Ah yes, politicians. Pretty much the same world over. The tell you they have the answer to fix every problem, and all they are really good at is making them-selfs and close friends very rich.

There is a upcoming school bond election that will affect my property taxes. Not one school bond has been voted down in over 54 years. I will vote against it just on principal. The school board figures they have a open checkbook, and it is my checkbook.

Rained hard here last night. Been in the 40's since yesterday.
Lots of bare ground showing.
Had some visitors this morning

Yeah Jim, but I had a tea earlier, don't want to use up my Australian coffee beans too quickly so I only have one a day, so I wait until I am up and chores are done and I can sit and relax and enjoy.

The second the alarm goes off I literally bound out of bed, fully awake. I can take a shower and do the bathroom things before my wife is awake enough to drag herself into the bathroom. We have a big bathroom so there is plenty of room for both of us in there.

I drink coffee just because I like it.

I'm a morning person too but, coffee makes me happier...besides I'm completely addicted.

Our one bathroom is not big. We're considering buying/building a bigger house at some point this year or doing a major addition. Not sure which yet but, we're growing out of this 1400 sq ft ranch with quickness.

Morning all. No coffee here. I'll start on a coke after I get to work.

Yeah, I guess we all have our favorite vices. Right now I'm going to munch on a piece of banana break with cream cheese icing and sip some coffee. Makes the morning a lot more tolerable.
