The Problem with the “S” Word

First, sorry I didn’t publish yesterday’s blog until today. It was all done, but I guess I just forgot to publish it.

Tonight I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I’ll watch all of the rest sometime before Saturday when I go to see the last of the last of the films.

The Problem with the “S” Word

There is a terrific article at Townhall Magazine. I don’t know that anyone could say it better.

Florida Gator

A few miles from Lake Wales (!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! These first 2 pictures were taken by a KTBS helicopter   flying over Lake Thomas ,  Winter Haven , Florida  The helicopter pilot and the  game wardens on the ground were in  communication via 2-way radios. Here is a transcript of  their conversation. 'Air1, have  you a visual on the gator, Over' 'Approaching  inlet now, Over' 'Roger   Air1' 'Gator  sighted. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth....moving in, over' 'Roger   Air1' 'Oh Crap it's  a Deer!'    'Confirm   Air1.. Did you  say Deer?, Over' 'Roger........a Deer in it's  mouth....looks like a full sized buck...that's a big  gator, boys.  We're gonna need more men, Over' 'Roger   Air1....can you  give me a idea on size of animal, over' 'Its a big  one.....25 feet at least, please advise, gator is heading to inlet....do I pursue?,   over' That has to be  a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!  The deer was later found to be a mature Stag. If you  ski at the west end of the lake ---- try not to fall overboard. This alligator  was found between Lakeland and Winter Haven Florida near the house of Anita and Charlie Rogers,  who could hear the beast bellowing in the night. Their  neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in  the waterway that runs behind  their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations. 'I didn't  believe it,' Charles Rogers said, but after the alligator was killed, they  realized the stories were, if  anything, understated. Game wardens  were forced to shoot the alligator.  Joe Goff, a 6'5" tall game warden, shown below, walks past the 28-foot, 1-inch long alligator that he helped shoot and kill in the Rogers  ' back yard. WOW!!

Horrible Bosses

Today I went to AMC and saw Horrible Bosses. It was hilarious and rightly labeled ‘R.’

It starred Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeik, Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Anniston, Julie Bowen, and brief appearances of Donald Sutherland and Bob Newhart. You will not believe what they trouble get into.

Well, back t6o the books.

Until next time…
