Well,  it seems like winter instead of fall to me. I think he was waiting outside the door just watching and waiting for the right time to slip in and surprise us all. You can't help but make fun of Al Gore during a week like this. Yes, we know Al, global warming is also making the winters colder and is creating hurricanes (like we've never had those before) and earthquakes and causes the rising oil prices and hang nails and hemorrhoids. I'm sorry, but I don't believe in his hype. He is a politician and all politicians have an ulterior motive. It's all about money and power. They know no other motivation after they've been in office for a month or more.

You think you know a politician with pure motives, who truly wants to make a difference and is only trying to do the will of the people? Sorry, they may start out that way, but there's just too much corruption at their fingertips to stay that way. They should be limited to 4 years at the most, and then get a real job. Of course, after they serve in office they'll still make their living in the political rhelm by being a consultant or something. There's just too much money available to give it up for real work.

I don't know how I got on that subject. I honestly tire of the whole political scene very quickly. I don't like or trust any of them. So,,,,,off I go.

I took the day off today to watch my grandson for my daughter. The crud is moving through her house and Hunter has a runny nose and is pulling on his ears. She's just started a new job and can't miss work (even though she doesn't feel good either). I've got some vacation days that I've stashed away for a rainy day and was glad to help. It gives me time to do this, which is nice. Hunter's watching the drivel on PBS (poorly animated cartoons with sappy morals). They are a far cry from the quality we enjoyed as kids watching Bugs Bunny, Popeye and the Road Runner. Yogi Bear and that whole gang came along later and was just not the same quality of art as the earlier stuff (although the humor was good).  Now we've got a huge Red dog; bunny rabbits who do nothing more than get dirty to the consternation of his sister; and someone who builds things (taking the place of daddy?). I'm not a fan at all.

I do like Sesame Street though. Very creative and diverse. Yes, it's ladened with syrupy morals and lessons on getting along with others and being yourself and stuff, but they do it so well. Plus, they're realistic enough to include a grouch, and a Dracula.

Okay, going to do some surfing as long as I'm here and the baby is content to watch TV.
