THINK ABOUT IT

THE NRA IS JUMPING FOR JOY

And wouldn't you just know it would be in Florida. The state with more problems then all the others combined.

So what has made the NRA so happy, well the legislature just passed a measure that says any person "has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm."

Only Florida could lead the way and pass this law.

ROADS IN WASHINGTON STATE

The state just past a gas tax increase of 8-9 cents per gal of gas over the next several years. I'm retired and drive about 5,000 miles per year. My SUV gets 23 miles per gal. Even at .10 cents additional that about $21.70 additional per year, $1.80 per month, About .06 per day. I can handle that just fine thank you.

On Dori Monsons talk show he bashes the state and calls this a "job program" well DUH let's see him build a road without creating jobs. He then goes on to say it's all just about PAY BACK to the unions and the big campaign contributors. That is just silly BS. You need people to build roads, bridges and highways.

There are 189 highway projects and Pierce, King and Snohomish account for 94 project the rest of the state account for 95 projects.

I don't want to pay anymore in taxes than I have but I'm telling you roads and highways are important. Yes there are some roads that are not needed, just look at that damn Tunnel in Bremerton. But you don't stop all projects because you disagree with one.

THE BOTTLE OF WINE

For all of us who are married, were married, wish we were married, wish we weren't married... Something to smile about the next time you open a bottle of wine.

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a word or two of thanks, she got in the car. After resuming the journey and a bit of small talk, the Navajo woman noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What's in the bag?" asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for a moment, and then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder said, "Good trade."
