2008-04-19 16:51:00 I know that the appeal of NBC’s The Office is that we have ALL worked with those people. At one point of another we have had a boss like Michael Scott. Michael cannot avoid saying the outrageously inappropriate things that come out of his mouth. The episode that aired this past Thursday, Chair Model, was outrageous ... More About: Television , Gays

Weight Warriors: Week 10
2008-04-17 20:31:00 The post-game food analysis of the weekend trip to the Rose City came up a solid B. I didn’t go overboard on food, maybe a little on good beer.

2008-04-17 19:50:00 I am one happy Blazer fan today, a .500 season! The season ended last night with a 100-91 loss to the Phoenix Suns. That is NOTHING new from the past several season. And, once again, the Blazers are not a Western Conference playoff team. Again, nothing new there. What is new is the spirit that I and ...

Get off my lawn, Dagnabbit!
2008-04-08 02:05:00 I do not have a perfectly manicured lawn, with well edged flowerbeds containing champion roses and well trimmed topiaries. But what I do have, I work hard to make it look somewhat decent. Unlike some lawns in the neighborhood, mine isn’t riddled with weeds and my flowerbeds actually contain flowers. So I get a little ...

Show Boise the same respect the terrorists do!
2008-04-06 08:16:00 I have a special place in my heart for Boise, Idaho. During my teens, and later, it was my escape. It was good food, entertainment, debauchery but mostly it wasn’t Ontario. But it wasn’t always that way. Up until the mid-80’s Boise was a pretty dead place. The economy wasn’t that great. People didn’t want ... More About: History , Show , Thoughts , Terrorists , Respect

A Day on the Farm
More articles from this author:2008-03-27 20:34:00 While I was down in Ontario this week I saw a bumper sticker that said “I won’t eat anything with a face”. Well, me neither. If your steak still has a face… you’re doing it wrong! SO…Â If you are from PETA or are easily upset by the requirements of life on a working farm or don’t really want to know where your food comes from … please skip to the next post. If you read this post and THEN feel it necessary to make a comment on how cruel these activities are; just remember… you have been warned. It’s a beautiful spring day in Far-Eastern Oregon. This is a picture of Ontario’s local landmark, the Malheur Butte. I took this picture from my In-laws’ driveway just after sunrise. Western Oregon is beautiful, green and lush. But Eastern Oregon is just (if not more) beautiful, don’t you agree? Grandpa has told the kids that he can use their help with a little project this morning. This (February/March) is ...
