I STILL HATE ROYALTY
I have garnered more anti-royalty stuff which I am pleased to share with my readers.
The retard , Bonnie Prince Charlie's deceased ex-wife , Lady Diana, canonized by the press, adored by all (except your scribe ) has awakened my suspicious nature. Why, you might ask, is prince Harry's DNA a closely guarded secret. He looks suspiciously like the sainted Diana's horse trainer.Is this naught but idle speculation ?
More about Prince Harry of the suspicious parentage : The dashing prince has been caught with his pants literally down. One cannot behave badly in this age of camera phones with impunity. During a wild drunken orgy he appeared in many photos in the altogether, embracing several unidentified women in his luxury suite in Las Vegas.
His reputation should be in tatters. Will the Brits forgive him ? Probably. This modern age has a way of forgiving and forgetting such things. We Americans are not much better. For example, we all adore Bill Clinton (Except your scribe).

THE EGG WARS
About 45 years ago the food gestapo informed us that eggs were really bad for you. The gullible began to throw away the yolk , just eating the white ( ugh ).The real believers
would order egg white omelets ( Brack ).
The egg lovers struck back about ten years ago. Eggs once again became the near perfect food. We all gleefully began to eat eggs, yolk and all, as many per day as we desired. How delicious they are either fried, soft boiled, hard boiled ( Especially good in salads and sandwich spreads ), poached, and even raw in smoothies. We are warned by the anti egg party that we must beware of raw eggs lest something horrid may happen to us (baloney). How about French toast or egg nog (yum).
The food gestapo, in desperation, just brought out the big guns. The latest salvo : Eating eggs is just as damaging to the cardiovascular system as smoking. This might scare the living daylights out of the large anti cigarette lobby so they joyfully have joined the fray.
Can the egg survive this latest onslaught ? Egg lovers unite! We join the fight to save the humble egg.

MISCELLANEOUS
The last word about the move to the new house - We have finally gotten rid of all the 35 years accumulation of junk. The old house is all spruced up and (we hope ) ready for a quick sale.
One last word about the Olympics - I wonder why NBC thinks we are all fascinated with volleyball of all types with endless playoffs, and water polo ( who cares ) , all made horrid by the disgusting Bob Costos.
Politics - I can hardly believe what I am about to write. I think Obama will win a second term ! As expected , he will get 95% of the black vote. Now he seems to be reeling in the Latino vote as well. For unknown reasons he also gets a substantial percentage of the Jewish vote. Our liberal media and the labor unions are piling it on , overwhelming the best efforts of the Fox network and talk radio. The welfare and nanny state have all but taken over. It is hard for the conservatives to make a case for self reliance.
60 minuits have done it again - This bunch spent 30 minutes telling us that sugar is poisonous. Do you believe this ? I don't

Getting used to my new computer, TV, and house
We are overwhelmed by all the new stuff. The I Mac is a beauty with more capabilities than than I will ever learn to use. The enormous TV has all the bells and whistles which
Xfinity has promised us. The beautiful new house is also filled with the high tec stuff associated with modern living. I wonder how to work the fancy micro wave oven and the other regular oven. Perhaps, someday, we will master all this stuff.
Meanwhile, we keep hoping to enjoy the Olympic games which NBC manages to make into a big bore. For some years now they have been foisting this repulsive announcer on us. I can't think of his name right at this moment. Why, I wonder, do they have such so called sporting events such as synchronized swimming . Soccer, baseball, tennis and golf all have tournaments else where. It seems that many minor sports are a big waste of time.The vulgarly large US delegation with the stupid, french looking berets and chinese made uniforms is an emberassement. Sorry to say I cannot find the spellcheck.

BEGINNING TO MOVE
It will probably be 3/4 weeks before we actually move to our new home. The logistics are daunting. However, the first baby steps are being taken. It is surprising how much junk one can accumulate over 35 years. Piles of cassettes (No one has the equipment to play these anymore ).
Books , books, and more books we no longer want (Any volunteers to take 28 volumes of encyclopedias circa 1962 ). Piles of phonograph records ( What is a phonograph ? some of the younger generation might ask ), many liqueur bottles ( We never touch the stuff ) , an assortment of board games , not played in many years nor will be played by us ever again, an excess of water and wine glasses. The list goes on and on.
All that is the easy stuff. Old furniture that won't fit in the new digs becomes a problem. We have a huge excess of pictures and lamps. Just thinking of all this is giving me a head ache and an upset stomach.
I wonder how one moves one's computer, telephone and TV. Maybe comcast will take care of that. Ouch ! I better stop here. My stomach just started feeling funny.

THIS IS SHOCKING
We can hardly believe our good fortune. We have been rattling about for years in our over sized house. It seemed like a good idea to find something smaller.
About 75 yards from our house a smaller one story ( we don't need stairs anymore ) house was about to be put on the market. It is a completely redone modernized place, quite nice. So we bought it.
The idea of moving is daunting. We have many years of accumulated stuff plus an excess of furniture. Friends and family have first shot at the leftovers. The rest gets given away, sold or thrown out. Maybe a garage sale ( I hate those things)
We should close the deal in a two or three weeks and will start seriously moving shortly afterwards. I think we will be able to keep our same telephone number. Everyone will be advised of our change of address.
