Who do you trust?

Not Me.

Well first,
let me tell you,
that today in the U.K.,
two dozen individuals were arrested,
suspected of plotting terror attacks in the U.S.

So the country is on high alert.
And everybody is in a very tense mood.

So I went to work today,
and as my usual routine,
I always put my food in the fridge,
before I clock in.

But, as I open the fridge door,
the security alarm blared louder than a fire truck siren.
Blasting my eardrums like I was in a KISS concert.

Apparently, I was the first one there,
and I triggered the alarm.

And I was not given any codes to disarm the freakin’ thing.

Geetooth Cryth!

I didn’t know if I was going to run,
or just stay where I was and not move.

I had to make a decision.

I left.

Probably not the best decision,
but my ears were hurting.

Although, my brother suggested I should have stayed
and dropped to my knees, like I was praying.
I didn’t think that was a good idea either,
but he said, he just wanted to see me on the news.

Anyway.
Luckily, there were a couple of my co-workers
down at the parking lot.

I told them, I triggered the alarm,
and I didn’t have a code.
They were very nice, and disarmed it
and told me not to worry.

But here comes the law.
The county sheriffs came to check the place out.
And for some reason,
as they walk around the office,
they seem to know it was me who did it.

They were looking at me,
like, I stole their morning breakfast.

They were not happy.
Plus given the fact that the country is on high red alert,
I didn’t think they were in any mood to check out false alarms.

What a way to start the day.
It feels like I have been officially initiated.

Although I must say,
I was not trying to impress the boss by showing up early.
I am not the “eager beaver” guy who couldn’t wait to start the work day.

I just want my food to stay fresh,
and my yogurt not to melt.

In conclusion,
There are only two things that got stuck in my brain today.

First,
I can’t be trusted.

And second,
I owe those cops some donuts.

The Government.

So I was reading up on
the process on how to renew my passport online.

Then I came about this friendly reminder from the Canadian Government,
about this new “WHTI.”
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.

Stating that, all travelers will require a passport to enter/re-enter
the United States, by way of air or sea.
And this includes Canadians too.

Currently, Canadians only need to present proof of citizenship,
or a photo ID, such as a Driver’s License or a Blockbusters card.

Not anymore.
Everyone must show their passport documents.

Well, this is good news, since you can never be too safe
with regards to terrorists trying to enter the American realm.

And then,

I also came about this article from CBC —> click here.

And of course I am sure you didn’t read that.
So, I’ll sum it up for you.

Apparently,
there will be exemptions to this new rule that the U.S. is trying to initiate.

It states that travelers who enter by means of ferries or a private watercraft,
are exempt from this new law. Because “this is a particular form of transportation, they do not want to interfere with.”

(Brilliant!)

So in conclusion.

There are two things I have learned from all of this.

Lesson learned number 1.
Terrorists never use ferries or private watercrafts,
and prefers to show valid identification documents.

(Whew!)

Lesson learned number 2.
We should always trust the government.
How they govern you and
how they tackle each and every issue this country faces.

They want what’s best for you.
They are like your typical car salesman.
They never lie.
They are your friends

Listen to them.

One dilemma about having to go to work
would be “food.”

What am I gonna have for lunch?

Sure, I could go out of the office,
drive a couple of miles,
just to get stuck in traffic
and wait at long lines at the fast food drive-thru.

But I only have an hour for lunch
and I am not going to make it back on time.

Plus, spending a good $5 – $6 dollars everyday
is not on my budget plan.

So, I bring in the ultimate solution for quick fill nourishments.

TV Dinners!

And today, I have the “Hungry Man – Salisbury Steak” meal.

A pound of sweet succulent cow meat,
with mushroom and onion gravy,
mashed potatoes,
green beans and carrots for veggies,
and a side of brownie,
all packed in one delicious serving.

Yummy!

Although, there should be a disclaimer on these
so called “fill-you-up-tv-dinners.”
Especially with this “Hungry Man” feast.

They are not very filling!
It didn’t even hit the spot.
In fact, not even close at all.

I am still hungry!

I really am!

My God! I have problems.

Curse you, my overactive appetite!
