Loosey Goosey

These tres geese are "tre chic" as they "strut their stuff" ambling down some road somewhere on earth. I can't help but wonder "Yes, Y'all Geese are are dressed up and all but what's up with no shoes? You got dem fancy fancy hats (probably to celebrate the Easter Spring Season) but where the heck are your shoes? Maybe you were waddling or running late and plum forgot your shoes even though you were wearing plum colored outfits;I don't want to hurt your feelings but y'all got web feet.

 

At least your bonnets will somewhat protect you from getting skin cancer; but in the future you should wear shoes or people will think you  are some kind of uncouth fowl creature. Hey, maybe this photo was taken on a "casual Friday" and y'all were on your way to work and no shoes are required. Excuuuse me if that is the case. Y'all are stilin' fo sho.

INDI-MEX

 

I’m sure you have all heard the term “Tex Mex” relating to a fusion of Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. I recently purchased some Indian garlic spread and slathered some of this attractive brown and green “Patak’s”original garlic relish on a chicken and cheese burrito to create a spicy “Indi-Mex” concoction. This taste of India spread was on sale at the local “Shaw’s” supermarket on Cape Cod for a price of only $2.00 per jar down from an original $4.29 price. You just can’t pass up bargains like this if you are a fan of “Indi-Mex” meals. I can honestly say that this “Patak’s” original Garlic relish is the best Indian garlic relish I have ever tasted so I was doubly happy to see this item on sale and over 50% off.  I am curious to see if this “Indi-Mex” food concept will  take off and sweep the nation or I will be the one and only person to be caught up in this new wave of food fusion.

 

 

I know one time I tried a mixture of eating a cup of yogurt with eating a tin of smoked oysters from Korea or Thailand. Unfortunately, this combination ended up being literally “barf worthy” and I have never since eaten smoked oysters from a can again.

 

I am able to “keep this Indi-Mex combination down” without “Upchucking” so this combination definitely has some merit and the spiciness of the garlic sauce with the spicy burrito is good for waking up your taste buds. So, next time you are out grocery shopping keep an eye out for “Patak’s garlic sauce”; and don’t be surprised if you can’t always find it as remember that there are over a billion people of Indian descent in India alone so you have some competition.

Catching A Christmas Butterfly

Niece Kenzi is trying to catch the elusive pink and purple butterfly on Christmas Day with Auntie Leslie. Also shown on "You Tube" under the Uconn1976 film collection. This versitile butterfly also lights up the bedroom ceiling with a splendid starscape.

Tomorrow,It Is A New Age

Tomorrow we shall see if I wasted $2.00 plus 6.25% sales tax on this calendar for 2013. If the world does indeed end tomorrow then of course I and everyone else will have no need for future 2013 plans. I guess I am willing to take a "leap of faith" and prepare myself for the possibility that 2013 arrives on schedule after the end of this month. Time will tell, I just hope that after tomorrow the days will soon start to get longer as the past few days have for the most part been dark, dreary, and off and on rainy but relatively warm at least on Cape Cod for this time of year.

The Mayans prophesies that the end of an over 5,000 year era will take place tomorrow; but probably a new era will begin so just as every dawn heralds a new day so tomorrow probably will as well. The Mayans liked to calculate and think about large units of time probably because they had to do something during the heat of the near equatorial sun as they rested under a shady palm tree after ripping out a few  human hearts that they would harvest to please their Gods. Although this blood sacrifice can be viewed as barbaric and heartless for the sacrifice victims it does show that the Mayan culture believed in natural forces greater than themselves such as the Sun, rain, and an expected maize crop and felt to continue the beneficial effects of these natural forces sacrifices in their opinion must be made.

Our planetary position within the Milky Way galaxy is also supposed to have some significance tomorrow (12/21/12) as well. I can't remember exactly what but that is what the Internet is for I suppose if you yourself are curious about this topic.

Every day of course in our current earthly plane and dimension some babies are born and some people die. Some people will die tomorrow and a few people will probably die precisely at 11:00 am  when the world is predicted to end. For these few souls, it will in fact be the end of their earthly time and maybe their last thought as they slip the bounds of human existence will be, "What do you know? The world (at least my world ) did in fact end just as predicted. How did those jungle dwelling Mayans of yore know that my time would be up when I wasn't even going to be born for another 4900 or so years in the future?

So, we shall see if tomorrow is the final countdown, the beginning of a new era in human conscious development or just another Friday before Christmas. All I do know for sure is that tomorrow today will be history as right now tomorrow remains a mystery.

