A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

I know what you mean. Last night I had a chocolate bar, the real stuff. Woke up this morning and seriously considered just staying there in bed all day. Oh but at the time it was worth it.

Can't wait until the new chocolate bars with no sugar alcohols reach my neck of the woods so I can have one on occasion without the nasty hang over.

Day started off with fog, but ended up at 78 by mid day.

Lots of people were driving all over the place with gas at $2.65 a gallon...GO FIGURE!

It's nice out here right now.

Where, (pray, tell) is "THERE?"

India: New Delhi and Bangalore. Will be interesting.

Celebrating a bit today. Yesterday was the cutoff for bills to be voted out of committee in our state legislature, so I went online this morning to see what had passed and what hadn't.

To my surprise, every bill I had commented on had either died in committee or had been (massively) re-written, with all my concerns but one removed. And the goodwife explained the history behind that one, which she learned on her last trip to Olympia, so I am standing down on that.

They'll still bear watching, but essentially for this session, I am done!! (I have a few thank-you letters to send as followup, but that's all.)

LOL!
But then, you live in a country where they have hot and cold running beer, so I'm not surprised.

I was amazed that I could have fun when I wasn't drinking. My troublt now is that I just like the TASTE!

Gas is at $2.43 average here, but since I'm getting 22 in town and 26 on the road, I won't complain too much. I hate to see a 12 gallon tank take my groceries for a week, though...

(The oil companies are nothing but pirates.)

We hit a balmy 83 today! Clear skies.

Aiiiee! We had a November storm today. High winds, spotty rain, trees down, power out. I lost of lot of time I'd earmarked for catching up on some things online due to the power being out here.

I know you told me...I just have this problem with my memory...*sigh*

I actually envy you the trip. Not necessarily what you have to DO on it, but still ~~ I like to travel...

I drive a HUGE vehicle that gets about 11 mph!

I try to do a lot of down hill driving. :)

I wasn't doing too bad today, sion. I'm beginning to tire, now, which means it WAY past my bedtime.

It's good to see you again. ;o] As opposed to being like two ships passing in the night.

YES!
If this keeps up, I'll have to get my summer clothes back out, and buy some suntan lotion. The pool is starting to look really good! (It has a heater!)
