• Governments collect more in gas taxes than the largest US oil companies earn in profits.
  Did you know this?
  Our US and State governments tax us and profit almost 3-1 to oil companies!
  Guess who is going to raise those taxes even more on EVERYBODY?

  That picture I put here yesterday, of my skates…..
  What an awful photograph! I hated that photo so much I threw it out of iPhoto. Yes, I just tossed it in the trash!

  Presently I am full of Chinese food.
  We got delivery. sichuan beef and moo goo gai pan.
  hubby and I got each others fortunes though….
  mine: You take an optimistic view of life.
  hubby: You are a bundle of energy, always on the go.
  He is more optimistic than me
  and
  he has never ever ever been described/associated with/or compared to a bundle of anything.
  he does have a bundle of brains though…. hmm

  Most of the businesses in my neighborhood are talking seriously about shutting down after BHO becomes president…
  more taxes mean higher prices, mean less customers.
  We have three shopping centers with several small businesses, locally owned shops.
  I would say 4 are seriously frightened about their future here in the B-lands.
  One business just backed out. Empty building.

  Well, Obama is off to a promising start indeed:
  1) creates international incident with the leader of Poland
  2) calls Nancy Reagan to apolgise for an embarrassing “gaffe” (false accusation)
  3) Installed Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff, a gesture that will foster bipartisanship and unity in America. LOL

  Gosh, I have not accomplished much this week-end.
  Let’s see, I cleaned half of the garage in the pouring rain – my half. yes, I will do hubby’s half next week. It just got really ugly outside and we had to quit.
  I need to put the yard tools in the basement and get the leaf rake from the basement. We have a few leaves… like maybe 100
  now that we have a fence I need to get those leaves out of the corners so we can mow them
  and I did some mindless cleaning up. around the domicile.

  I need to trim Pierro’s claws. They are getting sharp, but he is not a scratchy guy.
  Still I need to trim them.
  
  I am typing with a kitten on my lap.
  He is a very cuddly boy.
  
  These are taken with Photobooth on my MacBook Pro.
  so they are not the greatest…
  Oh, well, it is also evening here.
  I took this one yesterday morning when it was lighter in the house:
  
  yesyes, I just rolled out of bed. I took this and sent it off to Blizzie at college. She sends me lots of pics.
  so, this is the leeeeast I can do.
  Princess is 17 and a half now. she is so adorable.

  Here are some better shots of my skates, better lighting.
  as usual “click to biggify”

  

  that “crud” around the soleplate and the sole is not crud really
  It is wax to water proof the leather soles
  I do not have to wax around the heel plate because
  …. that is a bit of plastic on the bottom of the heel
  any leather on the bottoms of my boots I wax 2x a year
  That in itself is an interesting process
  Most people pay the sharpener to do waxing but it is easy
  and I am extremely picky.

  

  

  Now I need to go and do a zillion things because tomorrow is my skate day

  here is another one, gosh he is sooo adorable and cute
  
  I hope you are having a wunnerful wunnerful week-end.
  Well, it is over pretty much here.
  Hubby has meetings tomorrow in town.
  Pierro will guard the house… haha no not really. He is a fraidycat.
  What are your plans for the week?
  Do you have a busy one?

  We humans have had free will since Adam.
  God said don’t eat the fruit of that tree.
  He didn’t say, don’t eat the fruit of that tree,
  because I will stop you.
