Too Hot To Fish, Too Hot For Golf, and Too Cold in This Classroom

I am beginning to get very concerned about this summer. I have enjoyed the nicer weather, but I really hope that the high temperatures are not an indicator of what is to come for the summer.

Bea Arthur
I've tried several times to write and post a tribute to one of my true loves that has gone on to her reward, Bea Arthur. Me and Donald are sending flowers, and the card attached will say, "Thank you for being a friend. The Millers, BIrmingham, Alabama".



Happy 100 Days!
Well, Barack Obama has been the President for 100 days. We are still here and basic services are still operating. Overall, I have not been any more displeased with him than I was with W there are the end. The only thing that bothers me is that Obama must think that I'm an idiot. We just spent $1 Trillion which was added to the national deficit, and at the same time he is talking about his "comprehensive look at government" and his pledge to cut the national debt by $1 Trillion over the next 10 years. Translation:" I'm about to spend a ridiculous amount of money, but if you let me do it, after that I'll get serious and I'll start getting us back to fiscal discipline."

It's kind of like a husband saying to his wife, "I'm about to cheat on you, but don't worry because once I get this out of my system I will immediately turn my attention to our marriage and getting it back to where it should be".

If we are spending $1 Trillion now, and we are looking to save $1 Trillion over 10 years, would it not be easier to just not spend the money now? . If we need to spend a bunch of money, do it and tell me you are doing it. If we are going to try to cut the deficit, tell me and do it. Don't try to make me think you are doing both at the same time. I'm dumb, but I'm not stupid. I'm just saying.

I Saw God Yesterday
I hate it when I see opportunities to live the faith that I hold, but manage to find ways to blow it. It happened last night. There was a mute homeless guy in the restaurant we were eating in and he came up with a piece of paper asking me to buy him something to eat. I brushed him off but eventually decided that I was going to do it, so I called the waitress over and told her to cook the guy a pizza and take it to him, but not to tell him who bought it.

The waitress told me that he was in there all the time and that I shouldn't do it because he was scamming me and she talked me out of doing it. I didn't really think about it again until I was in the car going home and it hit me, "Why did I let a waitress decide if someone was hungry?" I'm not sure how it happened, but I'll go back next week and hope he is there. I won't get talked out of it again.
