PICTURES - MAYBE

PERSONAL

I awoke this morning at 5:15am to a 3+ after 8+ hours of sleep. It is a clear, dry, cool morning, I took my am pills, I put out my flag. I put on my body cast and checked my email to find a message asking for help for President Obama. I haven't read it yet but will following my posting. My yard guys just arrived (7:30am) so I will take a short break. I then tuned into my regular sources for Blog Fodder. C-span, CNN, CNBC and the local news. I finally doing it; I'm ordering business cards for my blog. They will have a bug, and I suppose it's a good time to give them a plug. Hollywood Impress printing.

Fodder to follow; in the appropriate sections.

Judith did give some expert assistance on being able to post Wally's Walkers Pictures.

I am hoping Dianna finally got some sleep, after leaving the hospital. I do have the feeling that I will have to open another file, similar to the one I call “Doug's Bragging” file.

Elsie Marie Bloch...........Hmmm

After watching Bill Moyers Journal last Friday night I have another book and Author to recommend. The Author is a women named Sarah Lawrence-Lightfoot, and her newest book is named “The Third Chapter”. I think I'll check out Judi's website and see if I can get a few copies. Probably a good retirement gift.

POLITICAL

Hey, Oregon Guard, the Salem Legislatures got your Back.

At least some one is still working to help “Bail Out” Home Owners who may have been taken advantage of by the Banks, Senator Durbin don't give up please.

Our Junior Senator was orating on those nasty credit card people today and should make us all proud.

I received a very well done “Capital News” newsletter from my State Representative, Brent Barton.

His coffee's are the first and third Saturday's of the month.

Dick Durbin, Senator for Illinois Official site. Features audio and video greetings, plus press releases and news on issues and legislation. Includes biography, state-specific resources, ...

I was asked by the Obama Campaign people to write a letter to the editor of support for him and I did. They said they would try to get it published in a couple local newspapers, it's was too bad the Columbian was not one of them. I'll wish them luck right here and hope this blog is not the only place it gets published. I'll be checking those newspapers websites to see if anything gets published, as I am not a subscriber to any of them. I did send my phone number, so they could verify if it was the “real”me, but I haven't heard from either the Oregonian or Statesman Journal yet.

I did take it upon myself and wrote my own “Letter to the Editor” of the Columbian Theyd id they did contact me for my address and phone number.

If I have any readers out there that take the Oregonian, Statesman Journal or Columbian, please watch for my letter.

It's graduation time and I hope the next leg in the life of all the graduates is exiting and successful. I know there is 8%+ unemployment out there and these new graduates will add to that number, but remember summer employment is temporary and a great investment in this country's future.

There is still much debate in congress going on about the bailouts and T.A.R.P.; neither I nor my Sister in Washington State have seen any positive signs. Help us out Senator Durbin! My voters report said Senator Durbin's bill passed?

SPORTS

Portland Beavers tickets seem like a good buy right now.

It also looks like Randy Johnson MAY get his 300th win in Seattle. Isn't that where they started?

C0MMUNITY ORGANIZERS

NWOLC's Labor Appreciation is coming up, I hope you all have your tickets! We got ours, now all I have to do is schedule a nap.

The Helena AOH is still raising funds for their to-do, The Meagher Memorial at Fort Benton Montana. Donations can be sent to The Meagher Memorial at PO Box 1916; Helena Montana 59624. With the many Irish followers I have, maybe I can give them some aid. I did email uncle Hank to see if they have a website for their fund raiser.

OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS

I hope everyone can share the American Rights at work website so my small donation can be utilized to it’s fullest extent. I did send them another small donation, because they are still doing the Lords work. And I hope someone else besides me responds that venal, and innacurate, Columbian Editorial.

Please, You can share the American Rights, the MS walk, the March of Dimes walk, the recovery website and the Meagher Memorial fundraisers so my taxes and donations can be utilized to their fullest extent.

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, G & L gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand. And maybe even a big prayer for my nephews Daniel, Christopher, Ryan and all the families serving.

Mike; I'm over 1100 and I'm feeling 4+.

Now don't forget, say your prayers, and I'll see you next time on my blog
