Failure to Launch

  I watched "Failure to Launch" it was OK.  Not a great movie but OK to kill an hour or so...  It gave me a few smiles. 

The Greatest Game Ever Played

I just watched "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and what a great great movie.  I am not a fan of any sport and I know nothing about golf but it was a wonderful movie.  I never heard of Francis Ouimet or the others.  The movie is true.
  I don't want to spoil any of the movie  for you.  But at the end of the movie be sure and read what comes up on the screen telling you about what happens to the guys. 

The American Astronaut

I just watched "The American Astronaut" (2001).  For the love of God don't every watch this movie.  I do not have the words to tell you how bad the movie was.. 

I have some good news for you... I am working on a page/site were I will place "news."  I am interested in the news and current events and I often comment on them here in ShowMeBlog.  I am going to put all of that stuff, from now on, on a different site.  So you will not have to read it here.  I think that will make most of you happy. 
I will post the link later today.  I have to set it up and get some information it so you will have some idea of what to expect from it. 

I walked over to the doctor's office and got them to call in the two Rx for me.  So I should have the medication to last me for a month.  I will see the doctor on the 7th of this month.

toolbar888 and Trojs

  Have I mentioned that I hate windows?  I think I have a few hundred times over the years.
I downloaded the new vita_5536 version as an image.  I could not burn it to a DVD.  Russell said I needed Nero to burn it to a DVD.  I did not have Nero installed but I found it in my download area and I installed it.  It would not run because the key was old.  I went looking for a hack key or a program to make a key.  I never go to hack sites but I found one and right away my Trend Micro PC-cillin warned me that their were virus and trojans on that page.  I downloaded a .exe file to create a key for Nero and got warnings from PC-cillin that there was a trojan or virus and it had put it in Quarantine.  I gave up on the idea of getting Nero running and gave up on the idea of burning the new Windows to a DVD.
  Then I started to notice my computer was acting odd.  I was getting pop up windows and other odd things were happening when I would try and surf the Internet.
  I then saw a new tool bar install called "Toolbar888" and I turned it off and then went and did an un-install of it.  The un-install did not work and then I ran a scan and two trojans; TROJ-DLOADER_AXO and TROJ_ZLOB.AST were found on my computer.
  I downloaded a trial version of ewido Anti-Spyware and ran it.  Time will tell if I won this fight or if the virus/torjans are still here.

Dasani "Raspberry"

  It is rare for me to drink water.  I am sure that is one reason I am having some of the problems that I am having.  I do take a drink of water sometimes when I take a pill.  Hell sometimes I just wash the pills down with Coke.
  Ken got some Dasani water ("raspberry flavored water beverage") and boy is it gross.  Just the smell of it wants to make me gag. 
  I just did a search on the Internet and I see that it is made by Coca-Cola. 
  Coca-Cola admits that Dasani is nothing but tap water. 
 
"...To create DASANI, Coca-Cola bottlers start with the local water supply, which is then filtered for purity using a state-of-the-art process called reverse osmosis. The purified water is then enhanced with a special blend of minerals for a pure, fresh taste..."

Discussion of FAA Problems

Controller Doing 2 Jobs On 2 Hours Sleep

"...The lone air-traffic controller on duty when Comair Flight 5191 crashed was working on only two hours of sleep, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The doomed flight was his 17th of the shift and a review of the tower tape shows he was guiding another flight around weather while working with the Comair crew, said NTSB member Debbie Hersman..."
FULL STORY
I have not seen any news reports yet or any blog reports yet about why this condition took place.  I think that soon it will start to come out to the public.  George Bush, President of the United States, for political reasons has put the public that fly in danger.
Bush and the Republicans hate any union and the Air Traffic Controllers have a good union.  Bush and the Republicans want to see fewer and fewer people working for the government.  They want to bid out all jobs to corporations.  It is the way they operate and it is the way they think and act.  Their thinking is the only good union is a dead union.  Their thinking is the only good employee is an employee, non union, working for a major corporation with no rights and at low wages.

Actor Glenn Ford Dead at 90

Actor Glenn Ford died today (08/30/2006) at age 90.  I enjoyed many of his movies. I remember him from  "Superman" (1978) but for me his great movies were;  "Midway" (1976), "Pocketful of Miracles" (1961), "The Sheepman" (1958) and "Ransom!" (1956). 

Well today is the last day of August.  This year is going fast.  I can not remember the last time that I went someplace.  I have not been on the MetroRail or the bus in a long time.  I may go next week to do early voting.  I want to get out to the zoo before we move from this area.  I also want to get to Haulover Beach.
LaDawna will be down a great deal during September and October.  She will be down here fighting for truth, justice and the American way.  We hope we get to see her and spend some time with her.
I also hope to get up to Washington DC and see the area.  Ken also said he would like to look around Washington DC.  Ken has a full time job and is going to school full time so it will be hard for him to find the time. 
I just took 2 mg of the Doxazosin.  I hope I feel better tomorrow.  I am going to bed now.  I sort of hate to go to bed.  I will dream about working and I also wake up feeling so bad.

Odds and Ends

Dad kills neighbor accused of molesting girl. 
Wow I have so many feelings when I read the story.  I can understand a father going crazy and doing something like that.. It was wrong but I can understand it.  But the dad was a lawyer an officer of the court.  It appears that he killed the guy just based on something that his wife told him took place.  Every thing I read just seems so odd.  He is out on $1 million bail!  He climbed through the neighbor's bedroom window and stabbed the guy to death.  I don't think he should get bail.
The guy may get off when it goes to court.  I would expect one or more people on a jury to feel like it was the right thing to kill the guy.  I thing that is very sad for those people and for our nation and justice system but I would expect it to happen.
If I were judge and jury in a case like that...if the he killed did molest the girl and if it is known for sure 100% I would say the dad should get 10 years in jail.  If the guy did not molest the girl or if there is any question about him doing it then I think the dad should spend the rest of his life in jail.
