Great 4th of July

as we had the kids and neighbors, Dave and Rhonda, over. I spent hours, literally, making marinades, cutting meat and sticking it onto skewers to BBQ. Was really good, but next time we have that many people will probably do something simpler. Nate provided 'Piper Ale', some fantastic home brew, and a wonderful time was had by all, esp me as I got more playtime with Piper. What a doll. The most excitement was when Zee, the neighbor's springer, was exploring our bedroom and Bailey caught him, on HER turf. From what I could tell, he tried to hightail it outta there, but confused the mirrored sliding closet doors with the doorway, and tried to go through, at full speed. Sounded like a gunshot, followed by hissing and yelping. Coulda been worse as neither of them left a blood trail. About the time the local fireworks were s'posed to start, the temps fell into the low 50's and it started to pour. All in all, a good, memorable 4th o' July.

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...

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...
