A Stitch in Time
I like this song a lot. Best of the 3 so far.
Cane “walking-tall” Crosby: January 10th 1921-February 27th, 2010…
Cane “walking tall” Crosby (89), died February 27th, 2010, on the Coosa Backcountry trail of a broken spine.
The service was held at approximately 8pm February 27th at campsite Charlie/Delta/Mike (mile marker 6.02) on the Coosa Backcountry Trail. James Crosby (owner) delivered the body to the Norse gods via “the fire of life”. Participants then read from “The Book of Z” (The Great Panic Chapters).
Cane was born January 10, 1921, in Hood River, Ore., to William and Mary Branch. He graduated from high school and later served in the Unites States Army as a Staff Sargent . He moved to Boulder in 1968 and made Denver his home in 1973. In 1992, he retired from Denver Water and Wastewater Utility and moved to Black Rock Mountain Georgia where he befriended Mr. Crosby and moved with he and his wife to Atlanta.
He enjoyed hunting, camping, hiking and reading.

Mr. Crosby wrote: “Cane loved fishing and hunting and bashing people’s skulls in. He also enjoyed meeting and sharing life stories with everyone he met. He always told a good story and he talked softly (since he was a big stick). He will be missed greatly by his family and everyone who knew him, but I’ll get a new one soon”
Cane is survived by Mr. Crosby and His wife Sara along with Cane’s companion (Sara’s stick), 8 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Primate Goes To Rehab
MOSCOW – A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday. An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices.
”The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze,” the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper said.
It added he has now been transferred to the city of Kazan, about 800 km (500 miles) east of Moscow, for rehabilitation treatment.
I guess this is where the term “Monkey Business” came from. But seriously, this has to be a prime example of peer pressure because it seems as if people were just throwing booze at him. Not many people out there would ever pass up on free beer.
Chase Bank – Greed, Immorality and the American Way
I think I may have found a company worse than Sears. I give you Chase Bank and their forced-fixed-policy insurance.
“Homeowners insurance serves two purposes — it protects both the homeowner and the mortgage bank against a disaster. In this tough economy, more Americans have let their homeowners insurance lapse, but that decision has consequences. If they don’t pay for coverage, their lenders will force a policy on them, at a much higher cost. ”

Sears – Terrible Company, Terrible Service
Sears is a terrible company. They make poor quality products and their auto centers are run by mother f#*kers. My less than 2 year old oven handle ripped off the oven door awhile back. It is going to cost me $200 to fix this. This just pisses me off. You should see how they designed the oven door. It would take me a few hours to dissasemble the whole f$*&ing oven to reattached the new oven handle. They design it like this so you have to have some sears technician come to your house – after waiting around all f’n day on a Saturday. I hope somebody reads this blog and decides not to shop at Sears. Spread the WORD!
Just trust me on the autoZone. They will take you for everything your worth there. Do not take your car there!
