Hank Snow was one of the greatest Country artists ever. I know because I listen to both types of music, Country and Western!

My dad used to love listening to hank Snow. cool

From the church of Ineffable Stupidity:

Mike Vick.

nuff said.

Rigel, when you transport them pups, would you mind transporting Vick to the local federal facility?

A man speaks to the store clerk and asks "In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?"

The clerk looks at him and says, "Are you Polish?"

The guy (clearly offended) says, "Well, yes I am. But let me ask you
something. If I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was
Italian? Or if I had asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco would you ask if I was Mexican? Would you? Would you?"

The clerk says, "Well, no!"

"If I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?"

"Well, I probably wouldn't!"

With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, "Well then, why did you ask me if I'm Polish because I asked for Polish sausage?"

The clerk replies, "Because you're at Home Depot."

the Fat Hastert made it official. The man called the worst syncophantic speaker of the house in US history, the man who allowed the White House run roughshod over the constitution, the congress and the country, told people he would not seek re-election.

Scoutgal, the quote of the day you posted today really got me thinking. [Linked Image from aximsite.com]

I agree with you Kathy, about much-needed rain, but I feel much trepidation as Dean approacheth. Conditions are so perfect for development into a monster storm, and the memory of Katrina's right-hand turn in the Gulf is embossed on my brain. It's so dry here, a lot of our hardwoods are going from green to brown - again. Already happened in April, when the freshly budded new growth got frozen by that unexpected cold snap. This has been such a weird weather year.

Last night we had our first garden-grown cantaloupe with dinner. It was, in a word, succulent. [Linked Image from aximsite.com]

There's about six more out there, ripening. [Linked Image from aximsite.com]

Well is it A bridge in London! Tower Bridge is one of the world's most beautiful but in the time of Henry VIII, to cross beneath it usually meant imprisonment and eventual death.

Geez, Steve, your garden sounds spectacular...I'm just happy when my green beans and tomatoes survived long enough to harvest! Speaking of tomatoes, I'm currently house sitting for my friend who lives up high in the foothills west of Boulder. They start all their tomato plants in a greenhouse behind their house. The fruit growing on those plants still in the greenhouse is huge and flawless (not that those outside are bad either). My exciting gardening moment yesterday was when I went out to water and discovered they'd been visited by a bear as evidenced by two lovely piles of bear "scat" and an overturned composter. Fortunately, he (the bear) doesn't seem to be too interested in tomatoes, greenhouse or otherwise...

What is wrong with calling him by his real name and official title, Rep. Dennis Hastert? Do you have to insult every politician there is? If you do, do not be surprised at the quality of our elected officials. I cannot stand the junior Senator from the state of New York, or the senior Senator for that matter, but I still address them as Sen. Clinton or Sen. Schumer.


The state can never straighten the crooked timber of humanity.
I'm a conservative because I question authority.
