I remember you...

another one I missed...

2008-06-15T11:03:00.000-07:00

2006 was one of those tough years for me, and it's not hard to believe I missed this, by one of my all-time favorite bands...Mark King always said “you can measure a great song by if you can sing it in the shower!” There's plenty of that here...go to Level42.com to order Retroglide...IT'S AMAZING!

Campaign of hate (aka ignorance)

2008-05-27T10:25:00.000-07:00

Here's the latest beauty I can't let go...sit back and get ready for a laugh!

FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!!!

Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working
in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well.
They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos
here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence
(over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead.

Obama under 'friends of Obama' gave almost a million dollars to the
opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga,
who is a socialist trained in East Germany. He has been trying to bring
Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for
trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries
from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily.
As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he
will use the same tactic, crying rigged election if he doesn't win and
possibly cause a race war in America.

What we would like you to know is what the American press has been
keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and
this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning.
Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for
20 years this July! He is not an American as we know it. Please
encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that
are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. All our friends in Europe
are very disturbed by the Muslim infiltration into their countries. By
the way, his true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won't that
sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!

God Bless you.

Pray for us here in Kenya. We are still fighting for our nation to
withstand the same kind of assault that every nation, including America,
is fighting...takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As
believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya, not
one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down,
some with people in them, burned alive.
Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has
infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they
can compromise and survive. It won't be so. I will send you a
newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner
what I've tried to say in a few paragraphs.

Love, Celeste

For the birds...

Here's a little robin that fell to earth...we have not seen him/her lately, but we know it did survive for a few days.
Also on this day I saw a Pileated Woodpecker and Golden Finch...what a spring among the lilacs!

Not bad for training all Winter on a nicked up ankle.
A great day to be a Giant!
Notice the runners badge with TWO great former Giants numbers, 11 & 98!

KILL KILL KILL

America shows its understanding of nature by killing and destroying.

Regarding the cougar that was killed by Chicago police in urban Chicago Monday. Here's a quote from the Chicago Tribune that really sickens the soul...

“A spokesman for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources said Monday that the state's current wildlife code does not protect cougars because they are not considered a normal part of the ecosystem here. The official said the only state regulations that might come into play would be gun ordinances, but because police did the shooting that issue is moot. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists the Eastern cougar as endangered. But police could not confirm whether the cougar shot Monday was an Eastern cougar...”

Cole's hat trick performances that night included piano and drums!
Well done, Cole!

Ricks Of Fear?

2008-02-17T11:48:00.000-08:00

“A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security:” - John Adams

This man is one of the conservative heroes, supposedly.
Where have their principles, virtues, manners, quest for truth and knowledge gone?
Under the ricks of fear, apparently. (submitted by RGV)
