YOU CAN LEAD A GUNDARK TO WATER, BUT NOT ON TATOOINE

Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops.

Well, it seems to me that all the crops on Tatooine would already be dusty, it being a desert and all... everything in Arizona is certainly dusty. But if the crops on Tatooine were water, how would they be dusted? It would be mud. And if the crop was water, where did the food come from? Chinese take out? Thank you for calling the Tosche Station Pizza Hut...

Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Oh, I don't know about that, Obi-Wan, there's always north Scottsdale... and the consulting firm I used to work for... which pales next to the air conditioning place I worked at...

"I'll have an Eyeblaster," the Princess said. "Atomized, not fizzled!"

I can see Princess Leia in the Mos Eisley cantina. Completely unfazed by the assortment of beings, and staring down the patrons at the bar. "You have the death sentence on twelve systems? I don't give a damn, I'm a Princess!"

The hot weather has me thinking about Tatooine, as you can surmise by my random musings. It's hot, dry and some days the wind blows up enough dust to make the sky brown. The weather forecast? Hot and getting hotter every day until October. And my point? Have the meteorologists take the summer off. I bet Tatooine didn't even HAVE meteorologists... unless they were there to look out for meteors...

You know why the best cheeseburgers come from the asteroid belt? They're meatier.

The pioneers looked for water holes along the trail; we look for hotels with pools. Here in Arizona we all have pools, and we have artificial lakes. Only in Arizona would a city council have to vote on putting water into the town lake, which was created in a dry riverbed, which is dry because we dammed up the river to have water for our pools...and you thought New Republic politics were complicated...

So, with the coming of summer I'll be in the house all day, and have lots of time to blog... hopefully the next one will have some substance.

And may the Force be with us all!

date Posted: May 05, 2008 11:42 AM I sense a lack of substance in your blog, my Apprentice. I'll have what you're having... You may not be able to lead a Gundark to water on Tatooine, but you sure can lead him to the Cantina for a nice Ion Blaster... So, with the coming of summer I'll be in the house all day, and have lots of time to blog... We're all doomed...

Only in Arizona would a city council have to vote on putting water into the town lake, which was created in a dry riverbed, which is dry because we dammed up the river to have water for our pools...and you thought New Republic politics were complicated... HA! Three cheers for governmental efficiency!

date Posted: May 05, 2008 3:20 PM Well maybe they needed the dessert really dusty to get the water out. ....or maybe their hydroponics bays needed regular cleaning with a feather duster. unless they were there to look out for meteors. So was luke in training for that as well when he was on Hoth. You know in case the whole Jedi saving the galaxy thing didn't work out.

date Posted: May 05, 2008 8:51 PM Three cheers for governmental efficiency! And they had to PAY for the water... You know in case the whole Jedi saving the galaxy thing didn't work out. It's a fallback career... meteorologist on Tatooine.... AAAAhhhh, it's this time of year that makes me glad I left AZ!! I had hoped to be saying that by now....

date Posted: May 06, 2008 7:44 AM Ooooooh, images of a hot and dusty summer swim around my foggy brain. That's what we may be in store for, g-w, and it isn't normal for my neck of the woods. Stay cool. Well, you're already pretty cool. I mean in the literal sense of the word, though. MTFBWY

date Posted: May 12, 2008 1:36 PM and you thought New Republic politics were complicated... Here's a good one. Getting fined by a law that was put in illegally yet still having to pay it. Then when you go to get rid of that law they put in another illegal law saying you cant get rid of laws without approval from the state. Aha! Brilliance. Thank you JawaJoey for the directions here.
