I got to tell you something people...forgive me for saying so...but normally...on a normal day with the wonderful people on Facebook gathering together.., here ...on a Internet site for social media... Even though it's so damn hot outside…it reminds me, of how...this is just a demonstration of the unbounded optimism and an example of the eternal spirit of the people we know... you know our friends ...our friends, thats something special...in other words...that's a lot of people... paying a lot ...for their broadband bill...& Internet service... Making AT&T and Comcast very rich... And Us...kind of cranky ...You know, I also…just happened to be looking in my hippie dippy almanac ...You know the latest version, you still get it in the mail, right?... Well, it assured me that this night... this exact night...is the pinnacle of this summers most greatest day of 2014...Yes, The best night ...& the absolute greatest day...standing right in front of you... & ...you're here & I'm here... . So let's take advantage of it ....Lets crank up the tunes…We may be broke...but we still got music in us… you got your iPod...you got, your headphones ...come on..You could always save your money...but when you get a day like this... You deserve to be rocking ...So turn on the A/C...don't be cheap... put the air conditioning ...way up hIgh...turn up the tunes... like you ...like, them...whatever song you may enjoy... Do it anywhere.. But probably where you live...you're living ...Right? ...be it in your house ...on the Sofa ...or in that trailer ...or in the back of your meth lab... Or under that overpass ...that you're temporarily taking refuge in... Oh...who cares... it's home... right?... So go get some ice cream...I like Heath Bar crunch...or ...go to that the little wooden box... that is in the back of your bureau... that you may keep your little indiscretions in ...you know that, Heeba Jeeba...you know that fine stuff ...you keep for special occasions ...Go ahead... You have enough to make one big fat...fatty... Light it up…Smoke it up ...you know... The stuff with the good aroma... I guess?... I wouldn't know about that ...or maybe open a bottle wine...I prefer a Slurpie or a milkshake, myself... on a hot day... But go ahead... You're all by yourself...and if your throat gets a little dry… Maybe you go to the liquor cabinet...and find a little something to drink... And if you can't find anything really good...maybe you go upstairs... to the bathroom and...you get some of that Listerine...Maybe that'll work for you...you know...you add...a little lime & a little salt.. & and you say what the hell ...I'll give this a try... And, you say this is...not bad… But the next time...you thinking to yourself ...next time ...the next time ...I do this...I'm a getting the real stuff... Because you never know… you just may soon be dead from drinking this crap...so you want the real good stuff, next time... Thing is you can't remember what they call that stuff ... You know it's made from cactuses or prickly pears...Or some kind of potatoes… And then...you think...yeah I drank that when I was in college... what the hell was that called again... and then ...and then ...You're racking your brain... scratching your head... and then it comes to you ...you know the good stuff ...what it's called… Oh... Yeah...."the Cuervo Gold...the fine Colombian"..."makes tonight...a wonderful thing"… that's a Steely Dan reference… Just writing... messing around. ;o)

Spoiler Alert: In this video...Just when you think the stupid monkey (me)... is the one making the video & mowing the lawn...You find out it's the Big Ape...all along...See that's called...a "plot twist"....See what I did there...Uh Huh!...If you waste only one minute this Summer... Waste it on this...;o)

Woke up screaming...

                         I woke up screaming again last night…I had another nightmare,

                        where, I had a loss of vision… basically I was blind…Since I have had Lasik with you, Doctor ?… that's how things have been. In June of 1999 you changed my life. Everyday now, I struggle w/ my vision because your out patient surgery, left me, with my corneas melted. "Ectasia"...that's what it's called…but you never knew what was wrong with my eyes, after the procedure. You said, everything was fine….”Give it time”, you said…Hmmm!…But, I had horrible vision, dry eye, starbursts, contrast sensitivity, floaters… and a list to long for you to bother with, I guess… I have had 15 years of dealing with this and every morning I wake up, I can't believe my eyes, what I see is so horrible, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Now glasses won't work for me, b/cuz of the cornea melt & I have paid a small fortune to find scleral lens' that will help my eye problems. Unbelievable, what some get away with when they put the title of Dr. in front of their name. 

    

                             About a year ago someone contacted me, because they had been a patient of yours, and as he put it…"ruined my eyes”… Yes, my wife posted on Yelp, what a horrible experience we had with YOU and a gentleman saw the review… and replied to ME…b/cuz of his problems…And, now 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma…It doesn’t shock me though…after all the eye issues, your inferior skill & care leaves people with… Just know after all these years, of never acknowledging or being concerned with people you have hurt… that we are still out here. You have changed our lives. We hurt everyday, and for me…You put a loaded gun to My head…Sometimes, I just wish you would have pulled the trigger…15 years ago.

Hike On A Bike

Just an Observation: when cycling the Canal Trail...The same people with their head down on the walking/bike trail...not paying attention...are the same people that are talking or looking at their phone...& yes, they are the same folks who don't know their right from their left...Or are just oblivious...when you call out a trail signal...Continuing that rant...they obviously are the same people whose kids are not paying attention...who are just learning "their right from their left"  from these parents...Who are actually the same adults..,walking their dog...with their leash extended across the whole trail...who make it impossible to pass to their left (which they can't figure out)...& Whose dog crap...you're trying to avoid...because it's seems they are still oblivious  to what little "Scooter"... just left on the trail..,or won't pick up said dog sh*t
...because they forgot the mutt mitt...to pick up the poop, since they are too busy teaching  their kids...what is their right & left hand...then reminding them not to touch that dog Doo....With either hand...that their pup just deposited in the pathway...that I'm trying to avoid...so I don't hit them or their kids while riding my bike...on this happy little trail...OMG... What a bunch of crap…Ahh...but, that did feel good...and I'm so grateful for each day out here ...healthy, in the fresh air...& to be part of all of this ... Happy Trails
