Thank you for welcome & for the ping last night Iowa. (and my confusion on posts Cybil vs girlie men.
I know there are lots of good places at FR & I basically don't like the ones of heaving fighting (or spirited discussion - depending on your take). Like the facts & various peoples takes on issues, but some folks just beat an issue to death ..
Ride from our "discussion" the other day, I think we might both like it here.. (maybe you have already visited)
Betty - are you a surfer (in water) ?
BWB: Check out these photos of W today in Fla...Picture #1, the lady is clearly distraught...Picture #2, she is much better after W has hugged her and kept her by his side for a few minutes. Shudder to think if Reno had beaten Jeb and how she would have reacted to all the hurricanes!!She would have fled the state and blamed Bush...


Funny how these days we have to specify. Yes, before I found politics it was my favorite extra curricular activity.
I'm a bit bummed out (a little surfer lingo there for ya) that I haven't been able to go surfing at all because of the hurricanes. Back in the good old days, when hurricanes would usually just float by and make big waves for us on the East Coast, we (Mr. B surfs too) could have some fun but unfortunately these days they're are getting up close and personal. Surfing is much more fun than getting ready for and then cleaning up after hurricanes. But our family has been extremely lucky that we've not had any serious damage to our home, unlike many folks. I'm grateful I have the luxury of being a "bit bummed" over such frivolousness instead of wondering where we're going to live.

Just so I can remember what surfing looks like. :-)
