It isn’t often that I have really — I mean seriously really — strange dreams. But a dream I had last night was on my all-time bizarre list. In my dream, I was walking down a dirt road in the woods much like the one pictured in my post yesterday about attempts to rename East Texas. But these woods were alive and filled with working — women — blondes to be exact. There must have been a hundred or more young, attractive, blond women who were doing various woods-type work with hoes and shovels. They were all dressed the same in blue chambray shirts and denim pants, kind of like the working uniform I wore years ago in the Navy only they looked a hell of a lot better in their uniforms. Now I know what some of you may be thinking — this guy is having a woman prison fantasy dream. But it wasn’t that. I didn’t sense these women were prisoners. Actually, I felt like they were Swedish. Yes, great-looking, blond, Swedish woodswomen. I tell you guys (or gals), if you are going to have a dream, that isn’t a bad one to have.

I got an e-mail from Shane Allen, the assignment manager at KBTV Channel 4 in Beaumont, yesterday who was replying about my post regarding their weather radar being on the fritz. Shane said that the radar was down because of planned maintenance. I certainly understand that. Sometimes I get down for planned maintenance. Anyway, it was nice of Shane to write and explain to a viewer what was shaking.

Finally, !Feliz Cinco De Mayo! Today is the day of national celebration in Mexico and in the U.S. among many people with the exception of Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan and the Minutemen. The holiday commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza over the French expeditionary forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, thus beginning the use of the term “Freedom Fries.”
