Joy!

After that last posting, I wanted to show the fun I had with Sitar Bob and Jim Pendlend. Hope we do it again.

Today we hope to go to see family in Fortescue New Jersey. Right now going to have Hawaiian coffee and oatmeal to soothe the morning along

Labor Day Holiday Begins Sept 4th

Men Against Willful Ignorance 

 August was a buzy welfare month and the whole last week was too much of that good ole B.S stuff. I just decided to take next Thurs and Friday off. I was really being stressed out. Well, at least I have 

a job. I am sure the new Gov we get is going FREEZE our salaries if NOT cut them. WE public employees are

the enemy since we have good benefits and there is a race to the bottom. Can you believe that jjerk who
is the Republican for US Senate in Alaska, Joe Miller. He thinks Social Security and UC benefits are unconstitutional. I
I am blogging as usual and petsitting. We are having a big yard sale next Sunday. This is to conincide with the Sept 12 Arts and Music Festival in Millville We are selling alot of stuff. We already sold the VW bus and we have other items for very good prices.

I even looked up Gaelic words since Google Translate does not have Gaelic on the list of languages. We then took the dogs for a nice walk and I checked out the Empire Solon around the corner from our house. It was ok and cheaper then the Supercuts at the mall. Went to Bogarts for a bit today. See the short video

Its a nice breezy day to sit and real and just try to just chill. I sang with Jim Penlend with Sitar Bob's electronic sitar. It was big fun!! I would like to do it again. It made folks passing by smile!  It would be better if I answered the phone better and not flake out but we will work on that. My brother emailed some big news and life is full of change. Like the feeling outside that we are in transition from Summer to Fall. My mind is going to a different place at times.  In the meantime we plan to go to Fortescue tomorrow and have a picnic with the kids.
 I am overdoing it with the Joe Miller links below but EVEN on a holiday weekend you have to read it to believe it. I mean is ending Social Security and UC benefits going to go mainstream like messing with the 14th Amendment and not allowing Muslums to build a Mosque. Man these right-wingers make Ronald Reagan look like a liberal. Check this out below. Its a bit over the top saying that Obama in some ways is as conservative. I mean Obama is too conservitive in temperment and the Dems are allowing the right-wing bullies to dominate the media. Please Democrats, STOP BEING WIMPS!! This just encourages the bullies to push further to the right. At this point, I am going to look like a far-left radical by just keeping my point of view.
Anyway, I guess I better stop taking all my time staring at the computer and do something constructive in the house

Sitar Bob Writes of the Noise of the Racetrack

Hey All,

I concur... the Grand Am event was the loudest one yet. None of it has really bothered me all that much but that was loud!!! I am, at times, (eh...hem) a late sleeper but it has not really interfered with my beauty rest so far. Lord knows I need it!!!

Cedar St. traffic is much closer to my house and louder. The racetrack noise is more constant but usually like hearing alot of traffic out on Buckshutem Road to me. I think I have more woods between me and the track than some folks even west of Buckshutem. It seems louder at my friend's house on Porreca Drive to me than at my house near the intersection. If I had a smelly horse farm there, I might have to sell it cheap and move to another town far, FAR away!!! (Hint, hint.)

I try to think of it as the sound of people having fun!!! Like music, if it is a sound you enjoy, you can tolerate it much louder. (Remember all of those Iron Butterfly concerts??? Me neither!!!) If it is sound you don't enjoy, it is extremely annoying. (Wives and preachers take note!!!)

I was against the racetrack initially because of enviromental, noise and dust pollution reasons. I have come to embrace the racetrack as it is now a reality. I usually hate to hear car races on TV but I watched the race they broadcast from the park and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I do feel for the people who are getting more noise than I am. It is

probably JUST tolerable for me. However, the airshow is much worse... like living in a war zone from the time they start flying in and practicing on Wed. to the Monday after when they start flying home. I have had my home strafed by warplanes directly overhead for hours on end and for days at a time. Now THAT'S stressful!!! Read my INFERNO story about it. Made me most unpopular with those who didn't get the humor!!! Carl... cc: that to everyone stat!!!)

Hopefully more buffers will be implemented and perhaps officials can take a second look at whether we should have open wheeled racing. Other than that, hope that racetrack folks will want to buy homes in the area near the track!!! Perhaps there is a way to market the homes of those who want to sell to those racing enthusiasts who would like a home near the track. (Realtors.... are you listening to the genius dribbling out of me like tapioca from Grandpa's mouth???)

It could be worse. It could be an open air Hip-hop concert venue! Or worse yet, country and western!!! Yee-Hah!!!

Think of the sound of the racetrack like prison sex - Once you except it's inevitability, you might just as well loosen up and try to enjoy it!!!
