That's a saying my Grandmother and I made up while camping one summer. We were sitting around the morning campfire, and the fire was too hot. I said, "That really burns my bacon." She laughed. I then started swaggering around like John Wayne saying "Well pilgrim, that really burns my bacon."
Well, I was listening to the radio this morning. This morning talk show personality was explaining her trip to New York last week for a press junket. She said said the whole trip scared her, being alone and her first time in New York. Well, she gets in this cab and the driver starts telling her all these crazy stories. He says on 9/11, the two way radios were crackling with information of where not to be. They were warning eachother of what was about to happen and where.
OK, I don't know if this driver was going crazy or serious, but it really burns my bacon. I want this guy thrown in jail just for being an idiot. If he really herd cab drivers warning eachother, why didn't this driver turn them in afterwards? If this guy was doing the warning, as if he knew what was going to happen, he needs to be shot. The radio never mentioned his nationality.
I get so frustrated with our country sometimes. I'm hearing reports that the government is conceding there may already be nuclear weapons smuggled into our country. I'm hearing there has been documents exposing a longstanding plan to hit several large cities with these weapons. When are we going to crack down on this? When will the American people stand up and say enough! We need to quit our pansy attitude of border control. While we don't encourage immigrants to speak English, we try to force our hospitals to have interpreters. I don't get it. We need to start shutting down our borders in effort of controlling the trash that is getting in.
You know, when I use to dial information on the phone, it would simply say "What city and state please?" Then it started saying "For English, please stay on the line. Para Espanola, marke el numero dos." If you didn't press anything it would default to English. Now its says, "For English, please press one. Para Espanola, marke el numero dos." Is it going to someday default Spanish and make me choose English?
I don't want to go off on a tangent, though. I just feel, that if we wanted to, we could drastically reduce the threat by getting serious at our borders. You know, being a traitor is punishable by death in our country. Let's post these signs everywhere...only in English though.

Hmmm. These issues are very much in my future. We are getting ready to transfer to El Paso where my husband will be working on a Joint Task force concerning immigration and trans-national threats. (sounds rather impressive, eh?) I know exactly what you mean - but the kids and I are still working on learning Spanish. It's good homeschooling. :-)
El Paso, huh? It's reall a very neat city. I think it has the largest state park located inside city limits, in the state.
