That Dumb Broom

Well this has been a day of memories. I remember how much I hated to sweep things up. Poor Dave my son always got the task of sweeping when he was young. But you know something I think I did him a favor because he knows how to sweep now...

Today I took on the task of cutting the dead branches from the palm trees.

After I finish I was left with a pile of palm frongs...

that ended up in the garbage can. But you know what I hated more than spending 2 hours doing the job was sweeping up the small amount of leaves that were left when I finished the pile. Ah but alas...the outside vacuum cleaner...took care of the problem and the broom went in the trash...

Our Sorry Politicians

Guess it has been a while since I have written anything. I am compelled to write because of what is happening in our country right now. I faxed to everyone from George Bush down including Barack Obama and John McCain not to throw money at a bail out. And what has happened - Nothing except all of our tax bills have increased. And now Pelosi wants to waste another $300 billion for what? If our country depends on our top leaders to solve the problem we have a problem. Neither George Bush, John McCain, or Barack Obama have shown any leadership or proposed anything to tackle the problem except throw money at it. Now investors are waiting to see what the government is going to do before they step up to the plate to begin investing again. The spiral continues downward. The best thing that could have happened was nothing. The free market would have taken care of the problem without the government doing anything. Yes there would be a great deal of pain but the country would be much stronger as a result of it...
