O joyous day! We were able to squeeze enough piggy banks—along with some borrowing—to get sufficient money to order the a/c compressor for Chris' car. By buying online, we saved nearly $80 over local prices. There were none to be found in area junkyards, so we wound up paying $300 for the rebuilt Hyundai part, which is actually made by Ford.
We still must find a way to get the car transported to Jerry's so he can do the installation. Then the compressor will have to be charged—at least with oil—before it is ready for her to drive. Hopefully I will have the Escape back in a week or so.

The governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, sure has—or did have—a big set of balls, trying to sell the vacated Senate seat of Barack Obama to the highest bidder. The Richard Daley legacy lives on!
The jerk governor knew he was already under investigation by state and federal agencies for suspicion of corruption. Greed and stupidity know no party lines.

Haven't heard anything about yesterday's heart echo test. Not hearing is probably good news in itself.

Is it Spring yet?

Reading your earlier post I had to go dig up this old web site about the Carlyle group, which I suppose you are aware of:

Thanks, Maggie.
I do not for the sake of me see how the US taxpayers elected Bush in 2004.
I'll watch the rest of the video in the morning.
