Here we go
again. Looks like Old Man Winter will never let go.
I ride a stationary bike in the basement every day except Sunday. It's gotten so that I watch The Price Is Right to pass the time. Eighty some years have flown by, but sometimes twenty minutes on a bike going nowhere seem to drag. I have, in the last four or five months, won a dozen or more cars, and some bedroom sets etc. When the stuff is finally delivered I will put it up for sale at pennies on the dollar. Don't miss this opportunity to cash in on some real deals. The TV selection on Saturday is slim. I do notice though, that in older shows when someone makes a phone call someone at the other end answers right away. No pressing one for English, two for Spanish and so on. No one put on hold for long times, or asked to leave a message. The old days sound really good sometimes, in more ways than one.
If you never lie, your friends will stop speaking to you and your enemies will think you are lying anyway.
Some people are easy to entertain. All you need to do is sit down and listen to them.

The weather
here in Iowa is the usual cloudy stuff we always seem to get this time of year. We are waiting to go from winter to summer, skipping Spring altogether.
John McCain is starting to look better every day. He is not talking about bailing everyone out who didn't pay attention to what they were getting into, with big mortgages on houses that were too big as well. If Uncle Sam can bail out Bear Sterns, he can theoretically bail out everyone, which means the tax payer is on the hook big time. It doesn't seem right that people should be rewarded for bad behavior. Being liberal is OK, but there is also a limit. One wonders what would happen if everyone decided not to pay their credit card bill, mortgage payment, car payment etc.
Every family needs two cars--ask the family that owns one.
