Just what it says…General
Over the past few lunches, I’ve watched Alexandra Pelosi’s HBO documentary, “Citizen U.S.A: A 50-State Road Trip” [website].
Check it out if you can – it’s a great film that documents Pelosi’s “travels across the U.S. to attend naturalization ceremonies in all 50 states and meets brand-new citizens to find out why they chose America as their home.”
I’ll admit – I did get choked up a few times… It made me feel thankful and proud to be an American and was a great reminder of how much we take for granted as native-born citizens:

…leaving the doctor’s office with them happy and pleased – especially after my “heart thing” a few years ago.
Don’t get me wrong, I really like my doctor; but not seeing her for a year will be nice.
The pressure is on to “keep up the great work.”
So, as Cosmo would say,
Kids today have so many more resources than we did years ago.

A little over a week ago, I linked a story about a man who has kept his arm raised for 38 years…check this out.
How far would you be willing to go if a person you trusted or put your faith in told you to do or not do something?
My car warranty ran out last month

They say things come in threes – I’m a bit nervous
We don’t generally see the guys around our place.
I happened to see this guy when I got home from work the other day:
I try to avoid “re-posts” – this will only be the 4th in my now 570-post blogging career.
I originally posted this back in 2009. It just seemed appropriate to re-post today…
I sit here typing this having just finished eating a nice meal, in my warm home, with a 2×4 sticking out of my eye partly blocking the view of both the keyboard and the monitor…
So Facebook changed its Live Feed / News Feed / Status Updates (whatever the “official” name is) display, which has led to much uproar by users.
Groups are being formed…petitions signed, …
I drive by their Palo Alto office on my way home and did not note any protesters today. Though, one never knows whose lurking!
Anyway, quite honestly, I really didn’t notice the change too much, nor was I really bothered. My measly (though appreciated and loved) ~190 friends offer very little “clutter” and I really do enjoy reading my friend’s posts…
What’s bugged more was the whining and ranting…
So, as a public service, I’d like to offer a forum for the very few people who frequent my blog to air their Facebook rants.
Please, feel free to view the photo below as you type your rant in the comments field below – probably having just finished a meal, now sitting in your warm home, etc…
C’mon folks!
Just sayin’!
