Misc. Stuff

The birds leave tomorrow. As much as I like them and enjoy having them, Fluffy's problems weigh on me and I feel so bad for him. It really brings me down. So I'm ready for them to go home. Also, 5 birds is a ton of work. It takes me a good 45 minutes to get everyone feed, watered, cages cleaned, etc. It's a lot of work. Then they all want some attention. Yeah, I'm done.

I took off yesterday and it looks like today is another off day. It's really overcast and kind of dreary and it's making me a little down. I think between the weather and the birds I'm just off.

I've started another blog. Yes, another one. I get pretty political on this one sometimes and I've decided to start a political/opinion blog. I've added it to my sidebar and you can read it at The Ones Who Get Screwed. I've gone into some more detail on the English court ruling on Al Gore's pack of lies if you're interested. I'm still kind of developing it so postings aren't everyday, I'm working on that though.

That's it for now. I've got to clean some cages and figure out what I'm going to do the rest of the day.

Hah, very funny title for a politics blog. I guess that many people feel that way when it comes to politics.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll be visiting that political site. I hate to get totally political on my "tri" blog, but sometimes I get SO frustrated with the way the whole world is going. Thanks for starting this.

Man don't get me started....you are SO right!
Hey, your boss Wendy is doing really well at IM kona today! Whoo-hoo!
And I never thanked you for saying that you would talk to her about me trying to get through Maui Xterra. So thanks! (A bunch late!)
It has just been pretty depressing and a crummy eye-opener that I am not of that caliber...maybe if I screw my head on a little better and clamp down I will get there someday!
We are still coming to Hawaii- Two days in Honolulu and then Four at the Princeville resort in Kauai...leaving the 24th! Can't wait!

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.
