The End of the World as we know it

A person has been predicted today to be the end of the world, I predict tomorrow I’ll need to buy gas. I wonder which prediction is more likely to come to fruition? Have you finished your bucket list, that list of everything you want to do before you’re not able to do things any longer? I haven’t even finished writing mine. Bucket lists cost money, for the most part, and I’m not at a point where I can stop working to execute my bucket list. I could lower my expectations of acceptable standard of living, ask everyone from the government to the guy waiting for the bus to give me free stuff, but I choose not to, so my bucket list waits.
I have a sneaky suspicion that if some great controller is planning a catastrophic surprise for our little corner of humanity, its not going to make an appointment. See you tomorrow.

Pork Studies

Let’s talk about pork. With out a doubt the pig is one of the most enjoyed mammals on the planet; large litters delight the producers in the spring, piglets delight little children at the county fair, in the fall fat ones delight the butcher as he goes about his craft. There are so many parts of the pig to enjoy, bacon, ham, ribs, chops, loin roast, sausage, pickled feet even the head and ears are used as delicacies around the globe. We have contests to test our prowess in preparing this fine animal, we fry it, we bake it, we broil it, we microwave it, we cook it over an open fire, we even bury it in the ground wrapped in leaves. We smother its components with all kinds of enhancements in pursuit of the perfect flavor, saving its best to celebrate our most cherished holiday meals. Garbage in does not always mean garbage out.

Introductions

Introductions are in order; Steve Gish is what I go by, been around this little blue planet of ours almost 50 years now, not quite, but a bit closer than I’d like. Life has been interesting to say the least, grew up on a small Kansas farm, spent a good number of years gallivanting around the world with the US Navy, hobbies and interests have changed with the seasons many times over. I don’t prescribe to a regulated religion, I don’t fit the mold of a known political affiliation and honestly, at this point in life, all I ever intend to do is whatever it takes to keep my sanity in check until I just don’t need it any longer. I still have a day job with stresses I’d care to release but the reality of it is I’m afraid I might out live my bank account, and I would rather not burden the general public for their hard earned money, so I keep at it. My current pursuit of reading and writing have prompted me to make recordings of my mental wanderings, which come and go without notice; hence this blogs subtitle “searching for something to do between thoughts”. Topical Noise will run the gamut of subject matter, the new sun bringing the next great debate. Feel free to pop in and stir the pot.
