Howling night things

Just watched an older Saturday Night Live when Dennis Miller was anchoring Weekend Update. Miller's latest approach (more conservative and supportive of President Bush) has made me let him back in the fold. In days past I would actually turn the channel if Dennis was on and left someone's house once because they were watching him do his liberal bashing of the GOP. Anyway, he's proof that some folks in Hollywood can deal with the real world. Enjoyed this episode of SNL and one thing stuck out; a quote of A. Whitney Brown. Please remember this is circa 1986. Mr. Brown said, "Iraq having nuclear weapons is like a termite having a chain saw." Poignant and funny.

Sleeping soundly I awoke to the neighbor's dog barking like crazy. There's been too much activity at night on the streets here it seems. Or this dog is psychotic. He barks at something randomly every night and it coincides with REM sleep. But hey, it's 3:15am and the birds are singing their tailfeathers off. Go figure. Could it be that the windows are open and I've just noticed things that have happened all winter? Can't remember last summer, but the air conditioning was whirring, so forth, so on, yada yada.

Rambling now and it's quiet at the beach house. Time to go back to bed and dream of warding off the waves of barbaric voles attacking. Maybe the psychotic dog can be enlisted to fight on my side. Make him a general and call him Hun, as in Attila. Fadin' fast. Peace out...
