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!!
A reading from the First Book of Climaticus, beginning at the fourteenth verse of the Third Chapter:
14 - And so it was that the Lord looketh down upon the Eastern dwellers and observed the state of their activities.
15 - In a town upon the Potomac that goest by the name of Washington, the Lord noticed much activity and much consternation.
16 - The Lord noted there were of His kind which had foresaken the message and imputed that they, his children, were capable of usurping His province and were of thinking they, themselves but small and tiny creatures, were capable of controlling the majesty of the heavens.
17 - These kind referred to themselves as Democrats and Liberals, or a kind taken to referring to all changes in such things as the weather issues that were the results of their own activities.
18 - The Liberals referred to the product of His children by such names as Global Warming and Climate Change, but by all their nature they were saying the children of God were now capable of controlling God's work themselves.
19 - So the Lord sought to provide a message, a message that would surely humble His children and have them understand the power of His Almighty Hand.
20 - God looketh down upon the city on the Potomac and pondered what would be best for these folks, and he remembered the Great Flood once unleashed upon the land.
21 - In His ponderings, God did remember the Promise provided to His children after the Great Flood insofar as He indicated such an act would never again be visited upon the land.
22 - It was decided, however, that a small taste of the Great Flood might serve as a sufficient reminder that it is He and He alone that governs the heavens and controls the weather.
23 - So God decided that it would be visited upon the city on the Potomac and neighboring environs where the kind called Liberals frequent a continous rain, the rain lasting for not just forty days and forty nights, but until the population who had forgotten His message would be unable to remember days with sunshine.
24 - Thus the rains began, and the rains continued. Each day was visited upon the city on the Potomac more waters from the heavens.
25 - The waters issued forth in white form, in ice form, and in liquid form, but the waters came. And the children of God took notice, but those who called themselves Liberal continued to mock the work of the Lord, saying this, too, was the result of the activity of mere people.
26 - The people called Liberals ranted, and they raved. They took to the streets, and the yelled from the rooftops. Notice us, listen to us, they cried, all of this rain is the result of years upon years of human existance.
26 - But the children of God no longer listened, for they had understood all along that climate was the work of the Lord.
27 - The Children of God had come to notice, and so hath the Lord himself, the Liberals were all wet.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
A small rodent has damaged the phone wiring in the attic. Tonight, after a 97 degree day, or whatever it was, I get to crawl around in the attic that is more like an oven.
I'm going to run new wiring from the outside box by pulling with the old wiring. (crossing fingers) Trill and I have our handi-talkies charged for the purpose.
It does seem like overkill though, to use expensive 4-band (50 mHz, 144 mHz, 440 mHz, and 1200 mHz) handi-talkies that, under the correct conditions, and with repeaters can let me communicate for probably 60 miles to talk across a space of about 100 ft. ;>)
We'll turn the power down to about 50 mW and work on 1.2 gHz. Try not to burn up too much bandwidth. 8>)

You can get an idea of what it is here at:www.swfoodexpo.com.
Chef got us VIP admission for free. I've already got my badge. I look forward to the free food, goodies, and (of course) the occasional free beer. ;>)

What a sicko. Kind of reminds me of Bubba.
So...you think these are Kerry's Flip Flops?
Good night, my friends. See you in the morning.

Around food service people, excitment usually involves alchohol and someone being arrested. I'm sure there will be some of that at this show too, but I don't intend to be near anything/anyone that is exciting.
I'll settle for a good time. ;>)
I've got a ride-share buddy lined up to share the $12 valet fee so we don't have to pay the $5-$15 parking fees and have to walk several blocks with the bag full of samples, brochures and stuff that one always brings home from a trade show.

Kucinich for Prez
If it were in your hands to stop war, eradicate terrorism, save the environment, improve education, provide adequate health care for all Americans, demand corporate responsibility, end unemployment and inject common sense into the drug war, would you make the effort?
When something sounds too good to be true, I may be the world's greatest skeptic. But after much reading and weighing of the facts, I believe it's fair to say that all the above, and more, is entirely possible, by supporting Dennis Kucinich in his bid for the presidency. Here is one candidate who appears willing and able to apply the light of reason to government policy. At this critical point in the history of life on Earth, I cannot think of a more important subject to become familiar with.
