As always, I started this Sunday,

by watching The Sunday Morning Show, with Charles Gibson. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/05/08/sunday/main20060870.shtml
Always interesting. Today they started off with a just completed Gallup Poll, with over 350,000 participants from across the country, that showed the 'happiest' town in the US, based on wide ranging criteria, was Boulder, Colorado. Not the first or last poll showing that. For many reasons, Boulderites had the highest % of well-being, compared to the rest of the country. Nothing new here, but it is nice to have it recognized. As someone who has traveled, and lived all over our great country, I can say there is no place like it, in SO many ways. From the clean, crisp air, postcard views and just plain 'higher quality' people, there's a reason this small part of the world, 'surrounded by reality', has the most contented, healthiest and best educated citizenry anywhere. Oh yes, there's also, 'the weather', and enlightened attitudes. As always, feel free to visit, but don't stay, there's just not room for many more, and I'd hate to see it change.

Proud? Yeah, I guess I am, that I chose a great place to raise a family, and it's been validated. AND, if I would ever have temporary insanity, I could sell my home here, and buy 2 or 3 where you are. Texas or Nebr? Never mind, no chance, BUT, that opportunity exists, and it's nice to have CHOICES, that some don't have. One more thing, if I gotta explain Boulder mentality, you wouldn't understand it.

BTW, if being educated, healthy and non-Republican, makes us 'perverts', then yes, we are.

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
