Have had some springy weather as of late. It has warmed up and so we have been able to get some stuff done outside. Getting some cleanup done.
Chad and Sarah are off for a long weekend in Tennessee helping out habitat for humanity. He bought a new hammer for the project - made sure it was American made to help out our economy, not China's.
Joe has made some progress with the Dodge. But I think that there is a negative correlation between the number of friends at the car and the amount of work done. In other words, the more kids, the less work.
I just shake my head at the government. Give Billions to AIG, they give out millions to their execs as bonuses. Now they want to tax the bonuses. What a circus sideshow. The whole situation is one big mess. But one point that is it illustrates is how politicians can reward or punish willy nilly with the stroke of a pen. Hope that folks take notice and get more involved with politics.
One point that isn't getting much notice is that one of senators put the provision in the bill that allowed these bonuses. So they created the situation and now they are going to punish the guys that got the bonuses. The senator that put the rider in the bill - just shrugs his shoulders and says oops - don't blame me...
This week it is the executives, but where next will the eye of congress fix its gaze? Nobody knows, but everyone better watch their wallets.
