Summer At Last
Here are some pictures of the second-longest day of the year from the house on the lake.
Our beach; there is a lot of driftwood that has washed up in recent stormy weather. The water is a little rough today, and I saw only a few lonely boats braving the waves.
The nearby fishing pier has some action. Let's take a closer look:
Some kids with mom playing on the pier. More pictures to come. It's such a photogenic place.

Riding in my BMW going to the discotheques, there's a Landmark near Greensboro. There goes my pal, Rocco with his scarred face and his titus whitus. He's heading for Huntington in his Cadillac takin' it for a Tester drive.
I'm just a goon-lovin' saloon hag.

That's a gorgeous view Loretta. We used to live two blocks from the bay. Good times. I really love being near the water.

I haven't gotten tired of it, yet, but you all probably have.
I just watched an amazing (ding) sunset and wished I'd had the camera.
It's a little nippy out there, but wow.
Supposibly (heh) the Shuttle was out last night, but I had no idea where to look for it.
But, because we have 36 miles of nothing but water, there are a lot of stars in the sky above my house on clear nights. There are no street lights, either.
It's almost like camping.

I can only speak for me and I'm not tired of it. I love the pictures!

I meant to thank you, Barbara, for that logic puzzle site. I have done a lot of them, and they are really fun.
Keeps the brain ticking, ya know?

My SIL likes that stuff too. He was here yesterday and I was showing it to him. They have the two new ones for this month. It really does keep the cells firing on all cylinders when you have to think in a different way.

You reminded me that I had only done one of the two so I had to go do the other one.

Hey Frankie!
Did you wear your hat or did it ley on the seat when driving. Pick up any hickory nuts on the way? Stop and see Thee Playhouse?
Nice to see you again, stop by and see me at the condo again. LOL, if the goons aren't out.

I did the Bee one. I do the easier ones with the 4x4 grid. I have to work my way up to the hard ones.

I'm just a trans-global kinda gal, holmes.
21 Vendue is my venue.
Posted by: Frankie Jo | June 22, 2007 10:36 PM
Hey Frankie!
Changed venues? Did numbers change? I had 1724 for you.
My is 4700.
Don't need any Lawyer to call you to have Tom's.
You can't stop and see Thee Playhouse? Well I can't stop and see Titus Tramps WW. Dissolved.
What is 1386?
Posted by: New Holmes | June 23, 2007 10:32 AM
I meant: Mine is 4700. As in my number.

It's a Mystery.

Sad news, but better than no news:
CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- Searchers recovered a body Saturday afternoon that they believe is that of Jessie Marie Davis, a pregnant woman who disappeared June 13, police said.
Bobby Cutts Jr., the father of Davis' 2-year-old son, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, including that of Davis' unborn child, said Stark County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Rick Perez. Cutts is also believed to be the father of Davis' unborn child.

Christopher Vaughn, 32, was charged with eight counts of first-degree murder, prosecutor James Glasgow said.

Thanks, Astro.
Wow...on the Horowitz news.
And the house? Well, that's pretty strange. You'd think someone would pick it up. Maybe they think it's cursed.
Posted by: loretta | June 24, 2007 06:09 PM
I'm surprised nobody wanted the house too. Odd, after all the publicity.

Required reading: Parts I and II of a four part series in the WaPo about Cheney:
Part I:

Part II:

It is not only our constitutional obligation to bring articles of impeachment against Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez and eventually Shrubbery, but it is our moral imperitive.
The house of cards is falling. What is interesting is Cheney's reaction to the WTC2 falling.
Anyone who still doesn't realize that he was up to his elbows in the 9/11 false flag operation is living in Oz.
Wake up.
Posted by: loretta | June 25, 2007 07:40 PM
Some people who have followed this (and predicted this from early on, even before 9/11) think that the powers-that-be are throwing Cheney and Co under the bus.
Why? Cuz he failed.
They may have sheeple as citizens, but not everyone is asleep. And they never counted on the power of the Internets.
heh
Thank God for the last bastion of the free press. Long live the world wide web.

Well Hello to all in the Comfy living room after many moons of being away. I was hoping to find current activity here.
I moved halfway across the country and back and checked in to observe now and then and was afraid you'd all run off.
Glad to see the pertinent issues on my mind are being covered on here. I'm not too surprised about that at all.
Just realized a few minutes ago that Jessie Davis was most likely being covered if you guys were still here.
And the Cheney thing - boy do I have some reading to do.
Well Hello to one and all. Unfortunately I have to go to sleep in about 5 minutes. Missed you guys. Hope everyone is well.
The sunset pictures are spectacular!

Oh, me oh, my. those are beautiful shots. I am awf to bed at last. Who knew how much the front page thrives? We do, that's who! Bach in the saddle again.
Posted by: moi | June 26, 2007 02:28 AM
We've been following two or three, Linda, but there's a lot of real life happening as well, so we are rather sporadic...
Posted by: vero | June 26, 2007 02:56 AM
Oh, at last, I'm back!
Haven't caught up yet. Just wanted to tell you how envious I am of the beauty around you, Loretta.
Good morning, all!
Posted by: Mgt | June 26, 2007 04:28 AM
Ciao, everybody!
Posted by: Mgt | June 26, 2007 11:59 AM
Yay, Mgt's back!
Linda, long time no see.
I'm not even halfway through those articles Loretta linked, but it's good reading.
About the 9-11 fiasco; has anyone seen the trailers for Michael Moore's film, "SICKO"?
The Bush administration's after him for trying to help some of the 9-11 First Responders with serious medical problems caused by their exposure to toxins released in the disaster.
He took some of them to Cuba for medical treatment our government should be providing them. How's that for callousness?
Here's an excerpt from Michael Moore's acceptance speech at the Academy Awards ceremony in 2003:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael Moore's acceptance speech
On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan
from Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this.
I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us,
and we would like to they're here in solidarity with me because we
like nonfiction.
We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times.
We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects
a fictitious president.
We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious
reasons.
Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we
are against this war, Mr. Bush.
Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you.
And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you,
your time is up.
Thank you very much.

He was booed vigorously by many in the audience during his speech.

Nadine - the Booers represent the Ignorant (IMHO)

Peace to all my Misfit buds.

Morning, everyone!
A special shout out to Nadine. Hope all is going well for you sweet lady.
Hey, I enjoyed reading that acceptance speech. Tony Blair is in tatters, too. IMO.
