Admittedly, our niche role in the human species might seem marginal, quaint, or even silly at the present time, if you're of a very boring, practical, and short-sighted mindset.
But just wait … wait until the whole world is a giant post-nuclear wasteland populated by clashing tribes of biker warriors all battling over some rare and precious resource like gas or water or fertile women. Then, let me tell ya, the instincts we refused to squelch, the fears that we trained ourselves to ignore, and the skills that we honed in the lost spaces of cities are all going to prove invaluable. And the bozos who didn't get it are going to be sitting on the radioactive surface scratching their tumors and gnawing on rat bones left behind by mutant cockroaches, while WE rule the mighty underground cities that we forged in the lost remains of massive subterranean military installations.
If they're really lucky, maybe we'll allow them to fight one another to the death in the post-apocalyptic gladiator-style games we run for entertainment in order to placate the masses. And all kinds of tough scantily-clad post-apocalypse babes will beg to reproduce with us.
Totally.
This is taken from those great urban explorers here in Minneapolis, The Action Squad!
Minneapolis sent two officers on a cross-country trip to tour seven of the chain's strip clubs. Grant Wilson, of the licensing department, traveled with police investigator David Rodriguez on a four-day trip in late March and early April to get a peek at the sexual contact between customers and employees, customers being allowed to touch their breasts and simulated sex in their laps, stuff like that, "Most guys think it would be a dream assignment, but it was very grueling,' given the late nights, the documentation involved and the travel between two states, he said."
(I did edit the above to tickle the funny bone just a little.)
We suffered a huge loss in the last move. Due to his constant fighting with Shadow, Carrie and I made the decision to give up Ziggy. This was one of the hardest things I have had to do... I loved him so much, and I know it hurt Carrie to no end. But Shadow is a fifteen year old grumpy old man and would not have adapted well to a new home, Ziggy is young and very charming. We brought him to the humane society after spending weeks trying to find a new home. He looked so hurt when we left him there, thank god he did not cry out I think I would have crumbled. Two weeks latter D my sis in law was with a friend dropping off a stry at the humane society and who does she see, but Ziggy as he was being adopted.
Dec. 10, 2006 — It's supposed to say sweet things to little girls like, "You're a wonderful friend," but push its button the wrong way and the Little Mermaid Shimmering Lights Ariel doll may say something else — "You're a slut," according to a California mother whose allegation came to light in a newspaper report.
I thought it was only the Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan dolls that where supposed to do that?
My heart & prayers goes out to the Kim family. You all have shown such courage and strength during the ordeal. For those who may not have heard this family of four was returning home after Thanksgiving and became stranded in the Oregon mountains. Three family members where rescued on Monday (Dec. 4th!) . James Kim an editor at Cnet had headed out on Saturday by foot to look for help. His body was located this afternoon.
Great news for girl watchers: Ogling over women's breasts is good for a man's health and can add years to his life, medical experts have discovered. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out" declared gerontologist Dr. Karen Weatherby.
Dr. Weatherby and fellow researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, reached the startling conclusion after comparing the health of 200 male outpatients - half of whom were instructed to look at busty females daily, the other half told to refrain from doing so. The study revealed that after five years, the chest-watchers had lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and fewer instances of coronary artery disease.
"Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation," explains Dr. Weatherby. "There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthier." "Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years."
Is this to good too be true?
A zillion dollars per an acre of woods sounds about right to me. Urban sprawl has ate up acreage all around the twin cities. It used to be "in olden times... twenty years ago" that a half hour drive in any direction would put you in farm country. Now I think all the farms have moved to the Dakotas. I miss the farms, the open land and open lots in the city where a kid could make believe he was in another world. Now all the old open lots are home to brand new condos and townhomes.

OK, I'm a little late on finding out about these guys. They call themselves Hitch50. They are trying to hitchhike to the capitals of all fifty states. As of yesterday they are stuck in Juneau Alaska and have hit 29 states in 24 days. Good luck guys, maybe I'll see you here in the Twin Cities.
Here, is a site with a ton of fun, funny and risque public art. Warning it does take forever to load but it's worth it.

And a few more pic's from the last set. I love fall and it's colors, I really think it is the prettiest time of year (besides right after a heavy sticky snow fall that sticks to everything). Fall is also my favorite time of year, warm enough to do things outside but cool enough that I will not sweat out a gallon of water. It's the start of football (go Vikes, what a game yesterday! Never count the Vikes out they will surprise you.) Fall also means that the Holidays are right around the corner (the Grinch I am I really don't like Holidays, I guess you could say that I dread the holidays. Why? It's not that I don't like the gatherings but over the years every one of my family members has died on or within days of a major holiday.) Carrie of course thinks that I'm just weird & pessimistic. Lets see, Dad on Memorial day, Grandma on July 4th, Aunt Viv on Thanksgiving, My brother within a week of Thanksgiving and mom had her aneurysm three days before Christmas. OK, enough of that. I'm off to work.
