Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

Okay so I freely admit that I made a mistake, I broke the law, I forgot to check the date on my car inspection, and was over due. I got pulled over by a state cop, within the confines of the Town of Watertown (Town of Watertown has no police force). So I go to my court date, spend 3 minutes with the judge and his clerk. Got fined the minimum fine which was 25$…(note: fine goes to the state). But also got charged 55$ in court fees…?????????????????????????????????????

Don’t get me wrong…personally I am not a raciest…but I do understand that even today that racial “barriers” exist…I love reality TV I rarely pick the winner…my fav has won like 2 out of … but I contend that given the industry that the winner is put into “America’s Next Top Model” is bias/raciest…(the mad one prepares for the hate mail)…6 of 9 winners have been either…black/mixed black/or latino…

Look at who is walking major runways or major mags

…Look I understand what Tyra …etal…is trying to do…but then at least be honest and call it “America’s Next Great Ethnic Model”…

don’t misunderstand…I accept the fact the fashion industry is bias…but to call it one thing when it isn’t…isn’t right…

Hate me if you will…disagree if you must…but after watching ever cycle of “American’s next top model” more then once my opinion is that the show is racist…6 of the 9 winners where black/mixed race/ethnic…look at the ladies on runways or in mags…I understand what the show is trying to do…but rename it as “America’s next ethnic model” Tyra I know what changes you are trying to make…but be honest and don’t select a white bread girl you will send home and not let win…

In the wake of the passing of cat Smokey, I’m seeing a new side of the last cat “standing”. Aggie was always the “odd” cat out. And I’m now seeing that maybe she was always at her best as an only cat. I talked to my daughter last night and informed her of Smokey’s passing, her comment was when are you going to get Aggie a new “sister”. At this point I don’t think I will.

The last few days have been very difficult…emotionally…despite my best efforts one of my cats…Smokey…an indoor cat for most of her almost 19 years…slipped outside…and I missed it…I found her today (well technically yesterday)…under a yaw tree…R.I.P. you old girl…I will miss you…
