Saturday Bloggage

Yeah, folks, well, just came from my son's Saturday Morning Hockey Game. Well, his team lost 1-5, and are coming to the end of their season.

He is a bit of an exception in terms of the typical Roller Hockey family around here - typically - but there you go.

He had 2 games as goalie the first season, and the team somehow decided to let him close out the season with 2 games in goal. And, for the first time, he is saying he is not enjoying it in goal. I guess most parents want to see their child scoring goals, and maybe we were the only ones bidding for slap shot positions. After all, this is his first season in Roller Hockey.

Above he is shown at a recent class trip to the beach up at Rum point.

US Auto industry

Isnt it something that its only GM, Chrysler and Ford who are asking for a bailout. And all Uncle Sam wants is an account of how it will be spent and how it will be repaid, and they will not account for it, and the bailout is now in danger.

Toyota USA, Nissan USA and all the other Japanese companies with huge investments in the US are not asking for anything. Sure, they are having a slowdown as well, but they are not asking the government to prop them up.

How much will the US taxpayer be able to stand, propping up the financial industry and the Auto industry, while they themselves are immersed in mortgage failures, and bank failures.

And, ironically, the Auto industry arrived in Washington, on company business jets, to beg 25 billion dollars. Great, isnt it.

A few months ago, after the financial industry bailout, AIG, one of the companies receiving bailout money, spent $440,000 on a retreat for their staff.... Nice, isnt it?

Just what in the Lord's name is going on?

Bloggage

Lawd.

I dont even know how to post a link any more. But Ms. Cute pants I have met her now that she lives here in the Islands that time forgot - what I delightful lady - and what an expert bloggonomist.

I abandoned bloggitis for Facebook, and I have been having a nice time, but I guess its a different cinting altogether.

Folks, how are you doing - How are you doing my folks in Jam Rock - sorry I wont make it there until 09, if the Lord spares me.

Of course the Bullist is still about, and I read his posts from time to time.

Lots more work here in my office that the last time I blogged, so hopefully I can continue with the general bloggage.

All manner of problems everywhere, from Wall Street to Main Street, as they say. Financial meltdowns causing those who make a living from liquidations and deregistration of investment funds to do well.

However my work seems to have dodged the poison arrow so far, and I hope this continues in 09.

Hope to read some of your blogs now, and get back to my old blogging peeps.

Florida's prisons, US politics, general bloggage

Folks

I once read some idiot's post (I'm just another idiot) that when you dont post for a long time you should not apologise or explain, one should just get on with it.. and on and on the idiot went.

Oh well, He can suck an egg.

This makes quite interesting reading about recent events in Florida's prisons. Its also worth watching the video and looking at the photos.

Thanks to the Bull for the HTML refresher.

See my next post for a link to another sordid article.

Really seems as if Barack is biting Hillary's heel now.. matters heating up as I type..

Blogging, whats that again?

I heard from my Bloggionista from the chilly Atlantic today.

Then, I went through the withdrawal symptom of not remembering my login and password for Blogger again. That's evidence of blog blockage.

Anyway - hope everyone is doing fine.

The US presidential process is quite interesting-

Quite a shocking (but not surprising) report about sex trafficking in the UK here..http://edition.cnn.com/video/

See if you can read it --

I managed to get a few words in before January was out -- yippee..
