Lazy Day

I’m having a lazy day today. I have already watered and walked and taken some photos and done a load of laundry and fed the animals. In a few minutes I’ll go to the genealogy library and work for about three hours. But I didn’t awaken with any deep wisdom. I wasn’t eager to share any news or views. So you will have to settle for a few questions that have been bouncing around in my head this week. Maybe you can tell me the answers and I will blog those! In the meantime, enjoy the images from my morning walk.

1.    If immigration is a federal issue and the federal government is supposed to take care of it, why haven’t they? Why has it become such a crisis, especially for the border states? We have been talking about this issue since I was a little kid working side by side with illegal aliens, yet we have not solved the problem.

 

2.    Why are soap operas still on the air? Honestly…someone explain it to me.

 

3.    Who in the world watches Maury?? Why???

 

4.    Is it my imagination or are more women getting more and bigger tattoos? Again…why?

 

5.     If BP is at fault for the oil problem and financially responsible for the cleanup, why does their big shot get to walk away with millions of dollars? Are they making him pay for anything??

 

6.    Why are we spending millions of dollars on afterschool programs to decrease the “drop out” rate instead of spending millions of dollars on our public schools to improve them so kids don’t want to leave early?

 

 

7.    If we have no idea how much money is being spent on “anti-terrorism” efforts and the government has no idea how much they are spending or in what areas, then why do we have to keep track of every dime we spend???

 

 

8.    How in the world can we continue to respect a president who is such a media addict?

 

9.    Is it my imagination or is Big Brother on every night of the week? Why?

 

10.   Do I need to stop watching the news on television?

 

Have a great day!

I don't have any wisdom to offer you, but maybe less information equals more peace. Maybe toning down the television viewing would help.

LOVING your pictures.

I logged on tonight in a different place in my mind tonight, these pictures bring me some respite from it all.

LOL! I have many of the same questions. My nail ladies watch soap operas so maybe others do too. I can't imagine why? Nor Maury. Our president gives me the willies. Just sayin'. Tattoos, don't get me started. My sister keeps getting more and more. Why?

Your photos are fab. You should sell them. Don't watch the news. I quite long ago. Too frustrating. I just read the headlines and go on. Oh, and I do vote in ever election although I wonder why. :) ~~Dee

Love all the pictures except the spider. I hate spiders and get the creeps when I even see on on computer or TV.
About tattoos, I wonder if women consider what the tattoos will look like when the women are 80-90 years old with sagging skin???

Marilyn- I tell this story often: killed a spider in class once and a four-year-old girl said, "Mrs. Maurer, spiders are God's creatures too!" LOL
