Donald Rumsfeld is giving George Bush his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "And yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing incident in Iraq."

"OH NO!" exclaims the President. "That's terrible!"

His staff are stunned at this display of emotion, watching nervously as the president sits with his head in his hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks:

"How many is a brazillion?"

You are one lucky guy. It still shakes you up even though you aren't physically hit. No matter how careful you are, you have to watch the other driver who can be doing who knows what as they drive. This last one, did she have a cell phone at her ear? How do you not hear a horn honking at you? Maybe she had the radio too high. We don't drive with the radio on while in the city because you can't hear sirens from ambulances, etc.

We just about got sideswiped two Saturdays ago in Regina. The stupid girl switched lanes without shoulder checking. It was at the east end of the city before we got where the curbs are so we had a paved shoulder to swerve onto. I wonder what the driver immediately behind us was feeling when they saw what almost happened.

Landlords, Lenders and Mortgages, Oh My!

So we meet with our landlords on Monday (fingers crossed!) Hopefully all will go well. I've been reading up on mortgages and it looks like they want to see your business track record going back three years. Ugh. If that's the case then we have some more time to put into it. Good news though; my credit rating is stellar! I think Steve's is too, but we didn't get his credit report, just mine.

Wish us luck on Monday!

Good news about your mom. That's what we were hoping to hear. Being home is much easier to rest and eat when you want.

Are you hitting the books now? I tried to remember when you were to get to it.

I was invited down the block for tea today with two ladies and along came a third so that was very nice. Afterward, one said,"We were going to organize a tea for you but were afraid we'd miss somebody who would say,"I never heard anything about that!'." I told her I was so glad it was just the four of us. I was afraid they might have done something like that but when I only saw one car in her driveway...relief.

The museum dinner for me is on the front page of the local paper today, write-up and picture, and the editor wrote a very nice editorial about us leaving.

Someone I worked with on the Chamber of Commerce met me one morning when I was walking CoCo and said to be sure to come into the store to say good-bye but I told him I might not because good-byes aren't easy.

The Flagging Empire

This story either makes a lot of sense and is very revealing or opens up a discussion for the wild conspiracy theorists out there. Either way I thought it was something incredible to read, it's long but it's worth the read.
