* - - - - - * Didnt do much yesterday. A little work in the basement but nothing major. * - - - - - * I did however spend a whole lot of time on my computer trying to get a handle on my files, especially my images. Ive managed to make some progress in that area. Today if I have time to get back to it I want to first organize these images into groups like friends, family, kids (my dogs) and so on. Just not sure how much time Ill have. * - - - - - * Today my neighbor and I are having a big cedar tree that is on our property line removed. Its about the same size as the guy that I had taken down just a couple of weeks ago. Itll cost use $300.00 which well split. Might have a couple of smaller trees trimmed up a bit too. * - - - - - * GOP DUMBEST QUOTE OF THE DAY:

STUDENT LOAN SINKHOLE
How massive student loan debts are sinking American dreams and causing a national economic headache.
According to the Department of Education, the average amount of undergraduate student debt in this country is now more than $22,000. And sudden changes in lenders' terms and rates can quickly turn a personal debt into a financial sinkhole, grounding the dreams of many college graduates even before they've started. This week, NOW follows the story of a single mother in Baltimore trying to dig herself out of more than $70,000 student loan debt. While issues of personal responsibility are debated, there's no question the high price of higher education is creating an ocean of student loan debt for people who can least afford it. How are the 70 million Americans with student debt frustrating America's economic recovery? * *BLACKS AND JEWS
