Don't forget that this Sunday is Mother's Day. Now you have almost a week to prepare for this festivity. Times are tight so maybe cooking a nice dinner, sending a nice card, maybe one rose and a personal note written from the heart. God Bless all of you that have experienced their passing. IMHO, there's a very good chance a vast majority of Mothers make it to Heaven.
It's raining. From the looks of the weather radar it will continue randomly through Monday. The windows are open and the air smells wonderful. This may be a good day to put the house in order. On that subject, will someone please recommend a good laundry stain remover? Clothes seem clean out of the washer, but end up with spots after drying. I think my dryer may need replacement. How much do they cost nowadays? $20,000.00? When I see the price of produce at the market it makes me shudder. Seems that pound for pound it's more expensive than meat. On that subject here's a hint; if your produce is marked from Mexico it might be wise to scrub it before using it. We don't need a Swine flu epidemic. Prices are still going up. Wait for gasoline to jump back up to heights unknown as warm weather approaches. Anyway the beach house won't be able to afford a brand spanking new clothes dryer for sure.
If you'd like to contact Senator Roger Wicker (R, MS) he has a nice web page that is easy to navigate and even has a search engine. The beach house will now receive his newsletter which can be obtained by filling out the simple form linked on the home page (bottom left corner). Since the Democrats have spent more money total in the 1st 100 days of the new term than the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Katrina disaster relief fund combined, it might behoove you to pay attention. President Obama and crew have obligated several generations of Americans to this debt and we lean towards a Socialist society. Capitalism made this country thrive for several hundred years and it's time to do what is best for the U.S. of A. I don't care if your Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, or the man from Mars, this concerns you. Senator Wicker has a balanced, level headed approach and his page is well worth saving in your bookmarks or favorites. You might subscribe to that newsletter too.
Advice time. If you have an ear infection and it alters your sense of balance, stay off ladders.After a crash off an eight foot ladder the welt on my back and arm are very sore today. Finished the job without complaining and was alone so no one was handy to laugh at my big fat buffoon butt. Of course the ladder came down with me and I landed in the middle of several tool boxes and my roll around cart. After resting sporadically last night I am aching and the ear infection has not subsided. Things like this have to happen occasionally to remind me that the age of 18 is long gone. Thank goodness nothing was broken. Don't get me wrong it is even uncomfortable to wear a shirt. Hopefully, everything will return to normal after a day's rest. Didn't hurt so much last night, but it's not even possible to lean back in a chair today. Fellow worker that just built a cabinet for a cable, phone and network head-in that is my current field project said he had this mess over the weekend. He stayed off ladders. Sometimes I feel so stupid.
There is so much buzz about Windows 7 it's hard to sort it out. Will they include a feature that makes it emulate XP or not? Who knows? That's just one rumor traveling the net. Just finished an article at ZDNet which has left me more confused. Okay, first things first. There will be a 32 bit version. It is not exclusively 64 bit. The 32 bit 'platform' is what most PCs use. Somehow I think this might be good news. The article is written in a question and answer format and there's a lot of "more on that later" responses from the author, Ed Bott. If you are following the Windows 7 saga you might find this post interesting.
TGIF. Only two more days to work this week. Our weather has finally settled down and we are experiencing spring days and nights. It's neat to see everything come alive and all the activity. Birds are singing, dogs and cats are howling, and there is the smell of roast beast in the air. It would be wonderful to kick back and enjoy a weekend of leisure. Won't happen at the beach house. The list is too long and it may make me lapse into warp whine so I'll pass on posting the "list."
Two things I despise. Washing dishes and mowing the yard. I certainly hope that in heaven dishes are self cleaning and there is no grass. It's my true belief that the finest lawn mower made in the solar system could be purchased for beach house use and it'd find a way to fail and void the warranty the very first time it cranked. I want one of those electrical dishwashers too. We'd probably get it installed and when the water entered it fire would probably burn through the door. There I'm through bitching about house and yard work. All this frustration has made me tired. Ahhhhh, it's naptime. Later.
Today is Earth Day. Do you know why it is celebrated on the 22nd of April? Seems that John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club, was born on this day. So was Julius Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. Lenin, the Communist celebrity long dead, was also born on this day. Something tells me Lenin was probably not a big fan of things environmental.Yet the best tie in with the birthday factor to my Methodist self is Aprill 22nd also happens to be the birthday of a well known Roman Catholic Saint, St. Francis of Assisi. He's considered by many the first environmentalist on the planet. That connection just feels better to me. You can read much more at Wikipedia. If you don't plant a tree today at least stop and admire the beauty of our planet. I will attempt to improve planet earth by mowing the jungle around the beach house. This holiday is somehow in a strange weird way connected with liberal Democrats. Don't believe this media goofiness. Many conservative Republicans are concerned about the well being of our earth. I am one of them. So take a good look around today and count your blessings that our stupidity has not laid waste to this sphere of land and water, yet. BTW, the ice cap in Antarctica is growing contrary to the rubbish being espoused by the nutjobs. Check out the article at American Thinker. If that is not enough proof then Google it and read the thousands of sites that endorse this finding.
