Thursday...Done!! Now Friday then Vacation!!

Well Thursday is finally over, a long day at work, a long commute both ways since most colleges are back in session and some private schools as well.

My wife and I stopped off at Concord, CA Sun Valley Mall (or whatever it is called!!) to get some comfy stuff for going to Reno, NV. on Sunday!! I know it is going to be hot as hades so I wanted a few of those sleeveless tank top things.

We are staying at the Atlantis for a few days to relax and check out some more of Reno!! We always find interesting stuff to check out, and this time I am bringing my resume!! We will also check out the Real Estate markets

Watching the Olympics and the US atheletes are not doing well in the track and field arena, but they are doing better then I would do. Actually the womens running relay did great! Yea!

The last day of the week will be easy we are just working from home tomorrow and dropping the truck off for service prior to the drive to Reno.

Ah, well I am going to check out some old samurai sword fighting techniques I found on the internet, put that boken to work!!

Well, what a f@cked up week, I cannot wait until it is over!!

My wife got into another argument with her mom over some family stuff...to long and drawn out to go over here...but if you are the youngest of 2 or more children when you were growing up the older got all of the attention and help where the youngest gets to fend for themself!

No matter what the older child does, there is always a reason (excuse!) but for some reason the youngest just get branded the trouble child!!

Families!!

Parents really need to take a minute and realize what they do when they baby the one child that messes everything up, or doesn't complete things. What message does that send to the rest of the family?

Not a good one!!

Well just picked up a check from Smith and Barney (stock sale!) to get us out of the hole that this Rogue-President has put us into!!

I am voting Democrat just to get this joker Bush defeated, then back to the Green or Independent Candidates for change!!

Right now the change we need is jobs, and international releation-building which are the 2 things that Democrats provide when in office!!

So if you want a job to sustain your existence in this Capitalist Society vote Democrat this November!!

The Calgary Sun: Suspects nabbed in art caper:

"Two Israeli nationals suspected of selling cheap art at inflated prices were taken into custody yesterday by Citizenship and Immigration officials with the assistance of Calgary cops. The two are suspected of going door-to-door in upscale neighbourhoods such as Mount Royal asking thousands of dollars for art they claim was created at an academy in Israel.

In fact, the items were purchased through a distributor in Asia for between $20 and $50."

"Convicted child molester arrested again

By Michelle Durant

Beginning earlier this year, Casey allegedly began taking one of the boys, who is under the age of 14, to sporting events and amusement parks in Orange County where he lived. Casey also bought the boy gifts and spoke in one letter about wanting to take him to a nude beach.

"A lot of people put in a lot of effort to take these guys off the streets."
