What has happened now?

Well, it is some time since I set this up with the thought that I could provide a diary type function for my folks. I never was any good at keeping a dairy, never liked to expose any thoughts, or even chatter about publicly known things.

Well, another year older, Rohan, the dog an I walked to the store for some donuts for breakfast, and a coffee. Walked through the park and the dog was a bundle of nervous energy running around. Need to go their either early or lat as there are just to many other people and dogs that he wants to play with, to allow him to run around. Rohan remembered it was my birthday and gave me a cute card, that reflected hi view of how he an I think. Me with thinks in little boxes in my mind and him with his all over the place. I hope I do not traumatize him. :(

His new phone got washed yesterday. He was pretty upset. We tumble dried it, a trick that has worked reasonably well before, and it now does pretty much work OK, although there seem to be some water spots now internal to the display, and two key buttons seem to me wrong. Not sure there is much more we can do there.

Jude is off to Saratoga trying to sell some jewelry, but with the way the market and finance scares are, it may be a bit of trouble to extract $ out of people these days.

Weather is now turning, and all the leaves are turning and falling now. Fully overcast and now starting to be dark so much earlier.

The election is really quite exciting, although I cannot understand how it could be at all close or how anyone could give any serious consideration to a McCain ticket, what with the VP choice, the tenents of spend more than they take in, postponing the day of reckoning to future generations, and with the lack of real world awareness. I also have trouble with the view that the republicans have that people should be all able to take car of themselves. That is just not right so unless they value the lives of the unemployed, homeless sick and infirm, those not voting I guess, as worthless, then I guess it is understandable. I recently heard that the McCain tax cuts and spending promises would raise the surplus by 5-10TRILLION dollars, above he already 5 trillion and projected 5 Trillion of the next 5-10 years at the current rate of spending and revenue income (Taxation) I think they have forgotten that a lot of previous revenue they used to get has now moved off shore.
