and the winner is...

Well America, how does it feel to have a socialist President-elect!?

I'm sad because I hate to see our 1st and 2nd amendment rights take such a hit. I hate to see God taken so far out of government, because that is NOT what our founding fathers want, and it’s not what He wants! But I know that God is in control and he knows what’s going to happen. I'm thrilled to see how far America has come. Regardless of political views, it's amazing that our country has come so far in the last 50 years.

I think that, in our society of reality TV shows, that we need to have a new qualification for our Presidents. They need to be able to go on “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader” and “Moment of Truth” and PASS. If they can do both of those things, they can be President. If not, try again in 4 years. It would sure rule out the stupid people (I’m sorry, 57 states in America? FDR was president during the Great Depression? There was a TV then? When did this happen!?), and it would force our politicians to be honest with us!



Now, on a lighter note.

Jason got pulled over... AGAIN! We drove to Bridgeport, NE yesterday afternoon. While on the way we passed a police officer. Jason was pretty worried about getting pulled over, so he drove 5mph BELOW the speed limit! About 3 minutes later, two patrol cars came FLYING up behind us and Jason just knew he was getting ticketed for SOMETHING. They passed us and pulled into a trailer park about 2 miles down the road. Nothing big, right?

So about 10 miles later we passed another officer, and again, Jason was driving slowly and carefully. The officer pulled out behind us, lights on, and Jason pulled over. Apparently in all the wind (and its VERY windy here!) one of our tail lights fell off, leaving a white light in the back, violating the law. No ticket issued... but I'm still laughing at him! He's been pulled over in EVERY state we've visited together! That makes 9 times in the last 2 years. He's not a crazy driver, but I guess there's something about tall redheads that screams "Suspicious!" :)

And on an even lighter note….

Must get going... need to find some Christmas cards!

Nebraska Politics

I just love Nebraska Politics. I heard an ad on the radio today that had me laughing pretty hard. The man speaking was obviously the man running. He said this: "I'm John Smith and I approve this message. Because I wrote it." I thought I was going to wet myself... it's about time somebody did that!! Who would have thought that politicians should write their own speeches, much less record their own radio ads!

Please remember to pray for our Nation today as we elect a new president. And please remember that if you don't vote, you have no room to complain about our Nation's leaders. And if you do vote and still don't like the way our Nation is being run, then do something about it in 4 years when it comes time to either reelect or elect a new leader!

Have a great November 4th, all! :)

Monday, Bloody Monday. Or was that Sunday? Whichever...

Sadie and Zeus got out on Halloween. They made it almost 12 miles before a farmer found them playing with his dogs. He locked them in his chicken coop (there were no chickens living there) and called us. Stupid dogs. Both gates are now chained and locked. Ugh. We didn't do anything special on the 31st - just stayed home and watched movies. We watched one on George Washington and another on Mt. Rushmore. They were both good. We also watched one on massage techniques - it wasn't exactly what the title and discrition claimed it would be... hah. Should have seen that one coming!

They moved the calves on Saturday. When we took the dogs for a walk on Sunday morning, the cows came running to the fence mooing at Sadie and Zeus. We're pretty sure the momma cows thought we had their calves. I'm not sure when I last saw a 50 pound calf play fetch... but whatever works for the momma cows. They moved the rest of them today. It will be nice not to hear anymore moos.

We visited the Methodist Church on Sunday. Neither of us had been to one before. They have some of the nicest people I've ever met, but we both left feeling "hungry." I think we're going to try the AOG church or the E-Free church next Sunday. I'm a little disapointed that there are no non-denominational churchs here, but I'm sure we will find a nice fit.

Jason's family sent us a very nice card today. His sister drew photos for each of us. I think that one photo is of me and one is of Jason, but she put Jason's name on the photo of me and my name on the photo of Jason. I got a nice long giggle out of it. Jason is wearing a superman shirt in his. I have green eyeshadow in mine. I love kids :)
