UPDATES…
Mom is some better she is not coughing
as much and feels some stronger and that is quite the
improvement. Last night she used V**KS on the bottoms
of her feet and covered them with socks. Her breathing was
better and her coughing did not stop, but was much less.
I got this idea from an e mail but I never thought I would
have to use it so soon. Neither of us have been sick in quite
a long time. It was not a cure but I do believe it helped.
I did not use the same method but used …drugs.. they
seem to work.

I have updated the SPACEWALK SPACE. I have added
a wonderful new space worth visiting over and over. If you haven’t
been there I think you will really enjoy it.

YESTERDAY

president count.

Pasco County, FL: The elections supervisor in Pasco rejected a
request from a local nudist resort to erect clothing-optional
polling booth for their community. Supervisor Brian Corley
said that even though state law does not preclude nude voting,
there is not enough time to consider and act on the request this year.

mailing telling Spanish-speaking voters that Election Day is Sunday,

MONDAY NEWS…
Got all the yard work done yesterday and then went shopping
for some winter food supplies. I noticed that many prices had
risen just since the last time I had shopped there. Milk was 3.05 in
one place and 2.89 in another so there is quite a price range if
you look for it. I think now,
more than ever, people are shopping for the bargains and the sales
items. I am all for the prices being reduced so we get more
for the dollar. Gas prices today were 2.71 I just still cannot
believe the drop. Makes me want to buy up containers and fill
them up. I know, I know.. I wouldn’t really do it.. makes me
want to though.

In case you had not heard. COLIN POWELL came out and endorsed
Obama. I have no idea why he waited so long to let his choice be
known. I guess he was weighing all the pros and cons of each
candidate. I can only say that once upon a time I was All for
POWELL running for office and thought he would make a wonderful
President. It was a real disapointment when he declined running
for any policitcal office. Being a republican for many many years,
and serving in the BUSH sr. administration it was a surprise that
he endorse a democrat.

In my travels yesterday I ran across these two displays in a neighboring
city. They had a contest with scarecrow displays throughout the
city. These two really were very creative. I have no idea who won
the contest. Below was cute and not scary at all. Not the typical scarecrows.

WHO’s CALLING PLEASE???
I don’t know about you all, but I am getting really
sick of all those calls and No one is on the line.. well
not until you say HELLO more than once! Then you get the
automated voice saying.. “DON’T be alarmed, but this is
your last warning!” WHAT THE??? Scared my mother to
pieces! I have gotten so many of those voice things lately
I went out and bought a new answering machine. My old one
was over 10 years old and bit the dust. That warning was about
car insurance and we don’t have insurance with their company.
I AM ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST..
Things were so good until this election thing started.. so many
political calls.. I could care less.. 99% of them are automated and
you can’t even tell them TO STOP CALLING. What a mess!
Hope you all are not plagued by them, Mom has gotten pretty
used to the machine now. She just decides on when and if
she feels like answering. My take on it is.. I monitor the machine
first and then answer them. Anyway.. the day the election is over
I sure will be glad!! I will be glad that it will be four years before we
have to go through it again.

The debate went well in my opinion. I wish they all had been
like this one was. A real view on what they each thought and how
they interacted with each other. McCain came out well and
kept Obama on his toes. I was glad I saw most of it and could
make an opinion of my own on how it went. Hope it helped a lot
of people decide for sure who they want for their president.

Bought gas tonight for 2.85 a gallon.. neighboring stations were
selling it for 2.91. I have heard that it may rise again.Hope that is
not true!

RED, YELLOW, GREEN…
Apparently both candidates are so anxious to get
their views across to the pubic,( in the debates)
that they don’t pay
attention at all to those lights that are there to help
keep things going . I just could see the
frustration in the moderator trying to keep them on
point and moving along. At one time, McCain told
Brokaw to just wave his arm. Long answers that sometimes
were not on the subject.. I cannot see a whole lot
of difference between this debate and the other one.
When ask a question, you really should answer it so
the people understand what it is your are saying.
I guess I just remember debates of the past that
were the back and forth kind that really made the
public sit back and take notice. When they were over
you really got a clear grasp of the candidate, and what
he stood for. You knew right away who won and who was
the best person for the job. My own opinion is that I am
just not “getting” that yet. Mark me as still confused.

Rainy here today.. but the weekend looks wonderful with high
70′s. I really need some of that to finish up my yard work.
The signal light on our car went out and the first place I thought
of was the same place I went before A Zone and the helpful
people who work there. He not only helped me in the store, but
outside showing me how to change the bulb. NOW it only took
5 minutes tops.. a garage anywhere would have charged me
labor for it. So I tried to pay him something and he wouldn’t take it.
I offered him cookies instead.. He perked up saying “chocolate chip
Please!” so guess I will be making cookies soon. Service like that
gets me as a return customer for sure.
GAS is way down to 3.13 here and milk is still 3.49 -3.79..
I noticed that shelves are stocked for a canned good sale
and I will be getting my supplies for the winter months ahead.
You cannot beat 4/1.00 canned foods anywhere.
