REPUBLICANS BLOCK SUBPOENA POWER FOR B.P. OIL SPILL INVESTIGATION

PERSONAL

I awoke at 5:45am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 3+. I took my pills and put up my flag. I am still going to try to shorten my blog as I am not so sure many read it anyway.

I am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I still wish that his campaign statement that he was going to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan was higher on his priority list though.

Senator Tom Harkin today commented on the passing of Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. One of the MANY reasons I placed him on my Hero List was from watching him, on Bill Moyers Journal, as the lone Senator on the floor of the Senate arguing against W. going to war without an official declaration from congress. I never realized they were both sons of coal miners or how much Senator grew since he first went to Congress.

I believe that coal is the most abundant source of energy in this country. I do hope that this country can develop an energy system that does not need “dirty old oil”, the gulf coast fiasco comes to mind. Mining coal and drilling for oil are very dangerous jobs also, and he was a tireless fighter for workers in general and coal minors in particular.

June 29, 2010

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is moving ahead in its
investigation of the explosion at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine in West
Virginia, where ventilation problems may be a vital clue to the blast that
killed 29 miners. Meanwhile, Massey, with "curious" timing, is suing MSHA over
ventilation regulations.

I would submit, most of those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are doing dangerous jobs also and I would venture a guess, most of them would rather have the opportunity to work in a coal mine, on an oil rig, OR POWER PLANT than in the ALL VOLUNTEER SERVICES.

I am still waiting on Kaiser and Joe Biden for my checks. I spoke spent most of yesterday with Kaiser talking yesterday to them about NOT getting my checks for the “compound medications” and was told I was NOT eligible for reimbursement and they would send me a “complaint form” to fill out.

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order her book. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. It has been a really good read so far, and I would recommend a new one from Ed Schultz, “Killer Politics”.

I still believe the U of O is ANTI-UNION, and it appears they are not the only people, and appears to me now that they are not alone.

NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS IN AFGHANISTAN STILL, and thank you for your service and you are in our prayers every day.

Cousin Larry Pahut's, run off election is in November and he will also need more help. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of our grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and must have done a fine job. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q. Are 400 Spruce, Anaconda, Montana 59711) Based on the fact he is in a run off they will probably still need more funds.

I don't know if Senator Robert Byrd was so much a fisherman either, but I am sure he is in the net also.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear OUR prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, the welcoming of Uncle Sandy into the house of the Lord, for the safe return of nephew Christopher from Afghanistan; good family friend Pat Percin, all those families suffering from those mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the coast residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia (those Drill Baby Drill states); cousin Larry Pahut in his endeavor to become the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace; and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for the safe delivery of Brandee's new baby girl,; and those, NOW covered with Health Care.

I know I have been repeating things, maybe too much, on my blog; but some of this stuff I need to be reminded of and some of this stuff others need to be reminded of.

M.S., LDN and AMP REPORT

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 124/88/52 at 7:53am today.

POLITICAL

I have been watching the opening of the hearing on Ms. Kagan as a Supreme Court court nominee. I think she is a good candidate for my W.O.W. List. (Women of Wisdom) I will start a newer LIST today. Based on Senator Sessions opening statements we will move him up/down to this new list “AGRONA”, which “I think” is Gaelic for Devil.

Am I the only one that sees a general connection between the “Tea Partiers”, the “Michigan Militia” and all the other CRAZIES out there, to the “MANSON FAMILY” and Dick Army as the new Manson?

DO YOU THINK ALL THOSE “LITTLE” PEOPLE IN THE GULF, WAITING ON ALL THAT B.P. OIL TO COME ASHORE WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD AN L.N.G. PLANT? ( this is for all my Oregon Anti LNG readers)

I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

PERSONAL

I awoke at 5:45am today after 8hrs of sleep to a 3+. I took my pills and put up my flag. I am still going to try to shorten my blog as I am not so sure many read it anyway.

I am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I do wish that his campaign statement that he was going to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan was higher on his priority list though.

I will try to move those 2 new connections to the “Front Page”. They are, 1) a connection to the Big Ed Schultz web site (http://www.bigeddieradio.com/) and B) a connection to the MADE IN USA website ( http://www.madeinusaforever.com). Can you believe it? There are actually republicans calling the $20B fund set up by B.P. and the Feds a “shake down”!