Just knew Monday was too good. Am home sick with stomach virus from hell and that's all the details you'll need or get. Have managed to make some improvements to one of the beach house web servers. Was working on the wifi system too. So far I've managed to reduce the signal from excellent to good. Backed away from that project for now. Beagle, Verdana's looking for a local kennel so call her if y'all haven't talked. Verdana, Uncle Snake and the girls are in the throes of moving and I don't envy them. 
Since last night, I have joined several groups on Twitter to protest the termination of Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles . Really like this show. People that program TV networks must be a strange lot. It looks like a lot of big business bought ads and Sci-Fi seems to be in vogue. FOX has been the ONLY network I watched for news and has been my favorite over the others for many years. This will be a great disappointment if they do cancel TSCC. FOX made a very bad programming mistake several years ago after they canceled Firefly after 14 episodes. It went on to be a blockbuster movie and probably would have lasted on TV for years if given a chance. Yes, it was Sci-Fi too. Folks, it's the age of the nerd and nerds like science fiction, especially great science fiction. The picture is a character name Cameron from TSCC. She is a cyborg from the future and is played by Texas native Summer Glau. Ms. Glau also was a member of the cast of Firefly. She appeared as a regular in all the series episodes and the movie. Yes, she's easy on the eyes and does a fantastic job with the Cameron character portrayal.
Just caught up on Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles at Hulu Then I found out they are canceling it! Granted, when this show first hit the airwaves I thought it was just another knock off that would be unpolished, underwritten and last minute filler for a new season. Try 180 degrees of that description and you have this show. It's great. It's awesome. It's stupendous. Of course the theme is Sarah Connor protecting her son John, who is now in his late teens, from the evil SkyNet. It very much follows a lot of the storyline setup by the three blockbuster movies. The plots are grand and very well written. The acting is superb. The person responsible for casting the characters deserves an Emmy hands down.
This pirate thing is ridiculous. I can only tolerate so much stupidity. The answer to the problem is so obvious. Give the merchant marines guns!! Mount 50 caliber machine guns fore, amidships and aft. Port and Starboard. Arm each individual crewman and have rocket launchers at the ready. If a shoulder launched SAM can take out a high speed warbird at 50,000 feet, shooting their sorry pirate asses will be a piece of cake. Real simple. If a boat approaches you and engages your ship in a hostile way, sink the bastards and leave them to die. Kill 'em all and let God sort it out. I can't believe this blatantly obvious solution hasn't been implemented. Should have happened years ago. Declare a "safe" lane in the area and if unauthorized boats enter that area have aircraft standing by to kill them. Let the rotten, foul excuses for humans see an A-10 Warthog sink some of their rogue brethren and this evil abuse of human rights will stop. They will be deterred or suffer in pirate hell. They are dumbasses for practicing piracy and our government officials are even bigger dumbasses for not following the simple plan mentioned here. Grow some big ones Washington and put an end to this embarrassing situation!
It is hard to comprehend why these upgrades are not in place. They've had problems in this area for years! On the way home from Iraq, let our aircraft make strategic passes over the pirate bases with intent to harm. And then get some type of government in that region that can control these minions of Satan. They've declared war on America. War my ass! What's the more appropriate word? Suicide. Sheesh! Think about this the next time you vote and elect a Representative, Senator, President, Governor, etc. You can bet your sweet bippy Ronald Reagan would have had this under control in a matter of days. Maybe even hours. But, that's what we get when we have a ruling government made up of gun control idiots and fraidy-cats. Yep they can kill unborn children, but are too scared to whack a bunch of sea thugs. Go figure. I certainly can't. Wish they'd drop Nancy Pelosi right in the middle of the gnarly bunch!
So wrapped up in Microsoft's halting of mainstream XP support on Tuesday, it was forgotten that Cybersouth-from the Saltillo Beach House turned 6 years old. Quite a milestone for someone that started this as a personal log, lol. Hopefully, down through the years we've helped with anti-spyware programs and warnings about the yahoos (pun intended) that are the creeps behind such garbage. Still putting together a different format and hope it will be in place soon. It amazes me that if you search for the word Cybersouth on Google this site has been the #1 hit for over 2 years. Bet the ISP in Georgia named Cybersouth is not happy about it, lol. The ongoing debates about different platforms, OSs, etc., have been fun for the most part. Sure do miss Anonymous Apple Dude, even if he was a bit foul mouthed.
After an extended search a site has been found that has The Big Bang Theory full episodes. It's MegaVideo. Be sure and register to take stuff off the screen. Not the best videos, but watchable. There are some that have annoying Spanish subtitles. Hopefully this junk can be turned off. I don't even like English subtitles. Anyway if you are a geek or nerd be sure and catch this show. It's about physicists, rocket scientists, etc. They are hilarious. It's on CBS Monday at 7:00PM Central.
