Hey ya'll, greetings from the wet&cold (today) coastal bend. Also known as southern Texas. Today is very unusual being cold & wet, but we had one of those northerners come through, so today's high is only around 60. We have been in the upper 80's most of the time so far. We had a good time last week with visiting family members. We got Mom R. & brother Mark out on the Bay boat to fish. We only caught one keeper which was a trigger fish(pictures below). Never caught one of them before but it was very good eats. Fishing is really off this year so far. Blame it on the warm water temp of 84, or the unusual high tides, 2-4 ft above normal, or the red tide,(algae which blooms) which Peter(me) refers to as the red death. Hopefully fishing will now change as we have had 2 cold fronts come through which kills the red tide and lowers the water temps.
Here is the triggerfish,...
Here is the jaw of the triggerfish...proof that everything in the ocean has teeth!! Once I saw the teeth I knew I had to have them to mount. Mom helped cut them off the fish after Nancy filleted it. Then we boiled it to clean it. It is so amazing to look at the teeth, they look so non fish-like. Even the Doc said so.
Here is a hermit crab we caught in our crab net while crabbing(not fishing) for blue crabs. We did let him go back into the ocean.
Hopefully fishing will improve and we'll have more pictures to share. Stay tuned...
So for now from the coastal bend..blessins' on yer head, and ya'll come back now ya hear!!!
Love ya'll U/P

Besides this being another Back Door for "Gun Control", how about a super highway... ENJOY
We're hearing more and more about the possibility of combining the US, Canada, and Mexico into a new entity similar to the European Union. A key part of this "North American Union" (aka "North American Community") would expand NAFTA to include a court system that would have supremacy over all US law (even the Supreme Court!) in "...any matter related to the trilateral political and economic integration" of the three countries. (1)
Details on this North American "superstate" are sketchy at best. Requests for information submitted through the Freedom of Information Act have been stonewalled according to the online news 'zine WorldNetDaily. (2) But its existence is more than a black-helicopter conspiracy theory: a super highway system is already in the advanced planning stages. (3) Nearly a quarter-mile wide, it will run through the heart of the U.S. from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas, to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minnesota. With the Supreme Court rulings that your house can be "eminent-domained" for nearly any reason (including replacing it with a Dairy Queen), this monstronsity will undoubtedly displace thousands of American families, maybe even yours.
This is an obvious first step toward global government, but it is also a back door for more "gun control." Two of the three nations are very much against civilian ownership of firearms; it's not unreasonable to expect that laws regarding firearm ownership would be expanded to better "consolidate" and "standardize" regulations within the three countries.
Not possible, you say? Really? In a recent discussion between U.S. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer at AU Washington College of Law, Justice Breyer -- defending the citation of foreign court cases in US court decisions -- stated, "[F]or years people all over the world have cited the Supreme Court, why don't we cite them occasionally?" (4)
In other words, let's see what a judge in Zimbabwe ... or Germany ... or the UK ... thinks about firearms, free speech, state surveillance, or torture. And if we like it, we'll use it to "interpret" the US Constitution.
The implications are chilling.
The NAU plan is just a plan at the moment. As of this time, the three countries have settled on a "Security and Prosperity Partnership"(5) that promotes inter-agency cooperation for such areas as public health, intellectual property, and the like. But make no mistake: the NAU is coming soon ... and your right to bear arms is certainly on their list.
Don't forget that this new North American superstate is going to need a police force to take your guns. And who better qualified -- and better motivated -- than the BATFE? Visit www.thegangmovie.com for more information on this organization, and our efforts to abolish it BEFORE they become even more Draconian and too powerful to stop.

We are only a few days away from the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 catastrophe. In the film there are many things and events that are looked into. Things that the 9/11 omission commission should have, wouldn't or didn't investigate. Am I suggesting a cover up or conspiracy, no I'm not, but there are too many things in question. In 2000 where was Osama welcomed and treated for medical problems? Where were hundreds of billions of dollars in gold bullion stored for countries and companies worldwide? And only a few hundred million 'recovered' in the basement of a building adjacent to the towers, in 'clean' unmarked abruptly abandoned trucks? What plane that supposedly crashed in Penn. was listed as landing in Ohio along with it's sister plane? Can a fire that is not continuously fed by fuel reach the temperature of the thousands of degrees it takes to turn steel columns into a red hot mass soft enough to collapse? If something is 30ft wide, 65ft tall, with a 110+ ft of wings, each wing carrying a 6 ton engine, what size hole should it leave if it hits a building? If you would like to see another point of view about 9/11 visit this site.

