Dico, Dico, Dico

I just realized I’ve owned and been using the same towel for something like 35 years.
It’s a big multicolored striped beach type towel. It is truly ugly as sin.
It was a key component of a halloween costume when I was about 7 or 8.
It went all through sports with me in middle and high school.
It was handily present during an awkward moment with a high school girlfriend.
It moved out with me at 18.
It was with me when I shacked up with my first, well, Shack Mammy.
California, New Jersey, Oregon, Idaho other places, other jobs.
Hell, this fucking towel went with me to Iraq.
Yeah it’s got a couple tears and one of the corners is starting to fray, but still does it’s job.
This towel has seen me through a lot.
That’s a hell of a fucking towel.

(this came up because my wife wanted to chuck it. I said no.)

My Baby passed her test! She’s one step away from Citizenship, At which time she can freely use the same two word answer I usually use when questioned by nosy bureaucrats.

I’m not gonna get into Specifics (or even dates), but based on our situation, I’ve long suspected that someone/or multiple someones “had our back” so to speak through out this entire process.

To them I say thanks.

random thoughts on patriot radio…

1. I constantly hear about heavy metal poisoning of the water supply/food supply etc - yet every other ad on these shows is for some kind of fucked up snake oil silver or gold based food supplement. Last I checked, silver and gold are heavy metals in the same class as lead. (am I wrong here?)

2. Valid concerns sounded out about mercury based preservatives in vaccines, ring kind of hollow when shouted out by someone sporting skin tags - hint: the same mercury based preservative is used in tatoo ink. Say What? Mercury does some nasty shit biologically speaking, but isn’t it a bit late to complain about it at that point?

Bullet points!
