My daughter stood up in class on Thursday and wanted to make an announcement: She was going to live stay with her daddy that had no electricity. She estatic!!!
I'm a writer...we don't get paid much. The electric company doesn't understand that there are lean times and prosperous times. their solution is to stop me from working. If they stop me from working, it will give me incentive to pay their bill. Great idea....electric people. It must be nice being the only legal monopoloy around. Look at poor Bill Gates. This is a man who sat in his mom's garage and created DOS. Then he went on to crearte and fund the ability of Microsoft. Then he put a PC on every desk. Because of this man you know what a computer is more than a rotary phone. But, he got 1/2 of his company that he thought of, developed, created, and prospered taken away from him because he had a "monopoly". Really? Or maybe he just did something while others sat on their ass. But the power company, well that's different i suppose.
So I decidced to rise above the electric. I have my candles, my invertor and car battery, my chimney and chimney stove. I am liberating myself. Free at last Free at last Oh lord, I am free at last. This beautiful thing caused me to have a social worker call me and suggest that I might be punished for this. Oh, I see. For 100 years, electric has been around as a modern convenience. The world has had people on it for millions of years. I guess according to the world as a whole, the social worker dcf types, Every person, from Galileo, Newton, all of the Caesars, every king and queen of Europe prior to 1880, and every other child int he entire world that lived with out electric was being harmed and injured.

How to raise a baby...Guess!
I hear new parents complain that they don't know what to do. They look at this slug and wonder, what the hell am I suppose to do with that. They don't know how to handle no sleep, they don't know how to handle a bottle, formula, bouncy chairs, strollers, diapers, diaper bags, or any thing.
Then there are these fantastic doctors and stay at home moms and all sorts of people who think they have cracked the code, cracked the world around them...then they write a book or create an article in a magazine, or the real go getters create an entire magazines. (Parenting anyone?) Now if a new parent had to decide whether they were going to read some fantastic article on how to solve all of their problems, or sleep......sleep is going to win out whether they like it or not.
So what's the answer? Well, the old woman in the shoe couldn't feed her kids so she just smacked them around and sent them to bed. We still read this monstrous tale to the kids, so why not?
Seriously....What ever you think is right, is right! Trust me, everyone will let you know their opinion of whatever you do with your child. EVERYONE!!!

Our teachers...GREAT!
We derive how we see the world by people who have no idea how to raise us. The people who teach us about the world in general, are the same people who are wondering what the hell is going on. Most people are raised by kids who are about 25 or so, wondering where their path is, what the meaning of life is, and where the hell this is all going. Then they are given the task to teach a future generation. No wonder we all grow up to be confused, agitated, and wondering what people are the people we are suppose to believe.
Then these same people finally think they have a handle on things, and realize...Wow, I shoukld have told my kid that when he was young. But they didn't know it.
Folks, just because your parents gave you their advice, remember they're still learning too.

Karen Moore - Pet and Family photography
A photographer is worth their weight in gold, if not more. A good photographer is trained to develop what the minute ability our brain has to focus our eyes on one subject and only one subject. When we look at something, we look at only that- yet take in the entire scene. A photographer shows you in the light that is the most favorable for your skin color, your eye color, the shape of your nose, and even the dimples in your cheeks. Karen Moore has perfected this to such a "T", that her subjects become more than just subjects, but part of the canvas that she has created with her camera.
Karen Moore not only does photographs of people, but she takes pictures of the one subject that most photographers will shy away from - pets. Many photographers will make strict rules against pets, but NOT Karen Moore. If you have a pet that you want to have a picture of, or a pet that you want to immortalize for some reason, shape, or form - Karen Moore is the photographer that you need.
If you want Karen to capture your best image, please call 727 785 2790 or e-mail her at kmm54ymail@yahoo.com

Photos by Moose - Extraordianry Sun-Art
A sunset is beautiful, gorgeous, and exquisite. It is a creation of nature that few people truly sit and experience. However, whenever anyone has the opportunity to sit and gaze at the setting sun, whether it be through trees, over water, or the gorgeous Florida sunsets that combine the two, every single person gets a sense of awe and wonder. I never thought that the sunset could be improved, but Photos by Moose have done it. Photos by Moose has taken the world of photography to the next level where the world of art resides. Their photo's are breathtaking, and you come away thanking them for allowing you to see such a brilliant masterpiece.
Photos by Moose is more than a photography studio, and they are more than photographers. They begin with the basic design or photograph they have taken, which is also given to everyone who buys a piece of their work. Then through the magic of the dark room (where pictures are developed), they bend and pull the color to create something that is not only inspiring, but it is also an experience just to look at the photo that Photos By Moose has been nice enough to create for your viewing pleasure.
Photos by Moose is Moose and Anne Marie. Together they have over 50 years of photography experience. Photos by Moose have been doing photography since the "darkroom" was the only way to get pictures, and that skill was a time honored tradition among the great photographers such as Moose and Anne Marie.

