We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Saddam's former Air Defense Chief, the former head of Military Intelligence, and two others are in custody this morning.
A homicide bomber kills one in Israel.
Former POWs have now left a Texas medical center.
Missing pilot Michael Spicher's initials were found carved into the wall of a Baghdad prison wall.
And Sec'y Powell says France will not get off scot free for opposing our war effort.
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!!
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
A little warmer weather here, today.
Those muscle relaxers must have knocked the common sense right out of you. LOL
Back Later....:-)
The geese are migrating through, and heading to Canada.
I've counted at least 40 flocks heading North over the past two mornings.
Gorgeous weather abounds with bright blue skies, and temps. in the low 60's. Perfect early spring weather.
The daffodils are sprouting, and the trees are starting to pop those buds.
The trout are becoming more active in the streams, and opening of fishing is just a week away!
Ahh... spring!
There are hundreds of thousands of Canada geese in Central Indiana, almost all on small retention ponds in subdivisions and apartment complexes. I had two sitting on the roof of my house last week!
FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT AROUND IN 1957, SEE WHAT YOU MISSED!!!
Remember this?
The following were some comments made in the year 1957:
(1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00."
(2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5000 will only buy a used one."
(3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
(4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
(5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
(6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage,"
(7) "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it
impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls,"
(8) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone With The Wind", it seems every new movie has either Hell or damn in it."
(9) "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
(10) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President."
(11) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
(12) "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
(13) "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
(14) "Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorces at the drop of a hat."
(15) "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."
(16) "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress."
(17) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I
seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
(18) "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
(19) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."
I sure do remember all this stuff. Do I hear, "OVER THE HILL?"
