WICHITA, Kan. - Brandon Mayfield's children got their Spanish homework back from federal terrorism investigators.
YUP.
TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TOCK
That rat Martha Raditz has been pushing the story for days now on ABC radio. She sickens me. She is always giving away troop movements and exact arrival times of officials in IRAQ. She should be arrested.
Now those links got my attention. I don't think that I have ever had a reason to use the nitrous gas, never.
But I sure as thunder have some of the symptoms.
I no longer drive, as I pass out. I ever so often wake up and am too dizzy to walk, for a matter of hours.
Doc says age and blood pressure.
It's amazing the fifth columnists we have today who are just allowed to go on their merry way.
Nothing is done about them any longer.
I'm between despair and, well, despair...
This hour, Coast to Coast has a guest that will talk about Disease and how it TRAVELS...........
I have no idea if we need his info or now, but will give it a little listen.
Do you guys remember the dog disease threat? This story was on the LA news tonight. One lady said the dog came down with pus pockets on it's stomach within 3 days and died soon after. Another said the puppy came down with mange and she had to disinfect her whole house, bleaching everything, sheets, clothing everything!!! Children were itching had to put something in their hair. Another Yuck!!

Sick-Puppy Smuggling Is 'Epidemic,' Say Officials
Local Families Pay Hundreds Of Dollars For Animals
Sick puppies are being smuggled over the border and into the United States, then sold to San Diego families for hundreds of dollars, reported NBC 7/39.
The Humane Society says the smugglers don't care about the puppies -- they just care about the money.
Animal-control officer Mary Hoefort said a litter of puppies had recently been confiscated from a smuggler at the border
"She brought them from [Tijuana, Mexico,], didn't have any paperwork that they've been vaccinated," said Hoefort.
Last week, South County Animal Shelter picked up 34 Chihuahuas from a different smuggler.
"It ended up that many of them were sick and not being cared for," said Lt. Tom Ignacio.
Some of those puppies were so sick from diseases like distemper that they died a few days later, according to NBC 7/39.
"That cute little puppy can cost you thousands of dollars and a broken heart," said Mike Griffin, a San Diego Humane Society agent.
The Humane Society calls the smuggling problem an epidemic, saying that dozens of sick or dying puppies are being smuggled across the border on a daily basis, then sold for hundreds of dollars to unknowing families.
"These puppies are dying left and right," said Griffin. "These people are making a very big profit."
Investigators told NBC 7/39 that the dogs are being sold at places like shopping-center parking lots and are being advertised for sale in local newspapers.
"These [smugglers] are using disposable cell phones," said Griffin. "You can't track them. I'm literally chasing ghosts."
Griffin said that the smuggled puppies are being sold all over the state and in Nevada.
"It seems that it's the new way to make money," said Griffin. "It's almost better than selling drugs."
Griffin said that most people in the market for a puppy need to be aware of the following red flags:
Puppies being sold out of a car
Sellers who won't let you see the puppy's mother
Sellers who want to meet in places like gas stations or parking lots

I live in Idaho, but I'm working near Wilsonville, AL this week. I'm trying a new gig as "mosquito cuisine". My co-worker insisted on working until well after sunset this evening on the coal cars. The steamy Alabama night included lots of mosquitos and a really delightful show of fireflies.
The town of Preston is about 70 miles south of my town.
Just heard on our news tonight that they found mosquitos with West Nile Virus here. They're out passing flyers around how to protect yourself.
As if I wasn't itching enough already from the Idaho story, the dog disease story and now mosquitos.
I better try to get some sleep. Goodnight all.
Life is stranger than fiction sometimes. Yes there are a lot of them around Sacramento and Oakland.
The C to C interview is good, the history of diseases so far and is being done as a real interview with a real doctor.
Lots of history of the old diseases.
TB is much worse than most know.
Most of the Deli workers in New York are illegals with diseases.
Die you see the Salinas Calif fire, it was on the reg. F.R. thread list.
