’nuff said on this.

In itself, this can, and probably is a danger…if everyone responds that way, then the lilliputian yahoos who are running the brobdingnagian monstrosity that the multi-trillion government has turned into will have their unobstructed way…speaking of an even greater danger…so, forward once again into the breach!

It was…interesting…to have to get somewhat large quantities of snow out of the way before proceeding with other necessary preparations at the cemetary, but with heavy ag equipment, wonders were done, and the rest became more or less routine.

Working ouside in the cold  reminds the Chief of one of Clausewitz’ observations on war:  “Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.”

Ditto for outside work in zero-ish temperatures with wind!

Anyway…things are expeditious again, so it’s back to normal, or at least what passes for it.

Tuesday Events

Meanwhile…tomorrow is a big political day.

The Chief will be attendign a luncheon meeting with SD Attorney General Jackley who will be speaking on issues affecting the state with regards to the current decrepit state of Federalism. More to follow after the event.

Oh yeah, there is also the Massachusetts Senate special election, which one supposes that some will be following with some degree of interest.

However it turns out, there will be a lot of grist for the discussion mills…this has become a big deal…the Chief admits he will be one of those watching for the results on this.

Although Boston and the Bay State are a “fur piece” from the northern plains, the political reach of this one can have significant effects, even out here.

B.O. making fun of pickuop truck drivers in his effort to contribute to the Donkey Party cause has, IMHO a lack of situational awareness and again demonstrates an attitude of elitist contempt for life in the real world.

One could also point out that there is some inconsistancy in criticizing Brown for driving his truck – which is a GMC. Ooops! So much for supporting General Motors!

It’s a long way from the sidewalks of NY…nice to visit, better to live in SD IMHO.

I hope to keep up with posting somewhat…but it will likely be “catch as catch can” for most of the month of June.

A private research group says consumer confidence sank to new lows in February as Americans grow more fearful over massive job cuts and shrinking retirement accounts.

The New York-based Conference Board says its Consumer Confidence Index, which had decreased slightly in January, plummeted in February to 25, down from a revised reading of 37.4 last month.

That was well below the 35.5 level economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected. The reading is again at its lowest point since the index began in 1967.

A year ago, the index stood at 76.4.

“Every picture tells a story, don’t it?” ’nuff said.

There’s been the usual ration of insane news lately, however, and the Chief is definitely still hangin’ in there…
