First, gentle reader, go here and sign up on Grassfire, a grass-roots organization that allows you to indicate your level of interest in which areas, and you will receive updates and opportunities to fax your representatives.

I’ve made the dump run, and I’m almost finished with the plastering in the bathroom. Next, I need to run to a home improvement store (my favorite rhymes with doughs) and get some makin’s for a couple of sandwich board signs. I am on the board for my HOA, and we use the signs to announce things like meetings, community yard sales, etc. Two of the four I originally made were stolen while we were in a meeting, so I need to replace those; plus this weekend is a yard sale and I need to put the signs out for that.

I think I’ll do the baseboard tomorrow, and finish up the bathroom as much as possible then.

God bless and keep you all.

The boss (my new boss, that lets me work at home) had a series of events yesterday that was a bit much, even for his stalwart Italian demeanor. So, he’s putting out fires and told me to take some vacation days.

Hmm. What to do with myself?

Let’s see – finish the baseboard, make a dump run, clean out the train room/office, call about landscape gravel, call about getting a wall extension built, dig holes for new trees, finish the bathroom remodel – nope, nothing to do here. I think I’ll go play PS2 for a while…

God bless you all, and be sure to thank President Bush for making it tougher to get any kind of wage increase!

I probably should have mentioned that I usually don’t touch the computer on the weekends. If you posted a comment over the weekend, since I have moderation turned on, it didn’t get posted until this morning. I’ll see what I can do about that little bit of nagging inconvenience.

Did you have a good Mother’s Day weekend? I think my weekend was too short, as is usually the case. I called my mother, and left a message, but I didn’t hear back from her. Mom’s not really fond of my wife (called her the devil, actually) and communication has been … strained … since the wedding. Mom’s loss. TMBWitW is really very loving, and was looking forward to having a mother figure in her life again. Mom’s remark kind of put the kibosh on that.

Anyway – we spent the weekend with adopted family, which is really cool, since you know you get along with and really really like the family you pick. we also attended two birthday parties, which blew the diet out the window (like I’m going to refuse cake AND ice cream? get a grip!) but I am being good again as of this morning.

By the way – go to this site and register, then start bombarding your ignorant representatives about their lack of knowledge on the whole “let’s give away our country” program that Bush is trying to sell. Don’t believe the smoke and mirrors he will probably use this evening to push the “enforcement” side of the program; the amnesty is still there with all it’s ugly ramifications.

God bless you all and keep you safe.

So busy, in fact, that I almost didn’t have time to pop this little entry on you unsuspecting folk.

One quick question for general discussion, and I’ll let you go:

When the muslims all trigger at the same time, as insinuated by the closing phrase in ahmadimjac’s “letter” to Prsident Bush, what will the lefties do? Will they insist we listen to what they say, or will they wish more of us were saying “hand me another clip, bro…”?

Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition…

First, go read this, then come back here. Ready? I had the idea from the opening sentences of the (translated) letter that Iran’s President was going to declare war on the US. Now, all you liberals, go ahead and surf on to the next blog ‘cause I know you’re not going to want to hear the next bit:

Bush needs to preemptively strike. Now. I don’t know how much more clearly it needs to be stated that Iran is bent on waging a war with the US, and, as a bonus for them, I am sure they will claim that Israel would be “tragically in the way” when Iran strikes.

For crying out loud, can we please do something this time without being vilified as a “thug” or a “cowboy” out to boost ratings?

My prayers are with the men and the women in the armed forces who will be taking the brunt of this next blow. May God bless you all, and may He also protect those of us in the rear.

Man, the Marines are too stringent about the age thing.
