The Good Life

Mission accomplished. We dithered in town while the plumber worked on the well piping. Upon our return, we went to the dump and disposed of the old “Wishing well” structure. Now I have to come up with some sort of protective cover for the exposed wellhead before the weather turns very cold.

While dithering; that is sipping on a latte at the CafĂ© Mondo; I read a great article by Jaime O’Neill, a local contributor to the Chico News & Review. He certainly has a way with words!

While reading the news this morning, I saw this, “The new majority is expected to hold hearings on military spending and the Iraq war - just for starters.” Now that should make Mr. Cheney nervous. And it proves that while the Democrats and Republicans were making the usual conciliatory noises after the election, there is still going to be a move towards justice. Finally.

Even with a mandate from the public, it’s going to be a tough fight… “The president made it clear that, for now, his idea of how to “put the elections behind us” is to use the Republicans' last two months in control of Congress to try to push through some of the worst ideas his administration and its Republican allies on Capitol Hill have come up with.”

And this... I used to be a Rush Limbaugh fan; that was back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, when he was in Sacramento and way before his market share and ego had expanded to astronomical proportions. Now I have to wonder; what’s he saying these days?
