Global Warming is so little hot air…..

I’m so sick and tired of lawyers and politicians (and a guy in India who plays with choo-choos) telling me that I am ignorant for not “believing” in Manmade Global Warming.

I spent less than an HOUR on the Internet, used basic math skills taught me in high school, and was able to figure out “how much” man is affecting the atmosphere.  Not much, is what the numbers told me (of course, simple logic had already told me that…..).

The lawyers and the politicians and the pseudo-scientists – who all care more about which parties they are going to be invited to and how large their vacation homes will be – really hope that more people won’t figure this out.

The more things change….

.

We are on our way to spend time with the extended family for the next few days. Paul’s family has a reunion/campout at Chalk Bluff Park (just north of Uvalde, Texas) every year.

There’s lots of fun stuff to do there; we’ve been going there so long that “traditions” have evolved. I never thought that something that I started a few years ago would make the cut…..

Since when do lawbreakers have more rights than law-abiding citizens?

Seen today at one of the blogs that I read:

…yesterday they passed a bill granting in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens.

So let me get this straight: LAWMAKERS – elected officials whose salaries are paid by law-abiding, taxpaying citizens – are passing laws that give special privileges to people who break the law.

Isn’t that a breach of their contract with the people who elected them to serve?
Isn’t that – oh, I don’t know – AGAINST THE LAW?

It’s what Dads do

Several years ago, one of the kids’ dumber-than-dirt cats ran up the neighbor’s tree and wouldn’t come down. Meowed piteously for a couple of days.  The girls were almost in tears, thinking about their poor little kitty up in that tree.  Finally, they did what all kids on TV do….

Because I haven’t had a Pity Party in a while…..

 

Every once in a while, you have to rant, you know?  I try not to do this too often, because really and truly I have a great life.  But today is just one of those days.  So please bear with me (and don’t feel like you have to read this; I’m just getting stuff off of my chest).

I think what sent me over the edge was getting a message from one of the girls last night saying that the deadline for applying for Summer School had already passed. 

I’m tired. 

I’m so very, very tired.

The Glory of Springtime

I have a friend who is going through a rough time right now – she has lost a couple of family members over the past few days.  I went outside today and noticed that my lone rosebush is in full bloom – truly a celebration of life.  I wanted to share some pictures I took this morning – hopefully they will bring some cheer.
