I'll smoke an expensive cigar in her honor

I will never understand the people who condemn the likes of the RNC, Rush, and Fox news. If you disagree it's fine to say so but to take it so much to heart is odd to me. I exercise my given rights when it comes to CNN, MSNBC and the DNC by turning them off. That's the ultimate freedom my friends. Exercise it.

I spent a 22 year career in the aviation section of the US Coast Guard as a Survival Tech.and regretfully have to say that accidents like this one are very common. I saw a report that indicated that they were at anchor and the boat rolled over. Being Anchored in a rising sea is very dangerous as we see here especially if the boat is anchored by the stern and not the bow. Usually boats have enough buoyancy to pop the anchor free unless the anchor is wedged and stuck in the sea bottom. I don't know what the official Coast Guard stats say but in my experience all the boating accidents I've witnessed that 3% maybe were a happenstance of bad luck and 97% were boaters exceeding their boats capability or their own personal capability. If you own or are thinking of owning a boat look up your local group of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and take their course in boating safety. It will definitely save your life one day. That I promise you

I am praying for the other two missing men.

The bee proposal isnt part of the stimulis package it's in the supplemental spending bill as a normal part of the current budget. Money is money I know. LOL

I believe there is a real problem with the Bees. I think if the Congress would not put in so many stupid earmarks, the truly valuable ones would not be critisized.

Hunt you are exactly right.

The beekeepers are investing in it but they are small business and lack the funds.

I understand that money for bee research sounds wasteful but bees are very necessary to a hugh percentage of our agribusiness. There is a virus that has swept the country killing be hives. It's costing millions in losses to fruit and nut growers because the bee keepers that normally lease bee hives to the growers don't have the hives available. Of course the keepers are hard struck also in loss of leased hives and honey revenue. Honey producers are not hugh conglomerates but are in fact small businesses and for a large part familly owned. You will never hear me aplauding govt. spending but this one is legit.

What am I doing? Hummmm. Let me think. I stopped smoking $12.50 cigars and switched to $10.00 ones and I am hanging on Obamas words to normalize relations with Cuba so I can smoke Cuban cigars. LOL . Seriously...So far I am doing well. I made some decisions early in life that and made some sacrifices that made my retirement life arrive earlier and enabled me to have a better life now. I have been thinking of how the pending hyper-inflation is going to effect me. It is a serious threat to retired people.
