On Staying in the Fortress

Saying for the day-The world is a stange and scarey place.

I’ve been doing a little reading and it has convinced me I should stay in the Fortress as the world is just too strange a place to venture out in.
Here are a few of the things I discovered.

The California's Golden State Fence Co. must have rejoiced when the government decided to do something about illegal aliens.
It put in a bid and received a contract to build part of the United States' immigrant-impeding barrier on the Mexican border.
Illegal immigrants were money in the bank for them.
That was until December when the government hit them with fines totaling nearly $5 million because it had been employing illegal aliens.
One has to wonder if the fence they would build would have secret entrances so they could keep getting employees. And wouldn’t their workers feel like traitors building a fence to keep out their brothers and sisters?

Britain's Darts Regulatory Authority announced in November that professional darts player Robbie "Kong" Green had been suspended for eight weeks after a positive drug test. The rat smoked a little weed to calm his nerves and that gave him an edge on his opponents. And you thought American Football players were bad.

In case you thought that only American streets were dangerous.
Police in Sydney, Australia, arrested 19 people in a two-family street fight in January and, according to Sydney's Daily Telegraph, confiscated "knives, baseball bats, metal poles, planks, branches, cricket bats, pick handles, screwdrivers, golf clubs, curtain rods and glass bottles," as well as hammers and machetes. It’s a good job they didn’t have any guns.

I have a good book to read and blogs to visit so I think I’ll just stay home.

@@@@-News from Pigeon Falls– The little town in my garage where the trains still run and dragons fly-As of this morning Tommy, the undertaker’s kid had been unable to contact the dragon. But not from lack of trying. His mother is beginning to worry that this obsession will cause his grades to fall. He has been, despite all the trouble he has been in, an A student.
Nancy is till humming and smiling and even giving free second cups of coffee. Tommy, the writer, has certainly made a big impact on her. In fact Uncle Eino is becoming a little concerned since they know so little about Tom Bradley. He seems genuine enough but the way things have been going lately in Pigeon Falls you can’t be sure. Eino is thinking of running a little background check.
Mrs. Trumble received an official response from Homeland Security. It said that the government had information that a terrorist group was going to test a virus on Pigeon Falls so they moved to protect the nation. They later discovered it was not true. They are sorry for any problems caused to Pigeon Falls. Mrs. Trumble is wondering if the government can get anything right. Eino says the whole story is hogwash. There were no doctors with the “occupation”. There was no blood taken. There were no tests. They weren’t looking for a virus. But he has no idea what they were doing.
Tom Maki, says he is going to get his hunting dogs some of that beer they are making in Europe for dogs. Then after a hunt both he and the dogs can settle down to a cold beer. Those Europeans sure know how to live.

After saying I was staying in the Fortress I went out to the Doctor. I will blog about that tomorrow. Then we went and picked up the wheel for the snowblower. Then I was safe back in the Fortress. I watched a little TV then did some blogging. Now I need a breathing treatment.
