From the editor:

If I were to say, because in the abstract, we think. Last week outcomes had a balance of insight. Don't drive in the outbound fire lane. Left is a hand and philosophy, but don't turn into a one way. Cause in itself is an affect. Ideas are useless, action is the only measure of success. What would you be thinking right now?

I read a great book last week called, How to Get Ideas, by Jack Foster. It was eye opening and put a perspective on life that made the reader consider acting now on ideas and goals. An idea is a collision of two known facts, put together in a different way. For example, why did it take so long to figure out that; 2 doors on a minivan would be a really good idea. Chocolate and milk, pencil and eraser, Ink in the pen, computer and dating, to name a few. What is your idea? What is your goal? What do you think about every day that you know you would love to do, may make you rich, make you famous, make you happy? Think about white out, the sticky note, the mouse, the flying car, the poem, the CD, the photograph, the new trivial pursuit game, the new learning method, run for school board, run for Governor, run for Mayor, just run, learn guitar, learn piano, write a song, develop the next (you put your idea here).

Now take your age and multiply it by 2. Scary isn't it? The line in the book that made me shutter was, "an idea is useless, unless you put action behind it". I write a Blog, this "newsletter", I have 3 CD's of original music, I have a web site that has had nearly 2000 visitors, and a million other ideas. I'm nuts! I want to implement 2 of them, make that 3, no 4, wait I have another idea, oh anyway... I'm nobody making my way through the world of ideas. What's your idea? More importantly; when will you put it into action? And even more importantly, if you do put your idea into action because of this and become successful, remember me!!

Thanks for your few minutes of support each week!

The weeks most interesting

Nukes through Mexico? Does anyone doubt this could happen?

Now this an illegal immigration program we can live with!!!

Original music scene & not so original...

The "Gazette" Review - Click here to read the entire review!!

 

Check these guys out. Excellent acoustic original music!! Mike "Perk" was in Key West recently and told me I had to check these guys out. Excellent harmonies and overall sound. Original at its best!!! By this CD with the money you would have spent on Linda Ronstadt!

http://www.themassacoustics.com

Linda Ronstadt makes some more comments that show her absolute ignorance of politics. Her new CD is "Hummin to Myself". Maybe she should take the advice of her new CD when it comes to talking politics. I don't get the left and their obsession with Hitler!!

Common sense?

Russia developing a mystery nuke? Where are the cries from the left about this program. Star Wars is a waste of money? The people that want peace through disarmament just don't get it!

 

Did you know?

The UN "Oil for Food" program scandal just keeps getting bigger and bigger. France will be totally discredited as a National Security Council member by the end of the investigation. The dollar figure went from 11 Billion to 21 Billion stolen from the Iraqi people by Sadam and his cohorts at the UN. Yeh, they want to help people, but the people are themselves!

Fact, fiction, or funny

From an anonymous RN   

Guns and Doctors

 

 Doctors:

 

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

 

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.

 

(C) Accidental deaths per physician are 0.171. Statistics courtesy of

 

U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services.

 

****************************************

 Guns:

 

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.

 Yes, that is 80 million.

 

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year,

 all age groups, is 1,500.

 

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.

 

 Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more

dangerous than gun owners.

 

 

Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

  

Fact: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST

EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

  

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors

before this gets completely out of hand.

 

 Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics

on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and

seek medical attention.

Some fun ads:

Man, honest.  Will take anything.

Sheer stockings.  Designed for fancy dress, but so servicable that lots
        of women wear nothing else.
 

Tired of cleaning yourself?  Let me do it.
 

We do not tear your clothing with machinery.  We do it carefully by    
        hand.
 

Wanted:   50 girls for stripping machine operators in factory

For sale:  antique desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large    
        drawers.

Dumb Truckers

While driving along the back roads of a small town, two Arkansas truckers came to an overpass with a sign that read CLEARANCE 11'3". They got out and measured their rig, which was 12'4".

"What do you think?" one asked the other.

The driver looked around carefully, then shifted into first.
"Not a cop in sight. Let's take a chance!"