"Put A Lid On It"

 On December 7th I went to the newly renovated McDonald's in South Yarmouth on Cape Cod. They have this fancy new soda lid dispenser which I have never seen before in any other restaurant. You just pull open the devise for the proper soda cup top and out pops an individual soda lid. On the Grand Reopening I received coupons for a free extra value meal, a free oatmeal meal, a free McCafe drink and a McDonald's ice scraper for my car. "Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch?"

 

I went back to McDonald's today to use my free extra value meal coupon and was amused by the ketchup dispenser. I guess there must have been air in the ketchup dispenser line as the ketchup came out in an explosive blast similar to when you get air in your water lines when you shut the water off to fix a plumbing problem for example and then turn on the water again. I mentioned this to the next person less than a minute later who was going to use the ketchup dispenser as I said,"Careful with the ketchup dispenser as it is pretty explosive". Maybe this fellow didn't know what I meant as he tried the ketchup dispenser and received a big blast of air fueled explosive ketchup just like I did and he said "Whoa". He in turn told the next person less than a minute later, "Watch out for the ketchup". This next person tried the ketchup and spilled his full drink all over his food as he too was startled even though he was forewarned. Another minute went by and an elderly lady came up to the ketchup dispenser and jumped saying "Good Heavens!" 

 

Maybe there was a hidden camera somewhere and this was part of some comedy hidden camera gag. Maybe this explosive ketchup is part of the new McDonald's menu and renovations. I don't know. I almost wanted to tell one of the workers about this ketchup dispenser but didn't want the worker to say to me "Hey Buddy, Put a lid on it. We're just having fun as part of our Grand Reopening. Don't be a party pooper!" 

 

 

Land of the Seagull

 Saw this seagull today surveying his vast land estate located in the middle of Swan River in Dennisport on Cape Cod. It may not look like much land but the water views are spectacular as well as being close to fishing and clamming. To me it looks like this gull is surveying the right hand portion of his island and perhaps contemplating growing some crops. If the gull does decide to do some farming then he truly would be outstanding in his field.

 

This photo also reminds me of a scene from a Woody Allen movie (I can't remember which movie) where there is a scene in which Woody Allen portrays his father holding a clump of dirt in his hand and saying to Woody "Son, some day this land will be yours so make sure you take care of it". Yes, everyone should consider obtaining a little piece of land for themselves and hopefully this little piece of land is big enough to stand on and maybe walk around on.

"To Tell The Truth"

To tell the truth, I wonder if recently resigned CIA  Director David Petraeus will be called to testify before Congress as to his role in the Benghazi situation where 4 Americans including our Libyan Ambassador were murdered. Former Director Petraeus resigned after disclosing that he had an extra marital affair with alleged mistress Patricia Broadwell who wrote a biography about Petraeus in the book "All In". Apparently we now know that Petraeus was all into Broadwell.

Was Petraeus "blackmailed" by the Obama administration to report that the Benghazi tragedy was the result of a lame anti-Islam movie  trailer with the threat of exposing the Broadwell affair which was found out apparently some time last Summer? I don't know. You would think that the CIA chief would know how  to cover up his undercover womanizing from detection. As chief spymaster Petraeus should know how to protect  "A Saucerful Of Secrets" to name an old Pink Floyd album.

The Obama administration appears to be a unique blend of the Nixon and Carter administration. The incompetence of Carter mixed with the above the law deviousness of Nixon. President Obama has often relied in his political career on "Digging In the Dirt" to name a Peter Gabriel song to destroy his political opponent's character by prying into the personal lives of his opponents.

I have never personally been "blackmailed" as far as I know, but I would think that if the information that a blackmailer is brought to light especially by the person being blackmailed then this information no longer has any power over the person being blackmailed. The question regarding Petraeus is whether being threatened  with possible prosecution under Article 134 of the Military Code of Conduct if he testifies before Congress due to his affair is worse than going before Congress and lying about what really happen with the Benghazi situation and possibly although protecting the Obama regime opening himself to perjury charges. By self disclosing his affair, Petraeus I hope will sing the sweet song of truth before Congress so that the American populace can find out what really happened in Libya on 911 and whether the Obama administration engaged in impeachable and /or treasonous actions. We shall soon see. Sometimes reality is as interesting as a fiction spy novel. We shall see if the former "puppet master (David Petraeus) will spill some of his saucerful of secrets by telling the truth as to what he knows about the 911 story or whether to save his own skin he will lie about what happened and be a puppet of the Obama regime. I hope he has the courage,decency, and character "To Tell The Truth", (a former television show).
