I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, EXACTLY

Blog number 538 ******** 17 February 2012


I have no idea at all why I'm blogging this entry. The incident itself is entertaining to me, and I relive it every once in awhile, but would others appreciate the entry? I dunno.


When I was stationed at Mather AFB, living off base, one day my wife and I got severe stomach cramps.  They would double us over, but in a few seconds they would disappear and we would feel fine. Then they would come again.

We decided, "nuts to this" so we got in the car and started driving to Mather to see about getting into the hospital, or at least get the cramps stopped.


Mather was eleven miles away and on the way, I had to stop several times, unable to drive because of the pain. My wife's cramps lessened, but mine remained severe.


My wife kept telling me that it wasn't any more severe than labor pains, and it was only fifty years later that she told me that she said that, trying to make me feel better.

We finally made it to the hospital and I saw the doctor. I wanted to go into the hospital, but since I didn't seem to be in any pain, he gave me some pills or something and I left, but before I could leave the base I got another attack, so when it passed, I went back to see the doctor, told him I was still having cramps.  I could tell that the doctor didn't believe me, but thought I was malingering. 


He kinda disgustedly said, "Ok, I'll give you a note to get you off work tomorrow."  I left again.


On the way out the gate, I got another attack, pulled over, and when it passed, I went back to the doctor. 

He said, "Ok, I'm gonna put you in the hospital (subtext, 'that'll teach you')" 


As he was filling out the forms to arrange this, I had another attack, giving a loud lingering grunt while bent over at the waist.  The doctor looked shocked and lifted himself somewhat out of his chair and said, "You're kidding, right?"  I shook my head, "no."

I finally got into the hospital, severe diarrhea.

MARTIANS GO HOME

Blog number 537 ******** 10 January 2012


So I'm watching the telly as I always do and I happened to be watching the news, something I rarely do. So I read about a meteorite that landed in the African desert somewheres. I am told that this particular meteorite came from Mars, believe it or not. I'm having a little trouble believing it.


What is the evidence that has been used to come to the opinion that it came from Mars? 


It all sounds to me like that story about dead animals turning into black gold. I just don't believe either story..
