There has been a lot of life hapening since I last posted, and not all of it pleeasant. My eldest g'child, Katty Marie graduated from h.s. & had her openhouse at her fiances place, tons-o-people there. She & her cousin Tegan (T-bird)are discussing a double wedding. That would be grand! On the other hand, we lost a dear friend, Rob Amps, at the age of only 48. He died in our house.He was a friend,companion and helper. (He was on the lease, haing lived with us for years.) It was in the bathroom, and we had to move, and fast! We just could'nt get any sleep & rest after that, and none of our grandkids would come for a visit anymore. So we are now living in a trailer park, it's nice & quiet out here in Clarkston, and we'll own it in a couple of years. The cats are still doing well, both are so spoiled, my own old Sweetypie Fluffypants is getting old, sometimes forgets where the litterbox is, and likes to stay outdoors during the day. Young Coco the black tom, likes to stay our at night and sleep on our bed in the daytime. They both think they own us. Otherwise, things are doing well enough; we have our health and keep busy - I'm working on a commentary on Psalm 119. A little at a time, jut about every day.

I tried looking up 'susquatch' & then 'bigfoot' on the net, but couldn't get through to anyone or thing. I also looked up 'neanderthal' on the net. I's amazing to me that they're so alike that no one has made th connecdtion that maybe they're the same thing? Face it, they look a lot alike, and lived in remote areas, far away from us 'modern' humans. With good instincts and verbal culture they could stay far away from civilisation if thy wanted to. They only are sighted in wild, remote places anyway. What better place to hide out?

The southern states that are seeing the crude wash up on their beaches are having to fight on two fronts; one against the oil, and the other, against the federal buracracy & red tape. They could have protected themselves except that between the Fed regulations & the invio-nuts their hands are tied. (I use Google gadgets and one is a news service, so this is my source.) I just wonder that the govenors don't call out the state melitia, all of them, and put 1/2 to work on the beaches, and the other on armed patrol alert, with the orders to politely but firmly escort any idiots out of the state, while they do what needs done to clean up the place. In other words, go ahead and get the job done, and let the idiots squack! Not a full secession, just telling folks to stay out of peoples way while the real work is getting done. There will be plenty of time for litigation when the job is done. Nothing like a "fait - accompli" I say, it is esier to beg forgiveness than get permission.
While I'm on a roll about this, I wonder just how much BP is losing from the oil not going into the pipeline? What is it; $100 / bbl? And NObama (turned down help from other countries with the tools & expertise to help) seems to think that they have bottomless pockets, which may seem close to he truch, but they can't print it like the Fed does! I'm sure that this isn't going to help their bottom lne;and like t or not mr prez - a business is in business to make money! I'm sure you believe this is or should be a crime against humanity, but the profit motive drives most of human advancemen, and has since before there was money!
I tried to find out what the price of crude was & couldn't figure it out, too much info, and while BP does have a website (it seems like everybody & their dg does these days) there was no way I could figure out to ask them the same question! Well, that's about it for now. Have agood day y'all, & dont let the b@@@@@@s get you down. non carborendum illigitimi.

It's a nice day out, my daughter Carrol is over having a yard sale, raising $$$ to help support HER daughters openhouse! My how time flies. Katty graduates in a very little while. It seems like not that long ago she was very little, and climbing into my lap for a round of lullabyes when I got home from the 2nd shift @ GM! Now she's an "official" adult, has been living on her own for a while. (family problems, not her fault) and her mom is already calling her beau a son-in-law. Ouch. Makes me feel old!
Our "glorious leader" has appointed 2 devout muslims to the offices of homeland security. This is like letting the fox guard the henhouse, letting the wolf guard the sheep. Typical of the blithering idiots in DC (Dist of Criminals) I say. So insulated and arrogant they think they can do no wrong, and if anyone dares question them, call them racist.
For an informative article go to www.humanaffairs/raraza. It shows what the chicano invasion is really about. I totaly agree with what's being dopne in Ariz. - if the fed does or will not do it's duty then it devolves to the state. Put the illegals on a bus to LA or NY City - with flyers (in spanish of course) telling them where & how to get the benefits they want. That's more humane than what I'd do for drug dealers; which would be to fly them back to Mexice and de-plane them at 10,000 ft. That could work for terrorists too.
So - BP has finally managed to begin to shut off the undersea gusher. Good for them. Accidents do happen, and this one was a mile underwater. And the fed had no hand in it other than the usual one, finger pointing and blaming! Just what did they do anyway? Send Homeland Security and lawyers? BP got engineers and folks who knew what they were doing to stop it!
Obama did his usual posturing and posing, thought he's way too cool to get excited about something like that. It's his Katrina. Or will be. A real leader would have got on the phone and asked what the gov't could do the help the real experts, the guys & gals on the job. I wouldn't let a mechanic work on my appendix, or a physician work on my auto, but those "in power" (for a SHORT time) think they can solve any problem in the same old way, finger pointing, poaturing, and throwing up mountains of red tape.
We are going to visit my other daughter today, just accrost town, Geanna & John have 10 kids, the latest Jayden Jewel is only her 3rd girl in a tribe of boys. Love'em all. What's a gradpa to do? I enjoly holdinng the latest ones, seeing how they've grown, (so fast!) and swimming in the family gene pool. Have a good day folks.

It's Monday! Back to work. ( is this you?)
Ecc 9:10 Whatever presents itself for you to do, do it with all your might, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or skill in the grave where you're going. (Gods Word). Find something you can do and do it! All accomplishment is done here in the land of the living; there is none in the grave, where you just rest - in peace or pieces - till the resurection when everything and everyon gets judged! If you don't like what youre doing, then change it! You job or your attitude, or both. Then enjoy yourself. 6 days for "work" - it doesn't have to be all the same thing every day - and one to rest up forthe next time around!