I did go to the PUC public meeting and I have added 2 more people to my ZERO list, Sam Adams, Mayor of Portland, and Lloyd Marbet, based on what I heard the other night. I did get the chance to speak and to send in my comments as follows:

June 24,2010

to: Oregon State Public Utility Commission

re: P.G.E. 20/20 Plan

Dear Commissioners:

I attended the public hearing at the Portland Building last night. Thank you for allowing me to testify and putting up with the many Jerks in attendance.

I was only able to stay until just past 8pm and I actually listened to the testimony. I thought that the most moving testimony was from the individual that said he was not from PGE and read the submitted testimony from both PGE and the Sierra Club. And after reading both he concluded that the 20/20 plan was the reasonable one.

I have not reviewed the proceedings as of yet, but I shall. The African American Woman that worked with Low income families and stated that the comment, that the closing of the Boardman plant should only cost ratepayers about a McDonalds hamburger was, I believe, the most compelling.

I thought it interesting that in a state with over 10% unemployment and dependent on income tax for essential services, including education, that the majority of petition's submitted appeared to come from schools or students organizations, most of which depend on someone else to pay taxes to keep them going or have not even entered the job market.

I did not write 5/6 pages of testimony to turn in like Lloyd Marbet, who has spent a lifetime fighting all things P.G.E.

The point I was trying to make was that, I too believe we need to get off of Crude Oil and refine our energy policies. I used my “scooter” to get to the microphone and I was the one with 3 nephews who have served or are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. My scooter is electric and runs on a lithium battery that is supposed to last 10 hours. The recent discovery of those rich lithium deposits in Afghanistan makes me concerned we will be there for many years to come.

I believe that coal is the most abundant source of energy in this country. I do hope that this country can develop an energy system that does not need “dirty old oil”, the gulf coast fiasco comes to mind. Mining coal and drilling for oil are very dangerous jobs also.

But I would submit, those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are doing dangerous jobs and I would venture a guess, most of them would rather have the opportunity to work in a coal mine, an oil rig, OR POWER PLANT than in the ALL VOLUNTEER SERVICES.

Sincerely;

William W. “Wally” Mehrens

to: Oregon State Public Utility Commission

re: P.G.E. 20/20 Plan

Dear Commissioners:

I attended the public hearing at the Portland Building last night. Thank you for allowing me to testify and putting up with the many Jerks in attendance.

I was only able to stay until just past 8pm and I actually listened to the testimony. I thought that the most moving testimony was from the individual that said he was not from PGE and read the submitted testimony from both PGE and the Sierra Club. And after reading both he concluded that the 20/20 plan was the reasonable one.

I have not reviewed the proceedings as of yet, but I shall. The African American Woman that worked with Low income families and stated that the comment, that the closing of the Boardman plant should only cost ratepayers about a McDonalds hamburger was, I believe, the most compelling.

I thought it interesting that in a state with over 10% unemployment and dependent on income tax for essential services, including education, that the majority of petition's submitted appeared to come from schools or students organizations, most of which depend on someone else to pay taxes to keep them going or have not even entered the job market.

I did not write 5/6 pages of testimony to turn in like Lloyd Marbet, who has spent a lifetime fighting all things P.G.E.

The point I was trying to make was that, I too believe we need to get off of Crude Oil and refine our energy policies. I used my “scooter” to get to the microphone and I was the one with 3 nephews who have served or are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. My scooter is electric and runs on a lithium battery that is supposed to last 10 hours. The recent discovery of those rich lithium deposits in Afghanistan makes me concerned we will be there for many years to come.

I believe that coal is the most abundant source of energy in this country. I do hope that this country can develop an energy system that does not need “dirty old oil”, the gulf coast fiasco comes to mind. Mining coal and drilling for oil are very dangerous jobs also.

But I would submit, those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are doing dangerous jobs and I would venture a guess, most of them would rather have the opportunity to work in a coal mine, an oil rig, OR POWER PLANT than in the ALL VOLUNTEER SERVICES.

Sincerely;

William W. “Wally” Mehrens

I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged ; they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.(still waiting for the check but I did get a statement on what they paid)

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order her book. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. It has been a really good read so far, and I would recommend a new one from Ed Schultz, “Killer Politics”.

I really didn't think the U of O is ANTI-UNION, but it sure appears to me now that they are. I guess I'm too old now but I do remember a time I worked with both Cecil and Wayne Drinkward of Hoffman, who built a great construction company, and while we did not always agree on stuff their word WAS their bond and even they wouldn't come up with such a scam.

NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS IN AFGHANISTAN STILL, and thank you for your service and you are in our prayers every day.

