Idle Thoughts and Other Comments
Random ramblings from a curmudgeon spanning two millenia.
A couple weeks ago I posted some idle thoughts on the advantages of being a vampire. Not the least of these was eternal youth. But being the time of year it is I started thinking about what it would be like to take the form of some other un-natural creatures. I think I came up with one I would not want to be – a werewolf.

I used to like autumn but now its just the doorway to winter. However, there are still a lot of reasons to like October. Its the month when the travel shows specialize in haunted houses and the food shows do everything that can be done with pumpkins. I don’t cook or travel much so this is by far my best month for movies. The movie channels dig deep into their vaults and blow the spider webs off of the classic, scary, monster movies.

Well, another month, another mass shooting. And the politicians once again fall all over themselves telling the American sheeple that its all the fault of poor gun control. As if there’s a bunch of feral semi-automatics that have slipped their leash and are walking around by themselves needing to be rounded up by the humane society to be put to sleep. While the back pocket of the crazy person that the gun is hanging out of has nothing to do with it.
This may be an old saying but I’m going to keep saying this until someone hears it. Guns don’t kill people! Crazy people kill people! […]
