Evening, Vision.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Evening. How’s everything?

Thanx again, Vision !

Oh, status quo at this late hour. The wife and two Dachshunds are asleep on the bed behind me, the third is curled up on her blanket on the cedar chest next to me. Spent way too much time in the sun and heat working in the yard yesterday, and slept most of the day today because of it. Eight hours of 90 degree heat will do that eventually. Starting to get a little older, I guess, but we're all cozy, and here I'm among friends. How are things with you?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Nothing all that new, which is good.
