WHATTA VACATION!!

Drive 6 hours to Reisterstown, MD, spend the night, get up before the crack of dawn, hop a plane, fly to Albuquerque, NM, drive to Aztec, spend 6 days touring 4 states, fly back to Baltimore, spend the night, drive 6 hours home & you've got yourself a FANTASTIC GOOD TIME!!!

OH! & if you have a birthday while you're on vacation, you get to celebrate it EVERY SINGLE DAY & then come home to cake & presents with the ones who didn't vacation with you!

It's so grand to be me!

LS, we went through Arizona, but I didn't meet up with any of your friends. We did see the massive smoke from the fires in Flagstaff, though.

Definitely an area of the world I highly recommend if you've got some time on your hands that you're looking for something to do with!

Interesting Rose, don't know how many friends I have in AZ, but I have made several acquaintenances over the years. Try; www/waybill toadventure.com, an acquaintance of mine.

Make any soap on a rope friends in lock up?

ls said...

can't say that I did, but I met several goats on the boats in the MM while engaged in suppling the US troops in Viet Nam.

But not sure?
Working on a MM boat was asking for the rope and the soap.

It's so grand to have you back Rose. been awfully dull around here. nothing but moores and morrises and horses patooties. I hear a suit might be brewing around the sheriff. something about intimidating children into plea bargains. I thought the sheriff was doing, but everyone makes mistakes. Hi YO Silver awayyyyyyyy

Do you think that if we ever lose a busload of kids on the hartland bridge pierson lumber and the law enforcement of this county will be held responsible.Those are humongous loads of logs on a frail 16ton weight limit bridge.

Anonymous said...

IF it can hold a log truck, it can hold a school bus.

Anonymous said...

Not to worry about that bridge at Hartland as rt 16 is Clay's lifeline to the rest of the state. The bridge don't need anything to make it safe for kids or anyone else to travel, after all it was more important to build new bridges every where in the county before it got fixed anyway. Dundon,Pisgah and Villinova all needed the bridges worse then the southern half of Clay county. No wonder Clay withers away and dies daily. Nobody lives on the south side of Elk River and there is no businesses down that way either.

More than there is in Pisgah and VillaNova

I wonder, where does the sheriff get the money to settle his suits. What ever happened to the "stump" Morton suit? I hear H. Stutlers pappy knows a lot about Clay co. backgrounds. had a state job till he got his retirement. had a housekeeper furnished by the welfare. H. Stutlers wife works for the post office. FEDs probably got him off.

I see that Sen. Byrd got 1/4 mil. dollars for the acquisition of the BC & G railroad for tourism. Now that Sen. Byrd is gone, who owns the railroad?

ROSE said...

No matter how you felt about Senator Byrd, you have to admit we did ourselves proud today with his memorial. We laughed, we cried, we didn't shoot anybody. We done good.

I gotta say, though, there's a hint of morbidity in parading a dead guy all over the country & not having his funeral until a week after he dies.

Anybody know why this war is going on over there and so many are dying for their country? Have they declared war on us? Is it the Taliban or Alquida or The Muslim religion? What are they fighting for? What's it all about Ralphie? Inquiring minds want to know. Why are they dieing for OUR country?

what country are you talking about? what we have is groups of rich people , each trying to rule the world. power, greed are their goals. the damage to the environment or the lower class is of no consideration as long as their every whim is taken care of, but all cannot rule and so we have war. who, who, who will it be said the wise old owl.

Anonymous said...

Wars are not won by armchair conductors but by those fighting on the front lines and putting their lives in danger so you can sit in your chair and direct how "to do it".

We are in wars because we have those in office who are power hungry along with being money starved. Their stock is down on the market and they are losing money. So we get into a war somewhere around the globe because our buddy decides we are not paying enough to that little sheethole they are in. Every war is started the same ole way for the same ole reason, we try to convince them that democracy is best when we here in America are living under dictatorship form a bunch of thugs, Chicago style at present. When our buddy in that little country decides he doesn't want to play ball any longer and trys to take his ball and go home then we dream up some reason to whip him back in line. The only sad part is our children are sent off to battle a war that has to be fought by rules that noone plays by except the USA. They cut off our kids heads and mutilate their bodies and if we interrogate them we are the bad guys.

We try our soldiers and imprison them for doing what we send them to do, (win a war). We can't shoot them because they are women and children with bombs attached to their body but its ok for them to set the bomb off and kill a few Americans. News cameras show all the bad things we do so as to turn the public against the soldiers (war). They do not show the good our kids are doing but if there is a mistake made on the front line then they beat you to death with how bad it was. Wars are won and wars are lost but don't blame our kids for killing off a few of them "little sheetheads" riding camels and killing our troops.

No matter what they do support our troops with everything you have to do with for very soon like the Viet Nam vets the government will turn its back on the illness brought on by these two wars we are now in. And for you soldiers reading this from Afganistan and Iraq, kill a dune coon or two for me I don't care as the more you wipe out now the less we have to deal with later.

Happy Independence Day one and ALL

No war has ever been fought for our freedom.
They have been fought to protect corporate interests.
Plain and simple.
Our poor young men and women have been fighting and dieing for greed, since before we were even a nation.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It's the propaganda that the powers that be spread that says otherwise.
How are you supporting our troops?
Oh yeah, you have a ribbon on your car, and your call anyone who questions war, a traitor.
I bet they can feel the warmth all the way over in Afghanistan.
I love my country.
It's the idiots that spew this trash, hate and lies to keep us acting like good little sheeple, that I can't stomach.
Like I said, crawl back under the rock you came from.
At least until you know how to act like a human being again.

What you realy love is that welfare card that buys your beer each month, pays your rent, keeps your kids clothes paid for with a voucher and the list of the free stuff goes on and on. Well its not free, the taxpayer has to give up every extra penny they make so we have to keep ten leaches sucking beer cans going. Thats all you know about FREEDOM and how it came about. Another leach born this year at your hole in the wall? You can't even own a rock because it don't come free.

Sorry, wrong again.
Worked my whole life.
Never collected welfare or ssi.
Signed up for unemployment once, 15 years ago, but got another job before benefits kicked in.
I think my wife got WIC for our first child due to us just starting out.
We payed for the other 3 ourselves lock stock and barrel, raised up and out the house.
What now a$$hole?
Next time you think you know something.
Do us all a favor and keep it to yourself.