Cousin Larry Pahut's, run off election is in November and he will also need more help. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of our grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and must have done a fine job. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q. Are 400 Spruce, Anaconda, Montana 59711) Based on the fact he is in a run off they will probably still need more funds.

Even though Sandy wasn't so much a fisherman I am sure he is in the net.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear OUR prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, the welcoming of Uncle Sandy into the house of the Lord, for the safe return of nephew Christopher from Afghanistan; good family friend Pat Percin, all those families suffering from those mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the coast residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia (those Drill Baby Drill states); cousin Larry Pahut in his endeavor to become the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace; and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for the safe delivery of Brandee's new baby girl,; and those, NOW covered with Health Care.

M.S., LDN and AMP REPORT

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 123/77/66 at 7:45am today.

Yes, thats right, 33 out of the top 100.

The American Rights at Work still needs help. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue. E.F.C.A. Especially in light of that mine disaster in West Virginia and those Rig explosions in the Gulf. I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

Nephew Rhyon will be headed back to Hawaii for more training and he will become a squad leader. In the service anything with “leader” in the title is very impressive and I am really proud of him. He is only here until July 3rd but I hope he gets to enjoy all of his time. He did say that he believes he will probably be going back to Afghanistan and he believes we will be there for a lot longer.

I am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I do wish that his campaign statement that he was going to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan was higher on his priority list though.

I did run into one of Cheryl Meyers staffers at Gloria'z yesterday and suggested he check out the east side that is basically a shrine to Clackamas High School. I know one of her key issues is education and education funding, but I also know we can't fund anything without jobs. I know some of those out there in many public forums advocate for a different kind of tax, SALES, eliminate prevailing wage and then just construction workers can make up the difference, let's do more private-public partnerships and being the private sector doesn't have those high public employee wages and health care and pensions, by osmosis we can save the state money, at least this year any way maybe and our children can pay for any mistakes, falling down buildings, bridges, oil spills?

I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

PERSONAL

I awoke at 7am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 3. I took my pills and put up my flag. I am still going to try to shorten my blog as I am not so sure many read it anyway. Happy Birthday Mom, she would have been 83 today. Went out to the Hall yesterday to use the credit union and when I got back brother-in-law Eric was wacking the weeds on the north side of the house where he parks his truck, I think he was worried he may not be able to find it if they keep growing like they have. I think my 3 can be attributed to my visit with the Chiropractor yesterday, and he really helps my neck and my range of motion.

We did get a visit last night from nephew Rhyon and that sure was nice. We each had a shot of Dew when he took his yellow ribbon down off the deck. He will be headed back to Hawaii for more training and he will become a squad leader. In the service anything with “leader” in the title is very impressive and I am really proud of him. He is only here until July 3rd but I hope e gets to enjoy all of his time. He did say that he believes he will probably be going back to Afghanistan and he believes we will be there for a lot longer.

I am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I do wish that his campaign statement that he was going to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan was higher on his priority list though.

I will try to move those 2 new connections to the “Front Page”. They are, 1) a connection to the Big Ed Schultz web site (http://www.bigeddieradio.com/) and B) a connection to the MADE IN USA website ( http://madeinusaforever.com).

I was going to the Building Trades today but slept to late to get going. I did get a call from Cheryl Meyers and she said they were walking the neighborhood Saturday and she was sorry she missed us. I haven't changed my mind on Kroger and because of one of the statements made by A.G. Kroger and his pride taken in the fact that he has a division that is totally staffed by volunteers, he is a new member of my ZERO list; although I am sure he is NOT one of the unpaid volunteers. I do have a new voter registration card and still haven't filled it out yet. If I re-register that I need to sign up as unaffiliated and not independent. I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged ; they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.(still waiting for the check but I did get a statement on what they paid)

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order her book. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. It has been a really good read so far.

I really didn't think the U of O is ANTI-UNION, but it sure appears to me now they are. I guess I'm too old now but I do remember a time I worked with both Cecil and Wayne Drinkward of Hoffman, who built a great construction company, and while we did not always agree on stuff their word WAS their bond and even they wouldn't come up with such a scam.

NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS IN AFGHANISTAN STILL, and he did text me after I text him and wished him a Happy Fathers Day. Christopher, thank you for your service and you are in our prayers every day. We now have only two bowed yellow ribbons on the deck as we are still waiting for Christopher to come home and Daniel to come and take his down.

Cousin Larry Pahut's, run off election is in November and he will also need more help. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of our grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and must have done a fine job. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q. Are 400 Spruce, Anaconda, Montana 59711) Based on the fact he is in a run off they will probably still need more funds.

