The Daily News
1 From yesterday’s Merc: Weeks before Halloween, San Jose’s seasonal rainfall is already around 1.25 inches, or 185% of normal, said the National Weather Service. Even more remarkable, San Jose typically has about three rainy days in any given October.
2 So after spending days bragging about what a terrific failure I was, and how I now can officially declare failure overrated and all, I have a perfect excuse on which to hang my proverbial hat. I am undone.
3 Basically, the Merc’s report on the unseasonable downpours explained my chonie halftime to the masses.
4 Of course by Thursday I’m the only guy who cares, but I must say.
5 Ah, that stuff gets old anyway.
6 Old and in the way.
7 All that stuff turned me into a zombie, really. I couldn’t write the DN very well because I kept falling asleep and forgetting, and honestly not even having time to edit and make repairs. That happens ANYWAY, but at least I have an excuse this time.
8 So I’ll go back and fix stuff on Saturday.
9 Moving on: Last night was the first night I felt even close to normal again. Yesterday’s remarkable coincidence with Fina had a lot more written, but I dozed into the night and when I awakened, realized I didn’t have time to edit, add pics and all the other goodies.
10 Like…the Colorado Rockies???? Are you fookin’ KIDDIN’????
11 They won something like 22 out of 23 games.
12 They play in a PINBALL machine for gawd’s sakes!
13 I can’t stand it.
14 Moving on, Part 2A: And then I saw Ellen Degeneres bawling about a hounddog. I mean, don’t get me wrong; I like her. But what the heck was THAT about?
15 Moving on, Part Two B (or not…): Good to see that Jay Leno put out a “Hold yer horses there, big guy!” to late night loser Conan O’ Bri-en. Sorry Conan fans, but the guy clearly isn’t in the same league as Jimmy Kimmel or Craig Ferguson. Trust me, I’m not the only guy who questioned that one, and Jay ain’t no dummy.
16 But then, that’s just one guy’s opinion.
17 And heaven forbid I should ever be opinionated.
18 I will give Conan props. He was his high school valedictorian, was editor of the Harvard Lampoon, graduated Magna Cum Laude, and went on to become a writer for the Simpson’s, his most memorable work and his personal fave being the episode called Marge vs. the Monorail.
19 So let’s give credit, but not the Tonight Show.
20 That’s royalty.
21 Moving on, Part the Thoid: And THEN we find that Cheney and Obama are somehow related. Eighth cousins.
22 Come to think of it, there IS a resemblance. They both walk. And they both wear pants.
23 It’s enought to bowl you over, that much is certain.
24 Well, it’s nice to be rested and able to catch up with real life for a spell. Down the road I fully intend to screw things up, but for now, nice to be back.
25 Have a rockin’ Thursday. The weekend starts tonight, right? 
26 Go out and make it better.
27 Peace.
~H~
