CHANGED THE WAY WE DO THINGS


This morning (EST) nine years ago our country changed. We found out you can be the wealthiest and most powerful country on earth, but still not be safe.
We travel different, we are policed different, your work place and where you shop are different. Big Brother knows more about us today than he did nine years and one day ago.
Nine years latter we are more aware: a lot of people around the world do not like our country or us personally.
We learned the hard way, everyone should look over their shoulder and help the people paid to protect us, protect us even better. We now live in a culture of fear and need to make sure our children do not grow up without their guard up.
Happy Birthday Mom.

Dash of seltzer
Mix Campari and vermouth in an old fashioned glass. Add ice and seltzer.

VANITY SIZING


"I said, 'I do not fear those pants / With nobody inside them.'I said, and said, and said those words. / I said them. But I lied them."—Dr. Seuss

"But vanity waist sizing is so entrenched, it couldn't possibly be changed overnight, at least not without a government mandate. The only solution seems to be a gradual, year-by-year shaving of quarter-inch by quarter-inch until, in 2021, men's pants finally correspond with the label numbers — conveniently just in time for the New World Order's switch to mandatory full jumpsuits."

Labor Day Projects

Gutters are clean, a couple of windows washed, quarterly taxes paid and Lucy's two ramps are built making it easier in her older age to visit the Lady's Room. The weekend was not perfect, but close enough. Now to find stimulus funds for the ramp material, I think pets are a part of the Health Reform Bill.

SEAN'S FACING YOUR FEARS



"The hero and the coward both feel exactly the same fear,
only the hero confronts his fear
and converts it into fire"
~ Cus D'Amato, boxing manager
