Most everyone we know around these parts was opposed to the so-called "bailout" of the Wall Street banks and financial institutions. Most people seem to think that the idea of throwing more money at bankers or money managers to solve their problems will do nothing for the rest of us since the typical banker is a trained thief. So, those who are Republicans and those who are Democrats amongst us common folk, seem to agree on this, that they don't want any more debt run up in their name by the Bush government for the sake of the fat cats.
A group of teachers gathered over coffee and the trend of the conversation was not really Wall Street, but school administrators. Hard to find positive things to say about administrators these days, either.
The weather has been fantastic and people are getting out and about a lot. As beautiful a September as people can remember.

LINDA -= is of the opinion that the weather has been created in honor of her quitting her job. Now when she is not working, the world has been sunny/warm.
SANDY - sent pictures of a donkey ride. I guess this is how we'll get around in the next few years?
MARGARET - says that she wishes her Senators were as good as this one: Bernie Sanders from Vermont.
SCOT and TRASE - report that their dog Riley has suffered a ruptured disk in his neck, that the surgery has been done, and that Riley today stood for the first time since the surgery. Everyone loves that dog!
IRISH MIKE recalls going into the grocery store to buy a ready-made roasted chicken for the family dinner, then looking all over the store for an egg plant. Unable to find an egg plant, he left, disappointed. Later, at the gas station, lost in thought while the pump clinked, he suddenly remembered that he had not gotten a chicken either. No one knows what comes first- the chicken or the egg, but evidently chickens and eggplants come or go together.
SKUZZA - is doing some house redecorating, or getting the old man to do it!

Some of the humor sent in to us:
DASHMANN - Palin's spiritual adviser or "pastor" was a witch doctor in Kenya. Yes, true! Really went after witches, chased them out of town. . Then he laid hands on Sarah and prayed that she be protected against witches (among other things). Yes, true! Says Dashmann: She asked the witch doctor to tell he what to say, and he said: "Ooh, eee, ooh, ah ah, Ting tang! Walla walla bing bang."

from GIGI:
Here's a sermon one Mom will never forget.
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward
heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are
but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient
daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in
her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
