Did you have an exhibit at the fair?

Hi Kathy. I am off today, first day in more than three weeks. That means "yes, I had an exhibit at the fair."

How are you doing? since we don't get to chat much anymore.

I am overwhelmed by the love and control, gentleness and compassion and resolutness our Military has displayed during this rescue mission along The Gulf Coast region.

I am thankful...Lord how thankful........ that we have our President in office right now!

May President Bush be blessed with courage and boldness, as he leads this Nation against the evil that seeks to bring him down!

The lil stinker is still there. None of the state & local agencies will come get it. I found some organizations that will but they wanna charge me $250.00! Pahleeeeese!

I've been instructed to make it's living arrangments unbearable via psychological warfare using lights, sound & smell. I figured I'd put a radio in there & crank up some Air America.....yup...that ought to do it!
