useful objects

camping the other weekend revived many things for me.  One is a higher appreciation for clean water and another is being prepared with the right equipment.

I am composing a list of simple useful objects one may value in the right places:

bathroom
an oral B Pulse battery operated toothrush- battery is practically eternal (this object can also be used for something else =p)
a tongue scraper- a tooth brush and mouth rinse will not remove the H2S on ur tongue
h2o2- antiseptic first aid and oral debrider

in the bedroom/at a party
me+ bottle of sweet n sour mix and some whip cream

backpack/purse
alcohol pads- USEFUL!! keep handy
wet wipes
G2 shorty pen and notepad
spare cell battery- dont depend on ur charger

in the car
photon hands free headlamp-useful ***
200w power inverter

Every day can be a celebration

one can find 5 mins of pleasure from even the most ordinary
I often enjoy the amusement of taking a number 2 on company time.  the fact that my efforts are being productive elsewhere, be it in the bathroom, makes even the most basic activity pleasurable.  other simple pleasures:

Finding a cold bottlle of clean H20 after you have run out of drinkable water
the sound of tranquil raindrops on a roof/tenttop to lull you to sleep
the sight of an aquamarine, waterfall-powered whirlpool
a warm cup of tea
a shower of softened water from a gooseneck showerhead 
(aside from the obvious commonallity these were all experienced this past weeked)

Smallville is like me; an unrelenting endeavor of vigor, climax and deceit

Wow! the four main characters of Smallville ( i'm sorry Cloe is cute and all, but she is not one of the power players) really have an interesting game going on.  It's alot like a game of chess with a king and his rook, a knight a queen, many more moves and hundreds of pawns.

"get bent tax man!!"-Stranger than fiction

Who else agrees that a girlfriend should count as a tax deductible?  There should be a better classifier on the definition of "dependent" if you ask me.  My wallet would definitely classify girlfriend under the "dependent" category. 

Who else feels inflation tugging on their piggy banks?
70 years ago, a tractor-trailer driver could transverse the U.S. with $11.34 of gas.

My girlfriend is like a golden retriever.... she is playful, friendly and she sheds all over your place.

martyr vs. public enemy #1?

Undoubtedly, the Vtech slaying is a prime topic of the nation.  one person has chosen to terminate the lives of many people and consequentially affected the lives of many more.

If he wanted to be heard, he definitely got the attenction that he wanted. The price was high, but he accepted it.  we all have issues, but how we handle such may differ and depend on many factors.  In this is a case one person forced his issues upon many other people.  he may have fired 9mm and .22 ammunition, but the damage he inflicted resembled that of a bomb; indiscriminately dispersing its lethal shrapnel. He may not have known the families of the victims, but he managed to destroy their lives as well.
each trigger pull of a semi auto pistol releases a single round that can have many consequences.  A dangerous  shooter may not treat every round with such respect, but such a condition may be fixed. So how do you deal with a dangerous person?  and to what level? (society, home, school/workplace)
We are afflicted with an inability to resolve issues and conflicts.  Until we can be more capable human beings, I fear that we will continue to resolve many of the conflicts that we have through deplorable means. we have a universal issue to resolve, but can we act more intellectually and with more strength than an army can provide against it?  Or would it just be a futile effort against a natural force of population control?
but before that enduring issue can be addressed we have to deal with the problem of insecurity at our institutions.  people are becoming increasing aware of the inherent vulnerability of our schools.  many solutions will be presented by many intelligent people and it will most definitely require significant time and effort to resolve.
