Girls Scouts is the best thing for a girl.

So, yesterday was lovely. I went with my daughter to the Brownies Halloween Haunt party.  We had absolute fun. My daughter and her whole troop had the time of their lives.

I tell you, Girl Scouts is the best fun I had in my childhood.  It was the one place where the usual social rules of exclusion didn't apply. Scouting didn't let it apply. It stressed team work and fair play and inclusion to a fault! People who were into excluding others didn't stay in Scouts too long. They couldn't have it there own way. Scouting pushes those bad actors right out.

Scouting is the first activity in my life that actually proved to me that I was capable of great things.  It also taught me that the world was bigger than my hometown.  It showed me that even a small contribution can enrich the lives of others.  I believe it made me a better person.

Go learn about Girl Scouts.  GO GIRLS!

The intolerable truth

Freshwater turtles are in catastrophic decline

Business cards, Huh? Good God, y'all, what are they good for. Absolutely nothin'.

So once every seven or so years, I wind up getting new business cards. I have to get the pack of five hundred. There is no smaller batch, and within four years they are obsolete because my institution's business logo has changed or the three digit exchange number after the area code of out phone numbers have changed or even my email address has changed spaces, digits, words or even periods.

Five hundred card go into the recycle bin, give or take a few that I actually hand out to people. The problem is that I never remember to carry them with me to places that I might actually need them; so they sit on my desk and look stupid while I hastily scratch my contact info on a cocktail napkin in the meeting room of some hotel.

So, the ol' institution did another logo change and I said "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" Hey, the contact info is all the same, and if you really need that logo on their to be correct, I suggest that you draw it in yourself. Hell, you didn't need no stinking logo when it was just a cocktail napkin and a half dried-out sharpie.

I got better things to blow money on than five hundred desktop decorators.

This sums up how I feel about it all today

09 We Are Monkeys

Travis - "We are Monkeys"

So I got really cheesed off today because perfectly normal people can say really stupid things an awful lot. When one is exposed to lots of people over such a flexible source as the internet, one's chances of finding someone who's mere whiny attitude is going to grate one's last nerve increases by a factor of 100,000. However, the chances that one will encounter a perfectly normal person having a 'singular moron moment' is greater. It's anomaly within the person expressing it, but to the witnesses, it is all too familiar. It's very much akin to foot-in-mouth syndrome but not as acute.

It would take lots of base eight math and a nerves of steel to find a way to factor around those kinds of encounters if one wished to still fully enjoy all the content and contact that the internet offers. Beside, one never knows when one has become the perpetrator of such a moment until it is too late to retract. And even if you do take notice of it, will you want to retract? Sometimes it our right to have an opinion that people really hate.

At this point, I'm learning to exercise my "Do Not Engage" muscle. It's the best solution I have found.

Yes, it was inevitable.

Me and my Droid Phone
More bars than an iPhone
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It's me and my Droid Phone

Me and my Droid Phone
Not texting on the road
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It's me and my Droid Phone

And in the morning when I wake up
She hold my calls, I didn’t know
And email when I’m on the go
I'll carry on, oh yes I will

Me and my Droid Phone
