Really ugly day

with a haze in the air, from the fires in Arizona. Can't see the mountains, just a few miles away. Also, it has started to feel like summer with a temp of about 90. Yuck, not ready for that.

Was on our way to a wedding reseption Saturday afternoon, all gussied up; Dennis in his 400.00 suit, Brian in his slacks and vest, me in my long dress and heels. It was 97 degrees out with 100 percent humidity and we're driving up Lewis in Michigan from Ohio and we have a flat tire on the Van about 2 miles from our destination! GREAT! Well, I said to Den, you'll have to take off your jacket and change the tire. "Oh the spare is no good",he replies.
Thank goodness 2 cars stop to assist us. One is a group of gals who ferry me up to the reception and I get Nancy to come back and pick Brian up in her handicap van and take him back to the hall. The other fellow stays with Den and calls a local tire dealer nearby and they get a used tire mounted and back on the van. There are good people around! Just not in Ohio!!! What a day......... and I really hate my husband for being such a jerk to forget about the spare tire! He has upteen spares out back for the racecar, but no spare for the van!!! I was fit to be tied!

Yuck, sounds terrible. Is that something God would be involved in? Not sure how psople like you think about something like that. Don't be mad at me for asking, just wonder how you think. AND, you shouldn't say you 'hate your husband, for being such a jerk'. That doesn't sound good, for a Christian lady like you. You gotta figure when you aspire to a certain point, you are held to a different standard. Just how it is. Glad it turned out well, at least it sounded that way. Read it now, will probably be gone tomorrow, when things look different.

Okay, I concede. Hate is a strong word. Let me just say, I hated his lack of responsibility. Say, I was the one driving alone with my handicapped son and the tire blew and there was no spare? I can change a tire, but there was no spare!
When you mock, Steve, you mock well.

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...

Saw a good movie yesterday,

that really showed how fast time flies. Argo is about the hostage crisis in Iran, 33 years ago, and has a bit of history at the the beginning, that most of us have forgotten, as in WHY the Iranian people were SO pissed off at Americans. In 1953, the popularly elected president of Iran was replaced by the Shah of Iran, in a coup directed and financed by the CIA and the US, to protect America's Big Oil interests, much the same way Saddam Hussein was installed in Iraq. The shah, like Hussein, was a despot who tyrannized the people and looted the treasury. When he was overthrown, in a populist revolution, he fled to the US, but the Iranians wanted to put him on trial. Hence, the Iranian mobs took out their anger on the US embassy and it's workers. Argo, based on a true story, tells how Hollywood helped smuggle six Americans back home, with a fake movie. Good flick that explained a lot about why 'they hate us' over there, and brought back many memori...

Michelle Bachmann probably has 'double the IQ",

of Sarah Palin, but that doesn't mean it's in triple digits. Given a chance to admit that she made a mistake when she stated that our 'Founding Fathers' worked tirelessly to end slavery, she doubled down and claimed John Quincy Adams, who was a young child at the time, was against slavery, so she was/is right. Wow. I guess Paul Revere warned the British, with his bells, as the founding fathers were fighting to free their slaves. AND, I heard that she was using "American Girl' as a theme song, until Tom Petty heard about it and said, 'NO WAY'. Sarah and Michelle, the Repub brain trust...
