I hate reading, looking at or hearing anything what is going on in Washington these days. Their spending reminds me of "The Madge" but the difference is they print the money. I did unfortunately hear about a passage of a bill regarding the control of wild horses. From what I've read there are about 33,000 wild horses that roam in ten states. It seems that these clowns in Washington are willing to spend 700 MILLION DOLLARS on the "Restore Our American Mustangs Act" for a horse census every two years and "enhanced contraception" or birth control for horses. OK now I am annoyed so I check out the Washington Post database to see who voted for this. It was close 239 "for" and 185 "against" with 9 "not voting", so now I'm curious of who voted for this joke. I am not 100% sure where these horses are located but I am willing to guess that the likes of Rhode Island, NY, NJ, CT, Mass, Vermont, and Maine should be safe from a wild mustang trampling their crops. Well these states amongst other unlikely horse over run states voted "for" while the states I would have thought HAD a problem voted "against". Check it it. I really don't get it. Sorry for this venting and I will now go back into my shell.

Wow, It's Been A Long Time Between Posts
I took a little heat from Erin for not posting pictures of the 4th of July and a slide show for Colleen who turned 40 on July 5. Here's some news to get you up to date. 1) 9 hours of rain since May 24, it was a nice light drizzle which probably kept a lot of trees/plants/grass from dying. 2.) Caden is walking, OK he looks like Charlie Chaplin but it's still walking. 3) Michael Jackson died. Do you think he got enough press coverage? 4) Colleen sold her house. On the market for two days and got the asking price. This is subject to inspection and bank appraisal, so I don't believe it will be a problem. Closing date is set for August 17th. Now the fun starts trying to figure where to buy in New Jersey. 5) My High School Reunion was a success. I've gotten various reports back from people and everyone had a great time. It's been fun looking at the pictures of it and trying to figure out who's who. Boy am I glad I haven't aged. Well enough news and on with the pictures and slide show.
