A Christian Nation....

To the fukwads that made a big deal about Haiti and it's Voudon population...look at Chile. A Christian nation. It wasn't the one with the non-Christian minority who's 1st reaction was to go Looting...

DANGER! Botaniphile drivel;>....

I have a new fav indoor plant. It's by a friend of mine, Dave Senk.Sorry Dale(her Sinn 'Dbl Dilly' had been my previous fav);>! It's shockingly an African Violet, 'Senk's Goin Star'. It's a semi-mini(which means it won't get any bigger than a desert plate)and has White star-shaped single blossoms with Chrome Yellow centers that bleed out toward the tips. The Wasp gene gives the lobes their points, making it a real star(instead the usual "star" which is simply a 5 lobed blossom, all lobes the same size...). It looks like the kind of stars a kid would draw;>.
Now, I haven't seen it perform yet in our Summers. Yellow African Violets are nortorious for fading in warm weather(to the point that they are often listed as "Yellow Promise" in catalogues...). Even if it becomes a White "sheriff" star in Summer, that's OK with me. 'Course, when our Fall Mite population comes in with the dog, I'll have to have it and all other Violets sealed in containers for a month or so, until 1st Frost. This native bug is the reason locally that African Violets are used as decorative plants like Blooming Tulips: to throw out when they start to decline....

Trials....

There are just days that try your Progressive tendencies. Today's one of those days. Ignoring Chuck's co-workers(which right now are exhibiting the worst stereotypical behavior of both White Trash and Black cultures...), I've my neighbors to the North of me. He Passed last yr. No big loss. Other than an income, the only thing he ever did was spend some time each day polishing his car. Ignoring his wife and their kids. Shes a sweetheart, but refuses to Beleive that Chuck and I are together...no matter how many times we've told her in the last 9 yrs. Gays are evil and she likes us so we can't BE Gay because she's a Good Christian(tm,pat-pending) and THAT'S THAT.
Here I am, with all my health problems helping clear her driveway entrance so she doesn't get hit because she can't see through the weeds and weedtrees. Her sons? They're in prison. Her daughter? A rare kind of Lesbian, she not only has no manual skills, she lives off gov't assistance by finding some guy to fuck her when she's in danger of losing her bennies. Her mom takes care of the kids. And we're the bad ones....
