On this 4th of July I feel compelled to write about the beauty that is America. We are so blessed to live where free commerce and liberty abound, (keeping in mind the theory of relativity.)
Capitalism is alive and strong here in the good ol' USA. Some neighbor kids came by this morning to borrow a cooler and/or wagon so they could sell soda on the parade route. Like any good American I charged them a rental fee, One can of ice cold soda.
It makes me proud to be an American.
The Wife wanted to watch this show. It stars Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo.
It is a remake of the 1968 film by the same name. I liked it.
A widowed Coast Guard Admiral meets his high school sweetheart, a handbag
designer also a widower. While on the cruiseship for their high school reunion,
the fires ignite and by the time the ship docks they have tied the knot.
The sparks begin to fly as her 10 children and his 8 kids meet. They make a
truce only to plot to break their parents up.
I give this flick a 4 can rating. So pop some popcorn and enjoy this one.
The big one is this Friday. Pirates of the Carribbean 2. Wahoo!!
I don't know what it is but I LOVE minitrucks. I currently own an '88 S15. To get an idea of what I am talkin' bout, you need to check out Layin' Body.com. I can't wait to trick my truck out.
Maybe it's the air suspension that is so alluring. I can hardly hold back my anticipation. I want to be able to layout the truck while cruisin' down the road and throwin' sparks. Perhaps it's the 20 inch rims that shine in sun.
You can't overlook the details. That is what separates the interested and the passionate. I think that, however, is within every arena of "sport." You will have those individuals who do enough and those who will forever push the envelope.
So if you're going to do it.....
Put the pedal to the floor, let the air out and the sparks fly!
We voted today in our Republican Primary. We were able to try out the new machines. They are pretty cool. In fact I would definitely encourage their use.
If you haven't used them, I will give you a synopsis.
The poll worker gives you a "voter" card, sort of like a library card with the little chip in it.
The voting machine accepts it, kind of like an ATM machine. It snaps in but you can still see it.
It is then all done with the touch screen. You can back up, check a candidate, uncheck, recheck.
After that, on a register tape the machine prints your ballot. (You only see your ballot.)
At this point you actually have 2 retries in case you change your mind.
So then you finish and the tape rolls out of sight.
I think they will be good for the country.
Then again as the saying goes,
"To err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer!"
