3.30 am it has been over 24 hours since Blackie has been seen.
Spent TWELVE hours at 300 block of Black road hoping to see or find Blackie left her blanket and my vest there in case she comes back.
Please friends of Blackie keep your eyes peeled she may have moved to another area..Mantitou Park,P patch,or second line,she is headed west she'll follow the sun..
Dogs are incredible friends who will travel for miles to get home.
If you see Blackie report it here and on the other sites thanks Ron.

"Come away shakey, Rolling Stone a right wing mag, ROTFL. Far from it, my friend. You're lost in lefty land."
Above example is but one illustration of what can happen when you get stuck for so long in a world view limited to "righty" and "lefty".
Indicative of the decay in reasoning is the liberal use of internet slang..i.e ROTFL and a limited capability to discern humour and/or sarcasm.

I was waiting for the typical racist slant yesterday from one of the lefties and of course Big Bro did not disappoint.
"For the most part, they hate Democrats, no matter what. But, a black one puts them right over the edge."
It is always, always the left, that points out that Obama is black...personally I had not thought about skin colour, only a debate, one that Obama lost...badly.

Obama still has a chance, as flyhawk25 stated, there are still two more debates to go.
Lets see, one on foreign policy and one town hall debate.
Obama's foreign policy record is worse than his economic one.
Perhaps at the right moment Obama can pull Bin-Laden's skull from behind the podium and hold it up in the air.
I've seen Obama do town hall meetings, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,....yep Obama's in trouble.
I agree flyhawk, the public always remembers the last one the most.

Predictions:
Paul Ryan will wipe the floor with Biden the buffoon in the VP debate. This will ramp up the Rep momentum considerably.
Then.... up steps the debate and Obie on his "foreign Policy" record.
That's where all of America will get to see Obie's foreign policy has been to avoid, duck, apologize, go golfing, and hang with the ladies on The View.
This does not mean the Reps will win, but it is now a real contest.

In general, I have to conclude that the debate was a tie - neither side changed opinions. People with a rightward slant believed that Romney won, people with a leftward lean believe that Obama won. Even the news outlets were all over the place with their assessments.
Because I like standing a little left of center, I thought that Romney lacked support in his arguments and claims - probably because I don't find his achievements as the Governor of one of the richest states very impressive. It's easy to get stuff done in that situation.
In addition to which - he is trying to make the economy the focus of his platform, but he isn't going to decrease funding to military and isn't going to raise taxes. If the US doesn't start getting to work on it's debt deficit, their economy is never going to recover. They need to improve the strength of their dollar so they can improve their trade position. Irony.

Decades before atheist scientist and author Richard Dawkins called God a "delusion," one world-renowned physicist - Albert Einstein - was weighing in on faith matters with his own strong words.
“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends,” Einstein wrote in German in a 1954 letter that will be auctioned on eBay later this month. "No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”
Dubbed Einstein’s “God Letter” by the Los Angeles-based auction agency that's posting it online, the original document will be up for grabs starting Monday. The opening bid: $3 million.

Like Mitt or not he is still better than Obama. Bain Capital, Romney had left that business when the jobs were shipped overseas.
The job rate dropped by.3% from approx 8.2 to 7.9.That is nothing to be proud about.
Obama gave 50 years of subsidy's to the green energy in one year than they failed.
Obama excuse's for the debate was
1)I did not have my teleprompter
2)the air in Denver was too thin
3) It was Bush's fault
Obama dropped the ball on Bengahzi costing 4 American lives.
Obama lied to the American People,
the Navy Seals were CIA agents along with the ambassador Stevens were trying to retrieve the Weapons they gave to the Libyan rebels.They rebels turned out to be AL Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood people.
The Video was an excuse made up.What protesters bring grenade launchers,RPG and heavy weapons to a protest?

