In 1933, up near where the Kansas City Airport is, Bonnie and Clyde shot it out with some of the locals. Place got burned down. I never knew that they got farther north than Joplin.
Heck, Missouri is all gaga over Jesse James, Clay County even has gone so far as to make his family farm a tourist destination. Jesse James Farm Home
So I'm surprised some entrepreneur has not found some way to make money off of the Bonnie and Clyde phenomenon.

Man, what's he smoking.
I guess Pres. Bush must have taken up the bottle again. Look at what he says about Iraq:
"I think (Iraq is) going well. It breaks my heart whenever anybody dies, but we liberated 25 million people who were living under a dictator. It puts us on the side of democracy in the Arab world. Twenty years from now, we'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who says it wasn't worth the effort. This is not just another democracy. This is a democracy in an Arab world ..."
Oh, maybe its not Bush after all. Follow the link to see who has such weird fantasies.

The Geeselets are ready to leave
I moved into my new house on April 16. I started driving to the plant where I work in south central Kansas City via Blue River Parkway. Along the way there are several lakes that are in the Blue River flood plain. As you may imagine, these lakes attract Canada Geese. Lots of them. Before you read on you may want to check out this website:
Coalition to Prevent the Destruction of Canada Geese: FAQs
Man, I didn't know that about Geese. Anyway, sorry for the disruption. As I was driving into work in late April, I saw a pair of geese walking through the grass next to one of the lakes. It seemed like someone had dumped a can of fuzzy oversized tennis balls beside them. I thought it was some kind of exotic hog weed and paid it no mind.
Until the next time, when I drove by the lake, the fuzzballs had gotten larger. And they were in different places than the time before. It dawned on me that they were little geese; geeselets (I know, they're called goslings).
As I have driven to work this Spring, the little fuzzballs have gotten larger and larger. Like small, hirsute beachballs.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the goslings looked just like miniature versions of Mom and Dad, who are still hanging around.
I expect that sometime soon, if they haven't already, the geese will fly off. Good luck little fuzzballs.

Poor Jimmy Carter
Man, its got to hurt to be sitting there in Church and have the former Prime Minister of England say of President Reagan,
"He sought to mend America's wounded spirit, to restore the strength of the free world, and to free the slaves of communism. These were causes hard to accomplish and heavy with risk. "
Especially, when you were the guy who wounded the spirit to begin with.