Living Statue for Hire
When you're walking down the street and you see a street performer it's pretty obvious. They're playing their guitar, or juggling, or something to get your attention. However, it is the unique living statues that get people's attention by merely existing as what they are. A living statue, such as Barbara and Ina, is a performer who actually has to stop their mobility, control their breathing, and just exist as a statue, never drawing attention to themselves until the exact moment when it is needed. The exact moment a living statue moves, the whole world stops and everyone revolves around them.
Barbara and Ina are the quintessential living statue. Barbara with her silver clad jacket, hat, and pants, as well as a fully metallic look to her all the way down to the spectacles is a sight to see and marvel at. But, with Ina, her three foot silver clad daughter, they are a sight to be seen. Are they both living statues? Are they really statues or are they real people? Can you see them moving? These are questions that will be asked when you hire Barbara and Ina the living statues for your Office Parties, Trade shows, Weddings, or anywhere you'd like to add an extra conversational piece that will move when you least expect it.
If you'd like to hire Barbara and Ina please call 727 674 5438 or e-mail them at statue4hire@aool.com. This is an opportunity to change your party from great to extraordinary.

Oil,Oil, Oil....get over it!
Here we go!!!! Why look for alternative fuels, that's too hard. Why downsize our alreadys astronomical oil consumption? Why would you want to do that? No....just look for more right? NO! NO! How many experts, how many scientists, what is it going to take for people to realize that we need to relaize the relaities of our stay on this planet, the fact we are all connected as one, and that oil is not the wave of the future......ESP{ECIALLY IN THE GULF OF MEXICO!!!! Their dealing with habitats that have been created for centuries. Even more-this is hurricane alley. Mess with this ecosystem and you get bigger hurricanes. Then what happens when the derrecks fall off the pump and spew oil......"my bad" is all we'll get!
The full article is right here. I've reproduced it exactly, I'm not stealing it...but I thought everyone should be aware!!
LONDON (Reuters) - Oil major BP Plc said it has made an oil discovery in the
Gulf of Mexico, which analysts believe could contain over 1 billion barrels of recoverable reserves, reaffirming the Gulf's strategic importance to the industry.
BP said in a statement on Wednesday that it had made the "giant" find at its Tiber Prospect in the Keathley Canyon block 102, by drilling one of the deepest wells ever sunk by the industry.
Further appraisal will be required to ascertain the size of volumes of oil present, but a spokesman said the find should be bigger than its Kaskida discovery which has over 3 billion barrels of oil in place.
Estimates of recoverable reserves range from around 20 percent of oil in place.
"Assuming reserves in place of 4 billion barrels and a 35 percent recovery rate, BP's proven reserves .. would rise by 868 million barrels -- equivalent to 4.8 percent of the group's 18.14 billion barrels of proven reserves," Aymeric De-Villaret, oil analyst at Societe Generale said in a research note.
BP, the biggest oil producer in the U.S. and biggest leaseholder in the Gulf of Mexico, has a 62 percent working interest in the block, while Brazilian state-controlled Petrobras owns 20 percent and U.S. oil major ConocoPhillips owns 18 percent.
Iain Armstrong, analyst at Brewin Dolphin, said the discovery may have implications for long-term oil prices.
"It will ease concerns about peak oil because it shows there is life left in these mature areas," he said, adding that it could be the second half of the next decade before the find is producing.
The discovery also bodes well for other exploration in that part of the Gulf of Mexico, including at Royal Dutch Shell's nearby Great White field, Jason Kenny, oil analyst at ING in Edinburgh, said.
BP shares, which had been trading slightly down ahead of the statement, closed up 4.3 percent at 541 pence, outperforming a 1.75 percent rise in the DJ Stoxx European oil and gas sector index.
The Gulf of Mexico has become increasingly important to Western oil majors as oil rich-countries such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Russia reserve their richest fields to be developed by their state-owned oil companies.
The Gulf is especially attractive because it offers high profit margins, due to relatively low taxation compared to countries such as Russia and Nigeria, and because of the low political risk.
As nearer-shore discoveries dry up, companies have pushed further out to sea, which has forced them to develop new technologies to detect and extract the oil.
The prospects for massive discoveries in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico is also good news for U.S. politicians' ambitions to reduce the country's reliance on imported oil, although oil executives doubt the U.S. is capable of becoming self sufficient in oil.

