Oh Dear!

Caption. "U.S.S. William Jefferson Clinton - home port, Vancouver, B.C." The body of the e-mail added in some tidbits about the former president and a little of his behavior while in office. I hope that is a helipcopter that can lift off.

Caption: "U.S.S. Barack Obama . no details "released. he has no plans." It may not be far off the mark, fun or no, as our President is off visiting a country that has no use for us, trying to broker a deal or two, only to be held up in their newspaper headlines as the attacker of Lybia. He could have, and probably should have stayed home and attended to the business at hand.

Along with the two 'fun' pictures of the supposedly U.S. Navy ships was a picture of the newest enormous U.S. S. Reagan, but for some reason it did not take so I cannot show it to you. The e- mail went on to tell all about how it was 100,000 tons with full compliment; powered by two nuclear reactors and can operate for twenty years without refueling and should last fifty years. It handles 80 combat air crafts and has arresting cables to stop a 28 ton aircraft going 150 m.p.h. in less than 400 feet. The towers are 20 stories above the water level and it is 1,092 feet long as the Empire State Building is tall. The article went on about its 6,000 personnel . There was nothing said about the cost. . . probably more zeros than I could print out on this blog.

This stuffed 'kitty' is on the wall at Whaleshead restaurant and has no business being on here this morning. It is one of those mornings when I have only one eye open and I think I know what I'm doing. Maybe I'll wake up soon and open the other eye and make some sense this morning, but not until after the coffee is brewed and I have had a sip or two.

I really feel sorry for all of you that have gas guzzlers. Hopefully when you bought your car, you chose one with good mileage. This little gas gauge sure tells it as it is.

I haven't been to an auction of late, but I bet there would be a lot of bidding for this can with or without the gas in it. An antique . . . worth at least the price of a gallon of gasoline.

Here it is, the new bright beautiful moon that was riding close to our earth. We couldn't see it from here with our stormy weather and big clouds hiding it from view. Son John is up in Anchorage so he went out with his trusty camera and took a couple of pictures for us. You have to agree that it is one big and one beautiful moon. The stories told is that this kind of a moon, so large, so close to earth, it begets bigger storms and bigger events of nature. This time it didn't seem to work, but then they did have wicked storms in southern California, even snow. . . so maybe there was a bit of truth to it.

So today, Tuesday and the electricity is playing games as it must have gone out in the middle of the night and the stove clock was blinking, yet every other clock was fine . . . a new mystery, and maybe why the computer has been acting strange this week. I hope your day is a good one with everything working as it should. Maybe that moon did have a bit of mystery hanging on its entrails. Pick up the pace a little today and try and finish up a project or two. Google up a picture of the new USS Ronald Reagan and take a good look at it, and say a prayer for the 6,000
personnel aboard. If that ship shows up in someones 'backyard', you can be sure they will 'look, listen and stop in their tracks'. Make your seconds count today and everyday and pay attention to the sights and sounds in your day. Hugs to all.

It sure looks lonely up there.
