Endorsements
The whole idea of public employees giving endorsements to candidates for public office have always bothered me. But <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/16/build/state/30-patrol-courtraces.inc" target="_blank">this one</a> really bothers me. I realize as citizens they have opinions but what right do they have to endorse people. The only thing that this causes for me is to be suspicious of who…

Hero
I always like stories about people doing heroic things. A <a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/GoodMorningAmerica/hero_toddler_040916.html" target="_blank">3-year old</a> saving his mom and brother in two seperate incidents in one week merits special mention though. Not many kids have this much cool to do the right thing.<br />n<br />n<b>We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the…

Scary
Residents of Billings should <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/15/build/local/75-state-bar-meeting.inc">run for their lives on Friday</a>. I've been around lawyers, I wouldn't be too sure if it's a meeting of the bar, or at the bar. <br />n<br />n<b>The question arises … whether all lawyers are the same. This is like asking whether everything that gets into a sewer is…

Gathering
Two days with rain in a row. A record for this year. I was going to start gathering my far pasture yesterday to get ready to ship. About 3:00 AM it started raining so after looking the weather forecast over I decided I could wait a day and try today. Why ride in the rain…

Tattoos
My oldest daughter is to that age where she thinks tattoos and piercings are pretty neat. She knows that they are not allowed, except for one piercing in each ear, as long as she is in the house. I keep telling her that they might seem cool now but down the road when you have…

Learning
I always like to learn something new and interesting, that's why I really like the Internet and the access it gives me to information. Sometimes the information is important and other times the information is more trivial like an item I run across today. <br />n<br />nWhat is the largest church in Alaska?<br />n<!–more–><br />n<a…

Planted
Between the <a href="http://www.swiftvets.com/" target="_blank">Swift Boat Vet's</a> accusations against Kerry and now the <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=%5CPolitics%5Carchive%5C200409%5CPOL20040909d.html" target="_blank">documents about Bush</a>, are they or are they not fake, I am all ready really tired of this election. <br />n<br />nThis though really tickeled my fancy.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.thedailyfarce.com/politics.cfm?story=2004/09/politics_bushmilitaryrecordsarefakedanscrewedup_09200400010" target="_blank">Bush Guard Documents Fake; Dan Rather: 'Forged documents were planted…

Mental
Rep. Ron Paul <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40384" target="_blank">failed in his attempt</a> to remove the new <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39078" target=_blank">mandatory mental-health screening program</a> that Bush has proposed, by a wide margin. I thought for sure that congress would pass his amendment stripping it from the appropriations bill since it is not only a financial drain on our country but…
