Read this carefully....
East Texas's worst air disaster occurred when a small two-seater Cessna 150 plane, piloted by two Texas Aggie students, crashed into a cemetery earlier today.
Search and rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and expect the number to climb as digging continues into the evening.
The pilot and copilot survived and are helping in the recovery efforts.

I love Texans...
A man in East Texas had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.
Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, "I have a flat tire.
"The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back! I never did understand it either.

OH Deer... Again
The idiots of Solon, Ohio are at it again. Once again protesting the culling of deer in their community.
There is no question that there is an overpopulation of deer in Ohio. For most of the state, hunting is illegal. Communities like Solon, keep issuing building permits and destroying the natural habitat of the deer. The animals have no where to go, so they end up splattered over a fine GM, Ford, or Chrysler product. They eat thousands of dollars worth of plants, shrubbery, and gardens. The same people that are protesting the culling of the herd, also complain that they must cope with the damage.
Personally, I don't want to shoot animals either. But I understand the need to thin the herd.... Come to think of it... that is exactly what we need to do.. IN SOLON!

Is it too late to say Happy New Year???
OK... so I'm a few days late...I've been busy...
Cleveland has a new Mayor.. will it make any difference? Probably not. He has already begun his term by falling into the same old political patterns... first item on the agenda...revamp the police department. Can't anyone be creative?
Then there is the school board. The media reports that Barbara Byrd-Bennett gave her official resignation yesterday. They reported that this occurred amidst tears. Yeah... tears of joy... She was the highest paid CEO the Cleveland Schools ever had. This wouldn't have been a problem if the schools weren't in the worst shape they have ever been in...Oh well...
You would actually think I cared about this stuff...
Reality? NOT
We just had a great time in Valley Forge, PA. Except for the fact that the American Spaniel Association was having a gathering in our hotel, we had a great time. Rent the movie "Best In Show" and you will have experienced our weekend ( without the smell). Dog show people are really weird.
Anyhow... I am ready for 2006 to be an "extreme" year. It is up to me to make it that way...
