Utah here we come

We leave for our Utah vacation his Saturday. We will be there until the 25th of August. We plan on seeing several of the national parks as well as the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Now if only the weather here in Virginia will cooperate while we are gone things will be good. There are three hurricanes swirling around in the Atlantic as I type this. I will try not to spend to much time watching the weather on tv while in Utah. I would just as soon have my head in a hole in the ground while gone. I have about had it with hurricane seasons here in tide water Virginia. I have had a permanent twitch ever since Isabel blew through our area. I get nervous when I watch the weather and see storms in the Atlantic. We may sell our house next year and get outta Dodge!!

Where in the hell is our government??

Once again our government proves that the only thing that happens in Washington is bickering between the two parties!! Our presidunce had to have another beuracracy. He had to have the Department of Homeland Security. He had to have billions in funding for it. It has been several years since 9-11. We should have a system in place to handle things like Katrina, and yet the government is proving once again that they really don't care about situations that pertain to poor people. Sometimes I think that our government would simply like to be rid of these ,"liabilities." People starving; people going to the bathroom where they eat and sleep; people dying; No fresh water to drink; WHERE IS OUR GOVERNMENT? WHY WEREN'T THEY PREPARED? They have spent billions on homeland security. Where did this money go? We might want to blame the ruling Republican party, but the sad truth is that it wouldn't be any better if the dumbacrats were in power. These people running our government are all wealthy, and they couldn't care less about average Joe American. We are no more than tools to get more luxuries for them. It isn't going to get better either. How can it unless there is a complete change in our political system. The Arabs must be laughing loudly. We have demonstrated what they have known all along. WE AREN'T PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!!
