I need a video/audio clip of this:

"Cowboying is when you get in a motor home or a van and you just let the air blow in your hair," he said. "And you wind up in some little bar in Arizona someplace, and you shoot a game of one-hand nine-ball with some 90-year-old Portuguese woman that beats the hell out of you.

"And the next day you wind up in a park someplace playing chess with somebody, and you go see a high school play where they're doing 'West Side Story.'

"And you just roam around and get some revitalization, that there are human beings in the world, that there are people living their lives that have no agenda."

repetative OUCH

My dad rented a car. He hit his head on the lift gate everytime he got my wheelchair out. It was good to see him. The last time he hit it he lost it. Repetative ouch. Even a dog doesn't burn his nose twice.

Driving interstate 5 through Central California . . .



Harris Ranch aka Cowschwitz

With its 250,000 heads of cattle the Harris Ranch dwarfs the Morton Feedlots.

Long before you reach the "Ranch" the smell snaps you out of your road coma.

Have inquired about touring the facility, not the retreat/destination resort they have created but the actual lots. We'll see if they grant me access, so I can take a closer look at this cesspool.
------------------------------

Harris Ranch,

As a frequent commuter between Los Angeles and San Francisco, I have long admired your ranch.

I am writing to inquire if I could arrange a tour of the Ranch. I'd like to see the actual lots that are visible from route 5.

I have a longstanding fascination & admiration for agriculture on such a grand scale and would love to observe the day to day operations.

Is there a, "Work @ the Ranch for a day" program?

Best,

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat or more cross species luv

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4748292.stm

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.

The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

elephas maximus

"Experts suppose that elephants once swam from Southern India to Sri Lanka where they settled."

Was looking into volunteering @ an elephant sanctuary. I found a good place in Malaysia but someone pissed them off:

However, all volunteering & internship opportunities have since been
stopped for an indefinite period as a result of various problems
caused by an insensitive, ignorant & " ugly " North American towards
not only the culture and the community @ the sanctuary but also towards
several visitors. Not surprisingly, this " ugly " North American volunteer was uncharacteristically and unbelievably endorsed by his own embassy!!

Is this old and I missed it ?

pROVE IT

The insurance company gave me $700 for the saftey equipment that I lost in the accident. I had reported nearly $1000 in loss. I don't think I will persue it. They actually sent prepaid UPS airbills for me to mail back the items lost. If only I had the cracked helmet and shoe that was cut off. Good lord the collection of objects they must get sent!!

Speed Cat

Begining to notice a patern:


Believe the original object was a shoe. I was inquiring as to whether a speed cat jump suit could be made.

This Speed Cat is made of soft pig suede and features an oil
resistant and non-slippery rubber outsole.
