Random Musings (and associated non sequiturs) v. 3.0

Some people have issues with CPAP machines, their stomachs get a bunch of air in them. I appear to be one of those people.This is not a fun thing. I may become San Pelligrino fan in the mornings.

I wonder how much crap I would get if I had a bumper sticker that read ā€œDog is my co-pilotā€.

I wouldnā€™t take my kids to see Jurassic World at ages 4 and 7, but theyā€™re playing through the Lego Jurassic World they bought yesterday with their own money (albeit via my card on my Steam account) and itā€™s basically a better story anyway.

WTF

It turns out that I will probably be moving to San Bernadino County, rather than Riverside County. Both counties go all the way to the eastern border of the state.

The county seats are almost on the western edge of the counties, and less than 15 miles apart.

The county has only one office where I can get Missyā€™s license done. Itā€™s in San Bernadino. San Bernadine is a minimum of 75 miles from where I will be living.

Where in San Bernardino County? Itā€™s a big place. Largest county in the US. Three times the size of the entire state of Rhode Island.

Whenever I watch Guardians of the Galaxy now and it gets to the part of the movie where Star-Lord is calling Nova Corps for help, all I can think of is how embarassed John C. Reilly looks when heā€™s forced to say ā€œa-holesā€ instead of the full profanity. Itā€™s like he realizes heā€™s in a Disney movie and they seem to have hit their limit of swear words they can put in.

I thought Riverside was the largest?

Morongo Valley. Looks nice and quiet, and inexpensive. And the place I am looking at is a little outside of town.

Is she learning to drive?

Nope. Riverside County is small compared to San Bernardino. Look at the map. :smile:

@ClockWorkXon, I have a friend who lives in Yucca Valley. Youā€™re in for some hot summers.

Iā€™m not worried about it. Iā€™ve lived in that area before, and I found the summers quite enjoyable.

It does help if you sleep through the hottest part of the day.

Funny, I mustā€™ve got 'em switched in my mind.

Do the ā€œbadā€ Whoppers make the rest of them better?

Why do we as a people put up with that one Whopper that tastes more like a carmel? We can go to the moon, but we canā€™t successfully sort Milk Duds and Whoppers?

Is it the thrill of gambling that the last one in the box isnā€™t a bad one?

We havenā€™t been back to the moon in over 40 years though.

In other news, after two weeks on the CPAP, which is making life enjoyable in ways I had forgotten, my subconscious has learned to only take the mask off, but to hang it up and turn the machine off in my sleep.

Itā€™s so true. My brother runs cubs out here and, yeah, it takes a village to get that running. From what Iā€™ve seen, there are parents that get involved, and others that dump off their children on volunteers for some free time every week.

My wife and I are going to run a Girl Scout troop, or herd, or whatever you call the equivalent of a den.

Our experience last year was so bad that we felt it was the only way to make sure she got what we wanted her to get out of it.

Most of our parents stay for the meetings, especially below Webelos. Some get really into it, others just hang back & watch.

Our committee & den leaders are amazing. Our Cubmaster especially - heā€™s the entire reason dakson joined. The pack was 15 kids 4 years ago when he (the Cubmaster) joined with his oldest and weā€™re going to be over 60 this year. Heā€™s quick to point out that his youngest will be a Tiger next year, which means heā€™ll be with the pack for a long time and he loves the job.
