Crack!
Got a cracked windshield yesterday from a rock. When I first looked, the crack was 1 inch long. In a mile, it was about 13 inches long. Nice living in sunny AZ with the heat - now I have to get it replaced.

Everyone be careful out there on the highways this holiday.
Be especially careful with the amateur pyrotechnics... even the most seemingly inane thing can be a source of serious hurt.

unemployment approaching 10% nationwide
I think we all feel that pain with the nose dive the economy took.Hoping for rebound.
My retirement accounts have rebounded some, but at my age, I have to wonder if they will get back to pre-recession levels in my lifetime.
Don't go to the bank with that thought! Still in a downward spiral as far as unemployment is concerned,Lets see what the second half of 09 brings.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence? Well here it is:
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured..
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred Honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants,
Nine were farmers and Large Plantation Owners;
Men of means, well educated,
but they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.
These men along with the farmers, shopkeepers,school teachers, blacksmiths etc, set aside their daily lives to fight for Independence and for the Freedom of OUR Nation
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th (or 1st)of July holiday and reflect on those who have passed before us.
Perhaps,silently thank these patriots, It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
And Remember:
Your Freedom Has never been free!

New(er) Car
I bought a "newer" car to replace my older car:
I replaced a 2000 Chrysler Voyager with 105,000 miles with a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country with 53,000 miles. It is a "Butane Blue Pearl" color, Touring model.
Much smoother suspension and I love the seats that collapse into the floor.
