I love this picture...

We don't have Blue birds here in the Mid-West. In the South, there are many such birds.v I have a friend in the South who gave me this picture.

I'm attempting to get this over to Facebook so others can see what I am doing, so far, no go...
I have known many people in my life time, and many of them I really miss. One of the people I miss is Mike Marsh. he and ai went to high schol together. Mike was a good looking kid, blond headed, and had the look of an athelete. he was a naughty kid, but I liked him anyway. I should not have been surprised that he turned out to be a Salesman. As Quick witted as he was, how could he have done anything else for a living.
He died too soon. I was looking to go back to my old High school reunion when I received word that he had died.
Another high school chum was Mike Crabtree. I hear he had a stroke. That is horrible. He is a big man, or so I remember from about 40 years past.
I am still in contact with my friend, Pulford. he and I have been in contact with each other for over 40 years. Separated by distance, we e-mail one another. Pulford was one of the first to work on computers. Computers when he worked on them were as big as warehouses. I wrote him recently and asked if he ever thought those computers would be translated into what i am now typing on. He admitted that he had no idea atthe time that this was going to happen. Even as early as the late '70's computers were nothing more than electronic bulletin boards. It has changed, and I hope things become even more interactive than they are.
Ed Davis was a grammer school chum. We left Waverly about the same time. He is now in Texas. God help us all, I am in Kansas.

Last night, I was at CVS

Carol and I had to change doctors. Insurance made us do it. And while there, we had to get new prescriptions. I was heading for the check out stand when I saw Mike Capp. He and I used to work together at a local hospital. In fact, I got him the job. At first,I didn't recognize him. I called out," Mike," and he replied. He had changed over the years, twenty plus. So, I suppose I might not have been as easy to recognize either.
We shook hands. He had been drinking. This was something I had not expected. He was slightly tipsy. I could smell the booze on his breath. He slapped me on the back, saying," He was always a hard worker." Well, I had to work hard. I was handica[pped, and nothing came easy for me. He then left the drug store.

Bill Clinton Specioal on MSNBC

I wish I coul say I got a lot out of this program, but I did not. Clin6ton did a lot of moving around, and there were speeches he made, but I did nt see how he was helping people. Perhaps, his foundation, but not him.

Here is whyI I am discouraged....

I could make this like David letterman's Top Ten List.....
Number 10. I am old, and worried about my retirement.
Number 9. The only thing I have to look forward to is death.
Number 8-And Republicans do believe in death panels.
Number 7.- Most of my friends do not know what the Hell is going on...
Number 6. Has Canada solved this problem?
Number 5. Who are the Koch Brothers?
Number 4. Has anyone spotted the Democratic Senators who fled Wisconsin?
Number 3. Where is FDR when you need him?
Number 2. Forget it!
Number 1. Hey buddy can you spare a dime?

The Right Wing are taking away the rights of ordinary citizens

I will just parahrase. Democrats in the Wisconsin legislature fled so they would not be forced to vote on so9mething that will kill the average working person. If you care to go to the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC you can view ordinary citizens protesting . They want to keep their jobs. They want to receive the money they so honrestly deserve. Now, if you watch the lying Right Wing liars on Fox, they will call this workers out for greed or worse. Not so!
And friends, this is coming to a State near you. I fear what will happen in Kansas now that the same idiots controil both houses and the Governor's chair. We rree going to see cuts which hurt the average person. And let us not forget the old, retired, and the handicapped, their slated for the ax block too.


The revolution is coming, and I am still looking for a safe haven.
