Weekend at Bernie's...?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4372794.stm
So long Al. It was a good run. Let's hope Bernie is just as good. Although if G-dub wanted to appoint another unknown from SMU for a spot, he always could've chosen me (hey... I have only 3 years or so to go before this PhD... I could be chairman of the Fed...). But a Princeton prof. might be good. The reviews are good, but I guess we'll see how he does. I must admit, I'm a little concerned that Al is leaving in January. But times change.
And now for some blog business. I have gotten complaints from my constituents... fans... readers.... whatever you people are, that I'm not performing as I used to. That I'm not keepin' it real. That I have delved too deeply into the art of abstract blogging for your comfort.
So like U2 at the turn of the century, I will return to my regular form, tail tucked soundly between my legs, ready to give more humorous anecdotes. AND THE QUEST FOR PAPA YELLA SHALL BEGIN AGAIN!!!! (cue "big military speech" movie music) With my noble steed... uhm... bike... with my NOBLE BIKE I shall quest the lands far from my home at... White Rock Park... and ... uhm... questeth some more, until I have spotted this wondrous creature yet again! And I shall document him for the world to see! This is my mission, this is my quest! Onward noble stee-... bike! Let us right the injustices of.... runners running on the bike path! Let us punish the heinous headphone listeners! Let us restore order to this chaotic world, as it was in the Siglo de Oro de la bicicleta! When Papa Yella's freely roamed, unhindered!
I have also received a request for a "name-change." So from now on, la Mexicana is now "la Ardilla". Enjoy it, peanut. That's more than the Turks are getting.
The Turks however shall keep their national "identities".
The rest of you... Bugs, Bobo, Raoul, Hombreguapo, etc... you shall keep your titles.
So I should be studying for my Macro test tomorrow... yeah... this is that interesting life that Bugsy wanted to hear so much about. :)

no no, now I feel bad! You should be able to blog about anything you want, be it a debate between you and Pablo and dad or what not... I just felt out of the loop and wanted to put my 2 cents in. I enjoy your blogs after a hard day at work being smacked around by a 6 year old 3/4 my size and I just had a bad day and wanted something light, but you should post what you want... just maybe if you happen to see Papa Yella, mention it :-D Love you kiddo! -B
I know, Bugs :) I'm teasing. Hehehe.
The "town crier" has alot of inluence in this family. Just like her mom, one little whine and everybody caves, just when its getting good. Besides,how do we know pappayella isn't really a prosiner escaped from a frog penal colony? D
I dunno dad, at this point I'd say you fit the bill of town crier much better than Bugs.
Snicker snicker... :)
Agh... hehe... sorry...
Awe, Bugs... don't feel bad. Maybe Quijote should be able to blog about anything, but you should be able to freely express your opinion too. Especially if it is such an intelligent opinion. hmm... hello, by the way... hope all is going well with you : )
Raoul, I agree with you. Progress is positive in a practical, not in a moral way. I do like to think that the world's reality has progressed in a morally positive way, though : ) Don't you?
That would be nice, Val... but everything I've seen in history (and the lessons from scripture) indicate the opposite. Certainly we've improved the infrastructure of our society quite substantially, but we as human beings haven't improved one bit. If anything, we're getting worse as people as our technology and methods improve around us. We still do evil, just in a very modern, hi-tech sort of way.
Raoul - I agree, but tend to disagree with you in some ways. For example, progress has definately led down bad paths. Like what some consider progress is that we as Americans are becoming more and more open to other people's religions and beliefs. Not really whats true, but it is progress if we are more tolerant of others right? But it can be positive at the same time being more tolerant and progressive. Like the Civil Rights Movement that was progress for more equality the ulitmate goal. Rosa Parks in many ways, who recently died, led to greater equality for both races (at least by the written law). So, I can see both sides to this discussion but I don't think its always worse. Maybe I am just a hopefull optimistic young social worker, but thats how I feel. Good discussioin!
I bleieve this post is a record for "Letters from a Nut" with 9 posts! Wow. Half of them aren't even about the actual post!
I think this blog is reaching "discussion board" status. Hehehehe...
Translation para los hispanohablantes:
Jejejejej....
Awesome.
It's twelve now! jeje...
Not sure where to post this... probably should get a blog of my own.
YM and D took Eric/Erin to dinner at Olive Garden this week...got to see their house, gave them a set of stainless from each of you (as we had talked about), and heard about their jobs. Wow! Erin is turning into quite the oil driller, and Eric is working with one of the best computer programs in the world (out of Germany, why am I not surprised). We gave them the Bowflex and a couple of tables...it's good to see that the excess furniture is in a good place.
They are great!
Love,
YM
She had to go and wreck it with stainless...might as well bring up shoe polish...D
