Wednesday

First off, the goldfish were getting it on last night.  Lol.  These are big goldfish, well big enough anway.  Almost 7 inches long, thick and just large critters.  They are totally enjoying the bigger pond, that much is for sure.  I have no idea the time between the act and actually something coming out of the female - have to look that one up, don't wannt upset the enivronment by draining the pond, taking them all out of there and putting them back into the smaller ponds to be able to fit the large pond into the ground.  That's exactly what I have going to have to do - sooner or later here.  One thing, though, the water is staying cool - well cool enough - even though the temps have turned up the heat.  So, there is no great hurry to move the pond if this little fishy is going to have more little fishies - I would rather wait and see what happens than to potentially upset the possibility of more free fishies.

Next, I'm reading about a stowaway on a privately owned jet!  These people are insane.  At 35,000 feet, well, you are going to die of asphyxia or hypothermia - or probably both.  This dude was very lucky there was bad weather and the flight did not go up that high.  Still, do these people that do this not know there is no oxygen way up there?  Like committing suicide.

Mexico is outraged over a teen's death on the border.  It doesn't make me happy, but where was Mexico's outrage over their illegal alien coming over and shooting the rancher to death?  Or the recent fire-fight in the middle of the desert where several illegals were shooting at a Border Patrol agent?  Hmmmm?  There was no press about any great emotion being shown over either of those 2 little deals.  What business does a president of another country have in condemning the laws of their neighbors?  I could speak of the corruption in the government of that nation forever, I have been on the receiving end of it many times over.  Or that fact that the oil industry is owned by the government, one huge reason their economy sucks, the people are broke and poor and living in shacks, huts and stealing electricity with extension cords.   In fact, Mexico has so many problems created by the action or inaction of it's own government, that president should shut his stupid mouth and fix HIS nation before condemning OURS.  The details of the incident where the 15 year old was killed is rather sketchy at this point, but allegedly the boy and others were hurling rocks at  Border Patrol agents.

If that's true, well, I hate to wake everyone up, but a well thrown rock can KILL a person easily.  I'll wait to see what the investigations come up with, allegedly the incident or part of it is on video.

My heart goes out to the family and relatives of the missing boy  - Kyron Hormon - in Oregon.  The circumstnaces around his disappearance are suspicious at best considering he was last seen walking down a hallway IN the school.  I can't imagine what the parents of that kid are going through right now.  God knows I hope they find that boy alive.

Back to my own reality, Caleb got a call from Albertson's - a grocery chain which has a store all of a block away from where his mother lives - for an interview.  I told him to be himself, not be nervous and hopefully he will land his first job.  He has been trying for some time now.  He is a very respectful kid that doesn't go around mouthing off and acting stupid like a punk, I believe he has a very good chance at landing the job. Whether he realizes what it's like to actually WORK a job, be there every day they have him scheduled and is he really ready for one, well, only time will tell if he lands it.  I personally wish he would have started working long ago - but there are very limited opportunities in these parts for minors under the age of 16 to find work anywhere.  Not quite the same when I was growing up, where by the time I was my son's age, I had already been working for 7 years. 

Summer is here and kids are out of school.  I came out of my bedroom today, yesterday and Monday to find one of the black kids sleeping on my couch.  Something has gotten a hold of one of them - the brothers that is - because he has changed his attitude and punk garbage to something totally different in recent times.  Dunno what's going on with that, but it's a vast improvement over what he was acting like before - I had banned him from my house because of it.  The trailer tenant is - dunno yet.  He didn't look to good yesterday.  They apparently didn't quite follow the nurses instructions too well and have been giving him too much of the liquid anti biotics that are being pumped directly into his veins.  Just don't want anyone dying on my property, that wouldn't go over too well with me.  On another note, when he opened the door, the flow of cold air coming out of there was nice.  That evap cooler is working very well - at least for now.

Work day approaches.  I am getting off early today since I worked an hour and a half late yesterday.  Honestly?  Would rather stay late every day and get the pay!!!

Lol.

G'day.
