Tomorrow We Welcome July

        **"Coffee is that place where the sun comes up over the horizon and lights the heavens in a burst of vibrant colors."**----Even if you live in Oregon or Washington!

      I am not sure how it is posiable but in mere hours we turn the calander to the July pages.  For betterer or for worse, this year is flying by.   Add working graveyards in a casino --were it is purpously  ill lighted, so one never really knows what time it is, and most of the time I have no concept of time or what day it is if I am at work or at home.  Another thing that does not seem possiable is that our oldest kiddo is not a kiddo anymore.  He is turning 14 in a few daze.  Speaking of people that are not kiddos anymore--I also might have a birthday this month.  Although I can not be to old, because cashiers and bartenders still card me when I buy booze.  It just happened today in fact.   After working almost nine hours on my day off work, I thought maybe I needed an adult beverage or five.  ;)      On this same note, somewhat I noticed just out of town on I-10 there is a big billboard about how expensive drunk driving can easily become.  This important billboard is sandwiched between not one, not two, but four---ads for beer.  I am not sure were my point is in telling this, but I find it amusing.  You might not, but please note--I grew up in Wyoming and am very easily amused. 

                                                      **"Sleep is over rated."**

  **If one is stuck in a parking lot---what I call not moving while on the interstate due to huge congestion----is it still considered driving and text or calling??**---Just curious. 

    **320 daze out of the year--I wear this badge with pride! The rest of the year-My wife gets the badge. Just like today---I must say she wears it well. **---Just sayin'   This badge I made myself  now Wally Worlds seem to lock up the materials to make your own name badges.  In any case  this hangs proudly on our fridge. 

    Our kiddos had a great time at the zoo and all I got was to touch an elephants butt! Do I look like a tourist?? Many more pictures from the Tucson zoo to be posted.   I will have to dig to find the pictures, but I have several pictures of my touching random things  and seeming to really enjoy it.   One was the feet on the large statue in front of the Hoover Dam.   Another is some fake boobs on a casino wall in Viva Las Vegas!

   Lots of updates coming to this page!   Including our whole family's recent journey to the Tucson zoo.  A great day indeed.  Despite the messed up date stamps on the pictures, this was last Monday.

                                     Sign I found while Exploring Billings MT one fine night.

                                                                    Umm   OK....

 

In case you have not gotten the memo--I am NOT in favor of ANY gun control.

 

 

     **"We just felt the tremors from a small earth quake. I didn't think they had those in Arizona."**----Two nights ago at about 10 PM our house began to shake.  I was trying to blame the movement on the near by rail road tracks.  Sometimes if you are sitting on our potty when a train goes past, the potty sways, but this movement seemed like much more.  We got online and found that 50 miles east in New Mexico a 5.2 earthquake had hit.  Soon after I had to drive to work.  I was half expecting to drive into a sinkhole on the way to work.  I still have found no reports of damage---but this is a very rare event.  And my first quake for sure.  Pretty crazy!

    On a similar note.   For years my wife has talked about how on the night our oldest was conseived, she felt an earthquake.  I must note here, I was not involved in this night at all---her ex husband is rather large, and they were in a motel in Arizona at this time.  I and everyone involved of this conversation, had never heard of an earthquake in Arizona, and we always counted up the earth movement to how large her ex husband was, and to what they were doing in that motel room at the time.  After almost nine years of giving my wife crap about this---we experienced this earthquake, and as usual she was right all along.  

 

 

Last for tonight---but not least     I bring back my picture of the day feature!

I try to use this more and I try to use current pictures   but this one caught my eye tonight.

This is during the huge rodeo parade in Sheridan Wyoming.

The sign in the background seems to go perfect with this float  somehow. 

But what do I know??

 

Coffee Should Make Itself.com!

      Good morning all!   If you have ever read this blog page before or dropped by MY Facebook page to visit and or complain   Exploring with Wyoming Jack/Bobble Head
you might have noticed that I mention coffee a little bit.  OK maybe a lot!   But with three kiddos bounding around the house, the coffee almost allows me to keep up with them.  We are once again in the market for a new coffee maker for our home.  The local coffee joints stink -and I am increasingly realizing how hard it is to make that first pot of coffee, when you are not even close to awake.  Automatic pots are grand, you can set everything before bed, when you are mostly still awake.  But the pot we are using right now is not automatic anything, except maybe emptying--once I roll out of bed and figure out how to turn it on of course.  It is an 1812 model for sure.  Not the serial or product numbers, but the year it rolled down the production line in some factory followed closely by a brand spankin' new Model T Ford!  It has to be somewhat old because it does not have an automatic timer to turn off the power during the day when it's owners forget.  That said I am sipping coffee in Tucson this bright morning.  Watching the news about how bad the traffic out there is today.  But what do I care?  By the time I am done with coffee and typing this blog the main rush of traffic will be at work. 

