But anyhow now that I look back at the garage all arranged and stowed away and ready for the winter season. I have no idea what that woman is talking about. I do so have room to keep a motorcycle!

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns of the war to end all wars, World War 1 fell silent. In 1938 the Armies of Hitlers Germany and Stalins Russia invaded Poland. The guns of war were once again back to their bloody business. Korea, Vietnam and in countless other places around the world the guns of war have gone about their bloody business, since that day in 1918.

America and our nato allies are now doing battle in Iraq and Afghanistan. Once again the young men and women in uniform are going in harms way for their countries. One of my volunteer duties for the Red Cross is to attend pre-deployment briefings for Reservist and National Guard troops preparing to be deployed. I have seen the fear and concern for them in the eyes of their loved ones who will remain behind waiting for their return. Fearing that knock on the door, that so many have recieved when the military comes to tell them their loved one will not be returning home!

My own son was among one of the National Guard units to ship out to Afghanistan. I will never forget the look of fear in my wife's eyes as she watched her first born son board that bus.

So on this Veteran's Day I ask you to remember not only those who have and are serving, but the families they have left behind to wait and worry.

Okay actually we're going camping at Buffalo Shores campground and we'll be seen now and then at Ducky's Lagoon. Gasing up the boats and getting cheesy fries, but hey they do have a cool looking pirate lady mannequin climbing down a rope there

See you all in a week

Okay lets go over this for anyone who may not have gotten the memo. Never ever for any reason whatsoever leave a child unattended in a locked car at anytime much less in the summer heat! I mean my God one would have to have spent their life living under a rock, to not know what the end result of closing the windows and locking the doors on a car with a child inside is going to be!

What should you do if you find a child locked in a car? Break a window and remove the child, make sure the child is breathing and safe, call 911. Myself after I've done all that I plan on breaking every window the car has left. This will be done only to keep me from beating the vehicles owner, until the proper authorities arrive

If possible, please go to the Australian Red Cross website at [link] and make a donation even if you can only make a small one, it all helps. As a member of the American Red Cross I know for a fact, the Australian people chipped in and gave aid to our fellow Americans who were devastated by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma.

That would be a huge weak spot for me (not that I'm perfect in the other areas) indoor lighting has never been a strong point of mine. Seems to be more so with digital photography. Anyone know of any good books on the subject. You know something like "Flash Photography for Dummies"!

These are both very good and worthwhile organizations. They both do so much to lift the spirits of Children who may be forgotten by Santa Claus.

There can be nothing as bright as the smile of a child on Christamas Morning, and I would say nothing more sad then one who thinks Santa Claus has passed them by. So please one toy or a few dollars in the Salvation Army kettle.

Together we can make Christmas a little brighter for the Children ]]> *olearysfunphotos http://olearysfunphotos.deviantart.com/journal/21525603/ http://olearysfunphotos.deviantart.com/journal/21525603/ Sun, 16 Nov 2008 20:14:52 PST Before her work as a nude model was discovered she's was an asset volunteering in her local community. Now thanks to a few small minded and intolerant people, even her occupation is at risk!
I guess my point is, most of our ancestors came to the New World to escape persecution for their ways be it their faith or politics and even their personal beliefs. They came here to enjoy the freedom to live their life as they pleased. When did we become so intolerant and small minded, that we feel everyone should fit into the same mold!
Maybe what these upstanding citizens should be asking, is why one of their own was cruising the internet looking for photos that they consider to be so vile to begin with!

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals, and

2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans we re sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. L iberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood ,sail boaters, and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud which now has been bought by gay Germans. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.

We use the term "Hero" far to losely now days. The true heroes are passing away daily by the hundreds.

Today I read an article in our local paper about a simple man who shunned the term hero, and quietly went on with life. On August 11th 2008 Jim Hoyt of Oxford Iowa and veteran of WW II died. After his return from the war he set about raising a family, farming and working for the local post office. He was known as gentle and kind man.

Having fought through the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, on April 11th 1945 At the age of 19 PFC Hoyt and three other American soldiers walked into the hell on earth known as Buchenwald. Thus becoming the camps liberators. Only once since that time when he met privately with one of the camps survivors who was speaking at the University of Iowa did he speak of it.

He would only tell his wife that the dreams, which all these years since that day kept him from sleeping a full nights sleep were horrific.

Our local columnist Barb Ickes put it best "The liberator finally is free"

May he now finally rest in peace

So as an added treat Mother Nature, through 98 mile an hour straight winds into the mix this morning. Ripping roofs and homes in general asunder, there are at this time nearly 98,000 people in our area who are without power due to the damage falling trees did to the power lines. We seem to be going from one disaster right into another here this summer.
