Last 3 days, Bhutto

by Duf Anything and Everything

Let me just start by saying how disgusting it is that former Prime Minister Bhutto was assassinated yesterday.  I have never been one to follow Pakistan current events but this assassination story included some facts I didn’t know.  I didn’t know that the current leader of Pakistan seized power in 1999.  I didn’t know the US funneled over a billion dollars a year to Pakistan.  I did know that the leader of the Pakistan intelligence agency wired 100,000 dollars to Mohammad Atta shortly before 9/11.  So we financially back a dictator who took over the country by force? The billion dollars is probably a bribe so they don’t distribute the nuclear weapons they possess to the various terrorist elements that happily live there. What a joke. Hmmm much of this sounds just like the Saddam Hussein script.  What in the F is the world coming to?  I mean really, it is so lost, so pathetic, so corrupt, so evil. 

 So anyway my first day back at work went ok.  For some reason, the break I had for Vegas seemed longer than the break we took to go out West in September even though in reality it wasn’t.  Even though we worked out a few mornings in Vegas in the fitness room and did TONS of walking along with hiking in Red Rock, I still sort of felt like I had been majorly slacking fitness-wise.  So for my first day back in the gym instead of easing back into things I decided to jump right back into doing a 300. Whew it was a struggle to get through it.  Before I started I felt low energy and weak.  Afterwards I was totally spent.  I have been sore as hell the past couple days as a result. 

When I came back to work I brought along my presents that would be put to use here like my steel ball time machine and my USB powered sparkle rocket. I loaded the Slingplayer at work and was able to watch shows on my home Tivo here via my slingbox. Really there hasn’t been much else going on that is noteworthy. At home we have been slowly assimilating the gifts and trying to clean up.  I’ll probably let the decorations stay up till the weekend after New Year’s. I got around to getting the pictures we took in Vegas online.  You can check them out here. I also added the handful of pictures I took Christmas morning.

 And remember to always:
