So true!!!

Just moved to Texas ! Now this is a state that knows how to live!!

Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings.

What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:

Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem.

Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car.

What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this.

I'm turning into a sun worshipper.

June 30th:

Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today.

Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain..

No more mowing the lawn for me.

Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:

The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week.

How do people get used to this kind of heat?

At least, it's kind of windy though.

But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:

Fell asleep by the community pool.

(Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body).

Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do.

I learned my lesson though.

Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:

I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into

the car when I left this morning.

By the time I got to the hot car at noon,

Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a

shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon.

The car now smells like Kibbles and $hits.

I learned my lesson though.

No more pets in this heat.

 Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:

The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!!

And it's hot as hell.

The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the

AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and

tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:

Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now,

$225,000 house and I can't even go inside.

Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:

It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today.

It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85.

I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:

If another wise a$$ cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?'

I'm going to strangle him. D@mn heat.

By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over,

my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:

Tried to run some errands after work.

Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car,

I thought my a$$ was on fire.

My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh

and all the hair on the back of my legs and a$$ . . .

Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried a$$, and baked cat.

Aug 10th:

The weather report might as well be a d@mn recording.

Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny.

It's been too hot to do $hit for 2 d@mn months and

the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.

Doesn't it ever rain in this d@mn state?

Water rationing will be next, so my $1700

worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over.

Even the cactus can't live in this d@mn heat.

Aug. 14th:

Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today.

Cactus are dead..

Forgot to crack the window and blew the d@mn

windshield out of the car.

The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me???

"Hot enough for you today?"

My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.

Freaking Texas .

What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here??

Will write later to let you know how the trial goes..

Gates

At this stage we all know of the unbridled racism that Henry Gates spewed at law officers late last month. But did you know that he is a member of the US Postal Service Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee? This committee reviews and selects subjects and artwork for US postage stamps.

African American Heritage and Culture Series Stamps: On Feb 21, 2009 Gates participated in a first day ceremony in New York City to welcome the 42 cent Civil Rights Pioneers pane of six stamps.

And Gates himself has appeared on a stamp.

The 1998 Great Writers of the 20th Century set of six from Ghana includes a 350-cedi stamp honoring gates (Scott 2027f)  --Linns.com

Should I find myself unemployed again for any long period of time I should be very careful with what I promise God. "Please God, I need a job, any job will do. Just please send one my way..." 

Do you believe in ghosts? If you believe in christianity then I feel you must. How can we believe what the bible states and not believe in ghosts?

Obama says economic recovery depends on healthcare

10 Downing Street is one of the most heavily guarded buildings in Britain. Apart from the decorative policeman, the front door cannot be opened at all from the outside because it has no handle, and no one can enter the building without passing through an airport-style scanner and a set of security gates manned by armed guards. In the first five years after Tony Blair became Prime Minister, 37 computers, 4 mobile phones, two cameras, a mini-disc player, a video recorder, four printers, two projectors and a bicycle were stolen from inside the house.

  

Vast, awkward house. WILLIAM PITT THE YOUNGER

With news that Congress has passed its ballyhooed $1 billion “Cash for Clunkers” bill, we feel compelled to voice our skepticism about the program. Here’s the bill in a nutshell: Buyers of new vehicles between July 1 and November 1 will be given a voucher for $3500 if they forfeit a post-1984 car or truck that has been registered for at least one year and has a combined fuel economy rating at least 4 mpg lower than their new vehicle. The voucher grows to $4500 if the increase in fuel economy is 10 mpg or higher. The old car or truck is then crushed and recycled.

Here are five reasons we don’t think this program is worth the time it took to draft it, let alone a billion dollars:

1. The voucher replaces the trade-in deal you might otherwise get from the dealership; it’s not in addition to the car’s private sale or trade-in value. In other words, if you’re trading in a car that’s worth $3000, your net gain is only $500. Although if your car is worth $100, CFC couldn’t come at a better time.

2. We’re not sure how many folks driving cars worth $3500 or less are in the market for a new car in the first place. Sure, there’s the occasional fresh-out-of-college new-hire (we’re not sure who’s hiring right now, but we’ll play make-believe) that might still be ready to move from a Dodge Omni to a shiny new Honda Insight, but people driving cheap old beaters are probably doing so because they can’t afford a new car. And $3500 doesn’t go far when the average transaction price of new cars hovers around $24K. The vouchers don’t apply toward the purchase of used cars, for which the majority of old beaters are traded in.

3. People driving large, gas-gulping old cars and trucks often do so because they need the utility those vehicles provide. Old station wagons, for example, have few modern counterparts that are as versatile while achieving better fuel economy. Ditto pickups, which have gotten bigger and more capable but not much more fuel-efficient. And if the government thinks that someone is going to step out of a 1994 Dodge Ram into a Honda Fit, they need to get out of D.C. a little more often.

4. Naturally, we have some reservations about any bill designed to facilitate wiping out—we’re sorry, recycling—any automotive species. And let’s face it, while there are a lot of bona fide clunkers out there, we’re afraid that a bunch of future classics will get caught in this roundup. We propose, then, that a certified auto enthusiast (paid, of course) be placed at all certified CFC dealerships to screen the cars that are brought in, returning the cool cars—including anything with T-tops—to the streets.

5. Besides cleansing the U.S. of gas-guzzling pigs, the other supposed benefit of the CFC program is to provide a short-term boost to the starving auto business. However, we hope these legislators don’t expect it to meaningfully help the domestic automakers. Many of the automobiles with fuel-economy ratings high enough to qualify for the vouchers come from Japan and Korea.

On the bright side, the cost to taxpayers will be minimal when no one actually participates.
