Well, I voted today, not totally Democratic because there are some real losers in this state. Sometimes you have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils and I believe that voting for Jeb as governor again is the right thing to do. McBride would have raided our pay checks and started a state income tax.That's the only way he could have afforded to do all the things he promised. I believe I pay enough taxes to take care of everything (schools, which I don't have any children in, our fire district, which lets things burn before they show up anyway, Mosquito(sp) control, which is almost worthless in Florida, etc. etc. etc.)
And no I have no facts to back it up but, what happened to all that oil we were supposed to have after they ran their pipeline through Alaska? Wasn't that the be-all end-all of our supposed dependence on other countries? As long as they can keep the prices up there will never be enough oil to satisfy the oil companies. I don't believe that they should drill in the Gulf of Mexico( I know that they are). I also believe that they have the necessary cars, trucks,planes and equipment for heating, cooling and processing that can use less fuel but won't use them either. That's less money in their fat ass wallets and we can't have that now can we?
I suppose in a way I work for this so called government but being an RCA for the Post Office is about as low on the ladder as you can get. We are the one's that do all the work and don't get paid for it. That's not right either, we do get paid for it but what they pay, without of course benefits, which RCA's don't recieve, it's not much better than minimum wage. The bullshit involved leads to health problems and never knowing if the next person to stop you is going to shoot you or ask directions can be stressful. Just one more on this little rant about work and I'm done. I don't get sick days, that's no problem, I will when I go regular. What gets me is that they give you so many, 5 I think a year, but they don't want you to use them. They're constantly complaining about them. Now the PO employs over 800,000 people and they say there's too much absenteeism if 500 people a day call in sick. That doesn't sound that bad to me.
Back to the voting.They're trying to pass a law here like they did in California, so that you can't smoke in restaurants and other public places, yes I am a smoker, so what, I don't think that they should have to right to tell me that I can't light up after a good meal or when I'm drinking a beer. I do try and make sure that it's not bothering others around me, I don't like the smoke either.
I need to go, I'm starving to death right now.

Haven't Blogged much lately, not a whole lot going on here. I'm trying to get the motorhome in shape before we go to Homestead for the races next month. It's been a while since it's been used and it's all dusty and dirty.
Push was fun and maybe not over yet. Congrats to everyone who got through on the phone. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them. I made it harder than it had to be and didn't get the right number the first time. By the time I figured out the right one it was too late. Let's hope that if they continue with this, it's good and not just a total waste of time.
On to Nascar news, Tony's still first in points and has a bigger margin than he did last week..Go Tony!!!!
Well it's almost time for 24. It's about the only thing left on TV now that Farscape is gone.

I sure hope someone hears from the DC area guys today. I don't get into chat, cuz I'm at work when you all are on, so I check for updates and there hasn't been any. I sure hope that the 2 guys they picked up are the ones doing the shooting.
My tickets for the Homestead race showed up yesterday, Yay. Maybe this year the newest bad boy of Nascar will win the championship. He is in first place in points right now with only 4 races to go. I'd love to see him win but my heart would really like Mark Martin to win it. He's probably going to retire in the next few years and he doesn't have a championship yet.
Later.

Another fun day of trying to get Blogger to post. I've been down with the flu since friday evening and just now am starting to feel like living is an option. I haven't been this sick in a long time. They gave out flu shots at work on Thursday. I'm glad I didn't get one, I'd have to blame being sick on that. It seems like everyone a work has been through this already and at least now I have too.
I put a new link on here for a treasure hunt that's supposed to start soon but they don't say when. Just that the button will change when the time has come.

Now about the teenage sex story. I'm keeping this fairly clean, you never know for sure which family members may be reading. Let's just say I cut it a little too close one day when my mom decided to come home early from work. We were on the couch in the family room and just barely had time to stand up before she walked in the door. She wasn't very happy.
That's not the only one but it's the easiest to clean up and post here.
I know most of you aren't Nascar fans, but I am. I'm getting really excited, it's getting closer to Homestead, and that's the last race this year. Now we've been every year since the first and it's always a good time. I think we're going to spend some time in the Keys this year, so if anyone wants anything let me know. Key West is cool but I like Marathon better. It's more laid back and a lot less touristy. Living in Fl, it's nice to go somewhere that the tourists don't. There aren't to many places left like that anymore. Even Ft. Myers Beach gets the college kids now.
I just can't wait.
