Sunday snippers.

A gloomy, comic book reading kind of day. I like it. I'm weird that way.

***********

I foresee wet straw in every nook and cranny of my store.

************

Jeter Cheater? Don't really care. Just like the rhyme.

**********

Dog went flying out the sunroof instead of into Crater Lake? That's one lucky dog.

**********

I blog rather than twitter, 'cause I should humbly be omnipresent in only one medium at a time.

**********

Linda said, "It's the 100th Anniversary of the Pendleton Roundup." "That's alotta bull," I said.

***********

The W of a double dip, looks more like a little squiggle to me.

**********

Someone dropped a watermelon off the parking garage. Wonder if they had an audience?

**********

Customers say, "You have a lot of collectibles, here." I've started responding, "No....we have a lot of keepibles...."

**********

Could I twitter? All day long....

**********

I do seem to be getting more vague compliments about the store. From people who have barely looked around yet.

**********

Sure looks to me like there's a beer bubble brewing in Bend.

*********

Reckless disregard for the American Democracy. That's what the Tea Party is starting to look like.

*********

I'm torn about Labor Unions. I think they ought to be easy to start, but ought to be easy to disband, too.

**********

Little side bonus to a makeover at the store. I always lose about 5 pounds. I basically forget to eat, I'm so busy.

**********

Bank of the Cascades has 8th extention from "investors." Truth is, they have no choice. The investors are in for a pound, in for a dollar.

**********

I continue to have doubts about Westside retail. It requires a big city neighborhood buying pattern, and what we got in Bend is a city-wide buying pattern.

**********

My god there are a lot of books. When you start to look to buying them. Crazy.

*********

Moses the camel falls into a sinkhole. We have lost our way in the desert.

You're weird in many ways, Dunc.

You're such a fanatical Bend partisan that if dog turds were raining from the sky you'd claim to be enjoying it.

BTW the wife and I went to see "Little Shop of Horrors" last night and had a hell of a good time. The quality of the production and the performances were outstanding, by far the best I've ever seen in Bend. Well worth the $25 price of admission -- especially considering that nowadays you pay $13.50 to see a damn movie.

yep beer bubble comin last time in Bend there must have been a dozen new beer pub's most are all okay, prefer boneyard hell a growler on wed for $6, and the food at brother-jon
Well Singapore marches on and things are booming, but the news I'm readin from the USA is dismal, not much time to read the net,
The gist of what I'm reading is that here in Asia from now on we get all the oil, cuz we got the money, the USA grinds to a slow halt, and you'll have inflation for what you need, and deflation for what you don't need.
In essence expect hyperinflation for fuel, and to pay nothing for housing.
It ain't your grand-ma's USA,
Ahh did't get back to HP on the viagra thing, .. but in essence you got to buy it when in USA, ...

Hey, babe, you won't believe where I spent my afternoon. At the Race Way. A drag race. Sarah's boss races cars and we went to watch him and his nephew race.
It gave me a headache. We had to walk for miles to get to the bleachers from where we had to park. So I got plenty of exercise. Then we went to Toys R us and they bought a racing game for their Wii. I'm beat, but happy.
I just read all your Sunday snippers, just cause I miss you.

Sorry I don't have more time to stay up with DP's site, if you folks can tell me of a real site in Bend where folks talk honest let me know?
No real complaint here, the food is great. Spend most of my time traveling these days. About a buck for a 4 course meal, and $3 bucks for a room that would cost you $100 in Bend.
I expect that as the USA collapses and the dollar becomes worthless that we'll see inflation in Asia. Now it runs about 5% on real-estate, not killer, but continual. There building going on everywhere. The sad thing is the average person in the past had no debt. Now folks are starting to buy cars and motorcycles with debt, ..
The same people who destroyed the USA simply find fresh blood over here. Oh well by the time they fuck-up SE-ASIA greece will be looking good, or maybe even parts of Africa. Healthcare is still great here I have to take the kids all the time and its about $10 a day for a private room and that's the FULL bill.

Yep, Bend is paradise.

Don't have much to say for HP on the girl thing, its such an afterthought to have a beautiful woman anytime you wish, and the strangest thing is that the SE-ASIA wives actually expect their man to go outside and get extra sex, just make sure you use a condom.

Yep, at 65 I'm getting twice as much sex as I got at 20, .. life is tough. The worst part is I still have to have sex with these 20+ year old girls.

The wife don't like when I use viagra, and I think most girls get worn out when you do, so I usually just give males in my family me little blue pills as a gift. I don't drink her and most males do, so they need the little blue pill, but if you get lots of exercise and sleep, and don't drink, you don't need the pill. Sorry HP.

I was gonna take a swing at that big fat hanging curve ball, but ... nah, it's too easy.
