• we got a guy at work whose conservative religious ways are always right, the rest of the world's view is hugely skewed (in his eyes).  he's one of these people that take the bible literally (I think they call 'em fundamentalists).  anyway, I like debating religion, but this seemed more "in my face" when he was sarcastically ranting about a national geographic special he saw on the TV about the "truths" of the big bang theory (he knows I'm one of those secular humanist atheistic evolutionist big bang 'gonna burn in the lake of fire' kinda guys).  come to find out, he doesn't believe in global warming, the Ice age (of which there were many), the existence of dinosaurs, nothing unless "it has been written"...I'm floored at this! I ask "what about the hard evidence of skeletal remains of the 100's of 1000's of dinosaurs that have been found?", to which he responds "God put them there, to try and 'throw us off' "  [WHAT?!].   most days, he uses the phrase "it is what it is" alot, so I ask him "what does 'it is what it is' mean (thinking he'd respond with a deep fundamentalist come back)?  he answers the question with the same phrase.   [I honestly forgot where I was going with this story...i need more coffee.  I guess I can end it by saying he thinks I'm 'shallow minded' for not thinking and believing that there's a God".  yeah, I'm shallow minded.  and real evidence of giant reptiles means they didn't exist...]

  so, Rosie and I take a long walk around the park yesterday, being nice weather, and all (while dropping off the rent check at the office, and checking the mail box). we're about to the house when a lady pulls up next to us in a car.  she asks me if I'm single, then goes on to tell me that she's Jays NIECE (an after comment correction) and if I wanna go out sometime, to give him a call for her number.  it was the weirdest drive by date invitation ever.

  the neighbor dude has an '05 Chrysler crossfire for sale...it's a cool car! I like its bat-mobile styling.  he wants 12k for it...
  

  looks like rainy weather for my weekend.  no worries, my front porch has a roof
