Today mid morning, we take off for Steamboat Lake to go camping. We’ve rented these little cabins (think of a big bathroom) that barely has room for the two sets of bunk beds, for the next two nights. There’s no bathroom, kitchen, or anything else, just two sets of beds. We’ll be cooking over a fire with our cast iron cookware and using an outhouse. They do have 2 coin operated showers (the misses can’t wait to see these!) somewhere at the campsite. On Friday we have a huge pontoon boat rented for 4 hours to cruise the lake and fish. It has a bbq on board and we’ll be cooking lunch on the water. Our new drama free friends are coming with us and have also rented a cabin. They have dentist appointments around noon today so they’ll leave Denver around 3pm. We’ll be up there with a fire and dinner going by the time they arrive. The misses and Rachel have been planning our meals for a week now and it looks like it’ll be quite the foodie event.
On Saturday we head into Steamboat and all check into a giant luxurious condo until Monday am. I’m sure by then a place with a shower and a real bathroom will be pretty exciting, especially for the ladies.
It’s hard to believe it’s September. Im so sick of political ads. Of course we have Obama lying on tv saying the republicans oppose abortion EVEN in the case of incest or rape! Unbelievable! It’s flat out 100% untrue yet they continue to run ads on tv saying so. Divide, divide, divide, that’s the democrats plan. There’s a rising star who’s a mayor from Utah and happens to be a black republican who gave a great speech (that was of course ignored by the media) at the convention. By the time she was through, her Wikepedia page (an on line dictionary) had been hacked calling her a sell out, a whore and other disparaging things. Have you noticed how the democrats are so angry. I was in Greeley yesterday at a buddy’s place who’s a custom cowboy hat maker. He’s made hats for people all over the World and uses all these machine made between 1860 and 1920. Anyhow he made the cowboy hats for the republican delegation going to this years convention. He told me that when he did this he got tons of hate mail! Unbelievable, for making hats! He said he responded to each one telling them that when the democratic convention was here in Denver 4 years ago, Â he also made hats for them. He finished his reply to all the “haters” by saying his mortgage was nonpartisan meaning the bank really didn’t care from what party his income came from. I asked him if he received any hate mail when he made hats for the democrats (which could have been possible as Greeley is a farming town that’s heavily republican) and he told me no, not one. A friend of the misses at school (another mom) said she went to a Women for Obama event but was really disturbed and turned off as all the women were so angry. They were so angry that she’s now voting for Romney.
If you think about it, all the dems have done is try to trash the republicans. They’ve tried to paint them as the party of only the rich who hate women, seniors, minorities and the middle class. This is their plan as they cannot talk about what they’ve actually done for the past 4 years as nothing has worked. It’s time they take responsibility for their actions rather than continuing to try to blame George Bush for everything. Those days are long gone. Do yourself a favor and go here and read Condoleezza Rice’s speech, you won’t find it on the major tv networks as they think (and want you to think) ALL republicans are rich white guys. Check it out,

Alright sorry for the politics this morning but I think I’ve been pretty good at abstaining for some time now. There comes a time when you just can’t take the division, the lies and the negativity anymore. If Obama wins again, we could enter an era that could possibly destroy the American dream for generations to come. Can’t you see that? Is welfare a hand up or a way of life? Does government give you your rights or does the constitution and God? You have to decide for yourself but if you really look at the issues, I don’t see how you can vote for a second term for the President. Are you one of the angry ones? Do you believe all the lies on tv? Do you really really believe that republicans are really against women, minorities, education, helping the poor and ending medicare and throwing seniors off a cliff? Of course not. Republicans are good people too. They are women, have children, are non white, are hard working middle class and want good educations for their kids and have parents and grandparents. All we want is government to stop spending money they don’t have instead of making false promises that future generations cannot cover. We want the freedoms that our parents and grandparents had and we want to shape our own future, not be compartmentalized into some “class” or station in life. Even a immigrant child who is a minority that grows up poor with uneducated parents should be able to have the possibility of becoming President one day. Don’t you agree? If you do, congratulations as you are a republican, at least for this year. Enough said.
Have a great weekend and God Bless you and God Bless The United States of America.
