Monday, news you should know

This week’s post has a public service theme. Found several interesting topics swimming amongst the superfluous plasma we call headline news.

Since simple medical services are accessible in this country for most everyone who can walk into a clinic we have not put much thought into dehydration remedies. Thank you Bangladesh, They have invented homemade Gatorade. A quart of water, pinch of salt handful of sugar is all it takes. Next time you have bouts of “distress” with your stomach give this recipe a go. Much more healthy than pharmaceuticals and cheaper too. I know, way off the beaten path for the typical rants you experience in the Quarry but sometimes we need to change things up!

Staying on this topic. Did you notice the Yogi in India who has not eaten or drank anything for 70 years? At first glance my hyper cynical scientific evaluation was crackpot. However, the doctors who are studying this gentleman (I wont spell his name out because none of us could pronounce it anyway) have been observing for the last 7 days and the Yogi has not eaten, drank or used the bathroom during that period. How can that be? Either the testing facility is in on a well designed hoax or we are witness to a fascinating medical breakthrough. A few more days should prove evidentiary.

Now we should be back on track with some zealous diatribes aching for a voice.

Jan Brewer is a genius. For those outside the know, she is the Gov. of AZ. You remember the completely irrelevant piece of desert to the east of California. Not anymore. Ms Brewer has implemented one of the most courageous laws we have seen in many years. Immigration is rock on which this country was built but the illegal visitors have got to go. The economic ramifications are too numerous to mention, however the biggest monster in the closet we all must recognize is the impact of the healthcare bill. Mandated services for all will result in a liability our great grand kids will be unable to pay. Adding illegal aliens to the mix, who do not pay for their own coverage, will allow for an even higher debt. A quarry commendation is warranted for you Gov. Brewer for your foresight and bold stance

Only the marginally sane in Colorado could squander tax funds with a Commission for Extraterrestrial Affairs. Certainly the good people of the state will rise up and ridicule this nonsense into embarrassing oblivion. Think maybe there just might be more productive uses for this currency?

Justin Beiber- Mrs. Stone made me aware of a painful factoid this morning. Beiber fever is insidiously sadistic. His new album is #1. The catastrophic reality of our pop culture is tumor inducing. Maybe it is harmless pop music written for 14 year old girls but there isn’t anything else that can sell more copies? Suburban parents shelling out hard earned cash for this drivel is may require a 30 day detox .

As of this writing Rays 17-7- Twins 15-9- This appears to remain a race that will bear watching and of course, some quarry wagers if only for the right to crow about it!

Lakers/Cavs Final That will be Epic. Called that 2 months ago. Thunder gave my prognostications a scare but this final is destiny. Lebron will get his ring in a 7 game war for the ages.

Bret will be back, better than ever. Quarry altered advice; get back to chasing bar trash on the bus. Celeb Apprentice is too lame for the last of the hair band icons.

Steve Carrell- Michael Scott is one of the funniest characters on TV. The role is timeless and will go down in Sitcom history in the top ten. That being said, Steve is contemplating leaving the show next season. Big mistake. So many have tried and so few succeed in transferring their talent to other mediums. Stick with what you do best. Ride this horse till it drops and the cancellation vet walks in with the black bag.

Observed a panhandler the other day that was actually dropped off at the corner of a busy intersection by automobile. Left me with some curious musings His sign read four kids to feed. Wouldn’t it have been much wiser to stand close to home? Gasoline is not free. This same gentleman was also consuming a purchased caffeinated beverage from a vending machine. Isn’t water still available without cost (or very low cost) from most everywhere? Just sayin’ One day when more time and space is available a quarry based solution will be made public for this impractical behavior. Until then speculate at will on how to rid our society of freeloaders.

Only 4 days till Friday. Hang in there! Share a smile today, Pass that joke on. We can all use some levity on a Monday. Until next post be safe, happy and consistently mellow. If you cant keep cool don’t unload on anyone who signs your check.
