March 8th 2008              Oops...haven't blogged for a while.  Been busy with stuff.  Besides, all it has done is snow out here...BRING ON THIS MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Went to the El Paso County Republican Convention yesterday ( I am a Delegate).  Lots of local stuff going on...not much competition in this county..the Republicans outnumber the Dems by 3-1.  Not much enthusiasm for McCain(he seems to be a lib in disguise)...looks like he will get beat by Obama this fall.  Can't wait for all the "free" stuff to come my way after Obama is elected, and for all of us to "feel" good!        A pic of the Republican gathering.
