Had you rather have your children grow up in a country like this or one in the Middle east. I hope we can help them.

Yep, I had to wake him up and make him get to work. Then we went off to the zoo.
To: SAMWolf
Hi Sam!!! You there? Life isn't the same without you around. I need a butt to kick, LOL!!!
To: Victoria Delsoul
Good afternoon Victoria, like SAM said we just got back from a last minute decision to run off to the zoo. It was great. We hope to post some pictures later today, but we are both really tired and still have dinner to make and dishes to wash. lol. And I have a thread to finish up.
To: Victoria Delsoul
He's sitting right behind me. Making plans for the rest of the week, his wife is helping us with the weather forecast from the local paper so we know which day trip to take when. I have to work on my thread so I have the computer right now. lol.
To: snippy_about_it
I love the zoo, too, and I'd love to see some pics as well. But don't work too hard, we can always keep posting on the same thread for a couple of days.
To: Victoria Delsoul
Oh no, SAM wouldn't hear of it. It will be somewhat abbreviated but it will still be the news thread.
To: snippy_about_it
Okey dokey, okey pokey. :-D
To: Victoria Delsoul
LOL! And mine is sooooooooooooo kickable right?

IN GRATITUDE
When I consider the blessings
day after day
I, in gratitude gather them in like hay
and store them in a sacred place
my soul sanctuary ...without
a trace of anger or resentment
or hatred black... those things gone
for they lack the joy of loving
I do not hold the resentment card
before the fold...
God is Good and light is bold
his tender mercies to behold...
Thank You Lord for this new day
you've given me and asked no pay...

Today's thread looks fascinating. I had a long busy day and now I have to go to bed. I'm going to get up early tomorrow and read it. I'm not familiar with this bit of history.
Thanks for the hard work. I hope you are having a good time enjoying Snips. Give her my hello's.
Good night Victoria. Have a good day tomorrow.

Along the way back Lewis and Clark stopped again at the Nez Perce village, which had helped them back to health after their trip over the Bitterroots.
[The chief of the Nez Perce] "said that the whitemen might be assured of their warmest attachment and that they would always give them every assistance in their power; that they were poor, but their hearts were good...they are the most hospitable, honest and sincere people we have met with in our voyage." 3
-Meriwether Lewis

Nez Perce Chief Joseph, one of the most famous tribal leaders in American history. His surrender speech included the poetic phrase, "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

All in all a very bad show. Hysteria and "journalists" leading to shameful acts.
The self-righteous yuppies with Free Tibet bumper stickers will vote for Hillary--
--though she (as copresident) made China a nuclear hegemon astride more than a billion subjects.
The loss of the Tibetan culture would be (Churchill was here first) the lights going out in Asia.
May the arrows of Hitlery and Hu fall short--if not circuit the orb to jab them in the butt.
