DREAM AS IF YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER...

LIVE AS IF YOU ONLY HAVE TODAY

Veteran newscaster Tim Russert passed today at 58 from a heart attack while at work in his Washington DC office with NBC News. I will miss him. I didn't always agree with his views but respected his opinion.


And I thought it was hot in the Central Valley!

The moment may be temporary
The memory is forever

Okay, its a totally gratuitous moment to show off some pretty ladies in bikinis but some studies say that men are affected by this image. Strongly affected. Thought patterns tend to shift from the future to the immediate "here & now".

An engineering professor in Florida has developed a working miniture model of a craft that has no moving parts and is powered by plasma energy. Looking just like a flying saucer from those sci-fright movies of the 1950's. There are still major obstacles to be overcome before it can have practical applications but the vital first step has been taken. The rest is just engineering.

Yesterday the US Supreme Court dealt another blow to Dubya & Co. regarding the hostages being held in Gitmo. He wasn't happy.

Just because you're an intelligence officer doesn't mean you are smart.



I know I have some readers from the affected area. Leave a comment, please, about how things are going in your part of the country.

Congress passed a bill to extend unemployment benefits by three additional months. Dubya already has announced he will veto it, but the legislation appears to have enough votes to override him.

1/3rd of the seats in the Senate are up for grabs in November and the GOP's best wish is that they only lose three of those they already hold. I think thats wishful thinking.

Exxon-Mobil is going to off-load their 2,200 gas stations in the US because they are losing money.

Its TGIF and also Friday-the-13th. Do you duck & cover or party hardy? Have a great day and weekend. I'll have more for you later and, of course, more over the weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
