Amnesty –> NO!

I love you Don Surber!  At least, I love the post you have titled Amnesty Bill Death Watch. 
I wish I had the time to chase all these things.  Thank g-d for people like Don, who not only have time, but get paid for a lot of it!
Any bill, and I mean ANY BILL that allows [...]

Commonalities …

So, what do these two have in common?   
Well, they are both rich white guys who tell you how you should live, but don’t live that way themselves.  And …
 neither one has a neck!

Hurry Up and Wait

I just can’t pass up the opportunity to speak my piece on this stupid table games legislation mess in WV. 
Our wonderful Legislature passed legislation to allow four of 55 counties to vote on allowing table games at racetracks/casinos.  I don’t like it. 
I don’t like the idea of feasting off the poorest, most uneducated in our [...]

Drinking (More) Coffee in Bed

Well, I’ve had a lot more caffeine than I usually do.  I usually have zero!  I’ve basically been decaffeinated for several years.  About the only caffeine I normally have is in a glass of tea or an occassional Diet Coke.  I cut it out when I started cutting out sodium and changing my eating habits.  [...]

Drinking Coffee in Bed

Ok, there is something I can’t understand going on in state government. [There's lots I don't understand about state government, but this is just one item.]
The Department of Administration houses the oversight of the purchasing process and the State Auditor oversee’s the proper use of the state purchasing card.  So how in g-d’s name can [...]

Touching Base

Well, as I sit here with my notebook, nursing a really bad headache  and upset stomach, it dawns on me that I have never written a post discussing any of the bloggers I read.  I’ve noticed that once in a while others will blog and highlight others they read.  I’m not real savy on this [...]

The Photos

Ok.  For lack of time and because I was “coerced” into posting some photos, I submit these for your consideration.  But I am disappointed.  The captions aren’t showing up.  I won’t have time to work on those for a while.  The dogwood and kitten are pretty self explainatory.  The piggie’s photo was taken in January [...]

Sons Do Grow Up

I guess it’s my day for feeling melancholy. 
I’m here with my laptop.  I should be asleep, or at least working on school work.  But the music on the XM is dragging me into the world of emotion.  I’m thinking of thing I used to do when I was in high school, when these songs were [...]

The Music

Wow.  Flip the tub over to XM TV and WHAM!!  Flashback.  Paul McCartney Band On The Run.  Reminds me of Cleveland.  Oh — not like you think.  My half-sister was raised by my aunt and they lived in Cleveland.  My aunt died a long time ago and my half-sister moved here.  That song used to [...]
