I'm going to do several analogies here to prove a point. Call it an exercise of the mind, if you will.
The first instance is an enclosed garage. If you put a person in the garage with a running vehicle, how long do think that person will survive? Not very long. Right? Dead as a doornail!
OK. Now we take the same scenario and replace the car with a bonfire. It can be a small one so it doesn't catch the roof on fire. I'm betting that the person in the garage wouldn't last very long either, and would in fact die in a short amount of time. Right? Are you with me on this?
OK. Now take the same situation and put a barbecue in place of the bonfire. The same results would occur. Certain death! Right? It's like shear stupidity to do things like that. Even a gas grill will kill a person in an enclosed garage. Right?
Right?
Now, if we change out the barbecue with a person smoking a cigarette. How long do suppose the other person will take to die? 20 or 30 years? Maybe longer. I don't know. They might want to bring their lunch, or stock up the fridge, or something. Just as long as they don't light up the barbecue inside the enclosed garage.
The reason I'm writing this is fairly simple: In practically all the parks and beaches in San Diego and San Diego County have prohibited cigarette smoking. Yet it is totally permissible for people to drive their car to the park and have a barbecue.
Today, I didn't go to my grandson's birthday party. The reason is that they are holding the party in a non smoking park. This is my protest against silly laws. If you want grandpa to go to the barbecue, you better change the law. 'Cause I ain't going! I'm protesting! Until you quit driving your silly cars around and stop all the bonfires and barbecues, you can't point you finger at me and tell me I'm the evil one that smokes cigarettes outside. Fuck you!
That, my friends, is my rant.
By the way, I'm probably missing out on a bunch of good free food. But, that's the price I'll pay to protest hypocrisy on the grandest of scales.
After a couple of tests, everything seems to be working fine with Blog It. I'm still using Deepest Sender for HTML editing. Blog It doesn't have that. I also wish Blog It would work with Myspace, but you can't have everything.
Last night Miss Joplin came by. I told her that that I would NOT babysit her truck. I don't want to be responsible for it.
I stayed up for a while. I was thinking about going over to the band around the corner. They didn't start cranking up until 10 PM. I decided against it. They didn't play long. I don't know if they got any noise complaints.
Today, I was going to take Miss Clairevoyant on an adventure. I was going to take her over to the swapmeet and then go grocery shopping some more. I woke up at 9 PM. It was already feeling hot by then. I got on the computer for a little while. Then I woke up Miss Clairevoyant. We got ready to go. Just as we got out the door, I thought about the charge on the electric wheel chair. It was low. It was too hot outside anyway. The trip got cancelled.
I've been hiding out in my cave the rest of the day and drinking beer. It's much cooler in here.
In this test I'm going to try a little coding.

I'm testing Blog It for multiple blogs. Please respond with a short message if you see this.
