Laughter is the best medicine!


So just before we got off shift last night we were talking about kids (and disciplining them)…the subject brought up by one of our girls getting home the other night at 1:30am after our 2nd shift ended, and as she opened the door she heard footsteps running up the stairs, with both kids looking to be asleep when she looked in on them). 

We have a few Hispanics in our crew and Daniel brought out this youtube video on his phone….it's freaking hilarious! I’d never heard of this….we had the belt hanging on Mom and Dads bedroom door-knob, but that was more of an after-action thing (go lie on your bed and I’ll go get the belt…Mom coming into our rooms one at a time, so we could HEAR the others getting spanked…anticipating our turn with dread, unless you had on multiple pairs of underwear like I did!)

Anyway, watch this video...if you don't laugh out loud I would be surprised! I've watched it several times and laugh out loud each time! It's a well-needed laugh!

  2. We occasionally get panicked posts from new neighborhood residents about spotting our coyote, or the foxes, possums, racoons...
    A message from our police department:

    There have recently been multiple sightings of coyotes in our area. Merely seeing one is not a reason to call 911! However, there are certain behaviors that are cause for alarm, specifically:
    Coyotes carrying any product marked "Acme".
    Coyotes dropping anvils from hot air balloons.
    Coyotes posting signs such as "detour" or "free bird seed".
    Coyote in the possession of a giant magnet.
    Coyote in possession of a catapult.
    Coyote detonating TNT.
    Coyote on roller skates with rocket attached.

    Please call 911 immediately if you witness any of the above behavior!

  3. Ahhh...good one! We are all old enough to remember that crafty Wiley-E-Coyote (Super-Genius) and his shenanigans! I'll keep my eyes open, hopefully I WON'T be seeing any of the above-mentioned Coyote activities.

  4. On a more somber note, we took the furbabies for a walk yesterday morning (Sunday) up in Avila Beach (about 20mi north). There is a nice bike/walking trail that Jeannie wanted to try. I was pessimistic knowing there would be WAY too many people there, and I was right. But we had our masks, so we walked the monsters. What was incredible was that WE were the ONLY people with masks! I mean literally out of the HUNDRED OR MORE people we passed on our out and back walk, there were ZERO people other than us wearing masks! I don't get it...are they in a different universe than we are? Is there no pandemic in their world? ZERO PEOPLE WITH MASKS?? SERIOUSLY?? A lot were looking at us like we were from Mars or something. I thought the whole thing was VERY odd...(and I don't want to go back). What are things like in your neighborhoods? Are people just plain STUPID or what?? Oh...here's a good one that I got today. So, on the morning news, it was reported that our local Federal Prison (Lompoc) has had OVER 1000 confirmed cases, but only 2 deaths. Then they just move on with the news, but I was stuck with that. Whoa...wait a moment, WHAT? That is only .2% death rate! WTH?? How does the prison have such a low death rate, and WHY isn't it being heavily touted/reported on? (they did go on to say that the Lompoc Prison accounts for over half of the cases in Santa Barbara County). So at work I ask Daniel (a co-worker, his brother works for the Prison system). Turns out it's a scam, cheating, whatever you want to call it. Yes, they have had over 1000 confirmed cases. Apparently the prisoners WANT to catch it, because when they do they are shipped out to somewhere else for treatment/confinement (I've heard a few places, can't confirm any, other than that they do NOT stay here in CA). So here's what's happening...they count the confirmed case for in the state/county, but here's where it gets insane: they don't count what happens to that person once they leave the prison! And NOBODY is talking about how many of these prisoners die! THEY DON'T COUNT THAT NUMBER! And I seriously doubt wherever they ARE at is counting the deaths either...it's a scam! Somehow or other the Prison/County/State are making out by this deception (or they wouldn't be doing it). Why isn't the news all over this? If I can do the simple math where are all the investigative reporters? WHY isn't anybody talking about this? Is this happening in ALL our prisons in the country? I'd THINK that every prisoner who gets it would be counted against the prison/County/State as either lives or dies. What a bunch of bullshit!! So apparently the numbers being reported are skewed/slanted/cheated to say whatever THEY (powers that be) want them to be! What are we supposed to believe? Jeez...whatever happened to just giving us the straight un-slanted honest-to-goodness news (ala- Walter Cronkite)? Even my Local News is just spewing useless fake numbers (which are obviously provided to them from somebody). This is RIDICILOUS!

  5. So yesterday morning (Weds) a small plane CRASHED into an elementary school playground just a bit over 1.5mi from our house! (I got out of bed at 10:38am and it crashed at 10:42am). We didn't hear anything, but there is a few diff videos of it from peoples door-cams and such...it came down in a super steep dive with it's parachute barely popped (this kid of plane has a parachute that can let the plane survive an engine failure, only in this case it didn't come down under the canopy). My guess is the pilot had a heart-attack and slumped forward into the stick driving it into a nosedive. He didn't make it of course, as it exploded and burst into flames on impact...crazy stuff! (not sure if this would make the National news or not). If it hadn't been for our pandemic the school would have been full of kids...no idea if they'd have been on the playground at that time, scary thought there! Anyway...wow! Here's a link:

    Crazy Stuff! anyway, have a great long Memorial Day weekend! I'm taking tomorrow (Friday) off so have a FOUR day weekend, woo-HOO! Now if only the freaking WIND would back down to normal...it's been STUPID! I'm SO tired of the wind right now! later gators!
