Things to Think About
My Darling Wife received this via e-mail and I share it with you.<br />n<br />nThis should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where you could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.<br />n<br />n1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.<br…

Heard
Heard from my oldest when I informed her that she had been placed on the vehicle insurance, now that she got her license, and that it was going to cost quite a bit more money now.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>You mean you have to <b>pay</b> for insurance? I thought it was to protect us so why do…

I Provide The Camera
I had quite a few very complimentary comments about my <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1746-Looking-East.html">photo yesterday</a> and wish to thank everybody for them. I would like to point out that I only provide the camera, God provides the settings that I take pictures of and the praise for the photos really goes to him, I'm just lucky enough…

Rage
I really had to laugh last night. My oldest had to find an article in the local paper and then write something about it. She was having a hard time finding anything interesting until she came across <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/05/02/news/state/45-smoking-down.txt">this story</a>. I have never seen her write like that before. Passionate, full of energy and with…

A study published on Monday shows heavy, long-term coffee drinking does not raise the risk of heart disease for most people.</blockquote><br />n<br />nWell, this is a pretty good deal for me.…

Waiting For The Next Blow
My Darling Wife always tells me that bad things happen in packets of three. I'm waiting for the third one.<br />n<br />nTo start with <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1694-Cows-Are-Out.html">the little lady</a>, the last bum I found, died last night. It wasn't particularly surprised by this. I had fed it and doctored on it but I could not get…

Words to the Wise
Some people say small towns are a great place to be. Sometimes I am not to sure. I have seen too many times where somebody who wasn't born, raised and inbred in the small town gets the cold shoulder by the local inbreds no matter how long they have been there. Somebody out there knows…

More Rain
