Blackjack

I have recently purchased the new Samsung Blackjack. What a great phone. It truely is a mini computer. I can recieve all my email thru Outlook which is a life saver. Surf the web with true web browser (just smaller). Text and a 1.3mp camera for great looking pictures. You can even stream live music, just like the web. This thing is the mack.

Barbie Bandits

One of the Barbie Bandits. Ms. Heather Johnston claims it was all an inside job. The dental hygienist gone stripper, says it was all a joke. "I mean it's crossed a lot of people's minds, from what I've heard," she said. After the plan was hatched, she and Ms. Ashely Miller slipped on their "Stunner Shades" and began their career as "Bonnie and Bonnie" with the help of "Inside Clyde". Unfortunately, it only lasted 2 days before police arrested the pair and their inside man.

According to Ms. Johnston, while on the run the two got highlights in their hair, ate a big meal, and gave a homeless man some loot. Stripper versions of Robin Hood.

How long till we see this as a made for TV movie..Oh next week! or was that last week?

Bienvenido a Casa!

Welcome home, amigos.

I guess the battle is over. The Illegals have won. President Bush has made a deal with Democrats, that would give over 12 millions illegal immigrants legal status. The bill still must pass the House, but we know who runs that.

I have never seen an issue where, Politicians refuse to listen to their constituents. The (legal) Americans on both sides of the political fence have made clear their opposition to any form of amnesty, but it falls on deaf ears. Republicans want cheap workers and Democrats want voters.

If you can't beat them join them. I better brush up on my Spanish, because once the cloud of legal status is cleared. We will see a more aggressive Latin culture movement.

Here's where you can brush up your Spanish skills.

Hasta luego

Dudley Dooright

Seems Chris Davis has had enough of people running stop signs in his Gainesville neighborhood, and hes ready to do something about it. Armed with his trusty camera, Chris stands guard over his favorite stop sign, to catch villains in the act. If this doesn't work he may be switching to a shotgun.

By the looks of the picture, I think I would run the sign to avoid the drunk standing near the road.

So, beware those that "Roll n Go", there's a new sheriff in town.

Meet "Renato"

Here is one of Gainesvilles finest.

According to Renato, "I beleive That Et's are a socio-cultural phenomena. It is a reality merging into ours and shaping our collective consciousness for a future and coherent contact with life in the universe."

If you would like to meet up with Capt. Kirk and spend sometime looking up, check him out here.

No More Chicken For You

Hmmm, well aren't we lucky. Seems Gainesville, Ga is home to a most sexiest recipient. "Woody" who works for a local mental health hospital (or was that in a mental hospital?); has been chosen as a "Sultry Soy Boy".

"GoVeg.com" holds an annual sexy girl and guy contest for leaf lovers. Gainesvilles own "Woody" made 2006 the list. He contributes to the neighborhood by forcing his place of work to cater to his seed habit. Way to go "Woody", all of Gainesville, is proud.

Watch out all you chicken lovers, there is a new "Soy Boy" in town.

Old Tornado Photos

I found some old Gainesville Photos just after the tornado of 1936. Thought you all might find them interesting. Looks like massive destruction. I am told that there were a total of 203 lives lost and almost 13 million dollars of property damage. This storm ranked 5th in most deadlest tornados in America.

All I can say is wow!

Chained Dogs

On another dog topic. The City Council of Gainesville will likely support a ban on chained dogs, one modeled after the Gwinett County Ordinance enacted back in January. It will outlaw chaining or tying a dog to a solid structure.

Although, I am a dog lover and hate to see any animal abused. I can only wonder what the long term effects this law would have. I like many people hate to see animals chained to short leashes. I do feel that this is a form of neglect. However, I have also seen dogs on long leashes (runs) of up to 50 ft with over 1500 sq ft to roam. That is more square footage then most people's homes. Where would we draw the line and how would this be enforced?

A proposed alternative is pens. In some cases a pen would be an improvement. However, is the City going to pay to have these pens built for low-income families, or just seize the pet? One must ask, "Is a loved and well provided for pet better of tethered, or put to sleep."

A Get Well Wish For "Klyde"

I don't know if you have heard, but "Klyde" a Rottweiler that works as a therapy dog for Northeast Georgia, is sick. "Klyde" has worked at NGHS for close to four years giving comfort and distraction to cancer and hospice patients. As a twist of fate "Klyde" has now been diagnosed with inoperable cancer.

I know the positive effect a dog can have. A loving dog does not care if you are sick, have hair, or only in a nightgown. The unconditional love, is irreplacable. "Klyde" gave that unconditional love to so many in the oncology ward. Bringing happiness and comfort to those most needing.

My prayer goes out to "Klyde". Though his outlook is grim, I wish him peace and comfort.
