“Flush Bush

How do we have an Administration lecturing Newsweek about “journalistic standards”–the failure to get on the record confirmation before printing a story when we went to war in Iraq on similar sloppy standards.”

AMEN!

Been nearly a week since I put fingers to keyboard. Or in TextWrangler anyway. I think I have blathered a bit here and there but no sit down and try to get a stream of thought stuff down. Course been that long or longer since I have gotten into that way of thinking. Seems like a month or more now. Closing on two? Ah well.

Found a website/group of podcasts yesterday that I have to share. Name of Closet Deadhead. Grabbed the whole bunch of them and am listening to the first one now. Makes for some different sitting in the woods in the early morning waking up I must say!

Takes me back a few years. More than I would like to think of. And on that note, I’ll see if I can lead the head in a different direction.

only way so far is down the hill, to the creek. Raked the unburned wood up into a pile and added some dry twigs. Smoking pretty good, looks like it’s about to take off again.

Been burning brush since sunday afternoon. Rain stopped and we set it on fire, smokey but got it going and been going since. See fire now so am gonna add more wood. back in a bit.

I just hope the Amish see just how EVIL Wal-Mart actually is and don’t use the store.
