We spend so much on the Iraq fiasco that we only have left enough money to hire 756 uniformed federal officers to oversee 8,800 buildings. 22 guns were stolen from a fed building in Atlanta, a surveillance trailer with $400,000 of high tech equipment was stolen from a garage of a fed building in LA ( Read more... )

I've seen a lot of different types of snow and ice. This day was a new one, it was like sugar crystals from the sky, all day long. I walked in it. It was like sand. Then it would rain and then more crystals, now it's snowing on top of that, but I still hear melting going on ( Read more... )

When family and friends have died and when I was lonely that was next and not understood or listened to by my wife ( Read more... )

I'd better write this shit down before I forget it, cause I'm fast on my way to getting over it. My thoughts are more and more leaning towards feeling good about not having one free website to worry about anymore. I met the new designer today, she's getting paid to take over the work I was doing for free. I'm such an asshole. I learned a very ( Read more... )

I was just thinking about last years party here in the gallery, and I'm glad we decided not to do it again. My girls though do wish we were having a party, they love our parties. Of course Corrine wasn't here last year, but Em had a good time despite Ula being here, Em had a friend over and I think she was kind of hoping she could do that again ( Read more... )
