Yesterday I left at5am and was home by 1:45 in the afternoon. Although I drove 500 miles, it didn’t seem all that bad. Meanwhile the misses went to acupuncture and finally found some relief. For the first time in 2 months, she said her head was a 5 out of 10! This is great news as the best it had been before then was 7 or 8 out of 10. Let’s hope it holds.
Last night was the kids school auction which we had to show up for. We arrived around 6:30 and were on the way home by about 8:30 after a few adult beverages and bidding on some activities for the kids. I couldn’t sleep much and woke up at 4:30 and it’s now a bit after 5.
Today is St Patricks Day, whoo hoo. Now we’re not big party people these days but we’ll try to do something fun for the kids. Did you know St Patrick wasn’t irish? He was born in Britain. Also the original color of St Patricks Day was blue, not green. So there’s your useless information for the day.
Not much on tv at 4:30 on a Saturday morning but ladies, I have to tell you, I think this Brazilian Butt Lift program actually looks like it works!
I have a few more loads of wine to ship out on Monday and one to deliver to Longmont. It’s much much closer than Grand Junction where I went yesterday, about 200 miles closer.
I’m sick of all the tv ads being run by the Obama campaign. Sorry to dive into politics, but they just flat out lie. (lots of ads on at 5am also, I’d better switch back to Brazilian Butts!) I cannot believe how they “twist the truth” to fit their agenda. Bottom line is, we need less government. They need to get out of our lives. Here’s a few interesting quotes from history which if you don’t know, is a good teacher and always repeats itself.
“With the exception only of the period of the gold standard, practically all governments of history have used their exclusive power to issue money to defraud and plunder the people.” – Friedrich A. Hayek, 1974 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics
“Corruptisima republica plurimae leges.” (“The more corrupt a republic, the more laws.”) – Tacitus , The Annals of Imperial Rome
“A black market is a free market operating against the wishes of the state.” – Harry Browne
Chew on those, we’re headed in the wrong direction. Stop intruding into every aspect of our lives. Enough already. Ok ok, I’ll stop for now but sooner or later, we’re going to have to face it or everything we do everyday will be somehow regulated. People are like frogs. Did you know you can put a frog in a pot of cold water on the stove and turn on the heat and it’ll just sit there as the water boils until it’s cooked to death. People are the same way, we just sit around and slowly watch all our rights be taken away a little bit at a time and don’t seem to notice or care. Imagine if your grandparents came back to life or if you were in a coma for 20 years and you woke up. You’d be stunned at what you’re told you can now do or worse, can’t do! Alright I’ll stop as I’m sure I’ve lost some of you already but people better wake up or before you know it, you’ll have no rights left at all. Think about it, it doesn’t matter if you’re a republican or democrat, our freedom is being taken away, enough said.
Time to run as it’s now 5:36. I’m a bit tired, wish I could go back to sleep. Have a good weekend and if you drink, don’t drive! Take care and God Bless,
