[The Mayor]

How have people in your area reacted to last night's debate.
I think she proved herself and hope others saw that as well.

Interesting question, especially here in deep blue country. So far everyone thinks she did well or held her own which is really good news. It went from calling Sarah stupid to well, I guess she isn't dumb. DUH!

I was given a heads up by a friend that works at channel 4 that everyone there says she's stupid so, while I was in studio I was working overtime to educate all I could. The proof was right there on the dozen or so TV's in the Newsroom.

The best part came when I was interviewed live on the air twice. I came right out and said, "So much for people being told Sarah is stupid, she has held her own and in many cases Palin has put Biden against the ropes on issues. Biden has even said he is old and won't change, so if you are looking for change Vote for Palin because in Bidens word he is not change.".

Sp needless to say I think I made some headway in the Newsroom and in the Buffalo area. Many people agreed. It's tough out here on the streets.

Leisure

A boulevard of graceful trees,
A life of leisure, if you please,
Why do we think of long ago,
When into kitchens you might go,

Or into pantries, and the hall,
Whose closets -- We have filled them all!
With magic things, machines and such,
Mylady may need only touch,

A button here, a lever there,
And quickly from the merest air,
A demon vaults to do what’s bid,
Which moments ere was safely hid.

And to her bidding doth he spring,
In midst of which, the phone may ring.
The work delayed, all is not lost,
The time we saved is worth the cost.

So we have more of it right now,
We’ll find a way to spend somehow.
We’ll chatter endlessly anon,
And soon enough, the day is gone.

We have so much, we choose to waste,
Our lives in ever growing haste.
The drive-thru near the mall is slow,
So quiet meals we must forego.

The labor-saving that we do,
Was meant to trim an hour or two,
Instead of time in which we thrive,
We spend it in the “Rush Hour” drive.

Rus ... it seems that many people are so gullible that they
accept the MSM’s portrayal of Sarah as fact.

It is hard to judge the reaction here. The only people that I have frequent contact with are conservative. Our local talk radio listeners are conservative for the most part. KMJ radio callers overwhelmingly thought Sarah won the debate hands down.

Hi rus.. I was hoping you would give a report. I was hosting a thread & also streaming one site & watching another on TV so wasn’t able to get there but was hoping you would be well.

Hi Amy & everyone - it is a perfectly lovely day here. & I need to get away from this computer.. cool but sunny. Going to band show tonight (10 marching bands) and no rain or snow & temps quite tolerable.

Hope all will consider getting to see movie American Carol this weekend (it is a critical weekend for movie for box office). It is a conservative movie that is satire/parody on Michael Moore & a lot of related topics. I saw it yesterday afternoon & the theater for matinee was only 1/3 full (next one sold out) but they all loved it & clapped wildly at end & laughed during movie.

I have been cooking on & off between doing the computer “stuff”.. made actually meals for mom.. cook & have 3 or 4 other meals per dish to freeze. Made one a Beanie /weenie combo (good weenies, homemade pork /beans/onions, garlic, spaghetti 0s. Also made up a batch of Been chop suey from scratch for her.

I am stumbling along trying to learn about several things today. I want to keep my ability to play CDs on small boom boxes. They are harder to find I am learning.

I also found out that I am making the CDs with the wrong suffix.. should convert to WMA form from MP3 to play elsewhere other than computer

Also trying to learn about the NO NO places to link articles etc. I posted a movie thread & somehow screwed up on it..

Life is a continual education it seems..

One of our kitties is dying. Not old but has what I suspect is feline AIDES or Leukemia. She did have shots but sometimes they already have it from mom. This was a stray that showed up this spring. Pretty long haired small black.. very sweet.
