Ok last game tonight for Austin...against Johnson.

This is cool...I'm surprised I haven't seen this or something similar before Style Your Garage Door...Pretty neat..This is the one I would want
Actually won last night....of course it was just Nebraska.



4 days....then beach...and warmth!!!

Deep Thought of the Day: I bet the one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.

Mixed blessing: credit card reform may shock some
I can't believe people are really this dumb....and we let them vote and have children on top of it....


I feel the same way!

...and as I've said before Brackins isn't impressive....wondering if he's figured out he shouldn't even try the pro's for another year?

Vernon had a nice little 50th B'day party..still doesn't look 50!

Will be headed to the beach next week, not soon enough.

Austin second to last game tonight.

You should see all these emails I'm getting from numerous people slamming or just stating facts about our current goverment. I have never received anything like this with the last couple presidents, not even during Clinton and the impeachment process. This tells me people are actually paying attention now, but not when it mattered November a year and half ago.

Vernon and his b'day....

Everybody Hates Chris...rocks!

School conferences yesterday, boys are hanging on by a thread ...awww...They are doing better than that.

Blaise finished up last Saturday.

Austin finishes up basketball this coming week....then Baseball...damn where is the free time......

This is an unusual love story involving an 89-year-old woman and her beloved Chariot. The two have been together for decades and traveled more than 540,000 miles across this nation's highways and side streets. WOW!!!!



Belated B'days to Michael Jordan and Jim Brown they were yesterday.

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'

Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
