QUICK STAT:

Looks like there is only one player in the LPGA.

THINGS I WISHED I SAID. . .

In the War on Christmas, there were no winners because for all but the most retarded members of our society, there was nothing whatsoever at stake.

In considering the vast history of Christianity and the dire trials its adherents faced in the past (and still do in far-flung places on the globe), it's a little hard to feel for people whose freely-practicable faith is rocked to its firmament because the shopgirl at Restoration Hardware doesn't break into a spontaneous chorus of "O Holy Night" at the completion of every tendered transaction.

ARE THEY NUTS. . . OR IS IT JUST ME

I had a doctors appointment today. It's my annual check up. I have some problems with my lower legs and the blood circulation. So my doc wrote up a prescription for two pair of socks. Yes I said socks. Knee high support socks to be exact.

It's the first time in my life I had a prescription for socks. Hell I thought I could just go to Costco and buy 24 pair but no I needed a prescription to get these hi mucky-mucky socks.

Well I went to the Medical Supply place that was near by to pick up a pair of these new socks. As I walked in the place a sales person came running (I don't think that's a good sign.) Anyway, she took my prescription and went to here desk. She asked me if I had medical insurance. I said yes, KPS. She said how about Social Security. I said yes Part A. She said maybe we can see if they will pay for this.

At first I didn't get it, I'm buying a pair of socks for god's sakes. Then she told me the cost. These two pair of socks would cost, drum roll please . . . $65.00 plus tax. That's $65.00. I said BULLSHIT (well no I didn't but I wanted to).

I told the gal I'm not paying that much money and I don't care if Social Security picks up the whole thing they aren't either. You go Mick!!! You show them.

So I left and went across the street to another place. I told the gal there my problem and she was sympathetic but she said they don't carry socks. Bummer. She also said that place tends to be more expensive. But she gave me another place up the street that might help me.

I went to the third place and could get the socks for $60.00. I said I'd think about it.

So here I am home without my socks. Tonight I'm going out on the WEB and do a little research and see if I can get them for at least half the price. I wonder if I can get them from Canada? Would the CDC, USGA, FCC, NRA, RNC, NCAA, LBJ, TWA, IBM or UCLA come after my sore ass and take me away.

Time will tell.

WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING

Judge tosses Letterman restraining order. . .

Woman had claimed host caused her 'mental harassment'

SANTA FE, New Mexico. A state judge has lifted a restraining order granted to a Santa Fe woman who accused talk-show host David Letterman of using coded words to show that he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host.

I still don't get this judge. This woman is clearly unstable and should be committed. Far as that goes so should he. (da Judge)

See my post on 12/24/5 for more info.

I HEAR THAT TRAIN A COMING. . .

WORKS FOR ME!!!

While on a ski trip in Wyoming, I encountered a husband and wife on the slopes who asked me if I would take a picture of them. I said I would be happy to, and I did. Then I asked if they wouldn't mind taking a picture of me.

"Oh...sorry," the man answered, "but we only have two pictures left, and we wanted to take some pictures of the lodge."