Politics Simplified: Explained in Simple "Two-Cow" Terms
Socialism: You have two cows. You keep one, but must give the other to your
neighbor.
Communism: You have two cows. The government takes both and provides you
with milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both and sells you the
milk.
Bureaucracy: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one,
milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain.
Dictatorship: You have two cows. The government takes both, then shoots you.
Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
Democracy: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that you
must sell them both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one
cow, which was a gift from your own government.
Corporate (including large Educational Institutions!): You have two cows.
You lay one off, force the other to produce the milk of four cows, then act
surprised when it drops dead.

OK, fellow Bloggers and Bloggettes You are a hard bunch to entice so here you have a new one from me! Don't worry, be happy!
I found this interesting tidbit tacked to the wall of my Dr's. office. Its kind of like wheres the beef except who's keeping the money.(I think its going to stadiums maybe)
TAX ON PATIENTS
There is a 1.5%(1) tax on health care services delivered in MN. This is a requirement of a 1992 law passed by the MN legislature.
The MinnesotaCare tax increases your health care costs and the cost of your insurance premiums.
You may not see the tax on your clinic bills or insurance statements---often as a result of contractual agreements betwee your health plan and your doctor or hospital. However:
+ the tax may be include as part of your bill.
+ the cost of the tax is passed onto you directly or indirectly
in higher care costs even though it may not be itemized on your bill.
+ Higher costs decrease patient access to care & individual &
family access to insurance.
Mn is the only state that taxes the full extent of health care services. Since 1993, over $900 million has been collected. Between 1993 & 1998, $622.2 million was collected, however, only $250.6 million was spent on health care services for MinnesotaCare patients. In fact, collections were nearly 2 1/2 times the cost of care.(2)
(1)-- rate is a temporary 1/2% reduction due to a surplus of revenue.
(2)-- Stats taken fron Distribution, Utilization, & Impact of the MinnesotaCare Provider Tax, a report published by the Citizens Council on Health Care, Jan. 2000

In case you missed the Presidents address on the bird flu, here is his plan of attack!!
Top Ten Features Of President Bush's Bird Flu Pandemic Plan
10. Hang "Mission Accomplished" sign in every Kentucky Fried Chicken
9. Torture some Perdue employees until they talk
8. Scare birds away with giant radioactive kitties
7. Be on the lookout for any bird which looks "fluey"
6. Build wall along border so birds can't walk in from Mexico
5. Never leave the house, avoid human contact -- like Letterman
4. Tax cuts for the rich
3. C'mon, it's a Bush plan -- you actually think there's ten items?
2. If you see a bird, run like you're being chased by a tiger
1. Hang on until 2009 when it becomes Hillary's headache
BUT SERIOUSLY...
Bird pest --just what is it and how do we get it? Apparently is has been around for decades. Just in the last few years have world health groups labeled it Bird Flu. How have 10s' of millions of birds gotten it but migratory birds(who you would think would have some encounter with the sick birds) haven't seem to be getting it. Bird flu pops up in China, dies down, pops up in Turkey or Greece, disappears, then pops up in South Korea. Why hasen't it 'popped' up in the U.S.(that we know about yet)? See what this scientist has to say about this. click HERE for BIRD PEST
Here's one question and answer from the scientist....
Q. THEN THOSE 100 MILLION hens which appear to have died from bird flu in reality have died from stress or and/or from nourishment deficiency and poisoning?
A. No! If one hen lies fewer eggs or gets a blue crest and that hen is tested H5N1-positive too, then all the other hens are gassed. That is how there got to be those 100 million apparently H5N1-killed hens.
If you look at this more closely, then you see behind it a several-decades-long strategy: In the West, the big enterprises are cleaning up on this, because those animals that died “from the contagious disease” are being compensated for at the expense of the general public, at the highest market price, while in Asia and everywhere where poultry are being farmed successfully, the poultry market there is being destroyed maliciously and on purpose under the leadership of the UN organization FAO [United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization]
All big Western poultry farming enterprises, therefore, are keeping their mouths shut and by means of their veterinaries are seeing to it that, if the market price for poultry sinks, they get an infectious disease diagnosed, so that they can get their animals sold at a higher price than would be possible with normal farming, “taken care of” at the governmentally guaranteed maximum price, and all the animals in one single batch too.
To bring it to the common denominator: It’s modern subvention scamming combined with paralyzing scaremongering, which as a secondary effect guarantees that nobody asks for proof. Sound intreging? Go Here for more.

