Am taking Acura in,


to body shop today, to have front end painted. While working in Texas last year, on Hurricane Ike, I came upon a few swarms of 'love bugs' as they're called down there. These 1/2" long flying pests swarm as they mate and cause a terrible mess when you hit 'em. I nearly couldn't see thru the windshield, but spent alot of time cleaning it so I could. BUT, I didn't have the time to thoroughly clean the rest of my car, and later, when I did try everything I could think of, to clean the little critters off, it was too late. They literally ate thru the paint of my car. The body shop people, as well as insurance adjuster had never seen it before, but agreed new paint was the only way to fix it. SO, am getting a Camry rental for the week, while they paint my car. Who'd a- guessed?

I would have guessed it. They come out twice a year in Florida, May and Sept. Kathy hates them. They are attracted to items that are white in color, and if you hit them while you are driving, and there is no way not to, you need to wash your car immediatley or will have the problems that you haveing, all this hassel over a little loving

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

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...

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...
