The Random Thoughts Thread

A great calamity has befallen the Clan. One of our freezers died unexpectedly. In its death throes it took with it our supply of frozen blueberries, raspberries. strawberries, peaches, blackberries and shredded zucchini. Worse yet, our entire horde of rhubarb. The horror of the loss of pies yet made has cast a pall over the Clanhold. The gods have forsaken us...
 
Thou hast fallen into ruination! Quickly put together a sacrifice consisting of two bottles of Jameson and a box of fine cigars for the gods. Send them to me here in Oklahoma, and I shall make sure they properly receive it. Only then can blessings (and pies) be restored to Clan Haggis.
 
So, I'm a high school teacher, and Friday marks the beginning of Spring Break (hallelujah!). While doing the whole polite small talk before a faculty meeting, a co-worker asked what I was doing with my break. I told him I was going to wander aimlessly over Northeast Ga with my 2yo daughter, do a 4wd class at Uwharrie, and camp some while I'm over that way in NC.

He, a grown man, looked at me and said he'd never been camping before. I think he broke something in my brain. Can you imagine a childhood, teenage years, or adulthood without camping? I don't think I've ever been so happy for a faculty meeting to start.

Never been camping? Sheesh, that's how you become a cat person.

Haggis I feel for your loss. If it would help you to feel better you could come assist me in removing these pests from my yard and driveway:

Ok, maybe not the little guys. But the rest of them are eating everything I plant!
 
Yep, they had some clowns that were puking in the water hole with the only known population of pupfish, some jackass in a VW van driving around doing donuts on Race Track playa (home of the moving rocks) and now this.
 
Wanting desperately to go back in time and open a portal/worm hole from the Triassic epoch to their bathroom door so that after they've done their business and as they open the bathroom door into the rest of the house...BAM !!!!! Bit in half by a large Carnivorous Theropod. Grrr this pisses me off. Turn them into Coprolites....grrrr!

I hope none of you fellas have any business in Atlanta anytime soon. Traffic, which is already less desirable than a root canal with a DeWalt drill, is going to suck for a long time until they fix I-85, which just collapsed.

The wife just called to let me know about this since I'm flying into Atlanta and driving home tomorrow. With my work schedule increasing and making 8 to 10 flights a month out of Atlanta this is going to suck. Might be time to look at the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport....

Are you back in the states or using third world medical facilities?

I thought about how much that would suck for your work travel.
