Wow blog 200

This is the 200th blog I have written since I began this silliness almost a year ago. If you read this blog anywhere other than my Blogspot account the number may not be that high, but it still counts. So what shall I write about with for this milestone event. I think I will have to write about the fires in San Diego County. Nothing political about how our National Guard is depleted, needlessly sent to Iraq, so the fire that should have been well expected, couldn't be fought properly. Thank you very much Bushies. I will not argue cases for prevention or the fact that people keep landscaping with eucalyptus plants, which are an incredibly flammable kinda plant. No, for blog 200, I am gonna talk about people who are insane about biblical signs. As you must know by now, Southern California is ablaze. I come from a forest area of Minnesota and have seen a fire or two, also I have started a few, but I have never seen anything like this. Last night, October 22nd, 2007, I watched a mountain burn. Mt San Miguel can easily be seen from Near my house in San Diego and last night it was on fire baby. I got home early for a Monday night and so I popped on over to the liquor store where I bought a disappointing bottle of wine and then, off to my house to watch Miguel burn. While at the booze shop, I ran into a fellow. He was in his bathrobe and slippers, he was also purchasing two, single bottles of very cheap beer. I was discussing the view from the highway with the owner of the store when the man in the robe said,"this may be the end of days". Now far be it from me to disregard the wisdom of an alcoholic in a bathrobe but I do not believe that the biblical Armageddon could possible start in California. I am no bible scholar but I have always had a firm belief that the end would start in Frankfurt, Germany. Those people gave us the hotdog, the most demonic, yet tasty snack known to mankind, next to the Twinkie but you can't buy those at ball games. The hotdog is the devils chosen food and it has killed more men than any earthly war. Enough of my footlong prophesies of doom. Now crazies from all over town are telling me this is the vengeful hand of god coming to smote us. I have tried to explain that San Diego is no where near Germany and about the followers of the ancient Cult of Braunschweiger but they all looked at me like I was crazy, Idiots. Anyway, I got to witness an awesome force of nature that made my heart skip and my eyes water which rarely happens these days. Awesome!

Hope you're okay. It looks like San Diego is going to go up in flames.

I roasted marshmallows and shot looters. Well they looked looter-ish at least. No sense in taking chances. Damn looters always riding their tricycles around...
