The old 1988 Dodge Ramcharger with some undetermined number of miles
on it gets roughly 12 mpg in town. It has not been running for a
couple of months but it has a new tag and is currently insured. Cash

to throw money in the air, I wanna catch some cuz it'll make em go
bankrupt faster.


There's a patriot for you...


Hard to believe that some want the United States of America bankrupt.
That would leave us almost defenseless against the terrorists.
Just small arms and maybe some artillery from the Nat Guard armories.
But Froggys's plan won't work anyway.
Gov can't go bankrupt until all the folks money is taxed away.
We ain't even close to that.
Wife just asked if I wanted a sandwich.
French bread, Krakus ham, cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, mayo, fresh
oregano from the garden.
Got plenty of food in the house, and a full tank of gas in the car.
Besides that, got a 1/2 tank of gas in the other car, and at least
1/2 tank of gas in the other car.
So I can make a food run when I need it.
Life is good. While it lasts.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I assume that Bush and Cheney wanted it bankrupt.

I've got nearly a full tank in my car and the wife does too. We buy
our gas at Costco now with their Amex card to give us a few pennies
off. Driving to bum**** this weekend for soccer tournament so that
gas will be gone.

I haven't had lunch yet and I'm starving. Trying not to buy fast food
so we can afford more important things. Last day of school for the
kids so we bought them a couple of presents for graduation.

Looking forward to Father's Day breakfast and hanging with my dad in
the evening.

Life is good. I hope I can continue to afford it.
