We could even dust off that “Letters of Marque” section of the Constitution and let him go collect from Mexico himself!

The Paulies would totally love that.

There I think we’ve reunited the entire right.

What problem should we solve next?

If he had served 92 days in the Pacific during WWII, would John Kerry be raving about his Japtance time in the military?

Long day, but I managed to collect on a completed job, pay the guys and have enough left for next week’s groceries-no extras, though...

The party Hillary believes
Owes her a fine coronation
Is being spooked by scandals
And the possible incarceration

Of Bill’s bitchy, haughty wife
And what the polls are showing
Rumor says Al Gore is spoken of-
Is that now where they’re going?

With all of his homes and planes
His jactance and unstable ways-
If liberals are that desperate now
They may have numbered their days...

Having work and getting paid for it is one of my favorite things-both necessary and pleasing...

Thank you! So how was the reunion-I hope all went just great, and the food was enjoyed...

I went hiking early this morning by the river to avoid the daytrippers-they don’t show up until 9-10AM, as a rule-on the trail, I ran into a neighbor who had the same idea. She told me that someone who lived 2 roads away is believed to have drowned a few days ago-found in the water after going fishing at the river the evening before.

It is really unusual for someone who lives here to drown-most people are familiar with living in a remote area with woods and the river, and keep their wits about them-so an investigation is being done to rule out foul play. I hope it is just a case of the person maybe stepping on a loose rock and winding up in swift water, or something like that-the thought of someone stalking and harming people who are just fishing, etc is chilling. The “drowning season” ends in about a month, when the day tourists go away until next year-I look forward to that...
