My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Tacos by Drone?

Has all hope been abandoned in the formerly (G)OP?  I, for one, have always voted for whomever I thought was the best candidate for the job- irregardless of party.  At this juncture, though, I find that I can no longer be associated with the Republican party.  While I still hold some beliefs that I thought were truly conservative, the current party is a mess.  I have re-registered with another party AND still will vote for the best candidate for the job.  I urge you all to do the same.


A sign of things to come, but I don't believe that they will be welcome.  Can you just imagine putting in a Taco order on your so-called smart phone and then waiting for them to be delivered- by DRONE! Last night there was a program on TV that had a group of police using a drone to spy into someone's second story bedroom.  One has to draw the line somewhere.....

Reasoning
Ever had something happen to you that in a flash of the eye changed your outlook on life forever?

I was sitting at a stoplight yesterday, minding my own business, waiting on it to turn green.

A carload of young, loud Muslims shouting anti American slogans stopped next to me. The
light changed, the Muslims shook their fists, hit the gas and darted off ahead of me.

Suddenly an 18-wheeler came speeding through and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely.

For several minutes I sat on my bike thinking to myself, "Man, that could have been me!"

So today, bright and early, I went out and got me a job as a truck driver.

NEW Wine for Seniors
I kid you not...

California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce
Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the
bathroom during the night.

The new wine will be marketed as
