What One Does When There's Nothing To Do.......




Being that rain fell in Goodyear, Arizona yesterday (No kidding), canceling the Indians' spring training game, I grabbed a camera and headed for places unknown, on another gray day in northeast Ohio.  
29 miles and 1056 feet later, I came upon, "The Bomb Shelter." (No kidding again)
Being such a shy guy, I poked my head into the office and asked permission to shoot some photos.  When I said that I don't charge a cent, Kevin's face morphed into what resembled the beaming Strip, in Vegas!  Seriously, he welcomed the request and said others have done the same.  Off I browsed and I welcome you to share that visit by clicking the site below.  Once there, you can enlarge any photo by placing the cursor on it and clicking.

By the way, Kevin and gang were the nicest!!!

Saved from wallowing in boredome!

ET TU, Walmart?

Hmmm.  Walmart ditches American jobs for overseas labor where employees/slaves are locked in for lousy pay and conditions.  Walmart forces small businesses OUT of business to minimize paperwork and deal with only large suppliers.  Shortcuts are taken in food that jeopardize the health of millions.  Many other yet undiscovered ways of increasing the Walmart family fortunes at the suffering of others continue, yet they immediately judge Paula Deen for a not so nice incident, yet super minor when compared to the deeds of Walmart.  Same for all the retailers who immediately cut ties while they continue to lie, cheat and steal until they themselves get caught and then proclaim innocence.  Is ANYONE watching what is happening in this once proud country???

It was nice to no longer see the GEICO, (Originally Government Employees Insurance Company), hairy pig commercial shown in a convertible with a young lady with aspirations of "getting together," thereby condoning beastiality.  Thanks to all who contributed to its demise!
No sooner is that commercial gone, then BINGO!  I've just seen the same pig, (appropriately used), on a jet ski watercraft with another young lady who ditched her boyfriend for the repugnant oinker.  

What person comes up with these commercials for all to see, including children who are nowhere near driving eligibility?  Worse is the total non-caring attitude at GEICO for allowing the commercial to be made, then aired?   The commercials easily undermine the thinking of our young, impressionable children in addition to sickening the adults.  I'm certainly happy to know MY insurance company is tons more mature by not promoting sex with animals.  

I strongly urge all Americans to contact GEICO and boycott the product until they show some sense of responsibility.  Kindly forward the message to influential media, such as your local TV stations, newpapers and the likes of Oprah Winfrey.

Time to get REALLY P-----D OFF!!!



The marketing/advertising "specialists" are always busy trying to induce the public into buying their products.  One method is called subliminal advertising.  If you've been on this planet long enough, you'll recall the quick flash of a soft drink and pop corn on the drive-in movie or local bijou theater screen, causing you to waltz to the lobby, not really knowing why...just that you had to have refreshments at that moment.  Those methods continue.  I see specific items being subliminally presented on a constant basis, but those can be addressed at another time.
Other ads truly upset me because they seem to think so little of our intelligence.  One example is the blue bear family whom we now see in the bathroom, with a specific brand of toilet paper.  My astonishment is not only with the designer of the ads, but I wonder what is in the minds of those who authorize payment and distribution of those commercials.

And...now, the BOMB!  For nearly a week, I've been shocked at watching the GEICO Insurance Company literally inferring and condoning beastiality.   You see a hairy pig with a young lady, who doesn't even seem to be 18 years old, seated in the front seat of a disabled car.  Mr. hairy pig holds a phone, stating that a tow truck will be there in 30 minutes.  Miss young lady(?) has a look of disappointment on her face and utters a question seemingly about not being able to "make out" instead.

This has already been copied to my local newspaper, The Cleveland Plain Dealer.  

I implore you to do the same in YOUR locale.

If you want your children to be continually subjected to these kinds of ads, you may choose to delete this, then wonder years hence, "What happened?"
