I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to add to my blog for 10 days. Working, company, listing auctions, fixing computer, golf, biking and gardening…you just have to call this multi-tasking!
Plus, I just got a new service to add to some of my auction listings at www.onlineauction.com. I don’t have very many expensive things for sale so using the most popular Pay Pal payment service can really chew up some of your profit for the smaller items. This free service (I hope it stays that way) is called Revolution Money Exchange. https://www.revolutionmoneyexchange.com It is a bit more work to get their buy button to my listings but, hopefully, it will pay off in the long run. I’ll get back a little later with a few pictures.
There were so many, many supporters out and about across the country! In our local area we had about 700. But our local newspaper did get us on the front page!
“Hundreds gathered in a drizzle outside Town Center in Virginia Beach on Wednesday for the Hampton Roads Tax Day Tea Party Rally, a protest of taxes and government bailouts.”
Read Part 1,2,3 of Sunflower Ranch’s Blog. Olympia’ Tea Party Rally. Very refreshing read.
Main stream Media not giving deserved coverage to the Tax Tea Parties across the Nation? NO, biased Yes.
Does this surprise me? NO! So whats new?
Who needs mainstream? The word about the Tea Parties got out anyway with great turn outs!
Thank You FOX NEWS, for paying attention to these hunderds of rallies! http://www.thefoxnation.com/ View videos.
Remember readers, when our next Federal, State and Local elections, get out there and vote. Don’t loose the momentum. That is the only way to make a change in who is running Congress.
Want to see good coverage on the Tax Tea Parties across the Nation?
I am happy to hear, this morning, that Fox News is following these rallies. More information and locations at their web site. http://www.thefoxnation.com/
“FOX News will have all the details leading right up to April 15 tax day — from links to tea parties in you area to live reports from the scenes, analyses from the FOX Forum and FOXNews.com’s own series on the tea party phenomenon.
FOXNews.com will also carry live video streams from several Tea Party locations, and will have reporters on hand in Indianapolis, Tulsa, Washington, D.C., San Antonio, Sacramento, Atlanta, Boston and New York.”
What the heck! We might as have well have one National News Show. It wouldn’t matter because they all say the same things, almost verbatim!!
I am referring to all the, so called news shows on Network Television, Cable TV, Radio, Local or National and, certainly, Print. I exclude no one. Even some of the catch phrases are the same! Most annoying for me – “Straight Ahead”.
What happened to creativity? Can’t some of these News Anchors come up with something new when reading their prompters? How about some of the Writers coming up with something a little new in wording?
I don’t know who writes the news but short of different faces and voices it doesn’t really matter what news station you watch, the format of presentation and the words are the same! The word “clones” comes to mind.
If you live in the North, you can be jealous now! Lots of pictures here so it might be a bit of a long chapter.
I know spring will come your way soon but Spring is here in the lower 48. Now, I am happy. I have taken some pictures just to let you see the progress of my little yard and city garden.
Anyone for Veggies? I think I mentioned this before but will again. I planted these lettuce seeds in November of 2008 and covered the small plants with leaves from the fall. My experiment worked! Check it out. I already picked some leaves and had some of the juciy leaf lettuce on a sandwich! Yum.
Next to the lettuce I planted the radish seeds last month, March. Sometimes you just have to take some chances. It is only a package of seed. The times to plant aren’t always correct, at least, not for my area. Plus, my garden is very sheltered.
Just planted the tomato sets today, right next to the kohlrabi seeds that were planted earlier.
Now that it is warmer, I could remove the cold frame from the kohlrabi.
I have a couple of cats so I have to plant some Cat grass for them too. I put that in pots because they are house cats and aren’t allowed outside. I plant the grass in several pots throughout the summer because they eat it up so fast.
Now for a couple of pictures of the fruit tree blossoms. Oooh, I am just so excited. I get to have fresh fruit from my small city garden too!
Blueberries
Peach Blossoms
Asian Pear Blossoms
Apple Blossoms
I think I went a little crazy with the pictures today but the yard just has soooo many flowers that I couldn’t help myself. I just needed to share.
The pictures of these plants aren’t food producing but they are lovely blooms just the same. They are just fun to share.
This is a Double Camellia. It almost looks like a rose!
My Frizzle, cute frilly flowers! Look closely at the purple. This a great hedge bush. And the color of the leaves are wonderful year round. From dark green to deep purple and blossoms most of the summer.
(This writing has no structure, it was meant to be an “Automatic Writing” exercise. Don’t get too frustrated reading it.) Knowing that the event would be coming to an end very soon, and that I needed to experience this NYC happening first hand, so that I would be able to reflect on it in a wacky [...]
Gus Goes Hunting ! Howdy folks, So now that I am in school again, I had this lil’ homework assignment. To make a 30 second animation in After Effects, to be used in an “Exquisite Corpse” game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_ corpse). Well, the idea for this came to me in the morning on a Thursday, I had the whole [...]
