A beautiful very warm day........and a pleasant one at that. I was up a bit earlier than usual as I had to get the car down to the local glass replacement shop.........our front windshield has been severely cracked and we finally got an appointment to have it replaced. Soooo, after taking it to the shop, I walked back to the stick and brick....exercise time during a great morning!
I spent some time then online taking care of some business items and then went outside to help the 1st Lady move some concrete decorative blocks from the back patio to along the side of our lawn which joins our neighbor's lawn. She is erecting a very small block wall to delineate between our land and his.
This afternoon we went to Farmington for some errands......me: a much needed hair trim(all 68 hairs...remember, I lost a hair a couple of months ago???). Together then we went to Lowe's checking out the possible stainless steel refrigerators that are available. We have a small, but very large, problem with getting a new fridge to fit under our new kitchen cabinets. We have "frameless" cabs....and when the door opens, it will not clear the hinges on the new fridges. Hmmmm......we want a french door with the freezer on the bottom and they are all just about 1/8" to 1/4" to high for the doors to be able to open! So, we are trying to locate one that is just a bit lower than the doors........and we would like to stay with the GE Profile units, but that may not be possible..........staying with them because the "color" and grain of the stainless steel differs from one brand to another.....and we have all GE Profile appliances in the kitchen. Sooooo......a small, but large, problem to resolve.............
Returning late this afternoon, I learned of the announcement by McCain about "suspending the campaign". WHAT??????????!!!!!!!!! Hey....go back in history....a few decades and do some checking. We have had other major crisis's(sp?) during the campaigns.....and nothing was ever suspended, delayed, or cancelled because of them. He cannot even attend the Committee meetings that are working on this problem since he is not a member of the Committee! This appears to be another move by his campaign to deflect the news from the very new poll figures that came out today....which shows McCain dropping drastically behind Obama......and without much thinking one can understand that this has happened because of the erratic behavior of McCain during last week.......just as he has done with much of his career. Can he not walk and chew gum at the same time??? As was stated today......"Presidents have to deal with more than one crisis at one time. You cannot call a time out from the Presidency." Another very bad week for McCain......not to mention that dreadful, vote-hurting interview that Palin had today with Katie Couric......AND....McCain's pull-out and lie to David Letterman: He had to leave town and wouldn't make the show....and then it was disovered that he was being interviewed down the street by Katie Couric....AND....Letterman somehow got the camera from the interview, while it was going on, to show on HIS show...live! And THIS man wants to be our leader....a leader to restore our nation's dignity after the horrific 7+ years of the Bush and Co. administration??? This is not change from McCain......it is the same crap, full of lies, that we have had to live with for these past 7+ years.
Hmmmm.......another day of the surreal campaign, but ......what the hell.........for me,
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
Politics is just like driving a car: You put the car in "R" and you go backward. Put the car in "D" and you go forward!
