Another point for media and their dumbing down of America. I just got a glance of a news story about the Obama vs. McCain First Lady fashion sense. OY!! We should always weigh our voting leverage on what they are wearing huh folks?
Yes, I plan on voting, I always do, but I am going to be SO glad when this election is over!! I have nothing against either candidate. I already know who gets my vote. What I am so fired up sick about is the way the media continues to cover the darn thing. Am I the only one that misses Walter Cronkite? Is it possible to get unbiased reporting any more? How about the endless, scripted, manipulated, probably paid for volleying between the opponents of the news stations so as to get best coverage and ratings? Has nothing been learned from Dan Rathers fiasco?
Please news people, and I use that term loosely, start reporting facts that are pertinent. Stay out of their closets and bedrooms and what they did on their prom night 30 years ago. I don’t care and neither should you. We the people are intelligent enough to want the core issues, I wish you were.
Okay, enough of my little rant.
Still attempting to streamline around here. We have SO MUCH STUFF!!!!! Thankfully we haven’t been adding to it. This is a good. Well, unless you count the two extra puters in the house but those were charter school issued. It did mean coming up with another desk though. Instead of buying one we did manage to utilize what we had here. Kelsey painted and old door we had and placed it on two equipment racks with shelves and ended up with a better looking and more functional desk than the two previously purchased ones we have. I’m actually considering stealing it from her.
Still need to get fall/winter clothes out of storage. Why so soon? Because that is where my Packer wear is and I need it for the game in a few weeks. Hello!?!?
Had our frugal group last night. We viewed "Escape From Affluenza". I must admit it is my favorite of the two shows. There is so much to consider for alternatives to what we are used to doing. The norm just isn’t healthy. They even touched on how our current consumption rate isn’t even biblical. I like that.
Grumble, grumble, spit….time to get back to task. Everyone have a blessed and be a blessing day!!!!

Cronkite? I miss Thomas Nast!
Since God's second commandment was to look after the garden, after first making sure we had enough gardeners, it seems extremely obvious that we are far from God's will evewr has been when it comes to consumption of our very finite resources.
Oh well. Drill into another oil deposit and we can avoid thinking about it for another ten years.
Of courtse use of oil keeps the PETA folk happy. If the oil dried up too much our Packer Wear would have to be made from natural materials and much of that would be leather instead of plastic.
