It’s been gloomy and overcast here for what seems like a million years. I don’t think I could handle living in a coastal area that saw this kind of weather all the time (I’m looking at you Seattle and Vancouver) without going insane.

I still keep forgetting my camera at Mom & Dad’s place, so I can’t put any pictures up on either of the kids’ sites. Speaking of which though, there’s a movement afoot to combine the two sites into one. Those of you who check them both religiously will have one less place to visit in the coming weeks. Haven’t done it yet though.

I’m going to drop an email that I sent out in here verbatim. The subject under discussion was Roy Shivers’ comments in an interview, and the reaction they’ve generated.

I think it’s a situation where in a population of 100 people you will have 5 that have had a humourectomy, and get offended by anything and everything. Time was they’d hide behind the “Politically Correct” crap,but the other 95 people got fed up with them and told them to “go to a non-denominational place of punishment” and “attempt to reproduce with yourself.”

Those 5 people are still around though, ready to pounce on anything that anyone says that could be construed as “bad.”

Of course being in the media might turn you into one of those bozos so that you can manufacture sensational stories on a deadline. Then there are the 35 people out of the original 100 that allow the media to spoonfeed them their opinion, and next thing you know, you’ve got a fullblown controversy, and fines will be levied by the league (mark my words.)

Meanwhile, of the 40 people in total who were offended, only three of them have ever been to a Stamps game (one being the guy who wrote the “I’m offended” article in the first place)