Even though Sandy wasn't so much a fisherman I am sure he is in the net.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear OUR prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, the welcoming of Uncle Sandy into the house of the Lord, for the safe return of nephew Christopher from Afghanistan; good family friend Pat Percin, all those families suffering from those mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the coast residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia (those Drill Baby Drill states); cousin Larry Pahut in his endeavor to become the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace; and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for the safe delivery of Brandee's new baby girl,; and those, NOW covered with Health Care.

I know I have been repeating things, maybe too much, on my blog; but some of this stuff I need to be reminded of and some of this stuff others need to be reminded of.

M.S., LDN and AMP REPORT

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 129/74/59 at 9:10am today.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

PERSONAL
I awoke at 6am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 2+ and want to wish everyone a Happy Fathers Day. I took my pills and put up my flag. I did make my my nephews sons graduation party but not the annual Maguigen picnic. It still was a long day, a lot of stairs and I'm thinking that is the reason for the 2+. I am going to try to shorten my blog as I am not so sure many read it anyway. I am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I will try to move those 2 new connections to the “Front Page”.

I am still asking you all to send that U. of O. Arena information off to all the Duck Alumni you can find, but based on what I heard Saturday it will be falling on deaf ears. Cousins Bobbie and Dan need to know that, from what I got out of the U of O testimony was that bribery scheme to come up with the low bidders was reminiscent to me of the Gotti Family in New York. I guess since I have had sooo much time to sit in front of the T.V. since I retired, and watched too many “Sapranno's” I may be a little jaded, but I think Frohnmayer and most of those in the phony construction management firm on the U. of O. Arena, if they were engineering majors at Oregon, I'm thinking their college minors were T.V. and/or Movie making; although I didn't notice any “goodfella's” at the hearing? They spent a lot of time talking about “In Kind donations” being the difference between the LOW BID and #2, if it sounds like bribery and it looks like bribery is it a duck?

HAPPY JUNETEENTH

PERSONAL

I awoke at 5am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 3 and want to wish everyone a Happy Juneteenth. I took my pills and will be a little short today because I intend to make my my nephews sons graduation party and the annual Maguigen picnic. I didn't make Union meeting last night. I am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I am going to try add two new connections today also, 1) a connection to the Big Ed Schultz web site (http://www.bigeddieradio.com/) and B) a connection to the MADE IN USA website ( http://www.madeinusaforever.com). I did see Tom Margraf at the AOH and he was looking good and I sure wish he would have won his election and I will ask his counsel on the 2 candidates left. I also forgot to check on my dues and I will have to mail Peter and check to see if I am up to date? Cousin Larry Pahut won his runoff spot for the Deer Lodge Montana County Justice of the Peace with the most votes in a crowded field and I will have to check with Jimmy and see how many, if any, relatives he still has back there? Lets keep our good thoughts and prayers going for them both. (maybe you can send a few nickles and dimes for Larry's race) I do feel bad about not making my uncle Sandy's service last Monday. He was a Montana State Senator for many years; so I guess that was also someplace else I got the political bug. I haven't changed my mind on Kroger and because of one of the statements made by A.G. Kroger and his pride taken in the fact that he has a division that is totally staffed by volunteers, he is a new member of my ZERO list; although I am sure he is NOT one of the unpaid volunteers. I do have a new voter registration card and haven't filled it out yet because my friend Al said, If I re-register that I need to sign up as unaffiliated and not independent. I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.(still waiting for the check but I did get a statement on what they paid)

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order her book. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. It has been a really good read so far.

I am still asking you all to send that U. of O. Arena information off to all the Duck Alumni you can find, but based on what I heard Saturday it will be falling on deaf ears.

They spent a lot of time talking about “In Kind donations” being the difference between the LOW BID and #2, if it sounds like bribery and it looks like bribery is it a duck?

I did make the addition to my Zero list and I hope you all notice. Listening to the U. of O. representatives, it appeared to me that they not only scammed the State of Oregon but also ALL their Alumni. I suggest that you all try to find this hearing on the State of Oregon Website and read the testimony. As I understand it there will be at least a few more hearings on these mess's. What was it by the way, that Dave Frohnmeyer did before he went to the U of O. I really didn't think the U of O is ANTI-UNION, but it sure appears they are now. I guess I'm too old now but I do remember a time I worked with both Cecil and Wayne Drinkward of Hoffman, who built a great construction company, and while we did not always agree on stuff their word WAS their bond and even they wouldn't come up with such a scam.