If anyone has heard the news, or especially if you haven't, you will know that the MN Republican party finished its convention Saturday night. I wasn't able to attend nor was I invited. So I leave everyone with points that were most likely left off the planks of the platform. You had Mark Kennedy going as close to joining the independent party by claiming he's the best bi-partisan in D.C. and can turn things around(personally, I'd like to ask him what he's been doing during the time he's ALREADY been there). Our current Governor Tim Pawlenty, touting not increasing taxes(though he won a MN supreme court ruling for .75 a pk cigarette tax(oh, uh he calls it a fee, sorry)) and stadium funding tax.
Also, being a fair fellow, I'm letting you all know that the MN democratic party's convention is next weekend...
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ------
Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:
1. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
2. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
3. The United States should get out of the United Nations; our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
5. Jesus loves you and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies ("that's old Europe") then expect their cooperation and money.
9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
10. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
11. A President lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A President lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution,
which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
13. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business, nor are Dick Cheney's task
force discussions with energy industry our business either.
14. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime unless you're a
conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for
your recovery.
15. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the 1980s is irrelevant.
PS; pick your favorites. Mine are currently #'s 2 and 5.

CAPITOL NEWS FLASH dot dash ditty dot dot ditty dash........
Just in last night from NBC network, our Prez was heard saying, & I quote, "If you don't like what we tell you to believe in, we'll kill you." I couldn't catch the rest, I was to stunned!! For those of you who remember I think its time to duck & cover. I'm going to the shelter now, I hope my communicator can make it through the 3 ft of concrete and 11 in. of lead to all of you in the outside world.

I've just about had it up to 'here' with our Minnesota stadium menage a trois debacle!! At, according to WCCO.com reports, it'll only run one and-a-half billion bucks to you and me.
that's 1,500,000,000.00 dollars! $1,500,000,000.00!
Why would I call it a debacle? I should call it "pulling the wool over tax payers eyes by the billionaires boys club" Billionaires can afford a team, why can't they build their own stadium? I'll tell you. Down to nearly the last owner, building their own stadium is a losing investment for them. They know this. That's why they prefer the government, which is you and I the tax payers get the privilege to pay for the building. Oh they'll make claims that there'll be way more jobs and great for the community. Well sure if you are in construction or own a bar, restaurant, hotel, motel, you get the idea. Oh and that they might leave MN if they don't get it. They've been saying...Threatening that for 10 years now. (WCCO reality check, Star/Trib)
During the last several weeks on the evening news on any channel you have heard about stadium building. First the Twins, I'll give them a nod for being up front about it. They came to the legislature and said, "we want a new stadium and its only going to cost you 530 million dollars. It'll seat 45,000 not the 65,000 the dome holds, you see, we can't make enough money with 65,000 seats." (run that by again.. You'll make more with 20,000 LESS seats?) Again the owners like to infer that they'll leave with their teams. I'm at a point to call their bluff. Our congress members have even voted for the first time to NOT put it up as an up or down referendum vote for us the taxed, to be taxed more. But as one congressman put it, they're the Minnesota Twins, not the Hennepin county Twins!! I'm agreeing! Let ALL of MN get taxed as Hennepin county has since 1977.
Second the Vikings, they are being a bit more sneaky. The owner is dangling a billion dollar development investment carrot called the Northern Lights. But not a penny of that will be spent until AFTER a stadium has been built for them. They only want 280 million from the lucky county we build it in, and another 115 million from the state. You feel the wool being pulled over your eyes yet?!?!
1. Don't forget that the dome is the only stadium that hosted the super bowl, a world series and the final four. With 65,000 seats it had to creatively rearrange bunches of the seats for more to QUALIFY to be in the running.
2. We're still paying the dome tax even though it(the dome)was finished early and under budget. The tax was supposed to be 'retired', but really, how many taxes have truly 'died' once they're on the books?
My favorite is the Gophers. They have about 3 thousand acres(also known as UMore Park, possibly polluted since WWII ammunition was made there. Other than that it's tax exempt)of state land in Dakota county. Which they, and this is arguable, call theirs. Here is the sneaky part, they will 'give'it to the state after we the tax payers give the University just under 10 million dollars a year for the next 25 years. Then the state taxpayers will reown 3000 acres of timber, scrub & swamp land, which has to be kept that way. Again no value return resource for us tax payers. The rest of the stadium money will come from gate fees and taxes and student contributions (curious, isn't a contribution voluntary?). Without the land deal, the student contribution would stay at 50.00 per student per semester. The land deal brings it down to 25.00. The radical runaway regents thought this one up. A clever bunch don't you think!! Anyone feel the wool? And you just thought they all were tired of just playing at a perfectly good dome!!
that's 1,500,000,000.00 dollars! $1,500,000,000.00!
Why would I call it a debacle? I should call it "pulling the wool over tax payers eyes by the billionaires boys club" Billionaires can afford a team, why can't they build their own stadium? I'll tell you. Down to nearly the last owner, building their own stadium is a losing investment for them. They know this. That's why they prefer the government, which is you and I the tax payers get the privilege to pay for the building. Oh they'll make claims that there'll be way more jobs and great for the community. Well sure if you are in construction or own a bar, restaurant, hotel, motel, you get the idea. Oh and that they might leave MN if they don't get it. They've been saying...Threatening that for 10 years now. (WCCO reality check, Star/Trib)
During the last several weeks on the evening news on any channel you have heard about stadium building. First the Twins, I'll give them a nod for being up front about it. They came to the legislature and said, "we want a new stadium and its only going to cost you 530 million dollars. It'll seat 45,000 not the 65,000 the dome holds, you see, we can't make enough money with 65,000 seats." (run that by again.. You'll make more with 20,000 LESS seats?)

