The Feast Day of St. Peter & St. Paul

MONDAY, JUNE 30
 I'm finally getting the hang of the DSL here. It is faster than mine at home, but very quirky. I think if I were closer to the hub I might not have as many problems with it.
It is a good 15 degrees cooler this summer here in Tombstone than it was last year. I'm still hot and bothered, but it is mainly frustration tempered with exhaustion. Last night I slept for 10 hours. It is probably because I drove the whole way, after having no sleep the previous night. Doc was celebrating the fact that Rumsfeld ... more »

OUR CULTURE OF DEATH
Have you done any serious channel surfing on the movie channels lately? If you have a weak stomach like I do, it is enough to sicken you. Even during the day, when allegedly, things should be ‘child friendly’, it is nothing but carnage. I’ve reached the point, at night, when I finally put this blasted blog to bed and I try doing the same (says a heck of a lot about my social life, doesn’t it) I grab a book and do some channel surfing. At night it is – vile. Why must we be treated ... more »

My Mother's Memory Test (A MUST READ)

on June 23, 2008 11:58PM (MDT)
MONDAY, JUNE 23
My mother has had memory problems since a spinal tap went bad years ago. Today during her physical her neurologist had his nurse give her a quick test.
Q: What day is it?
M: I think it’s Monday.
Q: What date is it?
M: I have no idea what the date is.
Q: What year is it?
M: 2008, I think.
Q: What is this (she pointed to her shoe) it is a shoe?
M. That’s a combination of rubber and chemicals. I do not consider them shoes. What I had on is a pair of shoes. ... more »

AC Update - Death by Cathair!

on June 20, 2008 10:44PM (MDT)
FRIDAY, JUNE 20 Last night was miserable. I was so hot I couldn't sleep. When I could, it was interrupted by either Rumsfeld or Bubbles or both. They were a couple of little horrors. I finally gave up and have been working on this blasted blog all day - so why have I accomplished so little? Actually I have 2 posts for tomorrow ready to go. I'll be doing family things all day and very late in the evening.

THURSDAY, JUNE 19 So far the AC unit is frozen solid. Nothing's moving tonight as it is off, melting. I'm doing much better than can be expected, considering my vile disposition when it comes to no AC when it is pushing 100 degrees outside. I've had to cut the blogging way back - to just an hour or so of writing and computer time. It's so hot I'm afraid the heat will fry my Mac's hard-drive. It's about 10:15PM and I am just now feeling teh first cool breeze. The good thing is it will cool down to about 50 ... more »

THE MOST OVER-RATED INDIVIDUALS
(1958 – 2008)
I would love to write a list of the 13 most over-rated figures of the past 50 years for a TT, but there would be such a cry of anger, I’d never get away with it. There are way too many liberals over there. We all know liberals have no sense of humor. So, presented for your edification and discussion, my version of the most over rated historical figures of the past 50 years – in order.

Repeating the LIberal Lies About Wyatt Earp

WYATT EARP, REPUBLICAN HERO
I was under the impression that Stop the ACLU was a reputable conservative site. Unfortunately today there is a post by someone named Warner Todd Huston, that is the most factually incorrect thing I've seen about Wyatt Earp and Tombstone since I wrote my book TRAVESTY: Frank Waters Earp Agenda Exposed debunking Frank Waters' (The Earp Brothers of Tombstone) that bastion of liberalness and basically anti-American icon who lied his way into fame, and New Age fame and alleged fortune. Frank Waters hated Wyatt Earp. He hated Stuart Lake, who basically wrote the ... more »

I am hot, tired, bothered, and itchy. My air-conditioning quit working. It hit 97 today. This blasted MacBook Pro gets miserably hot. I have a number of email to answer. If you don't get one from me this evening, you know why. My feet itch! Drudge has a rumor that Obama's handlers are going to start restricting press access - even more. I wonder if this will end the affair with the press, but that a silly thought. I was planning a Larry Sinclair update, but am waiting to find out what happens after he was carted ... more »
The Melanoma "Cure" - Finally Goes Public?
by
SJ Reidhead
on June 18, 2008 04:46PM (MDT)
ARE THERE TWO MELANOMA CURES?
I've known about one "cure" for a year and a half, and figured they would be forced to "out" the "cure" if John McCain were running for POTUS. I know one of the people in the study. From what I remember he was a late Stage 4, with maybe 3 months to live. That was at least 7 years ago. There were something like a dozen people in his test group - all late Stage 4. Every single one of them is alive today.
I don't know if this is the same thing. If ... more »

