Sad to have to say that...but the waves are an bouncing across the pond these days...and this happy stock market isn't the truth...but for an handfull of the greedy and self proclaimed selfish running everything. As he said last night we have given 44 billion dollars to afghanistan to build thier infrustrure so they can continually destroy it "fighting" and then turn around and call us names..we the people say to hell with them. They don't appreciate the sacrifices of our work and giving up..both in money and our son's... so they can have it. What do we get out ot the schools,hospitals and market places.. and apartment  living structures..and what not... when they simply bomb them all... at our expense? Let them have their drug addicted leaders.... and drug war lords....and fight over their "weeds" of ill repute. We don't need it. What do they give to the world that is worthy? Culture...no...they bomb anythng worth having...education...no..they don't have it themselves..an place to visit and enjoy..hardly..freedom..no, not with drugs at the helm...drug lords buy people's souls eventually. So what is it we get for the 44 Billion dollars....we hardly enough money these days to buy decent food and living for our own people...to few of us have savings accounts these days. They took away millions of homes in the last couple of years from people..millions..jjobs also.. They sit on my back door like raving wolves ready to step in an take anything we own, anyway possible. By next week..for the first time in 35 years...the US Constituion will be coming down off my walls...it is no longer..it has become an document that is torn into places and inserted with masking tape when it comes to human rights.. The celing light that hung for so long over our table with the cross showing up in ievery bite an person ate at my house...is now down. Religion is persecution these days. An bunch of sheeple that hang together to likewise persecute anyone they are scared of in telling the truth. What use to be considered "ad-normal" now has an higher voice then that of being truthful... sensible and normal...our new leadership for the end days I guess. Disgusting. People use to give for an tax deduction...they stopped that also. People have cut back and cut back..until there is nothign more to give...only to destroy. Destroy your yard, your trees, an garden..your flowers, the small animals that live off those trees and flowers...live in an waste land of essentially "nothing" present...unless you force yor neighbor to do the paying and work otherwise. Never replace, up grade, or give of anything decent without an hefty profit.... is the name of the game these days...and it was never "God's way"....never.

Rick is going to be our muscle man in POE with all theat shoveling.

Well, they came out an cut down the neighbors trees...good and bad to it I suppose...now I might have to worry about my trees coming down in wind...and taxes took all my money...so I can't pay anyone to come out an help me on it.  Everyone is looking at the trees gone now...they will get use to them though. I won't...they were symbolic to me...but once gone,,,gone. You learn to live with it. I must admit, they have the right equitpment to do it fast and easily though. Iguess she's correct, they are older then I think of them being...and really can't do much physically...except sit on something... and get older. 

Which reminds me..I have the painting left to do and should get to doing it.  Many years ago, when I moved here...I put up the US Consittuion on the wall...an parchment reproduction of it I had picked up in either Washington D. C. or Virginia....after 35 some years on the wall...I finally took it down this morning...I realize that it means nothing to anyone..... but what they can get off the next guy.  The drug cartels and illegals use it to escape going to jail...not being an decent person. Everyone else has these days inserted what they want it to say.... to enhance themselves and put masking tape to make it look "authentic"...most people I doubt would even post it anywhere in their house or business. God is out of my house these days also...so others don' thave to feel to uncomfortable with thesubject...esp. the gays and child abusers..and direlectics. So now they can roam unhappered by such thoughts as "God"...and besides the churches would fight over what religion "God" is anyway. The Native Americans would like everyone dead with their so callled "earth changes" because they can't cope with life to much these days...many of them are like the poorer groups...knowing they have to go into "genocide" to escape not having enough money to buy one's freedom...but they work on building cascino's like crazy otherwise. Something the average guy on the street can't do. I wonder what the neighbors will destroy next.

I am back...I see that Bush and family are on TV...probably couldn't stand the "Pope" getting any lime light these days.....

They cut down six huge trees...the easy way. Nine fellas, two huge trucks....chipper...fork lift...grinder...it went fast. But still logged in one working day for their wages....think she said $2,000...about what I'm getting taken away from me fo rtaxes this year.That I wasn't counting on either. Street looks really wide now...and this is one of the busiest streets for joggers and walkers....I think everyone made it by today...including myself.

I'm not as depressed as I was early this morning about it all. I found something last night thanks to the Latter Day Saint's Church files. William Plantegant.  Could be the father of the William Larkin I have or at least another in line for it...mostly because he's not going by that name...he's going by "Warrene" under Earl William Marshall family. He's in the same area as is my Langhorn family also. I'll have to look more into this all. Of George Plantegent's family around 1499....I have "executed for treason" ...died in the tower of London...beheaded...one child "died in infancy"...other child died one year old...supposedly and entire family wiped out.. I also have one person "posioned" also. Plus I have one Elizabeth...hung...one Rogers...martyered...an Washington "burned at the stake"....and one other burned also, but forget the name. All these people have one thing in common...the "War of Roses". Plus I picked up King John with no less then 10 concubines or mistresses. At one time "ex-communicated" by the church also. Dangerous times they lived in...but people always have in ways in history. I go for now.

Joke time.....since they need more time to pick out an Pope....

Jake, Johnny, and Billy died and went to heaven. "Welcome" said St. Peter.."you'll be very happy here if you just obey our rule: Never step on an duck. If you step on the duck, the duck quacks, they all start quacking and it makes an terrible noise."

That sounded simple enough until they passed the pearly gates and found thousands of ducks everywhere. Jake stepped on one right away. The ducks quacked, making an unholy racket. St. Peter came up to Jake bringing with him a ferious-looking Amazon woman. "Iwarned you if you broke the rule you;d be punished St. Peter said.then he chained the amazon woman to Jake for eternity.

Several hours later, Johnny stepped on an duck. The duck quacked, they all quacked and St. Peter stepped up to Johnny with an shrewish woman. "As your punishment," St. Peter told Johnny, "you'll be chained to this woman for eternity."

Billy was extremely careful not to step on an duck. Several months went by. Then St. Peter came up to him with an gorgeous blonde and chained her to Billy, uniting them for all time. "Wow"! exclaimed Billy. "I wonder what I did to deserve this? "I don't know about you," said the beautiful woman, "but I steppped on an duck."

One for the "Grouse club"....

The bartender at our golf club named a drink Lilac Crazy in honor of one of the members. Every time the member came to the 19th hole, that's exactly what he did.
