We're only a week into the new year, but already some ugly shit has been happening around the country and the world. Some cyberturds have hacked to death Pam's House Blend and other progressive blogs. Eleven gay bars in Seattle have been targeted by a terrorist letter threatening to spread ricin among patrons. Two gay men were beheaded in Saudi Arabia for alleged rape. More gay men have been sent to the slammer in Senegal. Westboro Baptists ("God Hates Fags") has been granted demonstration rights at the Inauguration, although that probably helps our cause rather than hurts it. If you haven't read about all this stuff yet, you can find the latest reports on Joe.My.God's blog and others under "Russ Recommends" there in the right-hand column of this page.
I still just can't quite get my mind out of hibernation mode to blog about these things. The first part of the week, everything was covered with ice here in my part of Texas, which made me just want to crawl into a nice warm cave and lock the door till April. Should have taken a picture of the ice hanging off the tree limbs and boxwood, but it was just too damn cold to get my hairy butt out in the yard with a camera. I did haul my ass out back to leave plenty of seeds for the birds and squirrels, though. How they stand it I don't know, but they are all out there every morning in the freezing cold, merrily stuffing themselves and loving life. Brrr.
I'm off work till Monday, so I'm still enjoying an extended holiday time here, relaxing and sipping hot coffee while I let the rest of the world rock on by. Maybe I'll get back to blogging on serious issues next week. For now, just more fun stuff here in the Blue Truck. Reality will return to my world soon enough, no doubt. I know the bills already have, can you relate?

Must be nice to have extra time to watch squirrels stuff nuts in their mouth. But, I can certainly relate to the reality of bills. It's a vicious cycle of finding an extra $1 to cut from the budget, only for the electric bill to go up by $2.
Yeah tell me about it. This freakin icy weather we had this week don't help a bit either. Hate to think what the heating bill will be for that.
Locally, other turds include the fuckers who, during an armed robbery in which the staff gave the robbers everything they wanted, executed a bartender at a local bar in a gentrifying neighborhood, as well as the fucker who robbed my boyfriend at gunpoint at a camera store in a posh neighborhood.
I'm getting a gun.
I read the post on your blog. Man thats truly awful, i sure understand your feelings. If you get a gun, better be sure to get some first-class training on how to use it. But even then theres no guarantee you wont be accosted sometime.
Thats one more reason I dont like big cities. Good luck buddy.