 

 

 

     My blog pages have lots of coffee love   for more---check out the above link to MY Facebook page.  There is an entire album on the page of coffee pictures.   Plus this is the best sight to comment or vent about anything I post, and the first sight I update each day.   Check it out!

 

**"The police never think you are as funny as you do."**

 

 

Wait!   That's not what is stands for??

 

 

 

 

 

I believe the above is in the visitor guide for all of Washington and Oregon!

 

Here in Arizona rain is a welcome event and rare .  Here we also went straight from "winter" to full on summer. 

Not the case in lots of the country  sadly still stuck in winter.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                         Don't do it  NOT even Once! 

 

Yup!

 

 

 

If I had a yard, I would want this sign!

 

 

 

 

                                                                    Or this one!  ;)

Happy Tuesday, Y'all!

     A big hello and welcome to all of my readers.  From those that follow my blogs, to those that needed a rest from looking at dirty pictures on the Internet.  I value all of the views to this page!  Today, as the title implies, just happens to be Tuesday.  Just like the day, nothing overly speciel here--just lots of random rambling!  And thankful-ness that it is not Monday.  First I start with some deep quotes:

             **"I am just one step away from being rich, Now all I need is money."**

       **"I am taking the kids to the zoo today, in hopes they can find there birth parents."**

  People keep holding up signs on Facebook like the one above--except they ask for 1 million likes, and there parents will give them something really grand.  Instead of the lecture and maybe butt swats they should get for begging for stuff on the Internet.  What do you think of the above picture as a much better alternative, and life lesson?  Parenting is beyond hard, and I think every great to good parent should have a cape!

                                              **"Rhinos are just fat unicorns!"**

                                           **I am in shape---round is a shape!"**

                     **I won't be impressed with technology, until I can download food.**

**"The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."**

**"Sometimes the first step to forgiveness is Understanding the other person is a complete idiot."**----We have been having some major troubles with our neighbor through the last few weeks.  It all started as a mission to help her son, a child that is doomed if he stays in his home.  Because among other things his mother is not even an adult yet, so not even close to being a mother.  Not because she is young, she is in her 40's, she has just killed a lot of brain cells--is a nice way of putting it.  Things are even more sensitive for us, because she lives four doors down from us, and is a very vengeful person.  

Do you recall when the M in MTV still stood for music and not Moron??

      We are again having issues with our Tweaker neighbor, and the other day she told me "you reap what you sew." So I asked her what she reaped from cheating the state, slashing people's car tires, and stealing. NO answer yet. ;)


    Our family really enjoys using the sight--Craig's List.   We sell items on it all of the time.  And find free items for our house constantly.   We even bought our car off of the sight.   Some times it also offers a good laugh or two--from random posts.  This one was on the local page....

1. Free bike. I don't know much about it. It's red. Yes, I do know my colors. So you're getting a free bike from someone that knows colors. How cool is that? It's ten-speedish? It has gears? I think it works but needs a little lovin'. If you want it, just come pick it up. It says it's a Miyata. It didn't tell me that, in words. I mean, it didn't speak to me. I read it on the side of the bike. If you want it, first come first serve.

   
   

   

     It is a great sight--you just have to really look at the ads.  Some times when you look under the car hood--there is no actual engine, just a picture of one in crayon.  The above one looks legit though--for sure!

   
   

   

   
   

   With tax time coming up once again--

   Here is some advice on how not to file!

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   At least in our neck of the woods, the above is the forecast for a long while. 

   Lots of time to roam through past blog posts. I have 350 + on this great sight now.

   And the older ones were certainly betterer.

   Enjoy!

   
   

   
   

   This tweet also seems legit.....

   

   
   

   Below is a picture I had stored---not mine

   But fits with the above tweet perfectly!!

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

      Two weekends ago we went to the local new dollar store that had just opened up that day.  There was only one in town, and it was always beyond busy.  My only problem with dollar stores is the ones were the items are all over one $!   If you have to do a price check in a dollar store, there is something wrong!   Anyways this was the first day this store was open, and very few shoppers were in the store.  So the isles were as close to perfect as they will ever be.  Everything fully stocked, and in perfect lines.  Looking great and the dream of all of my department managers while working at Wally World.  And I had this huge urge to extend both of my arms and run down the isles, knocking things on the ground.  And probably giggling loudly.  I did resist this urge, but dang it would have been fun.  

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   Next post I have some complaints about Subway, who is in hot water right now. 

   And one about "gun control"      Tons of ideas and rambling in the works.   Please pass on the links if you enjoy what you see.
