Hummingbirds fating up and getting ready for their fight south. We seen as many as ten birds around our feeder this morning. They have been drinking a bottle a day.

What a nice surprise.

My sister sent me a email last night that said, "We're getting ready to eat at the Great Wall in Princeton. Come join us or call me on the cell phone."
Princeton is only 20 miles south of us where Motherkitty works. I think they will get to see mom after eight this morning as they get on their way back to Berea, Kentucky.
If you ever want to see the beauty of Kentucky just follow Sandy on her motorcycle. If you go to her blog you can get just a taste of the pleasant rides she goes on.

It is late in the day and I have not been in the mood to spell words that hopefully convey a message.
I have been playing solitaire on the computer. My leg does not want to stretch out fully, it is the nerves in my back that is to blame, I have been there before and it is mildly unpleasant making me hobble like a chained convict, it is very unsettling and mildly unpleasant.

I was moving boxes and things back into our sons room (computer room) so that Allison and family will have more space than normal for their visit Monday afternoon. I was moving everything with my hand truck. I picked up a box thinking that this box won't hurt me without the hand truck and boy did I make a mistake. I was feeling great when mom left for work and now I have gone one or two days behind just because I moved one box (one box) without the hand truck. Oh well it is not that much of a deal but my brain just won't learn. I still feel good enough to finish what I planned to do today.
I have to say that those foreign corporations have made some fancy anti-Obama campaign commercials . There is nothing we can do about it since the Supreme Court ruled that corporations could have a say in electing a President. They have been sliding money into commercials like a Dr. Seuss Balanced budget. It is time to pull together and vote.

The War Chest of 2002

Do you remember everything going to the Pentagon War Chest in the year 2002. Wall Street got their share of war work. But where were my savings going? I was just trying to get by. If I remember correctly Halliburton was in 7th heaven with America's funds. We were just spending overseas, we were just spending overseas, we were just spending overseas and the Grand Old Party just loved it. The Republican War Chest was just full of goodies and all the big war machines were marching in goose-step with America's money.
In 2007 America realized that it was time for the common man back home to get his fair share of the profits and elected Barack Obama into the White House and the Republican War Chest was slammed shut. Corporate America sealed its doors and Wall Street put all it money in hiding and then the bubble burst. Now we have a lot of wealthy men standing around with their hands in their pockets just waiting for the Republican War Party to get back in office to get the War Chest rolling and chugging again. It is time to pull together and vote.

I awoke this morning in a good mood. I normally live and think in the space provided and then I go out of my space and get online or turn on the TV or read a newspaper. Something is this outer space has set my mood and I find it annoying.
Dreams do that and wives do that. We live in a social structure of creatures that look similar to us and do things similar to us. It may be that I cut my hair because it was tangling and it was taking too much time to untangle and while I was doing that a great amount of hair was being pulled out of place and deposited in the trash. No that is not it.
My mind is in a free state and I find it difficult to work with anyone that lives for the almighty dollar. I do enjoy working for money but I am not obsessed with the idea of gathering money for pleasure. My beef is with the folks that want me to work for nothing while they make a profit from my labor. There are tons of employers that belong to our chamber of commerce that do just that. Waiters and waitresses (I am counting McDonald's in there too) are the most abused people in the United States and if you ask their employers they will tell you that they are broke and penniless.
Crap give me a break. I asked someone the other day to do something for me free of charge and at first they said yes and the more they thought about it the more angry they got and they just refused to work for nothing.
I guess I should realise that folks do think a little different than me and they will not be slaves to anyone. But it is OK for them to employ waiters and waitresses and pay them pittance for a hard days labor.
Life is really unfair for some folks and there is nothing I can do about it but bitch on my blog.

How many of us on this planet are living in a peaceful environment?

How many of us on this planet are living in a peaceful environment? I am not talking about what you hear and see on your news source, I am talking about directly around you?

67 degrees and we have pink skies or a mixture of light pink clouds and a baby blue sky. That sounds like rain but we will have to wait to find out.