We think nephew Rhyon has made it back, at least as far as Hawaii. Judi told me they expect to see him maybe in the next few days

Cousin Larry Pahut's run off election in November will also need more help. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of our grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and must have done a fine job. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q.

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 126/88/57 at 7:40am today. I also heard from my Kaiser primary care DR. and she is recommending another set of visits to the Chiropracor just down the street, I have an appointment Monday. I also received an e-mail from M.S. that said the FDA has approved a new oral (pill) treatment for M.S..

POLITICAL

Am I the only one that sees a general connection between the “Tea Partiers”, the “Michigan Militia” and all the other CRAZIES out there, to the “MANSON FAMILY” and Dick Army as the new Manson?

I watched the Press Conference with the B.P. people come out of the meeting with the President and apologize and to all the “little” people in the Gulf and from what I heard, what he got out of them; I was greatly impressed.

DO YOU THINK ALL THOSE “LITTLE” PEOPLE IN THE GULF, WAITING ON ALL THAT B.P. OIL TO COME ASHORE WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD AN L.N.G. PLANT? ( this is for all my Oregon Anti LNG readers)

WELL DONE EARL ! WELL DONE KURT !

Thank you Martha for:
Veterans’ Reintegration Task Force:
Fort Oregon Web Site: Check out www.FortOregon.com! It was established as a centralized point of contact on the multitude of agencies and services that provide support and benefits to soldiers and their dependents.

Go to the website www.VVMFCenter.org – they are collecting dollars for an education center at “The Wall”, Washington D.C.'s Vietnam Veterans Memorial, help if you can.

HURRY HOME AND BE SAFE CHRISTOPHER.

Larry Roberta, a reclusive Aumsville veteran whose story of health problems from hexavalent chromium exposure in The Oregonian alerted his fellow soldiers, most of whom live between Forest Grove, McMinnville and Gresham. Roberta's testimony before the Oregon Legislature last year helped create a fund for soldiers who develop cancer as a result of this exposure, and if you noticed I now have a follower with the same name. Roberta, 44, has also launched the Web site www.qarmat-ali-vets.com, which includes a logo of an orange ribbon with a skull and crossbones., is the one that all with friends and family in Iraq, should visit.

Check www.LetsSayThanks.com often to read feedback from the troops about the Let's Say Thanks program!

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far?


SPORTS

It's MLB Time, Hey Chicago, what do ya say, go Cubs go, Cubs gonna win today!

And yes Mark, I will check the Mariners schedule and try to get up there before the summers over. I understand the Cubs are coming to town next week for a three game set and I was going to try to get tickets for the Day game, but alas my calender has filled up.

Speaking of struggling teams, Go Orioles; and Peter have your people keep an eye on that Mehrens kid that is playing for the S. Cal Rangers, I have been following his progress on line and he definitely has the right stuff.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES

Denise Hutzenbieler is looking for help with her walk for Epilepsy TODAY.
Support EFNW - Eastbank side of waterfront park - The Northwest Run/Walk for Epilepsy benefits the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest and is a community fundraising walk. The organization provides uncompensated programs and services for people with epilepsy and seizure related conditions. Nearly 119,000 people in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Montana have seizure related health issues, and the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest is the largest agency serving the needs of these communities so all will have better success in leading more productive and independent lives.

The American Rights at Work still needs help. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue. E.F.C.A. Especially in light of that mine disaster in West Virginia and those Rig explosions in the Gulf. I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

The U.A. Local 290 “Don Salee” Member Assistance Program.


OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS

“GET 'ER DONE” - SOFT LANDING ! And give them back their money, and their overdue raise!

Those Republican's in D.C. Keep talking about the disaster in the Gulf; the oil spill, as an act of God that couldn't be helped. Do they really believe that God has an office at British Petroleum? I remember them taking that oppressive action when they were pissed at the French by renaming French fries in the Capital Cafeteria to “Freedom Fries”! Now after that oil spill, what are we going to call english muffins?

Congratulations to all who will be graduating this year/month. Michael Ross's Courtney, Trina and Daniel's Cody, Jo Ann's Twins, and the many I have probably missed.

The following is my wish for all of you:

****Thank You Mary Ellen****
May love and laughter light your days
And warm your heart and homes
May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam
May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures
May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT 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.

Mike; My blog is 5 pages, and over 2,500 words today, I think. I'll see you next time on my blog.
