Happy Veterans Day

Today was Veterans Day. I hope everyone thanked a veteran today. Thanks Dad, Thanks Harold!

I like the thought behind this article : War vets urged to wear medals on V-Day

I would like for this to become a tradition. For the pride, but also to bring in front of folks who don’t think of it and don’t realize how many have served. And many do not know how many vets they may know, maybe if it was in their face then they wouldn’t take for granted what we have and get involved.

More Sad News

Sad News

It was a long day at work. It was slow enough, that if we had the people that we could’ve gotten a lot done. We had two call offs, which both had very good valid reasons but it makes it harder to get things done. I have a bigger staff tomorrow, so fingers crossed we will get a ton done.

I’m very saddened to here that Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes has passed. I’ve always enjoyed watching his work, his smoothness, his class. And I loved the fact that he wore an earring where many men of his age didn’t. It always symbolized to me that he was always a rebel searching for the truth.

His style of reporting will be greatly missed. =(

A Sunny Day

Well, the dems gained more seats then I thought they would in the house and it looks as they may gain the senate……..we shall see.

It was great to see Rumsfeld step down. When retired generals and the Army News have issues with your leadership………you are doing more harm then good.

We still have 2 more yrs of W………….so we’ll see what happens.

Today was a day off and I actually got a few things done, laundry, vacuuming, blue-berry muffins, did some errands and started to explore options for getting some work done on my blog.

Right now we are watching LOST, it is the last episode for the fall season. =( We are going to have to wait a few months for the next one.

Tomorrow is an early day at work, so I’m going to close and get ready for bed.

Election Day

I hope everyone reading this voted.

We are watching ABC for the election results. It doesn’t look as if the democrats will pick up the senate. But I’m not surprised there.

I’m a moderate…..I hate the extremes from both sides………yes, I am pro-choice, I’m a feminist and no one will tell me what to do with my body, but I also believe that I have the right to own and carry a gun. I’m liberal on tolerance, but conservative when comes to military issues.

I’m hoping that the dems at least pick up the house. Something to help balance the country. I was disappointed to see the Senator Chafee lose. The rep. party needs more candidates like him to pull them back from the extreme right.

It was also nice to see the dems get smart and run candidates that could actually put up a fight and possibly win in their district and in the process pulled themselves from the extreme left.

I was stunned to see 3 districts in Indiana be won by the dems……..wow. That is one red state. When there is blue, it is usually around Indy, Gary/East Chicago and Ft. Wayne area.

If you aren’t watching it………you need to watch comedy central for the Stewart/Colbert……..they are a frigging riot………….lol
