Politician changes stripes from polecat to skunk


Not much to talk about today; I have to take Carolyn to Fall Branch and Boones Creek this evening. This morning was spent sitting on the porch in perfect weather conditions for that particular pastime. A few non-artistic photos were taken, mostly distant birds and squirrels.

Arlen Specter is changing his stink from Republican to Democrat. His stated reason for doing so is that the Republican Party has become too conservative but we all know that his home state of Pennsylvania is growing more liberal and he dearly wants to keep his job. He is very old—even by my standards—and has cancer, so I don't know how much longer he will be with us anyway. At least he seems to be on Obama's side when it comes to the economy.

I wonder how many tributary workers will lose their jobs, and how many small businesses will go under because of General Motor's mismanagement?
----
A local factory (Douglas Dynamics) that manufactures snow blowers is shutting its doors and many people will lose their jobs. They are not going out of business; just moving to another country!
----
CitiCorp—my mortgage holder—and Bank of America—Carolyn's business bank—are asking the Feds for more bailout money; grab the grease, spread those legs, and bend over a little further, Mr. and Mrs. American Taxpayer.
----
We've had some lovely—and hot—weather for several days, but rain and colder temps are supposed to move in by this evening. Figures! Every Tuesday when I take Carolyn to Fall Branch, the weather has been so lousy I couldn't make photos of any of the old and abandoned buildings. Well, last Tuesday wasn't bad but I had my camera on the wrong setting and screwed up nearly everything. It is a common occurrence for people whom will not leave their camera's settings well enough alone. My excuse was I cleaned the camera's exterior and forgot to turn the anti-shake switch back to "on".

Pa for now!

I like this your phrase: not much to talk about today. We need words, words are beautiful, but we need silence too.

Jonesborough is beautiful. You have posted a sweet photo.

Have a nice weekend. Pa, my friend. Pa!
