Had a brief conversaton this morning on facebook with Billie Joe Lee.  It seems that he has joined the ranks of the retired.  His last day with Ontario P.D. was May 7th.  He and I worked together on the DUI team back in the mid 80's.  He used to drop by my house every once in awhile on duty and chat.  He retired as a Sgt.  If I find an email address for him I'll pass it along or those of you on facebook can friend him.

Rode to the beach from "The Big A" and back yesterday.  Didn't go all the way to the pier because I was getting tired.  Had quite a head wind going down and a quite nice tail wind going back.  This was the view from the first bathroom along the boardwalk.  It was pretty nice at the beach.  There was a 1:00 PM baseball game at the stadium so I had to weave thru traffic to get to the bike trail. I know, if I left earlier.... I'm just not a morning person.

Best rapture photo I've seen yet!!!

Happy Birthday wished go out to Stevie Nicks who turns 62 years old today.

Oops!!!!

Another reason why we live in Southern California. This is a tornado seen in Oklahoma today.

While I'm sure this is the product of photoshop, wouldn't it be nice to see some honesty come out of a church for a change? 

Wish I had written this!!

Blurring the Line

     How would you like to find atheist literature on your front door?  Maybe a large monument every few blocks denouncing religion as mass indoctrination?  How about standing in line at the store only to have agnostic propaganda shoved in your hand?  Then you try to get to your car without some non-believer begging for your money to further their cause?
     How many so-called Christians would stand for this treatment?
     Well, quit whining because this is what non-believers encounter every day.
     So, here you go, Daily Bulletin.  I'm tired of a certain letter writer's doom-and-gloom rants. (Re: "The Man," April 24.)  I'm sick and tired of blurred lines between religion and politics.  I'm weary of the mass assumptions that equate religion with being patriotic.
     Your apparent unwillingness to provide equal space for just as extreme opposing views only reinforces my opinion of pious, self-righteous, religious hypocrites.

You go girl!!!

Went for a 20 mile bike ride today. Rode along the Santa Ana River in Norco. It was a bit chilly and windy at first. Didn't see any snakes, but did see a raccoon.

Looks like either Mother Nature or the local maintainance folks have cleared a lot of the river of trees.

This is the bike jersey that Jack has designed for his team for the Tahoe ride in a couple of weeks.

The Official Response

How about thought provoking or eye opening

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people,
Living for today.

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace.

You may say that I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the world.

You may say that I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

"Imagine"

Didn't happen. I read some women tried to cut both her daughters throats before cutting her own to avoid the rapture. How sad is that??

Congratulations to Johaneley who is graduating from the Evangelical School for the Deaf in Puerto Rico next Tuesday.

Follow-up: 

You may recall a blog entry I made back in April where Texas Governor Rick Perry asked Texans of all religious denominations to pray for rain to end their drought.  Well, I'm here to report that Texas is still in a drought and all their prayers didn't bring rain or an end of their drought.  I'm just saying....

This is a little hard to read. It says;
Rapture Day prank: on Saturday, May 21st take some of your unwanted clothes and shoes...
... and leave sets of them arranged on sidewalks and lawns around town.

Bad Prom Ideas!!!

I would ride my bike to work but 30 miles each way is a bit too far for me.
