I spent my day doing chores. Fortunately, there were all good chores.
Thoughts on enjoyable chores and TOP COMMENTS below the fold.
In all honesty, I don’t have much of a diary tonight. So it goes. That is in large part due to chores.
I went to the bank this morning, after checking my PO Box. Having money to deposit was a good chore, but the PO sucked because all I received was junk mail.
I went to the Forest Service to pick up a backcountry permit. Five friends and I have doing a short backpacking trip. Three nights in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. We’ll hike about 40 miles. Nothing impressive, but I’m very excited.
I went by the hardware store to buy paint for my classroom. I finally have access to my new room. I painted one wall with leftover blue paint, and I’m painting the rest white. I really like the way the new color changes the room. I put a lot of my stuff on the walls. It reminded me of marking my territory. The only down side is that I’m using some leftover white paint, and the walls are more off-white than I anticipated. Oh, well....
So, it was a day of chores, but each one was fun. There was a nice break of coffee with a dear friend. Just a good day of getting stuff done.
Enough of these quotidian details! WE WANT TOP COMMENTS!!!

From SPAM!:
Good day,
Greetings:
I am sorry to intrude into your private and peaceful life, all the same My name is Mr. Steven Donald, I work as an accountant in a bank; I contacted you to work together with me in claiming my late client's estate. Unfortunately he died without a registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary status.
You could be made the beneficiary since you share the same last name with him. This has officially transferred the right to you, as no other person from his family knows anything about this fund with our bank.If you are interested in working with me, please get back to me as quickly as possible, so that I give you the details of what we are to do.
I wait for your prompt response so that I can give you more briefing of what you need to and how to do it.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Regards.
Donald.
From madgranny:
Kovie sums up Dick Cheney's MO.
Trix gives us some info on Ron Paul and down the thread Kdoug embellishes it.
From Night Owl:
SparksMom on why censure isn't enough.
From Monkeybiz:
I may have been a sailor in a past life, but there's one cuss word I never use -- and Fiona West explains why, more civilly than I ever could, in dougymi's diary, "Hardball: Shuster on FIRE!" Fiona West, I'll know who to turn to when Little Monkeybiz hits the potty-mouth stage...
From bronte17:
Magnifico on what happens in the Land of Make Believe. bronte17 adds: BTW, this entire diary is funny as hell. And, man, did you know (whisper) that Mister Rogers swam in the NUDE in his swimming pool each morning.
From Elise:
clonecone has the longest acronym and a funny thread follows. Potential Harry Potter spoilers...LOL
rserven has another acronym and funny thread.
And cardinal has my favorite comment and acronym of the day.
murrayevw starts off a great thread about tough love and children. G2geek's comment towards the end is dead on.
Apparently Fox News thinks Mr. Rogers destroyed a generation? MJB corrects the headline for the story.
I’m blaming my lack of comment mining on being at school all day, painting, and having a headache currently (I need water). BUT, look! I did my own top mojo!!!!!
