What some friends and relatives are thinking, saying, emailing or are concerned with. PAT W - is wrestling with a major decision about property. If you have any extra money, you could send it to her. That would help.
MIKE the Irishman (or IRISH MIKE) - Says that he has only been retired for a few weeks, and already he can't think of his old job at all. He's made "a clean break." Now he's trying to figure out how to expand his days so that he can sqeeze more into them. For example, he's trying out for a rowing team. Ya, really!
PAM - is a new friend of BIRCHES. She has a daughter who's on a spending freeze campaign. They're trying to get by with the least possible indulgences, to see how much they can save in a year. Here is the blog site for that effort. It is very entertaining: byebyebuy.blogspot.com or CLICK
DASHMANN - says there should be a symbol, like the Support the Troops ribbons on so many cars, which shows that a person does support the troops but oppose the war. So we went looking and found that this is in use. CLICK
ALICE - sends more and more citations to articles about "Blackwater," the group of mercenaries that our government hired for special duties in Iraq. This past week, they've been accused of atrocities against innocent civilians in Iraq. In fact, the Iraqi government has ordered them all out of their country, a nice gesture since that government can't even patrol its own streets. Remember, Alice brought up this group weeks ago and now she can say, "I told you!" CLICK
SPARTY - in addition to being ecstatic about his team's perfect record (this week, defeating Notre Dame), he has taken notice that this is the 40th Anniversary of the fall when the Bridgeport teachers went out on strike and shut down the schools for three weeks. The Saginaw News has also taken notice and been publishing items in Bygone Days.
SCOT - bemoans the fact that the community recreation soccer team he plays on has not won a game, but yesterday they lost by only a small margin. Maybe things are looking up?
MIKE CARROLL almost from Carrollton - says this is a picture of the police up at Sault Ste. Marie. At least one of our people, Steve, knows that they have better transportation than that.
DIG S - If you want to know how your Senators voted on restoring Habeas Corpus, check this website: CLICK

Re: MSU's record - "ecstatic" is your word. I'm somewhat surprised - thought they probably would be 3-1 at this point. The tough part of their schedule begins Saturday - Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio State, and Purdue on the road looks like a lot to handle.
"Anonymous" is me, Sparty. Touchy computer.
