You Can't Fix Stupid!




        Hello readers!   I know for a fact you are out there and for that I thank you all!   Many times I am not sure why you are out there, but choose to not dwell on that fact.  My blog post yesterday about my joys of working at Lupe's has now had 100+ views.  And some fine person in Internet land put my thoughts into a Craig's List "job" ad  listing the compensation as NONE and warning people not to eat or work at the restaurant.  This was seen by one of the Tucson TV news stations, mainly because Lupe's has it's first, non worker paying store, in Tucson.  And they might be doing a news interview with me!  Maybe all of this is why it is almost midnight and I can not sleep!   Because I truly have a face made for radio!    Or maybe because in mere hours, the kiddos all return to school after a very long spring break.  Or because I do the last of my new job paper work tomorrow.   



Or maybe it is because my beautiful wife and I just recently had our two year wedding anniversary and have yet to sneak out on a dinner date.  
We have been waiting for the kids to go back to school, and than
will go some were during lunch.  
Some were good. 
Some were that my wife chooses. 



    Also a possibility is because the relatives are acting up again.  I swear crazy travels in packs!   I will not go into today's episode --but will say that even though it happened hours ago, I am still beyond angered.  Mostly angered that this crap is never going to end.  Who is so desperate, has such an existence of no life, that they have to create so much havoc and childish games in other peoples lives so that they have something new to talk about over there 40th beer of the day?   The best part is, these "people" are relatives  AND if they see any negatives about themselves posted in my blogs, they call un fair!   And try to peg me as a cyber bully.   Here's an easy solution   stop being b*tches and I will not have anything unflattering to write about.  At least about them.  :)  



Not a relative  evil or other wise
BUT it does say that he is my grandpa on Facebook.



      Please take the time to check out my third and newest blog series.  Where we Explore the wonders of Arizona  one picture at a time.   My last post was about Lupe's   so more than a little bit negative.  But the other posts are every increasing and a great read if I do say so myself!  http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/


                                               The London Bridge  is now in Arizona



Car wash!!


Good boy!



Stupid line
Great move!

And yes tomorrow is Monday
Which always gives me a case of the Needs coffees









Do it yourself hands free device









Again for those of you not living in Arizona!

I grew up in Wyoming, 
so did my time




And now   your moment of Zen...

Post # 435





               Today after lots of coffee, finds me on a mini road trip.  After coffee of course--unless I stop for coffee on the way!  A fine gentleman down the road saw our postings about the book club--and is donating ten boxes worth of books.   This is beyond great, but he had no way to get them to us.   I am always up for new Exploring and am going to try and get a nice hike in before grabbing the books.  Of course there will be pictures--and all of this should end up in my next Exploring blog page, unless it is beyond boring. 

 
         I do not think people realize the size of these bookcases -that were also donated to us for the project.  They are beyond huge--and it was not fun bringing them back from Sierra Vista at all.  There is also a small-ish magazine rack that we are using for music books.   I am very sure that pieces of it, did not make it all the way to our house.  In face several pieces jumped out of the truck on the very large speed bump coming into the boarder patrol check station, while leaving SV.   I was waiting for them to make me jump out and grab the parts.   But the workers were to busy staring at the huge cases, waiting for them to fall out, as I was.  
 
 
 
Have I mentioned lately how addicting coffee really is?
Or just how good it is!
 
 
 
 
Today's picture of the day comes from the heart of Benson, Arizona.
This classic motel has been around for a long time. 
And has seen this town through some changes!
It also offers some great photos. 
I have posted about this place before -and how fun it is to Explore. 
 
 
Polo??!
 
 
I do not enjoy being hugged by anyone -partically
Even someone I really love.
My wife's family is REALLY into hugs. 
Probably more so when they realized how much I hate them.
The hugs-that is -not necessarily the family members.
And I do believe a 19 minute hug would push me over the edge into
the "dark side" as in Darth Vader evil.
But if it is any comfort the dark side has cookies!
 
 
                 We buy and sell things all of the time to help make ends meet with our bills.   Yes--  we do pay all of the bills, on occasion.   I recall times when I would put all of the bills in a hat, draw out two--and they were the lucky two companies that got paid that month!   But at the moment we are very blessed, and even have some extra cash laying around the house.   Funny how right after getting the leach on society relatives to move away from us, we had cash for us again.   Anyways I have recently found some great buy and sell pages on Facebook.  And at the moment they are a better resource than Craig's List.  Less crap-more selling. 
    That said--while attempting to help another couple pay there bills, we got scammed on one of the local sights.  Annoying--but we can take care of those issues.   More annoying was how the local sights administration dealt with my complaints.   This sight, it seems has 800 rules--but few of them have anything to do with getting scammed.  They condemn swearing and drama and bad mouthing kittens, and 797 other petty things--so much so that you can quickly find yourself banned from the sight.  But they really can not do anything if you get cheated.   Shouldn't that be the top priority and rules for a sight that is just about buying and selling things??  I certainly thought so, and argued the point so much--that I am no longer a member of the buy/sell group.   Having 888 rules, just to have rules seems pointless and very government like to me.   Any time one did something, close to breaking a rule, that set of rules was sent to your message box, and posted online  for all to see.  This of course presented a challenge for me, break more idiotic rules--faster.   But I believe accepting challenges was breaking a rule also.   Thinking for yourself, was also breaking a rule.   Just like with big government!    I am in many other buy/sell type groups, and none of them run there pages anything like this one.   But Sierra Vista people defiantly have there own way of doing things it seems.   Not that there is anything wrong with that --usually.  ;)   I think I will send the above to the administration.   I have there e-mail after some great chats-were I was mostly wrong.  I am sure, even banned from the group, there is some rule about doing this also!
               
 
 
            I am going to keep today's post short, because I need to get on the road.   I hope today finds you all adventure and good fortune!    And as always   HAPPY TRAILS!!
