About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Updating HARK..Bug of today

 am happy to report that my voice has returned from the subterranean region it has occupied recently (lol) -
no need to cover your ears - well almost

It currently hovers a bit below the Contralto level. Think Zarah Leander 
Hoping by mid next week it will have returned to mezzo, and soon after to spinto... ha!
Sorta like Elena Nikolaidi (R.I.P) (yes, that Miss Nikki of the HGO opera Studio who defied being put into a "FACH"- she was also known as a 'sopralto ;-)!')
Since it never was, and never will be, a coloratura ... think Kathleen Battle!

And the nasty invader, the Mucus Family, is still there! 
And so the hacking and coughing continues, loudly!

BUG of today:
Protests,
Protests
and more Protests.

All one hears and reads are PROTESTS.
Protests in the Middle East.
Protests in the Far East.

Protests In Wisconsin - yes, in Wisconsin!
Read more on this below:

Duly elected Governor Walker
tries to work out the state's budget crisis!
What does he get?  Protests.
NIMBYs out in force..


Yes, Yes, everyone loudly complains about the big spenders..but....talking louder doesn;t do it!

.
Yes, Yes, we must cut spending!
But comes time to cut  -
you guessed it -  knee jerk responses of
"Cut theirs, but not mine"!
"Cut over there, but not here"!

Cuts have to start somewhere.
When expense out strips income - one has to do all one can.Or is it better to bankrupt? 
NO jobs, NO income, NO taxes collected.
Let 'them' worry about it.
"I am not paying, am walking away from it all"
"Yes..let 'them' handle it!"
"Yes..let 'them' pay for it!"
Except think on it a bit!
The 'them' is actually all others of us!