I thought this was much more current & important being as its from our #1 elected head.

Dick Cheney's top 10 excuses for shooting fellow hunter Harry Whittington
Now I've never been peppered by any kind of shot, but anything coming out of the business end of a shotgun, even birdshot is going over 1500fps. I'm glad Harry only had a small heart attack from one of the pellets.
I gleaned this from Bob G's blog. Who wishes at this time to stay as far away as possible from under the feds 'looking glass'. So I agreed. Hey, can you blame him? For some reason he thinks his writings and telephone calls are monitored by them! Such paranoia. Doesn't he know that that would be illegal for a pres, and congress to authorize a blanket surveillance over an entire nation?! Each to their own demons I guess.
So enjoy the 10 top excuses.....
10. Sick and tired of Whittington's "Hey, I'm having a heart attack" jokes.
9. Pushed over edge by Dixie Chicks and Streisand blasting on pick-up truck stereo. 8. Ongoing dispute over whether it's acceptable to torture quail before shooting them.
7. Thought he saw Scooter Libby on other side of tree line.
6. Bombed out of his gourd on Wild Turkey and Lone Star Beer.
5. Companion's ill-advised decision to wear Moveon.org sweatshirt.
4. Was trying to impress Jodie Foster.
3. Whittington's repeated ribbing that Bush is actually the "real president".
2. Targeting scope on rifle made by Halliburton. And the number one excuse given by Dick Cheney for almost blowing away hunting companion Harry Whittington...
1. Because he's a wartime vice president, damn it
OK, well that was fun wasn't it kids!?
What isn't the least bit humorous is this 'new' idea our leader wants to hand over the charge of major shipping operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia to a Dubai government organization. In my humble opinion, there comes a time to get off your knees and stop bowing to the corporate masters. Granted, in all fairness, the Pres was born, bred and raised in that believe world. Maybe he can't think outside that box. And he, if anyone knows how hard it is to quit some addictions. For that I give him kudos and my prayers.
But some have also noted that some of the Sept. 11 hijackers used the United Arab Emirates as an operational and financial base. In addition, some critics contend the UAE was an important transfer point for shipments of smuggled nuclear components sent to Iran, North Korea and Libya by a Pakistani scientist. I shell leave you to ponder this more on your own as there's a plethora of media reporting out there concerning this hot topic. I don't have a lot of answers but have way more questions, so good night and goodluck(always did like that phrase).

Happy New Year everyone!! After a night of frivolities one decides to post.I thought since we were enjoying our winter, I would post some pictures a hairy friend of mine sent me of his winter. First he said you have to relax, take 1 day at a time.
If you have resolutions or not he reminded me to do some exercising everyday,or when the mood strikes you.
Everyday you should give at least one person a hug.
And sometimes you just have to accept the unexpected, and go with the flow. (damn penguins won't even let you enjoy a good hangover!!) Or drop your pants and slideeeee on the iceeeee.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and once again I wish everyone peace, happiness, health, warm feet, good eating, good friends.
Peter
