"Grilling Out"
I bring this up because upon arriving home I was met by the luxuriant odor of lighter fluid and charcoal wafting over the back fence.
I do not see the attraction to outdoor cooking - at least not here in this climate. Bugs, humidity, bugs, charred food, bugs. Man spent thousands of years struggling to get out of the forest and eat in peace away from the elements. I'm not going back. |

I agree with many of the initiatives from the Democratic side to help the less fortunate. I also believe in accounting for every dollar we send to the people responsible for administering any and all initiatives. The money wasted (and just outright lost) is staggering and criminal. Real oversight and accounting of defense, domestic, and foreign affairs budgets would save so much we could fund every program out there and have money left over. It would take guts, a steel will, and the knowledge you would have no friends and many enemies. There is a lot of graft - a WHOLE lot of graft. It just seems like common sense to me. |

Business would be the same*, if the government didn't pass laws and jail people who cook the books. But there's no meta-government to do that to the government. * well, mostly. Except business does need some accurate data to keep from going broke. Government doesn't have that problem. |

The ramifications of the pilfering affect us all, and the those with the least are denied the most. I have always hated thieves. |
I guess we have strayed off "shrimp on the barbie."

And what is the biggest cook out day of the year? The Fucking Fourth of July for Christ sake! One of the hottest, humidest, bug infested days of the whole year! I just don't get it. Today, I'm heading down to Florida for my 50th High School reunion. Know what the event they have scheduled for tommorrow afternoon is? A Goddamned Fucking Picnic in the Park, that's what! With the forecasted high in the 90's! Really looking forward to that! Sweat popping out of my forehead like BB's and drippin out of my armpits and down my sides, swatin flys away from my food and gnats away from my eyes and ears. It's gonna be fucking awesome! |
Fourth of July customs were established by our ancestors, in places like upstate New York. You have a cookout on the 4th, of course, and you go to the picnic grounds BY THE LAKE. Natural air conditioning.
