It was nice to do things a little more slowly today. I’ve been doing a bit of running around while trying to get things done and it is exhausting. Today, the only place I went was tanning. Which gave me time to get things done around the house and some work caught up.Luckly I got nearly all of our packing done, just have to top it off and get the laptop bag packed. It is the best I have felt in a long time about packing and not rushing around to do it.
Yesterday I had to return somethings to the store, pick up a few more things and get my nails done. Tomorrow after the gym I have to stop by for a color touch up (part of the service) and get my waxing. Then I have to get all my work done that I can.
I was able to get out and do a walk today. It was nice, didn’t get a chance last weekend and I didn’t care for it. Unfortunately it looks like it is going to start getting hot when we are gone. =( It concerns me about our cats. We will keep the fans going on high and have the windows opened on the top floor for some air. It isn’t going to be as hot as it had gotten but still….I don’t like to leave them without air.
Driveway dispute pits neighbor against neighbor
Last Wednesday, his neighbor of six years cut large square holes in the middle of Conroy’s driveway.
Conroy, 83, told KATU News that “I’ve had this driveway since I lived here, which is almost 35 years now. There was no warning. He never said anything. He never threatened anything.”
**Just a local news story that has caught my attention……that Wilkerson must have a winning personality, because this part about his wife sums it up :
Wilkerson’s soon-to-be ex-wife says she, too, was shocked when the fence started going up, but is not surprised at her husbands actions.
“There’s a reason we’re getting divorced,” she said.
Feds’ closed-door deal could ease development
MISSOULA, Mont. – The Bush administration is preparing to ease the way for the nation’s largest private landowner to convert hundreds of thousands of acres of mountain forestland to residential subdivisions.
The deal was struck behind closed doors between Mark E. Rey, the former timber lobbyist who oversees the U.S. Forest Service, and Plum Creek Timber Co., a former logging company turned real estate investment trust that is building homes. Plum Creek owns more than 8 million acres nationwide, including 1.2 million acres in the mountains of western Montana, where local officials were stunned and outraged at the deal.
“We have 40 years of Forest Service history that has been reversed in the last three months,” said Pat O’Herren, an official in Missoula County, which is threatening to sue the Forest Service for forgoing environmental assessments and other procedures that would have given the public a voice in the matter.
**I so can’t wait for Bush to get out of office. He is destroying so much that piece of shit……gggrrrr
82-Year-Old American Woman Frees Child Slaves In Nepal
This 82-year-old retired lawyer from California now spends half of her time living in Katmandu, Nepal, where she works to free child slaves.
“It’s very difficult to think that in the 21st century, this is a practice,” said Murray. But, she argued, “it’s happening all over the world, and a lot of people don’t know about it.”
 **Sadly this still happens, yet we will start a war over oil, but yet won’t do a damn thing about slavery…..don’t you think those are some messed up priorities?
