Labor Day Weekend

It's Labor Day Weekend, folks. It's the unofficial end of summer and the start of another school year. That and fall is not too far away. I'll take it. I've had enough of the heat and humidity. I much prefer spring and fall since the temperatures are moderate and the weather a bit more predictable. Hope everyone out there has a great weekend. 

Olympics Are Over

The Olympics are over. Now what is there to watch? I know there's plenty of shows on but there's just something about the Olympics. Probably the once every four years makes it special. That and the fact that the athletes are competing for their country rather than a single team. Even if you don't win a medal, it's an achievement just to qualify to compete. Here's a hat's off to all the athletes who competed in Beijing. Well done, everybody.

Politics

Well, here we go. Obama picked Joe Biden as his running mate. And John McCain has started the mudslinging. Also, Hillary's supporters are having hissy fits that she wasn't vetted and chosen. Get over it people. Obama had to pick someone that would complement his abilities and bolster his weaknesses. Joe Biden has the foreign policy experience that Obama doesn't and will be a good advisor.

Hillary Clinton's supporters should listen to Hillary and put their efforts to getting Obama elected. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama picks Hillary for a cabinet post. She's got the experience and would be an effective cabinet member. 

What everyone needs to do is work to get Obama elected. One thing we don't need is four more years of the Bush way of screwing the country up. He has been one of the worst presidents we've ever had to put up with. His gross incompetence and negligence are criminal. Why he hasn't been impeached is beyond me. He lies to the country and gets us involved in a useless war and he isn't called to task? Bill Clinton has a fling and everyone gets their panties in a bunch. No, I don't condone what he did but he didn't get anyone else's family member killed. There's a big difference. 

The Republicans talk about returning to old fashioned American values. What they mean is to have women staying home with no real rights, kids ignorant about sex and to put them colored people in their place. They want to turn the clock back to the 1950's. It's the 21st century people and it's time we as a society started acting like it.

Olympics

Been watching the Olympics the last two weeks. It's been interesting. Michael Phelps won eight gold medals and the winner of the women's marathon won by a one minute (more or less) margin. It's been fun. 

It's Been A While

It's been a while since I thought about posting. Been busy with other things. Summer's almost over, much to my delight. I'm not much of a summer person. The heat isn't so bad but the humidity we get aggravates my eczema. That and the feeling I get when the air is so humid you can hardly breathe. The high pollen and air pollution don't help either. We've had some really great weather recently with low humidity and a touch of fall in the evenings. Love it.
