They do this for the entire walk. Back and forth. What I wouldn’t give for half of their energy.

Hope your Holiday were good and excellent and such.

So the last post generated some comments. Sorry. I like Christmas or Xmas a lot. I also like Larry Norman’s song a lot. In my world they are not exclusionary. I think this makes me a cynic. I also like this picture.

…..a game comes along that is unexpected.

Play Auditorium is such a game for me. Click the link and enjoy. I didn’t read the rules but was able to figure it out pretty quickly. It’s no Fantastic Contraption but is compelling for 10 minutes anyway.

Join us and the three dogs as we cut down a tree and bring it back to the truck to bring home……

Every year as we do this I’m reminded of Larry Norman’s Christmas Time song. Here are the lyrics and it’s available on iTunes.

Santa Claus is commin’ and the kids are gettin’ greedy
It’s Christmas time
They know what’s in the story ’cause they seen it on the TV
It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time
It used to be the birthday of the Man who saved our necks
It’s Christmas time
Now it stands for Santa Claus they spell it with an X
It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time
Woah it’s Christmas time
Oh woah oh baby
Oh woah oh woah it’s Christmas time
Oh yeah baby
I said Yeah, Yeah, Yeah…
You go into the forest and you cut down all the trees
It’s Christmas time
I know you got a power saw but who plants the seeds?
It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time
I gotta buy a present can’t remember who it’s for
It’s Christmas time
I ‘ll see you in a hour when I get back from the store
It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time

I’ll expect to see this at an Andrew & Noah concert soon.

I do some of my best thinking in the men’s room. Free from the distractions of my desk or kitchen bustling with activity. Sometime while in my favorite pondering place I’ve been struck by oddities of life. In this case all I had to do was look up.

In case you can’t read it it says. “If you are eating in these bathroom stalls overnight - Please be kind and throw your leftovers and garbage in the trash.”

Do we live in a busy society or what ? It has to be about conserving time [or a very strange fetish] as there are public lounges all over this building. This sad, frantic person has to consume and recycle at the same time.

• Limit Congress from serving more than two or three terms. Two terms is all the President gets.
• Stop Congress from voting for their own raises. How did that ever get started?
• Stop paying for lawmaker’s high-priced insurance premiums. After all, they are only part time employees. They might pass some law changes on the insurance companies if the had to find one.
• Stop paying lawmakers their full salary after serving just one term, or at retirement. We need to get rid of that pension plan; they’ve let other companies get rid of theirs. You were lucky to get 40 to 50 percent of your salary after working for 35 years, but they get 100%.
• Make Congress pay into the Social Security system. They make the laws for it. If they spent some of their own money, they might be interested in making it solvent.
• Stop handing our aid to the illegal aliens. If we did, then Medicaid and the food stamp program would have enough money to aid the aged and the poor.
• Secure our borders.
• Stop allowing babies born to illegal aliens in the United States automatic US citizenship.
• Stop the abuse of our benevolent welfare system. We feed children free meals three times a day until they are 17. Churches give away good, clean clothes. Companies buy and donate school supplies. Emergency rooms provide health care at taxpayer expense and the food stamp program is buying food at home. What are parents doing for their children?
• Have a computer program that cross checks Social Security numbers with fingerprints to stop fraud on many fronts. Use it on voter registration, too.
• Stop bailing out mortgage companies and banks that give loans to people that can’t afford them.
• Stop companies from paying CEO’s and other executives outrageous salaries and bonuses while doing away with worker’s pensions.
• Stop all unnecessary spending so we will have the money for our nation’s security and to help need and elderly Americans.
• Stop permitting anyone to have a photo with their face covered on driver’s licenses.

Only members of Congress can make these changes as they are the lawmakers.

This has been floating around the internet I thought I’d share it with you.

Statistics have proven that in biting sarcastic humor there is usually found 61% of the truth. You be the judge.

I freely admit I’m not a Beagle fan boy but this one is well you just watch.

“Hey, Inigo.”
“What?”
“I hope we win.”

Do your dooty and go vote.

Also watch this and try not to laugh.
