We all know,

Carol is SO spoiled. I just got her an Ipod Nano, and Nate loaded it with some GREAT tunes. Anyway, I am hangin' 'round playing music for her while she makes food for Kari's shower tomorrow. Which brings me to THIS song, that's on now. "Little Wing", by Stevie Ray Vaughn. It really takes me back to Houma, LA, and my trailer on the edge of the swamp. This was one of my favorites, at the end of the day, when I'd take a break, about sundown, 'cause that's when the dragonflies would come out. About a hundred of them. BIG, green and blue ones. One of them, who I named Evinrude, adopted me, and would come and land on or beside nearly every evening. I could pet him/her. VERY strange, but I took it as some kind of cosmic sign, not sure what, but I felt like I wasn't alone.

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?

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...

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...
