ANOTHER THIS & THAT

Now Maxine really has the answer.

So, even if you believe that the American auto industry, credit/banking/mortgage businesses, airlines, etc. are too important to allow to fail, good old Maxine will make you stop and think twice about going ahead with some of the bail out schemes......

BAIL EM OUT!

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country and our banking system to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey.

On my walk this morning, as usual I let my mind (stop laughing, I do have one) wander and contemplate all sorts of things. When a 13-year old girl gets pregnant and has a baby, nobody really pays much attention…I mean, some social worker may get involved but it’s pretty low key news. However, when a 13-year-old allegedly fathers a baby, he’s gonna undergo DNA testing! Slap me with a wet noodle ---we finally realize both sexes are sexual active -- what a novel concept and it took us how long to figure this out? Sweet Mama!

Look, I don’t always get all the news stuff, I mean some of this sheet is damn confusing and missing points as far as I’m concerned. For the last few years (yes few years) Potsdam Hospital has been buying homes that nobody else wanted, nobody else would repair, rebuild or even occupy and nobody gave squat about. These are not homes located on Grove Street or the street by the high school, these are homes located behind the ole Nursing Home!

Certain well meaning citizens have decided this is wrong, these home need to be save ( huh) or something has to be done to stop the hospital from expanding and offering even more medical care (huh). It's not really about saving these houses (my opinion only here) but stopping the hospital from expanding. I'm just having a hard time following this thinking.

Here’s a novel concept, let them expand (like we’re gonna stop them) but let’s make a big roar and demand that they MUST increase the hospital parking lot! Come on, this is what we really want along with expanded service, right? Do you really give a rip about those ole houses? You didn’t want them, never even gave them a second look but now, now we got this crap happening and let’s use it to our advantage. Imagine adequate parking – hey, I don’t know about you but circling the current parking lot for 30 minutes to get a parking space is not my idea of efficient gas use!

On the weather front it would appear that Wednesday may see us with some slippy [gotta love that word--slippy!] weather – snow, rain, sleet and well, slippy stuff, duh? Well, for those of you who thought we were headed for an early thaw, go back into your dens, it ain’t gonna happen. According to those caterpillars we got at least one more big storm before this winter madness ends.

Oh for those keeping track, I bought yet another bird feeder and different bag a bird seed – I’m telling ya, these birds have got a major spread to choose from and they need only to get their little beaks over here. I do have two who show up pretty regular but I think they are dating and not telling their friends about this dining facility. Ya, patience will be –what – more birds?

Have a grand day - the sun is shining, so you might want to get outside and get some very needed vitamin D!!!
