Yesterday? Hmmmmm,....now just what the hell did I do????? Oh yeah.....I spent some time in the yard.....and it appeared that it rain at any time, but it really didn't do that until later in the day....or perhaps I should say......evening.
The 1st Lady left during the afternoon to go up to her mother's for a few day.....at least through the weekend. I spent a bit of time doing some cleaning inside, after spending some time in the yard......but, I finally just returned to inside TheHowserHouse stick and brick and enjoyed a new novel that I have started.....one of Robert Ludlum's.
TODAY????? I slept in....well, that's not quite true. Around 4am.....I was awakened by the winds and driving rain.....and it took awhile to return to a deep sleep. This morning it was raining...and then raining....and more raining.....and it was just plain ugly outside. Now, to counter that, the grass returned to it's lovely green colors overnight with all of that moisture soaking into the very, very hard and dry dirt, so that was refreshing this morning, even with the rains still pounding outside!
About mid-morning, I gave up on waiting for a drier few moments and jumped into the very wet truck and went to town to take care of some errands and drop off a couple of checks for some monthly bills.....cheaper than using the Federal stamps....haha!!
Last night, I watched Ms Palin's speech and the focus on her family, albeit that was a bit toooo much, especially for the young father-to-be.....to be the center of sooo much focus, as everyone had the same thoughts on their minds during those on-camera times. Everyone has their own unique family problems, and everyone knows that everybody else has problems, but it doesn't have to be broadcast to the world, does it? Now...we are in a different "world" now and they shouldn't feel like they have to go into hiding......but, it was a bit much last night......a bit of over-kill for political purposes....without regard for those unfortunate young people!
The people who wrote her speech managed to get it changed from a "masculine speech", as they said...into a speech for a female. She delivered it very well.....the pauses, the voice inflections, the sometimes right facial expressions, and the timing were there as they should have been......however, where was the substance??? The one-liners were good and she delivered them well, but we really still don't know what she is like, do we? A small town mayor...the size of F'town....and less than two years of defending Alaska from the invasions of Russia across the Bering Strait with her job as Commander in Chief of the National Guard (which she legally can't do because the Feds control the Guard in those types of conflicts).......none of this does qualify her for the possibility of having to become President.......as she cannot possibly "be ready on the 1st day". Anyone who believes otherwise......well, think a bit deeper.. about her sitting across the table from Russia's Putin negotiating nuclear missile treaties, as well as soooooo many other scary possibilities that would rise their ugly heads.........possibilities that never happened to give her knowledge and experience while she was Mayor of Wasilla, or even as the Gov of Alaska with a population of less than the city of Indianapolis, IN. Yep.....this is a very scary situation that we might have to face and become a part of............
And sooooo, another two days of my Life have passed by....quickly. WOW......this, too, is scary.....I am only 6.5 years younger than John S. McCain.....DAMN!!!!! But, anyway.......I still know that as of right now.......
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
