Yes, we are still on earth--after a gap of several days of not doing a blog. The news of the world seems to be bigger than my little personal report to the cyberuniverse on my private doings, and with maybe 30 million other bloggers I probably got lost in the world population. With war, shootings, east coast floodings, midwest drought, Starr Jones' problems, Rush's viagra bust, North Korea's maybe rocket launch, the death of Frazier's Eddie, the agency financial scandal in Iowa, the Kidman wedding, the Hugh O'Brien wedding, the Pitt baby, the new NYTimes mess, and the World Cup, it has actually been a lively time on earth. Some day all of this news will be old and dusty (like reading old accounts of Ford's presidency) but some of it may end up having historical importance. Now, isn't that a really Deep Thought I just came up with. (prep at the end of a clause).
Coulter has not appeared on TV tonight (wow), but Scarborough had Sheehan on whining, and Bill O' was in rant mode tonight, and Colmes was also whining to Hannity, and I shut the TV off, and will probably go to snoozeland in a little while. I know all this does not make for a Hugh Hewitt-level blog, but that is what my current life is like, in this midsummer of '06. Private life is not moving at an exciting pace. Even the greatest creators in history must have had down days when they did nothing at all Deep (Plato supposedly died at a horse race).
After 2 weeks of not blogging, I seem to have not much to blog about, but I am curently out of the self-pity mood I was in a few weeks ago, so maybe I will have some cheerful stufff to offer all my fans and devotees the next time I come into their laptop screen world. Things will get better--or worse, considering the state of current international events. So, we will see you. Di di mau!

We Need Rain Real Soon
The ground around here is very dry and the rivers are getting low. Great that a warm summer is upon us, but we need rain. Not rain like we got in 92 and 93, but some wet stuff.
Daily life is improving a little since that last blog I printed about my June glooms, but but the local TV is full tonight of nothing but misery in the local region. There was a funeral for the first woman soldier from Iowa to get killed in Iraq, and she left a 9 year old kid behind. There were at least five car or truck crashes today along the interstate. A football player from ISU died of cancer at 24. A little girl in the metroplex has a rare brain stem tumor which will probably kill her in a few months. And after all that sad news PBS ran a bio of Cole Porter which told all about his life with broken legs and his sinking into depression before he died. And I discovered while shopping for groceries how high food prices are going, and it cost 38 bucks to fill my car tank. And I am having troubles with my landlady. And more small town factories in Iowa are closing, and the Wall Street Journal has an article about the millions of kids in America who are going hungry because their families cannot afford to buy food.
I need to get happy or at least less blue, after all that stuff, and am going to work at it. This will be all for right now, after this gloomy news rehash, and need to sleep on it. So you all wait for my next happy blogging. Di di mau!

At Last A New Blog Entry
After deleting at least 3 blogs I started over the last few weeks here is one I hope I will feel like finishing and sending out into cyberspace for my waiting fans and devotees, who have been wondering where I have been, I assume.
Yes, I know--it has been a frantic time on earth--with Zarqawi getting His, however he really got It, and lots and lots of politics being done, and today 3 guys in Gitmo killing themselves, and a hurricane in the Carib.. building up, and the Pitt baby arriving, and on and on, but I have been in a blue funk depression for 2 weeks or more, and my family is in a dysfunction, which I will spare you the details of (preposition at end of clause), and things are not going good partially in my little life, but hopefully things will get better.
After a hot summer week in the midwest, today it got cold and rainy and dreary again, right when a city outdoor winefest is going on, and tomorrow morning a bunch of aging hippies are planning to sit on the banks of our local river and chant to drive pollution away from the river. Lots of Oms and bamboo flute playing, and probably more news crews out than hippies. Should be interesting, if it actually takes place.
The World Cup Soccer finals are on now, and everyone in every other country is going wild over the things, but I can not get excited about them. My American redneckness has me counting down the days till August, when the NFL gets going again, and The Bears are back! Nothing wrong with everyone else on Earth getting deep into soccer, but American profootball is my sport. I was a great Nascar devotee for several years, but have kinda lost interest in it recently. I check out each week who won the race, but do not sit all Sunday afternoon watching the races like I did a few years ago.
Have spent much of tonight reading blogs about Zarqawi, and about the DailyKos leftwing bloggers convention in Vegas, and I need to get ready for a big project I need to take care of tomorrow but am stalling till the last minute. This sadness I am in has all but dried up much eagerness to be active at anything. What is the problem? I wish I knew. I seem to have some kind of emotional crisis right around early June every few years or so, and something not very nice always seems to happen.
Enough of that stuff. You all take care, and I will try to get back to blogging better as this month goes on, and what will happen will be faced in a manly way. Di di mau!
