[Vision]

Thanks Gina, do they still make Schlitz?

[WXRGina]

Oh, yeah. Schlitz Beer is still kicking!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Hi everyone!

[Vision]

What a pleasant picture. Only made better if he had finished the lawn first.

[Vision]

Hi Dr, how’s things?

[Vision]

Anything new?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Doc! It looks like a good lineup tonight.

How are you and your Honey healing?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

We’re doing fine. The Beagle’s back home with our daughter, but not before she scratched up some wood trim here. It’s all repairable, and our cat’s happy once again!

[WXRGina]

Vision, there’s not much news this week, nothing big anyway.

Are you having smooth sailing?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

We’ve made a lot of progress! We even took the dog for a walk everyday.

BTW, that picture is cute.

[WXRGina]

Thank the Lord! I’m glad to hear it!

Yes, the Schlitz website has a bunch of “vintage” ads from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

[Vision]

Weather reports were calling for rain the last few days and nothing showed up. Ruined my bbq plans.

[Vision]

Freakin’ car broke down again but everything should be fine now. No bbq this weekend but I did make some pepper stout beef.

[WXRGina]

Bless your heart! Car troubles are something I always dread. A good-running car is such a blessing from the Lord.

What is the pepper stout beef? I’m sure it’s good!

We’re slow-smoking some pork ribs that have been soaked all day in a marinade Keith whipped up off the cuff—teriyaki sauce and other seasonings and stuff.

[Vision]

Nice, St. Louis cut?

I’ll email you the recipe.

[WXRGina]

Yes, St. Louis. Thanks!

It’s weird to hear “Chester” as a bad guy.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

We had rain today and a lot last night.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

We had rain today and a lot last night.

[Vision]

Agreed. But what a voice.

[WXRGina]

I like that guy, Mr. Baer!

From the start I thought the “bad guy” was the zipper salesman, and that was right!

[Vision]

I've been seeing these lines of storms come up the ohio valley and move up the NE. We miss most of them here. But I imagine you've been hit well the last week.

[Vision]

Women's intuition.

[WXRGina]

It’s good to get rain. We’ve had quite a bit recently, too, but I surely wish I could share some of ours with the dry parts of the nation that need it so badly (my family’s area out in West Texas, for instance). :-/

[WXRGina]

UNPRECEDENTED! When has Joe EVER invited a lady home to meet his Mom?! :-)

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Going to Chick Fil A this week. Discovered we have one about 30 min away!

[WXRGina]

Excellent, Doc! You’re going to drive for half an hour to show your support!

This was the subject of my Thursday column: http://www.americanclarion.com/10441/2012/07/26/lets-celebrate-chick-fil-a-appreciation-day/

GO, CHICK-FIL-A!!!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

We would have gone there today after church if they were open. We go to a variety of diners every Sunday after church...;)

[Vision]

Yea you're right, never.

He goes on a date occasionally.

[Vision]

Good for you. Their chocolate milkshake is good. Give us a report next week.

[WXRGina]

His Mom, bless her heart, was jealous of the girl. After all, he’s 31, and he’s been her baby all that time...

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Will do...
I warned my husband there might be protestors.
Liberals actually hate freedom of speech.

[Vision]

Yep.

[Vision]

Your favorite commercial.

[Vision]

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation.
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Amen...

[WXRGina]

Yes, it is a heap good ad.

[WXRGina]

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

For now, YES!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Last night I discovered on Facebook that a relative of mine likes B.O. and is going to vote for him. Then today I learned that a woman I know who leads a conservative lifestyle went to see Biden when he came to this area.

[Vision]

There are socialists everywhere and it’s time they are called on it. I have them in my family.

[WXRGina]

I can’t imagine that anyone with even one eye half-open could not see that communism is a bad thing, and that there’s a communist in the White House.

[Vision]

I love Jimmy Stewart like he is my brother, uncle.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

These two people I just referred to have actually shocked me. I would never have thought they would vote for b.o. It’s disheartening. The guy is like a mass hypnotist to the uninformed.

[Vision]

He manipulates their emotions and with the media running cover many never see who he really is.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I can’t imagine that anyone with even one eye half-open could not see that communism is a bad thing, and that there’s a communist in the White House.

I personally know other supposedly intelligent people who support b.o. I've gotten in arguments with old friends.

[Vision]

My theory is BO is so successful manipulating people because people are naive. They simply can't comprehend the depth of evil in Obama. Their senses can't process a reality where someone who projects this new age energy can be destructive and literally hates America as founded and it's current state.
