Get a Life

Not Planning Ahead
I have been seeing more and more advertising for something called a interest-only home loan and couldn't quite figure out how this worked. The advertising always talks about how much cheaper they are than a normal home mortgage and it's easy to see why since if you don't pay down the principal, logic dictates that…

Parents Gone Wild
What ever happened to civility and sportsmanship. <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=762981&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312" target="_new">This</a> is disgraceful and criminal. What a great example for the children in our society.<br />n<br />n<b>Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

Da Bums
My Darling Wife got a real good picture of 3 of the 4 bums we're raising this year. They are a pain in the ass but it's also fun to have them around watch them buck and play and explore the world.<br />n<br />n<img src="http://nowherethoughts.net/pics/bums05162005.jpg">

Cow in Labor
One day, a cattle farmer heard one of his cows lowing out in the mud pit behind the barn. It sounded like she was in hard labor. He went out, and, sure enough, it was a breech. <br />n<br />nHe tried to turn the calf around, but it was too late — the legs were…

After Storm Pictures
Luckily there was no flooding around here but we are so high on the drainages that there isn't much area to gather up and cause flooding for us. To start with I have a picture of the snow heavy on the trees and grass.<br />n<br />n<center><div class="serendipity_imageComment_center" style="width: 110px"><div class="serendipity_imageComment_img"><a href='http://www.sarpysam.com/sarpysam/uploads/snow05132005.JPG' target='_new'><img width='110' height='73' border='0'…

Birthday
One last note on today. Today is my son's birthday and I wish I could be with him. It's still too muddy to get around but by tomorrow it should be okay. I miss my wife and kids so and to miss my son's birthday really hurts.
