  Last random thoughts from West Virginia.
I cannot begin to tell you the sense of inner peace this is giving me. And to think I could be out in the Day area with my fellow inmates watching BET or soap operas!

Speaking of TV, it was interesting last night, they actually had TV LAND on and were watching Sanford and Son. I caught the last fifteen minutes of an episode in which Lena Horne makes a cameo appearance.

The strange thing to see was how many of the subtle jokes the TV watchers missed! If it was not a hammer-over-the-head joke, it went right over their heads! It's pretty bad when blacks do not get Sanford jokes! Ah, I wax poetic for the good old days of TV.

Boom Bam Boom Boom, yeah no real way to use words to show melody. Now the fourth movement. 1:40 PM and what, still no commercial break? Creativity lives and is celebrated in West Virginia this afternoon!

Hey, just a random thought, do Indian employees of American companies get a four-day weekend for Thanksgiving also? They probably get no holidays I guess, since they would have to be working when the US is open for business. Even if it was an Indian holiday, one could not be so bold as to let American customers know that their calls are not handled in the good old USA.

But since July 4th, Thanksgiving, etc. are all American holidays, why should Indians get them? So this is another point in favor of offshore work, no holiday pay! The old you-work-we-pay, you-no-work-we-no-pay!

Ah, what a wonderful country! If this keeps up, we will become the country of prison keepers and prisoners. Take your pick. Kind of like eating your young. Hmm, offshore prisons. Wait a minute that has been done before! What about those commercial moon trips. They are going to need lots of grunt labor. So you get the federal dollars and prisoners do the labor. On and on it goes.

Well, it is winding down now, so off to the shower I go! Must not be late for my date with the cops!
