So much going on and I've had nothing to say for awhile. Hurricane Gustav threatened New Orleans, but NOLA was spared a full replay of the horror of Katrina. I'm still going to say a few prayers for the folks down there, who could use them. And of course, Hurricane Hanna is lurking out in the Carribean, ready to do more damage. And there's another Tropical Depression, which may or may not get a name in the next couple of days. Oy.
On Friday, John McCain chose as his Vice-President Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who has been the gift that keeps on giving for the Obama campaign. She's been governor for less than tho years, doesn't understand the surge, thinks the Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, is under investigation for abuses of power as Governor, and may have loose ties to a group that wants Alaska to secede from the Union. Looks like Senator Geritol should have put a little more thought into this one.
Work is really busy, and now it's September, which means I'll be taking out the AC again soon. Oh, and I'm going to try to lose weight again. Wish me luck. I walked four miles today, which was good. Let's see if I can keep it up during the odd 11 hour day.
