We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
The bombings in Dahab appear to have been targeted at westerners, possibly coupled to The Evil One's taped message. Among the 23 dead, there were 20 Egyptians.
President Bush has ordered an investigation into whether gas prices have been illegally manipulated in recent weeks.
Israel has called Iran the "worst threat to Jews since Hitler."
A man in Hayward, CA, was rescued from a chimney in which he was stuck, totally naked. He had locked himself out of the house and decided to get in through the chimney, stripping his clothes off because, he says, it would reduce the friction. Police have arrested the man on suspicions of being under the influence of drugs.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
The salary caps and the Colts budget made keeping him unlikely. I hate to see him go. We will see what develops. It sure would be good to have a season like last season...except I would like to get to the Super Bowl.
From the weather maps it looks like you were getting storms on top of storms.
Since it is too cold for me and my bad knee to be outside today, I am going to clean. I won't get anything done, however, until the announcement about Tony Snow is made.
I am SO excited about this! I had quite a nice discussion with him one day on something we disagreed on, and I would wish that ALL freepers could handle disagreement like that! I have a great deal of respect for him and I think he will do a great job.
Are you talking about football?
31 degrees here. I think I better knit that little hummer a sweater.
Our hummingbirds are here but aren't as plentiful as other years. Each year, the first one I see is sort of the way you saw yours. Something buzzes by that's just too big to be a bumblebee but too fast to be sure it's a hummingbird.
I was on the veranda two days ago talking on the phone to my niece and two big woodpeckers were flying and fighting with each other and headed right toward me! I was too scared to even yell but just ducked my head instead and dropped the phone!
Good to be prepared.
What a day yesterday was for me....computer froze up, called long distance to computer expert son who walked me through fixing it, TV messed up, tried and tried to get it going, called repairman who fixed it, got a haircut, bought more seed (green beans, okra, and onion bulbettes),mulched all my garden before the thunderstorm (didn't get to the lawn mowing), watched American Idol until claps of lightning and thunder made it dangerous so w/everything electrical turned off...read book by battery-operated lamp, bed and zzzz w/thoughts of "Tomorrow is another day."
This morning wwhile I was pouring my coffee I saw a Mourning Dove couple at our feeder. I love those birds. They are so sweet and gentle.
Yes, indeed, I am talking about football! You'd better bookmark it, because I don't do so very often. LOL!
My Bleeding Heart was blooming. It is planted close to the East side of the House, so perhaps it was spared. I should be able to determine the damage by noon.
Going to get some stuff done. BBL.
I know certain, perhaps all, bleeding hearts will get a 2nd bloom if deadheaded. I don't bother deadheading. I cut them back about 12 inches and I get a 2nd bloom.
I like morning doves too; they're so sweet.
When we lived in CT, mother's day was when we put our hummingbird feeders out too, but in the south, everything is at least a month earlier.
We're going to get those thunderstorms later today that you had yesterday, I think, Carolina.
Last night we went to a drop in for a guy running against our state Representative who I have never liked. He's the kind of guy who, when he meets a woman, talks to and ogles her chest. Ick.
Lindsey Graham's name came up and everyone in the room shook their heads and said things like "He's McCain lite" and "He's running to be McCain's VP". I thought I was in a room of freepers. LOL
Well said!
