Don’t ya just hate getting behind the guy that’s driving five under the speed limit in the fast lane? Don’t ya just hate getting behind the lady who doesn’t understand you can take more than one lettuce leaf at a time from the salad bar? Don’t ya just hate when someone gives you weeks of teasers about some big trip they’re going on and then even more teasers about the great pictures they took, but the never post the story OR the pics?!

Me too.

Unfortunately, I’ve got a major project going at work and I’m in serious crunch mode. I’ve been pulling 12-16 hour days all this week and will probably will for the next few weeks. It’s that time again when the only time I see my wife is when she’s already asleep in bed.

The two weeks before I was working ’til midnight, I was rushing home to take care of this or that little issue, filling out this or that form or contract, in order to get our home purchase rolling. (By the way, all the paper work has gone to finance and title. From now until August, no news is good news.)

So, this is yet another sorry excuse for not getting something posted. Our New York trip was amazing and the pictures really are great. I’ve uploaded more than half of them to Flickr, but the rest are still on my home PC just waiting for me to get them online. I’ll do my best to squeeze that in some night. Then I can type up the trip report during my lunch hour or something.

Deal? Ok.

Boy, I sure am glad that Bronco Bomber bailed out commandeered the auto industry and saved it from bankruptcy.

Oh wait. That’s right. The bankruptcy happened anyway, and is much worse that it would have been, with the unions that killed it now owning a controlling interest. Nevermind.

Well, at least the banking industry was saved by the bail out buy out. Wait, what? Banks are still going under? Bronco’s Tres. Sec won’t let the successful banks pay back the money they didn’t want in the first place? And the bad banks that received billions don’t even know where the money went? Hrmm.

Surely then, Bronco’s stimulus package saved American jobs, like he promised. (The blue graph was published by the White House in its pitch for the “Recover Plan.” The red line was added to show the actual results so far.)

Well, nuts. Looks like Bronco is not working out so well. Gee. Who’d have thunk it? Apparently, more and more are figuring it out. (Index to -8 and dropping like a rock.)
