Finally finished,


'A Walk in the Woods', by Bill Bryson, and really enjoyed it. I used to do some backpacking, but nothing like his long term hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Have just started 'Texasville', by one of my favorite authors, Larry McMurtry, which Laura recommended, and gave to me. Pretty amazing, it starts out in the same place and time that 'Saturday Night Lights' took place. Really funny, so far. Time to find Bailey and bring her in, since it's getting near 'kitty time', about sundown, as I check the baby back ribs on the grill. Colo vs. Georgia (whose coach is from Broomfield), tonight, and just saw Okla beat Texas, in a crazy finish as I switched back and forth with the Ryder Cup. Not sharing the remote, (sorry Carol) isn't ALL bad. Also built another set of 'kid steps'and got in some miles on the bike, today, SO, I've earned my Saturday evening. Later....

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...
