Happy Birthday Michael Legel! |
United States Mint Diretor Ed Moy holds a prototype of the design of a commemorative coin to be issued in 2009 in honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Braille following a National Federation of the Blind annual convention Wednesday, July 2, 2008, in Dallas. The Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar is the first U.S. Coin to contain legible Braille characters.
All this publicity for a Braille coin which will never be minted for the public to use. It is nice to acknowledge Mr. Braille, but why not actually help the blind by circulating Braille coins? |
Construction Site
There was this Spanish guy, this Korean guy and this Russian guy all working for the same construction company. At the beginning of the day the boss comes out and says to the Spanish guy, “You’re in charge of the cement.”
Then he said to the Russian guy, “You’re in charge of the dirt.”
Then he said to the Korean guy, “You’re in charge of the supplies.”
Then he said, “I’m gonna be back at the end of the day to check on your work. It better be good or you’re fired.” So they all go off to go get their work done.
At the end of the day, the boss comes back to check on their work. He looks at the big pile of cement and goes, “Good work,” to the Spanish guy.
Then he looks at the big pile of dirt and says, “Good work,” to the Russian guy.
Then he couldn’t find the Korean guy so he asks, “Where the heck is the Korean guy?”
All of a sudden, the Korean guy jumps out from behind the big pile of dirt and yells, “SUPPLIES!” |
On the ABC News website the headline reads, “Obama Tries to Explain Iraq Stance”
Click on that and you get, “Obama Struggles to Explain Iraq Stance”
All because Obama said he would “refine” his withdrawal of troops when elected. I don’t know why all these so-called journalists don’t just blow up a great big picture of them all kissing McSame’s ass and call it NEWS. I’ve been following this for some time and Obama has been crystal clear and consistent ... the only flip-flopping is how the media tries to suck up to McSame. Of course Big Money Media doesn’t want an honest President ... they would like to trade the doddering idiot Duh-bya for the senile doddering fool McSame so they can continue to run networks like Faux and call it news. |

We got this picture of a butcher block from Noah with the question, “Do you know anything about this company?”

Just in case you didn’t know.....
They make excellent butcher blocks, counters, etc....!
That is neat that they saw one out west.
Trivia:
Boos butcher blocks have even been a prize on “Price is Right!

| DD, Mom, Tracey and I enjoyed dinner together and then adjourned to Mom’s trailer for a lengthy gripe session. During the discussion DD mentioned one of her co-workers asking about her plans for the Fourth of July ... DD said she replied she didn’t celebrate wars and wasn’t doing anything. She said her co-worker was left rather slack jawed by this reply. After some further discussion and some thought I have to agree with her. She asks the question, “Don’t you think there are veterans of wars who don’t particularly appreciate the sounds of shell and gunfire represented by fireworks going off all around them? For those poor shell shocked veterans the Fourth of July is a yearly period of wracked nerves jumping at every bang and boom. We celebrate the declaration of war against England by recreating those sights and sounds. Now there is another angle compared to all the patriotic hurrah? |
