Watering

It’s time once again to make the trip up to the canal and open the flood gates. And at this time of year, I’m in the dark during that short trek. That makes the trip quite exciting; what kind of spiders are lurking? Though it’s not the spiders as much as it’s the webs that I dislike running into in the dark. I will carry my trusty rake and brandish it as if it was a sword and that should keep the webs away.

Some news…not unexpected.
"Details buried deep in Census Bureau data show a sustained drop in earnings for 25- to 34-year-old grads, to their lowest level since 1997"

And this one…
“Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld warned yesterday that "moral and intellectual confusion" over the Iraq war and the broader anti-terrorism effort could sap American willpower and divide the country, and he urged renewed resolve to confront extremists waging "a new type of fascism”…"
“As the secretary of defense sharpened his rebuttal to critics of the war in Iraq, he alluded to those in the 1930’s who advocated appeasing Nazi Germany.”

Gee, Don…do you think it just might be people like… you…that are dividing the country? Telling me that I’m confused? And throwing in those comments about Nazi Germany certainly doesn’t help. But he is right in one sense; there is definitely a new type of fascism present in the world.
