Like a Bunch of Lemmings





















The term Snow Birds refers to mostly retired people who have mostly sold their homes and bought large fifth wheel trailers or motor homes that they migrate between the northern states in the Summer and the southern states in the Winter.  My former in-laws were like this spending winter months down in Southern Texas and winter up here in Colorado. At least they were smart enough not selling their real home and when they got too old for hauling the fifth wheel back and forth they sold it and moved back into their home until they died.  I have met some people who actually buy a mobile home and park it in some RV park and use it like a second home or week end get away.  If you have never stayed at an RV Park, it is like nothing you can ever imagine.  Think of camping on a large asphalt parking lot outside some mountain town.  I do not understand the attraction but lots of people will pay $500.00 up to $5,000.00 a month 12 months a year to park their land yacht along with a couple hundred land yachts clustered cheek-to-jowl (5-7 feet apart ).  These are the same people who would never dream of living in an apartment because they demand privacy and quietness.
Anyway getting back to the Fiscal cliff and all Americans going over the abyss like a bunch of Lemmings.....Tomorrow we start our journey and adventure into a cross between Oz and Wonderland, President Bronco Bama as  the King of Hearts,  Harry Reid as the hookah smoking Catapiller, Nancy Pelosi as the Wicked Witch from the strange kingdom out west, Princess Leah from Star Wars as Dorthy  and Teeger as the Cowardly Tiger.  The really strange thing here is that I can do this with out smoking any grass or pot, imagine what I could come up with it I had some pot to draw by.
