Of Elections and accidents and rental cars......

-
So Bush won the election; Thank God!!! I can't believe the arrogance of the anti-Bush crowd. Now, well over 1/2 of the country voted W back into office and these folks think everyone who voted for him is an idiot. Never mind the fact that Kerry never articulated anything; that he tried to push himself off as one of "us" when he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never held a real job in his life (4 months in Vietnam doesn't count); that he spent the entire campaign bashing Bush and telling us he had "a plan" but never sharing the plan. So all of his "supporters" (though they weren't really supporting him only voting against Bush) now think the folks who voted for him are idiots and haven't been paying attention. So the Dems cry that Bush is dividing the country yet they are the ones calling over 1/2 the country stupid. So who is really dividing the country??? All the Dems do is scream gloom and doom yet the Republicans are the ones slinging mud??? Go figure!!!

Okay, the election is over and done with and whether they like it or not it's Bush for 4 more.

So yesterday, the day after the election, I'm driving to work and get into an accident. I rear-ended the car in front of me and they hit the car in front of them. I did $4,000 worth of damage to my car and the other 2 pick-up trucks got minor fender damage. What a way to start the day. Then, if that's not bad enough, I go to rent a car after work and for some reason they won't rent to me. They rented to Charlie; but for me they get a message saying don't rent to this person. WTF????? What is up with that?? Yesterday was just a horrible day and I'm glad it's over.

Today was a decent day. I didn't exercise this morning (just didn't feel like getting out of bed) and I'm not exercising tonight. Tomorrow morning I start in again full force. It's right back to it. At least my eating was on track today.

So enough of all the garbage, tomorrow is a new day and it's back on track......

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