Look at the yellow. That band of weather is all one system based in the top of the atlantic. This is one of its feeder bands. This isn't normal. This isn't what weather does. It follows the jet stream, but there usually isn't weather along the entire jet stream. By the way....the old huirricane is going to sweep the nation. What will that be like? Let the mid west get hit bu torndos, california is burning down, and there's a hurrican in the atlantic.....Mommy, is this armagedon? :-)
Hurricanes in the Pacific?
Hurricanes in the pacific
Wow, there's hurricanes in the pacific, and the Atlantic. In may I was yapping about a cataclysmic year. The pacific is hot the Atlantic is hot the gulf is hot, and the north pole is gone away. What does this all mean....Global warming Baby. But it's cold where I am, some people will say as the temps drop. That's ok. It has more to do with the change of weather, than the temperature. We're spinning out of control. Look around, is this weather normal to you?
Ask the old folks and they'll say since we went up to the moon the weather hasn't been the same. They have a pretty good point, that's also when all of the bad pollutants started to be shot into he air faster than ever. Cars, and lead fuel. Rockets, and plumes of exhaust that equal 4 months on an LA freeway, that happens in 1/2 seconds.
This is just the beginning. If you've been watching your weather forecast, take a look off the coast of maine. There's a huge system, where's it going? Why is it dragging the little class 5 hurricane with it. This system takes up the entire north Atlantic. Btu what do I know, I'm only a kid who writes a bolg and has a meteorology degree. But, I called Hurricane Katrina correctly, and Hurricane Andrew. I hope I'm not right, but there's a lot of stuff going on that says we're heading into a large winter of problems and hell. Welcome to our new world.

Yard Sale compatibility test
The life and the yard sale
As I sit at my yard sale for the third day i've seen a trend.
There are the peopel who want everything just given tot hem. Of course most people want everythign they want for free, and they want everything that they are selling for twice what its worth. That's really the american way I think.
There are the people that want only one thing. Most of the time it's fishing or pottery. These people will quickly run through and then off they go....talking about that one elusive item.
There are the people that will buy anything, just as long as it kinda suits them. One person bought 3 old magnets for a quarter.
Then there's the team. True story: A couple pulled up. They took out a few dollars out of an envelope. They had a strategy: The husband would take one side the wife the other. They get out and begin looking. As they see things, they yell to their spouse the items they see and find, so the spouse doesn't have to look over there. They arrive at the back, where I am, say thank-you at the same time and quickly leave
Fianlly, the drive bys. These people will slow way down. Drive by the sales, look real quick, and then quicky gun their engine and leave
Is this who these people are in real life? The planners, the drive buys (People just passing through and not taking any thing too seriously, and most things aren't important enough to figure out or get reall in detail with), the people looking only for one thing, and they endlessly look. Maybe the way we act at a yard sale is our real us.
The next time you want to see if you and "your friend" are a true match, go out to a few yard sales with them. You coulkd find out some things you did n't know about them previously. Are you dating a drive by?

Why do we treat the old this way?
I was speaking to a woman who was 80 years of today. She was in love with living and the world. She was living in a small apartment across from me at one point. She had to move to an assisted living facility because she just couldn't do it anymore by herself. As she was moving she told me her story. After I heard it my heart sunk...and i wondered if we have truly lost our responsibilities to our elder population. Have we really just forgotten them? Have we really turned into a society where we lock up our older people into buildings and facilities because we don't want them around anymore, because they are an inconvenience? Maybe the only fear of getting old is the fear of what the young people are going to do to us when we get there.
This is her story:
She moved to this Florida town back in the 60's. She was a spry 40 year old, and had her whole life in front of her...as she put it. She bought a house in a swampy area, but the little dirt road to the inter coastal was a nice little walk, and it was nice being so close to the beach. Because she couldn't see the water, she got her house for a really cheap price. every day she would get off of work, walk down the little dirt path, meet up with some people that lived on the other side of the path because they had money, and they would all sip wine and watch the sunset.
Soon her daughter graduated and moved away to college. Her daughter had lived in a few big cities and then she came home. By that time, my neighbor had begin to get sick so it was nice that her daughter was there to help her. She got back into better health, and her daughter's boyfriend moved in. She didn't like it, but she felt she owed her daughter something. Her daughter got pregnant, and told her mother that her house was perfect for the 3 of them, and she was shoved into a nice apartment. This sounded nice to my neighbor, especially since the mortgage payments were more expensive than then her small social security check and her small retirement check. In 1 day, her entire house was loaded up, and put into an apartment. The apartment was 3 doors down, and her daughter saw her once every three to six months. She still isn't moved in because she has to wait for someone to lift the boxes for her.
Then her daughter enrolled her into the assisted living facility, and I happened upon her in an assisted living place....accidentally. Her daughter has seen her once in a year. How sad!
