Ripped from today's headlines:

Their Last Words? Languages Dying Out

WASHINGTON - Languages that embody the history and traditions of people are dying, researchers said Tuesday.

Losing languages means losing knowledge, says K. David Harrison, an assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College.

"When we lose a language, we lose centuries of human thinking about time, seasons, sea creatures, reindeer, edible flowers, mathematics, landscapes, myths, music, the unknown and the everyday."

Hey are any of you politicians out there listening? With the immigration reform you want to enact it will be English next!!!!



Speaking of politicians, here is the intelligence of some of our voters:

After a recent election the newspaper received a call in which the caller asked, "Just what did we just vote on? I'd like to see if I voted the way I wanted to!!"

Scary, very scary!!!



How about Seattle and welcoming a new slut to town:

New Seattle Trolley Line Has Acronym SLUT

SEATTLE - Officially it's the South Lake Union Streetcar. Within the old Cascade neighborhood, part of the area to be served by the new line, it's popularly known as the South Lake Union Trolley - or SLUT. At Kapow! Coffee, 100 T-shirts bearing the words "Ride the SLUT" sold out in days and another 100 are on order. "We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood," said Jerry Johnson, 29, a part-time barista.

I gotta get one of those T-shirts!! X-large if any of my readers are in Seattle!!




OK, now I have to relate a personal story of something that happened to me yesterday. Those of you that know me know how I am about reading, but for those of you that don't know me I'll explain.

I grew up just a poor kid who lived on the west side of the railroad tracks in a little dusty town in Nevada.

Reading did not become me with the exception of funny books (comics) so when I go to the library to check out a book I always need help.

You see, now that I have this interesting blog with faithful readers it requires endless hours of research to keep you entertained.

I have to say that most librarians are very helpful with the exception of the one yesterday.

Do you know how humiliating it is to be standing at the counter and have the Librarian hysterically laughing so loud that everyone in the library stopped what they were doing and stared directly at me.

I was taught you are supposed to be quiet and never raise your voice above a whisper in a library. Well she was just flat out loud.

I never did find out what was so funny about my question and I had to leave empty handed.

Maybe one of you can help shed some light on what was so funny about my request.

All I did was ask her if she had the two books I wanted to check out.

First, I asked her for the play Romeo and Juliet, the edition with Leonardo DiCaprio, then I asked for a book on Cleopatra, specifically the one with photos and that's when she got all hysterical on me.

I have decided to find a new library!!!


OK all you great people out there it's Thursday which means we are on the downhill slide for the weekend.