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17
On this day, in 1775, one of my ancestors, Paul Dustin (I think it was Paul, maybe it was Timothy) and a rag-tag group of real Minutemen faced some of the finest troops the British had to offer. I think the rendition of the story that just weakens me is the one from the John Adams Mini-series. Spunky Abigail was home with the children. During the night they heard the fighting, and went outside to watch the battle, more like fire-works than a battle. The following day, when the battle was over, and everyone was slowly heading ... more »

MONDAY, JUNE 16
This is the 2nd time I’ve tried posting this evening. I’ve been working on this blasted blog, trying to clean up the URL mess since about 10AM – 13 hours. I’m getting tired and cranky. I don’t think I ate lunch. I know I didn’t have breakfast. I’ve spent the whole day working on this mess. I had to cancel plans for the rest of the week so I could make the necessary repairs to The Pink Flamingo. Please be patient with me. I’m trying to get there. In the meantime, we may have discovered the identity ... more »

I FOUND THE PROBLEM
I've found what and who the problem is, I think. It was rather obvious when I started going through every single URL and link from last night, when Sally Vee caught it - in a brand new post. I don't know if the code has been altered or not. I'm basically going to need to go back through every post for about 2 months or so and re-insert every URL. The first thing is I've made a few security changes, so I don't think the person I think has been up to mischief can do so, ... more »

SUNDAY, JUNE 15
Sally Vee has discovered that some of my recent links are not working. I’m not sure why. If you are having problems, please let me know.
I’ve been rushing to complete a post I suddenly realized I’m not even using until tomorrow! That tells you something about my mental prowess. I had 2 hours of sleep last night. I fell asleep about 3:30AM and woke up about 5:30AM. Bubbles heard me and decided it was play time.

Annoyed with Site Meter – What’s New?
by
SJ Reidhead
on June 14, 2008 10:46PM (MDT)
FRIDAY, JUNE 14 Do you understand Site Meter? I sure don’t. Yesterday Site Meter said something like 189 people visited The Pink Flamingo. According to Blog Harbor, I had over 9000 distinct page views. The strange thing about Site Meter is ISP’s that show up on my Blog Harbor summery do not show up for Site Meter. Perhaps it is time to face the fact that Site Meter is completely flawed. I am using two other hidden counters on the blog. None of them come up with the same numbers.

FRIDAY, JUNE 13
I have a very good friend, Carol, who swears by St. Anthony to the point that she has me convinced he was quite a special person. He is always pictured holding the infant Jesus. He had a great love of Christ. He is the patron saint of lost things. He is also the patron for women seeking a husband. My friend has a system, which she needs to market. I keep telling her I’m too busy, but she’s starting to insist I adhere to her instructions. I just need to ask 13 people for pennies.

DEATH BE NOT PROUD
My cousin, Jim Reidhead, is preparing for a bone marrow transplant in a valiant attempt to defeat the leukemia that just doesn’t want to give up its grip on his body. His brother, David, was the donor. He is fighting to hold onto life.
Today’s sudden and tragic death of Tim Russert has been a bit strange, for want of a better word. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the death of someone who wasn’t an A-list celeb or a major political figure cause so much shock. Perhaps it reminds us about the fragile ... more »

THURSDAY, JUNE 12
When I dropped Rums off at the poodle parlor this morning I had an adorable little monster with 6 inch poodle dreadlocks. He now has a ‘buzz cut’ – his hair is maybe an inch long. He still has his fuzzy face and his pony tail. Evidently he likes it. I don’t, but he needed his summer cut.

So why won’t Barack Obama release his birth certificate?
My father will be 84 tomorrow. The festivities will begin around 10PM our time, and continue through 21st when we will have a huge blow-out party for him. Don’t go thinking it’s unusual for him to have a big, blow-out party. He has one every year. He’s had one every year I can remember. My mother has had only 2 birthday parties her entire life. But not my father. Three years ago when my mother was in ICU, dealing with a pace-maker and the effects of heart ... more »

DO WE REALLY HAVE A CHOICE?
There is a new site promoting Sarah Palin, Palin for VP. I hope all of our work is not in vain. I’ve been on the Palin bandwagon since Stephen Maloney contacted me about a year ago. She is the logical choice for VP.
We all know where this is heading for 2012. I think she will be a logical front runner. Okay, my dream is a contest between Palin and Hillary. Could you see all the squirming from the male members of the peanut gallery? What about 2008?

Ah, yes, that extremely important development – there is an exciting new place to shop here in Ruidoso! You actually thought this was about politics? There are things that transcend politics, and this is one of them. There are things more important than politics – shopping being the first thing on the list. Gina, at the Holiday Inn Express here in town, has opened a great little boutique. She is catering to larger sizes, much to my delight (and hers). She was telling me how much fun it was to send a gaggle of size “0” elsewhere, ... more »
