The Musings of My Life and World.

I keep hearing people saying that "You need a blog." So here it is!

"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.  These [words] are the delights and dilemmas of one who cannot"   -- Aldo Leopold from A Sand County Almanac

From what I have heard and read, a BLOG is anything to express yourself or your views. Many blogs no one reads other than the Blogger. Kind of an online diary. I hope to provide a unique prospective.

17 June 2008 - I had hoped this to be a daily or at least every other day thing, but I am working harder than ever to just keep up. When million dollar horse owners stop buying, things are bad. The veterinary industry has always been pretty much recession proof, but this time it is taking a toll.

My new assistant, Kathleen, is working hard to get sales packets out to prospects and take care of existing customers. Look for our ad in the August issue of Dog Fancy magazine for Veterinary Immune Tabs.

At the same time, I appreciate all of your concerns about the recent flooding here in southern Wisconsin. It is bad. Last weekend we were basically land locked. You could only go South towards Chicago. North, East and West roads were flooded. Right now you can't go to Milwaukee because of flooding on I-94. Hoping it clears up in a week as we have tickets to Stevie Wonder at Summerfest.

I measure the rainfall for the NWS amd a week ago, the 2 inches per hour rainfall was too much for the gutters and the slope of the house, so the basement flooded. A dehumidifier, fan and an Oxyfresh Air Ozone machine are working well to control the situation.

All in all, I will still take the weather in Wisconsin over just about any place. So what if we had 107 inches of snow last winter, I tell Charlie that 20 below standing at the bus stop builds character!   It is the middle of June and today the high temp was 75 with vivid blue skies and cumulus humulus. We havc had two days over 80. 

10 June 2008 - I really don't think that ever in my 53 years have I felt so strongly about a Presidential election.  In fact, I may set up a special politics page!

To put my politics on the line, here is my past voting record:

Ford

Reagan (twice)

Bush the First

Perot

Dole

Gore

Kerry

You can draw your own conclusions. I had an Epiphany! Back in 2000, I really did not know who I was going to vote for. I did some online thing where you put in your beliefs and values and it calculated who you should vote for. It came back 68% for Gore. I have never been the same.

After the monumentally disastrous presidency of the "W", I am committed to doing all that I can to prevent "Bush's Third Term".  Grampy McCain has voted with the "W" 95% of the time in 2007 and 100% in 2008.

There was a time when I said that I could vote for McCain; and there was a time when I was opposed to Barack Obama because I thought he was lacking of substance and too inexperienced.

The "W" was the Gov of Texas. Big woop! What was his experience? His experience was cocaine and Jack Daniels and running companies into bankruptcy, just as he has bankrupted our country politically, financially and morally through his immoral war in Iraq and so many other things.

- Iraq - the single greatest foreign policy debacle in our nation's history

- Environment - Global Warming, CAFE's, ANWAR, the list goes on!

- The Deficit - This nation had a surplus in 2000. We are now TRILLIONS of dollars in debt. What happened to Republicans being fiscally responsible?

- Gas Prices - W and Cheney are making money somehow. The president and vice president are both oil men. Dah?

- The fall of the Dollar (is killing me!)

- Domestic Spying - This is America, not Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany

- Health Care - Should be a right of EVERY CITIZEN! We pay more and get less than any country in the world.

- "No Child Left Behing" - what a joke!

- Katrina - "Your doing a great job Brownie."

THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON!.

I will do everything in my power to see that Obama is elected in '08!

Actually, I don't think there is much of an issue. People have been coming out in record numbers to register as Democrats and vote in the primaries. I see LANDSLIDE in November as we make history and elect the first Black as President of the United States.