If I was a Right Winger I would not be tempted to gloat over how Romney is going to cut the U.S.A. deficit when he has no plan.
I heard Romney say that he was going to bring the Democrats and Republicans together in the Congress.
That is wishful thinking when both parties are solidly entrenched in what they believe.
Over the last 4 years the Republicans made no attempt to work with Obama---What makes Romney think that the Democrats are going to work with him after what the Rep.Party members did to Obama.
As for the Debate---only the Election will tell who won and there is still 2 more debates to go.
The Republicans---with the 2 Bushes in charge--- ran up the largest Deficit in the history of the U.S.A.

Tomorrow is the day, last nine months we have been fattening Thomas the turkey, tomorrow he gets his last meal than Sunday morn his neck gets stretched across the 4x4 and one good whack with the cleaver gets us on the way. Nothing better then the smell of fresh kill to get the male hormones flowing. The killing ritual in our family is carried out by the males. We turn over the carcass for cleaning, de feathering and cooking to the women folk. Nothing says thanksgiving better then sitting down with a bursting belly, snifter of brandy, a fat cuban cigar and the sound of the ladies cleaning up in the kitchen. Yep living the dream! Wonder if the little lady wants to cuddle before I get too tired?

Ace,
"Flyhawk,your boy Obama got handed his head in a hand basket at the debate."
With all due respect Ace but, I don't think so. Obama looked tired and aloof and he looked like he didn't want to be bothered with Mitt. Who can blame him?
Which brings me to a different topic i.e..."head in a hand basket"..never heard this one before. I think it's "going to hell in a handbasket".
Be it as it may......sayings I never understood...
"That's the cat's ass"...
-What is so special about a cat's ass? Are there sexual connotations to it? And if so, would Jesus frown upon it?
"Up the creek without a paddle"
-I would never ever dream of going "up" a creek if I wouldn't have a paddle.
Now, if you were going "down" a creek and lost your paddle, well then you'd have a problem as you'd lose the ability to steer the canoe.
"the shit hitting the fan"
- who would go for number 2 near a fan?
(but I do see the consequences)
"Bob's your uncle"
- Possible....but why not Larry?
and last but not least.....
"tighter than a nuns's....
-well...not now....the kiddies are still up.

Ace...first off - President Obama is not my "boy".
I assume that you refer to the 44th
president of the US. He didn't get there with dumb luck but he may lose this election. So what.
He is not 'the messiah' or anything else - he is a politician.
I believe that he is a better alternative than Mr. Romney but no man yet has become president who is especially evil.
So relax.

Not trying to be everything to everybody and even telling some potential customers to "F" off...in a friendly way that is with a :) face....LOL.
It's the time of year where folks ask me how much it will cost them to "winterize" their cars. I could play the game and charge them double for a simple oil change...but being the "lefty" that I am...I won't!

Good to hear.
Treating customers fairly is the only way to go while keeping in mind that profit is never a bad word.
I learned a long time ago that customers that bring you to point of telling them to f--k off are a nightmare to everybody they deal with and everybody knows they are a pain in the ass.
It was a great freedom when I learned that the customer is NOT always right.
We do a lot of winterizing.
Winterizing of seasonal "cottages".
I find it hilarious what some folks call their "cottage".
This has been the best of the last three years for us.

rw,
Funny you should bring up "profit".
For some people it's a nasty word, for me it is "income"...or "food on the table".
"Profit" is the money I have left over after I pay insurance, rent/mortgage , city taxes, heat,snow ploughing, PUC, updates on scanners, new tools, wages etc.
80 smackers an hour seems like a lot of money but when you add up all the expenses and the fact that one does not work an entire day for eight hours at that rate it withers down pretty quickly!
Coupled with the fact that I have no benefits of any kind, no job security, no "collective" bargaining privileges, it is easy to understand when folks like you and I have to bite our tongue when teachers and other public employees go on strike to demand things that for us are an utopian idea.
It is what it is and nobody forced me to choose the path I have. I am not starving but it is hard work..day in...day out. I don't mind it as long as I am healthy and to be honest, I could not imagine a life playing golf!
I might as well die!
