Monday Night : NEW YORKER Disgust,Gut Ponderings,Methane Highs, and More Beach Lust

Summer Ponderings Continue.....

*****************************************
Summer is not the time to have Sewage Woes....but alas it is what it is.Tonight I am still slogging through my Gut woes, and we have been Battling the Sewage Gods again. So that means waiting for the Plumber, and getting high on Methane Fumes...a truly lovely Monday.The Plumbers arrived finally and stumbled about the yard searching for the Out Pipe....It was an Adventure. So I have been distracting myself again with NO RESERVATIONS on the Travel Channel ( FOUR whole episodes- and oh Heavens- I found out that Tony Bourdain has a Blog...) and reading the Internets. And I have been Pondering.....

MONDAY PONDERINGS.....
(1) And the thing that kept burning my Mylanta infested Gut all day....That Damn New Yorker Magazine Cover. So I blogged it down below. I had to. Enough said. ( and I also Posted a George Carlin video that show what Satire looks like and sounds like...because frankly I needed some Real Humor , not "humor" by some swine in New York). Also below is the list of Addresses and phone numbers....you know what to do.

(2) So John McCain" does not do the Internets" ? He is "Learning it "? He has other people "look stuff up for him".....I am sorry but if Granpa does not want to go Netting , that is fine, but the Leader of Our Country should be Net Literate. It is not funny, it is about being part of the MODERN World, it is about communication and education. Most of the Older People in my neighborhood are online, it is not a difficult thing. Bush was and is Illiterate, so we are going to have another person that struggles with educating himself possibly running our country ? whoa.....

Tonight's Beach is Cape May ( both photos)::::

The Summer we were ten we went to Cape May....it was mystical. We stayed at an old Inn, with white wicker furniture, and yellow rose wall paper...and white billowy lacy curtains full of sea salt and dancing at the windows. In the Dining Room below , there were meals served and during the day we got to watch Live Theater in the round for children, plays like Heidi, Peter Pan and Songs from the Wizard of Oz. I had never seen Live Theater before, I thought they were amazing, brave and talented. In the evenings if you sat in the rockers on the Front Porch, you could eavesdrop on the "Adult " Plays, LIVE Shakespeare. I "heard" Romeo and Juliet, and Midsummer's Night's Dream. My sister and I would crouch below the window and peek in and watch the LIVE plays. For someone like me, shy and bookish, LIVE Theater was magical......

And then I had all of these wonderful FIRSTS in the Dining Room, Peach Pie with Pralines& Cream, Buttered Lobster (wearing a childish much needed Bip), and HUGE dill pickles, and French Fries drenched in Vinegar......If I eat these foods I still get hot and smell sand and a salty breeze.

And I read "Exodus" by Leon Uris ( which is how I learned about sex)......on the Beach...I was 10...I gave my mother a Heart attack....It was a Great Summer.

Have a great Night....
Here is your Nelson Mandela Wisdom for the night....and then some Music..
"If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers."
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."

And your Music....Micheal McDonald ,This seemed to be the right song for tonight.
"What A Fool Believes" ....
