TEN DAYS & COUNTING ...

THE ELECTION

Will your decision be based on

... personal knowledge of candidates?

... campaign techniques/promises?

... rumors and gossip you hear from others?

... stuff you read on these blogs?

... the quality & quantity of the freebies they hand out?

... or just plain gut instinct?

6 Months Later ...

& we're all still bloggin' .... What'd we do before? teeheehee

SURVEY SAYS ....

1) Gettysburg, PA. By far, one of my favorite places on the planet. Gettysburg City Council has voted to allow slot machines within city limits to boost the economy. The national battlefields will still be protected, but for how long?

2) Illegal immigrants. Have you seen the questions you'd have to answer if you wanted to become a US citizen? Could you pass the test?

3) Fried chicken. Extra crispy or original recipe?

4) Hair transplant or paint your bald spot?

AREA 51

At 2 minutes & 3 seconds after 1:00 a.m., the date/time will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. It won't happen again for another 100 years, so make sure you tape it!!

Fact or Utter Nonsense?

* Dogs are mentioned 14 times in the Bible, and lions 55 times, but domestic cats are not mentioned at all.

* About 13% of our population is left-handed. In medieval times, left-handed people could not become knights because it was thought that they were descendants of the devil.

* Alexander Hamilton (the guy on the ten-dollar bill) was killed in a duel by Vice President Aaron Burr.

* Half the world's population earns about 5% of the world's wealth.

* Almost 1,2 billion people are underfed - the same number of people that are overweight to the point of obesity.

Mary Poppins!

I figure if all roads are going to lead to "MP" anyway, why not start there & come up with something more interesting to talk about.

So ... MP could mean ....

Bring It On!

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz,

Do you know where your snow shovel iz?

Vent Line

No holding, no "Press 1 for English," no specific topic.

No names (the sissies can't take it & I don't want to hear from them, so please be creative)

& keep it relatively clean (gotta love that * button!).

Éireann go Brách! ("Erin Go Braugh" - Ireland Forever!)

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face.

And rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

- Irish Blessing
