Well only a week to go and I will be off to Laila’s for a few weeks.  I am looking forward to the break and getting some rest.  Not that I don’t like my job or anything, quite the opposite, I love my job.  I just need the rest after taking a class though, and especially lately where our shortage of manpower has kept me really busy.

Yesterday I could have sworn that Rick Roberts said something about not dwelling on the O J Simpson arrest and all, but this morning his show was about, yup you guessed it, O J Simpson.  So I switched over to the Laura Ingraham show where she was talking about Iran.

I also had to turn off the Fox News Channel after the majority of their programming was highlighting the O J case.  If the press would ignore this clown and the justice system would lock this menace to society up for good the world would be a nicer and safer place.

Instead the media is going to turn this into a three ring circus like the last trial was and somehow he will get off again.

I also found the other story pumped up by the news quite funny.  John Kerry was giving a speech at some University, in I think it was Florida, when one of the students got out of hand.  The guy was wrestling with police and swearing.  Finally the college police used a taser on him and carted him off.  What was funny was that this was a left wing wacko who I guess does this stuff all the time to get attention as one of the news agencies checked out his website.  He was probably even a Kerry supporter which makes it that much funnier.

San Diego has made another of the countries lists, this time we are in sixth place for traffic congestion, another list that I would not like to be on.  They say the average San Diegan spends 57 hours a year stuck in traffic on the freeways.  I don’t think it would be so bad if they would take the 95 percent of the transit money that they spend on the trolley and bus system and use it to widen the highways.  I enjoy seeing the empty busses paid for with my tax dollars running around all the time.  In fact the transit system is losing so much money on the busses and trolley system that they are raising the rates.  That will really help, out the poor and elderly folks that seem to be the only ones that ever ride it.

 Well I guess that is about it.  I need to run over and put some gas in the car.  I like doing it during lunch because there are no lines.  

Well I am back from the gas station and decided to write a little more.  Today I saw maybe one of the dumbest people I have ever seen.  I was at the gas station and they have two pay windows.  Normally only one of them is open at a time.  Well the lady who was driving a mini van was at the front of the next line over had finished pumping her gas and went to the window to pay.  From where I was pumping mine I could not see her but the guy behind me did and called over to her.  I guess she was standing in line at the closed window.  I don’t know how they let people that dumb get a license.

When I got back to work I noticed a sign on the door that they have raised the security readiness level.  I wondered what was up and after asking around found out that they will be doing drills and all.  They may even close the base over the next couple of days so that would be a free day off.

I heard on the radio that the judge set O J Simpson’s bail at $125,000 and with that low amount I wonder why they even bothered requiring bail.  They should have just let him out, it is not like he is going to be able to go anywhere.
