UNFIT FOR PUBLICATION

Obama is not about to allow the sleazy Jerome Corsi get away with a book packed with lies and innuendo. He has released this comprehensive publication which refutes the lies, complete with references to back him up.

If you think Obama Nation is based on fact, read this publication. If you know it is a pack of lies, direct everyone you know to this publication. If you don't care that it is lies and you are just glad to see Obama being trashed because you hate him because ___________(fill in the blank with your sour grapes, or your racist diatribe, or your Koolaid recitation of whatever Rush tells you), then I feel sorry for you. You have lost your moral compass, as Corsi obviously has.

What do they have in common?









R.I.P. The Old Bathroom


From the sound of it, the old master bath exists no longer.
***
Finally called "Mary" at Natuzzi this morning to tell her that "Susan's" promise of a fix had not happened yet. She said someone "will call" very soon. We shall see about that. How many months is it now?

The counties to the north, south and east of us have closed schools tomorrow because of Fay. No word on our county yet. They are always the last. I think they wait to see how many parents call and what those parents say. ((Sigh)) I'm so glad our kids are well passed that. This happens every year. The first month of school: New clothes, new backpacks, new teachers, open house, and a hurricane day. Same old.

This is the predicted track for what is now Tropical Storm Fay, but they think is could become Hurricane Fay. Here we go, kids!

Not Your Ordinary Gate

The Shaffer Hotel in Mountainaire, New Mexico, certainly has the most unique gate I've seen in my travels.

Squirrel-Be-Gone

We have a lot of birds around here. We also have more than our share of squirrels. Since this area has become a haven for pigeon freaks - excuse me - fanciers - who cut down every tree on their property in pursuit of faster homing (I guess), our property has become something of a haven for a lot of birds and squirrels.


I don't mind feeding the squirrels, but they aren't happy with their basket of sunflower seeds. They blow through those in record time and go looking for more. On to the bird feeders! So I've been on the hunt for a squirrel proof feeder for some time. I finally found it, I think. I got it at Lowes, and it is called Garden Treasures ®"Squirrel-Be-Gone" Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Feeder.


I purchased this sucker shortly before we left on vacation. It operates very simply. there are little feeder windows with perches for the birds, but if anything heavier than a bird lands on it, climbs on it, reaches for it, these sensitive little springs effectively close the feeder windows. The bird seed is no longer accessible.


The feeder is hung from one of those shepherd's hooks just far enough away from the ground and any wall or tree or any type of purchase for the squirrel. I sat and watched a squirrel become so frustrated he was literally running around in circles before finally admitting defeat and leaving. He jumped, he climbed, he pounced, he reached.......every single thing he tried closed those little feeder cups.
