thought for the day

not that it hadn't occurred to me...

are you a sarah jessica parker fan? no? you might want to check here and see what you and i have missed. [click the photo, too]

big changes at the orphanage

my old camper, the 77 sportmobile--

the official vw camper of ragby; the official bus of cardinal sin;

the official vehicle of the orphange, and of the church of the two-wheeled scam, and the grocery getter of sister nun, of the above;
the icon and home-base for the many thousands of orphans far-flung and nearby for so many years, where stories of discipline and clean-living were told by both sister non, of the above, and later by the mostly reverend, whose divine example all little orphans strive to attain in their daily lives, the official bus of the note-worthy nativity scene of the orphanage, has been sold. as i write this, it is rolling down I-35 toward its new home just north of kansas city. it will begin its new life with a new young family, and although i speak for us all by saying that we will miss it, we wish its new owners all the very best that it has given so many over the fourteen years that it has served us so well.

bye bye, bus.

coming soon: the jack and the magic bean bus--the final chapter

sent by a friend

unlike any conversation in which i might ever participate, by the way.

what words could YOU change to make it fit you?

dallas county board of supervisors meeting

watch as they discuss a proposal of the iowa state association of counties to require any group ride of as few as ten cyclists to register, get a permit, carry signed waivers of liability, AND show proof of a MINIMUM of $1,000,000 liability insurance for the ride. you'll learn that the dallas county engineer is PRESIDENT of the group that developed this model ordinance, and be further dazzled by the fact that the dallas county attorney is the current president of the state county attorney association. [anyone ever read "the peter principle"?]

there will be eleven of this clips. at present, i have eight completed and posted; the other three will be linked here as the slow process continues.

enjoy, and then write to the board of supervisors and give them your opinion.
