Best Complaint Letter

I guess this guy had a bad flight. Lucky for us.

Obambies

I was talking with Stephen (an Obama-ite) at work today about how the pres-elect's followers are just that. They follow him around agreeing with anything he says, like a bunch of zombies. Instead of chanting "BRAAAAINS!!!" like regular zombies they say, "Thiiisss isss an hissstorrric mommmennnnt." (Historic, I assume, based on the color of his skin rather than the content of his character or his policies..... Dream on, MLK.)
So then I imagine Obama telling his zombies to shut up and give him their money so he can spend it on government programs, and they say "But weeee donnnnn't havvve any monnnnney lefffft."
To which he replies, "That's okay, we'll just borrow it. You can pay it back later. Or your kids can. Grandkids too, morelike. But one thing's for sure, I'm gunna spend it!" And the zombies say, "Ohhh-kayyyy. Whaaaat a greaaaaaat day forrrr ourrr naaationnnnn."

Somewhere during that, I decided that the Obama zombies should be called "Obambies". But before writing this post I decided to Google that word to see if I was, in fact, the first to utter it. Ha! I was surprised to find out that I'm probably just the most recent. What does a guy have to do to come up with a new word these days?

Just Plain Cold

I took this picture of the thermometer on my deck early Friday morning. It's the second-coldest temp I ever remember. But really, once it gets below a certain temperature, it's just "cold". The haze you see is steam rolling out the door from my kitchen into the cool morning air as I shivered and snapped the shot.

Winter Bass

I was looking for northerns, but look what I found this afternoon. Largemouth bass aren't unheard of in winter, but it's uncommon. It was a nice surprise. As you can see from the photo, it was bigger than my truck. But I was able to stuff it back down the hole. (I never keep fish)
