Hope you have missed us. We've been gone since Saturday, August 16. To fly to Salt Lake City, we drove to Tallahassee, FL, for a short flight to naturally Atlanta. Then on from Atlanta to Salt Lake City, Utah, for the 2008 Melaleuca International Convention. More ... Wouldn't it be great to turn on the TV and hear any U.S. President, Democrat or Republican, give the following speech? "My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed. Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. More ... This may sound strange, but I don't like politics! If we could get politics out of government, the country would be a much better place. Governing and politics are not the same thing and shouldn't be dependent on each other. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. I guess I've been lucky to have won two elections as councilman and two as mayor without "politicking. More ... Two 90-year-old men, Moe and Joe, have been friends all of their lives.

It had been a while since she had been to visit. I look forward to her visits as she is a very good person to talk to. More ...

However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House. More ... Tried to pull for Colquitt. Called Tarrer Inn about room due to no electricity or running water. They were charging anywhere from $99 to $154 for room!!! Called Donalsonville, they were giving all locals discounts and charging $55 due to storm. Thanks, Donalsonville, for caring during a time of crisis! More ... On Being Christian In writing about Barrack Obama's religion, columnist Cal Thomas says, "There is a clear requirement for one to qualify as a Christian, and Obama doesn't meet that requirement."
