New Header Graphic (again)

Monday, October 24th, 2005

While I liked my last header graphic the photo was taken in the spring and, well… this is fall. Fall colors are my second favorite photo-op next to the first greening of spring so as I work on collating my growing Fall 2005 image collection I found several that would work nicely in the top [...]

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

The pictures from our excursion to the Covered Bridge festival in Mansfield are now up. Most all of the images are of the mill and Racoon Creek rather than the bridge which was constantly full of people.

Why US Should Stay Out Of The ICC

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

A Spanish Judge has issued a warrant for a tank crew who fired on a hotel in Baghdad during the taking of Baghdad at the start of the war. Seems they were receiving fire from the building so fired on it. But, as is typically the case, a bunch of journalists were staying in that [...]

Second Vermont Republic

Friday, October 14th, 2005

The bankruptcy of the socialist state apparently hasn’t been proven enough times so Vermont wants to prove it again by leaving the United States. Leave Dean in charge at the DNC and you’re free to go. And thank you for shorting the Dem’s 3 electoral votes, I’m sure Hillary won’t need them.
