Yemen

I just heard on the news some interesting information regarding the Republic of Yemen.  Yemen, found in the Middle East is a country with several ties to the act of terrorism.  These ties expand far beyond the Asian continent.  The United States is very much a target for the terrorist infiltrating this country.

The last two attacks against the United States have originated in Yemen.  They are by far the most threatening force against the United States and the West.  This country has been able to lure individuals to their country to train in order to attack other territories.  This country has hundreds of square miles of deserts and multiple sea ports that allow for easy access for travel and concealment.  The government has very little power outside of it’s capital.  This makes training and concealment in the mountains/ deserts an excellent option.

Americans are not welcome in Yemen or in the region for that matter.  Some of their leaders have stated that if we kill them than they will kill us and I have no doubt that this is true.  I would even say that this is a promise from them.

Fresh Fish

With the problems in the Gulf of Mexico and the big oil spill, I am worried that buying fresh fish at the market is going to become a problem here. I asked the seafood and deli clerk at Publix if they are having any trouble getting the fish and she said that they are fine, no trouble yet. Thanks good to hear, but I worry  about the winter and spring as the full effects become more evident.

Good Bye Vern

Country legend Vern Gosdin passed away this week, his was a voice that if you heard it once you never forgot it again. He had a major stroke a couple of days ago and passes away  yesterday.  The world of country music will be one singer short now. I loved his music and had always wanted to see him sing in concert but by the time I had moved to Nashville he was not doing concetrs as much so i missed out on seeing one of the true legends of country music.

Earthquake

Today a big earthquake hit a place that you almost never hear about earthquakes, Italy almost never get hit with earthquakes. The last report I saw had 91 people killed and over 1500 hurt, the most hurt in a quake in Italy in over 30 years. Lets hope the rest of the missing folks are found alive and unhurt and keep the good people of Italy in your thoughts and prayers today.

Nonsense

The news reports have about driven me crazy with the nonsense they put out there. The worst part is that they expect us to believe every piece of crap they report on. The real news you have to search for to even find out what is going on. After getting a drop of a good real story you never hear another word on them I guess they do not want us to be upset by the real news. Take for example the story of the Transit cop shooting an unarmed man in the back in Oakland California, here in Nashville we never heard word one of this important story, nothing on the internet either. The only way we found out was my spouse reads the Bay area papers on the internet and read it there or we would not of known anything about it at all. Give us the real news and keep the fluff pieces in your pocket.

Those Rich Folks Owe Us Now

So the wimps in the House went ahead and passed the bail out legislation as presented by the Senate earlier this week, and the most inept President in history signed it today.

Those overpaid greedy professional gamblers on Wall Street now have a whole lot more money to play with, thanks to us taxpayers. And after all this, the DOW Jones STILL dropped 157 points. Unbelievable.

Drought

It sure seems the drought is over, last year we were so dry at this time of year, this year everything is very green and the lakes are full. We just need to keep getting some rain the rest of the year to stay on top of the rainfall totals for the year. I know they are having terrible fires in the west, with enough rain we can keep the south from burning up like it has done in the past. Fire, flood, earthquake and twisters this has been a very busy disaster year and I hope we can avoid major hurricanes this year.
