A review of the week's events reveals all is well in the world:

-a MA university is denying enrollment in its science and engineering classes to Iranians. More room for American students???

-newer, allegedly safer oil tanker r.r. cars derailed into a river. Hmmm. Maybe the pipeline does make sense.

-NASA, the space rocket agency, is sending a submarine into space. Sigh.

-Bostonians, clearly going mad, are jumping from as high as 3 stories up, in their underwear only, onto snow banks below. I'm waiting for one of them to hit a buried car.

- a white elementary school principal in Hannibal MO has been arrested for drug dealing, thus becoming the first white guy arrested for drugs in America in years.

-a fed. judge in Texas stood up to Obama and said no. Who knew states still had rights?

Barry Bond's drug dealer gets four years in jail for dealing steroids, but Barry never took none of that stuff. R-i-i-g-h-t.

-two Aussies chose to sail their newly-purchased boat off the MA coast in winter snowstorm #4, thus putting an entire Coast Guard crew at great risk to rescue their sorry butts. They currently are tied for first place in the Darwin Awards competition with:

-the 16 year old Phx AZ kid who, locked out of his house, tried entering via the chimney and got stuck. Shocking. and:

-the 17 year old CA kid who killed himself playing Russian Roulette.

-meanwhile, in Carlyle, our squirrels are sitting on the bird feeder and sitting in the bird seed box stuffing themselves, while the birds are attacking the corn cobs I threw on the front lawn for the squirrels.

We're good here.
