Final Tribute to Jacintha Saldanha


The picture says it all - purpose and
dedication show on your kind face.


Your ethics about profession and the meaning of
personal responsibility were so daunting that they
beggar the imagination.


And they stand out in stark contrast in a world that
is ever increasingly obsessed with the glorification
of fools.

All dentists talk while they work. They have inherited this from their
professional ancestors, the barbers.

(now I know where the expression "cutting your teeth" comes from!)

Thankfully the garbage-pickup day switch seemed to go pretty well.
Except the neighbor across the street put his out on Tuesday so
naturally it wasn't picked up. I sort of thought that might happen
because he's not big on following current events. Guess if I was

Finally - a little excitement around this sleepy burgh.
After 15 years, they've changed the garbage and
recycle and yard waste collection to Monday from

Sure the other GOP assholes are still around mouthing
off on Fox but who gives a damn...

Possibly I'm too obsessed by politics. But it isn't that
really - I'm just offended by idiots as a matter of principle.

I'm not actually lazy - just don't have much...

Don't know about you, but I'm really sick of this Black Friday shit!


That, and every merchant you deal with, online or real presence,
surveying you to death afterward.

They got your money; then they want your time too.

Fuck 'em all, I say.

Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.




....William Shakespeare

"Beware of all those in whom the urge to punish is strong."

One of them said it but I don't know which. Maybe both.

I am so disillusioned with men named David....

the King first of all - but OK that was a long time ago.

then Letterman - I used to think he was a funny, respectable man.
(well, not that funny, but that's beside the point.)

now Petraeus - smart man, good leader, ethical to boot -
yup - I'm a fool.

What is it with these...
