    Hi Xanga:  On Tuesday, my local electric Co-Op had their annual meeting and I attended. It was good, we got free dinner and the business meeting was as usual.
    I was hoping to win a door prize ... but my luck wasn't there. They had a couple of 100 dollar credit vouchers for ones electric bill ... boy wouldn't that have helped.
    But such is life. A few days back I paid 300 bucks for my monthly bill.  With money being like it is, I am trying to save every penny. One thing that will hurt financially is taxes. Since my wife sold her farm, and has no money left due to all the debt she ran up, I will likely get stuck with the bill. I would not mind so much, but I never charged a dime on any of those credit cards :(  Again, such is life, my life anyway.

    Went to church today with wife, I ran the PowerPoint and did ok. Hard to follow with those slides some times. Heading to work tomorrow, and off on Tuesday. Am planning to head to Salisbury for annual Co-Op meeting, it should be fun. They always have booths, free stuff and a business meeting.  Will get to eat free, at least. Weather here is warm today, near 80 I think.
       Still wondering what changes will occur now that my workplace has new owners, of course that will happen over time.

    Well, I was just looking back at my last entry. My candidate has left the race and now we have Mr. Romney.  I may be wrong, and many times am, but I foresee a victory my Mr. Obama in November. Thus moving us in more of the same direction as a nation. Many of you feel his changes will be good, maybe they will? I guess only time will tell.

    One thing I notice on Youtube comments is the massive level of obscenity when discussing politics.  I feel that agreeably disagreeing is much more productive than using that kind of language.

    We have been off for Easter, and it was nice.  Cross Walk on Good Friday was great, I even read at our church which was neat. Got up and went to sunrise service on Sunday, cold but great.

    Our plant is now owned by Dart Corp. and I am wondering what will happen.  Will I still have a job in 2013?  No matter what, the Lord will look out for us as he always has.

  • Hello Xanga .. 2012 is here. I guess I have been in suspended animation for a few months and not writing. OK, well now I am back and Xanga everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief ... ROFL.
     
    I guess the big thing right now is the Presidential primary race, I would love to see Santorum  get nominated, anyone but Romney. That gut is so east coast establishment that he makes me sick.

    Well ... headed to dentist today (ugh!).  Ok, I'm not a very good flosser, so I expect some bad news.  Oh well, my own fault I suppose.  Right now I'm watching movie 1984 (John Hurt, Richard Burton), great film with so many accurate predictions about the future.  Thought police, Big Brother ... all here, just in a more sublime form.

    Then again most people I talk to think that it's a good thing, I guess they figure they're not doing anything wrong, so they have nothing to worry about.  I feel sorry for the ones who get caught in wrong place at wrong time .. if you know what I mean.
