Basically Kokonut Your belief is that government is bad business is good. Great dream but not true. There is nothing I repeat nothing better for us human beings than good government. Prove to me otherwise. You cannot. Business is not government this is the great misunderstanding that...

if it would just stay sex it would be a mighty fine thing. Or not. It is a more enjoyable topic of discussion than it is a reality. Who would have thought I would say a thing like that? Who knows what the year will bring. I am in wait and see mode. Love is around the corner I can smell it or...

I want to live somewhere that when it is winter here I am riding my bike everyday exploring and having a blast.

I used to do those now Now I want to follow the harvest of cherries and apples and peaches and melons and grapes and all the the great vegetables and find where possible those extra good trees that have varieties that are never seen in the grocery stores but taste better than anything there. I...

At times when I am a little down That is when reading the biographies of the great men and women that have made their mark on our world is an uplifting experience. What all these people have in common is they kept going and doing to the best of their ability, right or wrong, they built each day...

I did read a new biography of Adams about 5 years ago. I do not know if that was it but it was an excellent book.

I was looking for a biography of him and the little used bookstore in Longview, Wa. happened to have that one. In this case the author schlepped his way through a staggering number of documents to actually build an action thread that made sense of Truman's rise to the top of the heap and the...

I can only speculate I do not recall their reasoning for building up timber stocks. It is a good thing to do though and diversifies an economy. Not to mention the whole theory of trees contribution to the health of the planet. Me I like working with trees and wood so I pay attention to news...

Why be married if your wife is not on your side? None of it is any of my business anyway. I do have a sense of deep concern for a fellow that is struggling. I know how it is to get "those" looks imagined or real that make you feel less than a man when troubled times are happening. That can gut...

a similar bat brained idea Surfaced in New Zealand where there was a large effort by the government a few years ago to get livestock growers to convert land from grazing to timber. Many of them did it. Then all of a sudden the government wants to tax them on the carbon value of their trees...

Instead of antidepessants buy Viagra Right now you are a sinking ship in your mind just waiting for the waters to close over your head and go by by. Here in America which is where you are, husbands and wives pull together in bad times and slug it out against everything bad that comes their...

If we are going to invest in future expansion into space the next logical step would be server farms on the moon complete with a science city and rocket launch facilities. The greatest random event threat to this enormous investment would be asteriod strikes. Thus we should see this coming...

congratulations! Getting past the halfway point is a happy milestone! I know myself too well to allow more than one card for myself. It has been a good thing but that line is always there. No righteousness here -- I have been all over the edge of the abyss, a few times hanging on by one...

in a place where their vote doesn't mean much.. those government workers are simply voting for their pay check in a way everyone can see. Doesn't mean a damn thing about what they really think.

the goal is best quality for reasonable cost After years of destroyed Behind The Ears - I work outdoors in all weather I was able to get digital ones that fill up the ear - the amplifier still was not big enough in them but they did not freeze my ears and were better in the wind and did not...

lets keep this thread going I have insurance but it does not cover hearing aids. I recently lost my digital hearing aids that I paid 6,400 dollars for. I actually needed better aids than those. All of the available options I have looked at here in Alaska I am facing markups of over 100%. It is...

sounds like a good one I have almost finished chugging through 600+ pages of "A life of Harry Truman" by Alonzo l. Hamby after reading "Thomas Paine: Enlightment, Revolution, and the Birth of Modern Nations by Craig Nelson. Favorite book of the year was The Life of Frances Perkins, by Kirsten...

It is the social life around swimming There you are out there with barely clothed females all around. If your are like me no ASL and cannot hear without hearing aids, it is another prime pickup place that is not so prime. daaammmit. Oh I forgot I have given up on all that.

The sad thing? Conservatives have not learned one single thing from what happened there. Not one. It is all someone elses fault. I have zero respect for that. I can respect people for making mistakes and learning from them to some extent. That bunch doesn't even try. That makes them more than...

Glad you could make it back home. I love it there in Southwest Washington.
