My Way News - Bush Taking More Time to Craft Iraq PlanPresident Bush worked nearly three hours at his Texas ranch on Thursday to design a new U.S. policy in Iraq, then emerged to say that he and his advisers need more time to craft the plan he'll announce in the new year.It first made me laugh, but it's really just sad. He has no idea what to do. Half of the three hours was probably spent talking

Jasper and I went out to the Big Dam Bridge on Sunday. It was cool and the wind was really whipping. There were lots of people out regardless of the weather. We parked near the 430 bridge and walked the rest of the way. I didn't realize until I started up the incline on the LR side just how long the bridge was. There were dogs everywhere it seemed, and Jasper pulled me most of the way over the

It's been so long. No excuse really. I took Jasper to the vet on Monday for his regular shots. I was told he is in excellent health but that he is a little overweight. So Jasper is now on a diet. I had put him on weight control food several weeks ago, but I think I was feeding him too much. Now he's getting a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening.

It came a toad strangler last night, which is a good thing, but this is the third morning now where I've been ready to go for a jog only to be dissuaded by rain and lightning. I wish the weather would show up in the afternoons and not in the morning. The thunder woke me up at least fifteen times last night. I guess I can't complain. We need some rain to make float trip go smoothly next week.

It's bascially not happening, and if it does get mentioned at all in schools, it's watered down as a whim of atheists. Local religious fundies are putting pressure on their schools to omit the teaching, and violators, who are only following the law, are turned in by

I got slammed with blogspam today. I had over 65 comments from cleaning companys for every single state. Obviously, some more than twice. I've changed my comment box so that you have to type in a word for verification. Not that I've been posting anything lately worth commenting about. Anyway....

I have not been up to much lately. Work is the only thing I really do anymore. I went home this last weekend and did a bunch of nothing. Made a few trips to Wal-Mart; the only thing to do in Russvegas.Did anyone see Coretta Scott King's funeral yesterday? I was at work, but I saw highlights of it on CNN last night. Didn't the Bushies look out of place? I'm glad they showed up and made comments,

The Aussie Open has started already. I thought it was going to be later this month. Hingis is making her return to professional tennis. Hopefully I will get to see her play before someone beats her. I guess I'll need to start taking my lunchbreak from 1 to 2 in the afternoons so that I can catch some of it.

Could it be true? Is rain on the way? The news is saying we have a 70% chance for tomorrow. That's great news. Fires are popping up all over Arkansas. Four homes burned yesterday in Ashley County.But with the rain will come problems. Tomorrow's morning commute could be rough because drivers may have forgotten what a wet roadway is like. Look out for accidents.

I have to be honest. I haven't kept up with the bond issue that is being voted on today. It's something about roads and schools and taking away our right to vote to fund those things in the future. I know Huckabee is really really in favor of the bonds. That's usually a sign that it's a bad idea. I'm not registered to vote in this county yet, so it doesn't really matter what I think.

Well, the weather didn't turn out to be too impressive. It started with the flurries and rain last night early. Then stopped altogether for a while. I woke up around 1:30, and the snow was coming down at a pretty good pace. Later, I heard sleet mixed with rain. I got up at around 6:05 this morning, the frozen rain/rain mix was still coming down. The snow had turned into a slush mixed with sleet.

I stopped by the grocery store tonight and bought him a fancy can of food. It had pieces of steak with rice. I mixed it with his regular food, and he gorged. Now he's curled up next to me on the couch struggling to stay awake. Such a good dog.

As I left the grocery store, there was a mixture of rain and sleet falling. A girl ran out of the store and said, "It is! It is! It's raining. It's gunna snow! Whattawe gunna do?"

What did you all think of Lost last night? So was the horse supposed to be Kate's guardian angel or was it her dad reincarnate? I didn't understand that part. And was Sawyer possessed with her dad's spirit when he tried to choke her? Is Walt talking through the computer? Why did we have to go through that bible story in order for Echo to hand over the other film? And it wasn't even that important

I'm thinking about getting a new laptop. I've heard Toshibas are really good. Does anyone have an opinion on a brand or where I might get a good deal?

t r u t h o u t - Maureen Dowd | The Autumn of the Patriarchy Doesn't Dick Cheney remind you of the Penguin from Batman 2? I wonder just how close to accurate Dowd's article actually is.

It's cold this morning. I've been turning my heat all the way down when I go to bed, and I turn my ceiling fan on in the bedroom. I like for it to be really cold when I sleep. But it makes getting up out of that warm bed into the cold surroundings all that much harder in the mornings. After the morning walk, Jasper usually curls up right against me on the couch while I check my e-mail and watch

Is anyone watching the finale? Gosh, those people look so different. I can't imagine losing over 100 pounds. That's a whole other person. I hope they can keep it off. I'm pulling for the blonde girl although I think Seth may win.

Arkansas News Bureau Vic Harville's cartoon is good today. Bush didn't even have an exit strategy of how to get out of that press conference last week. You know, when he pulled on the doors and neither would open. Anyway.

Say it ain't so. ArkaValley Liquor was destroyed tonight. Thank goodness it was a Sunday and no employees were there. Now Russvegas is down to a single liquor store if Blackwell Liquor is still standing. It was a little more sturdy, but they are so close together that I have to think it suffered damage. If it went unscathed, Blackwell Liquor will have great profits until ArkaValley is rebuilt.

I'm getting ready to head back to the Rock after a few days in Russvegas. I ate way too much, but that's what you're supposed to do on Thanksgiving. More when I get back.

I stopped by my dad's house Sunday on my way back to LR. They have a new lab pup named Buddy. I tried to take some pics, but he was not very cooperative. He's gonna be big. His feet are huge. He is at the clumsy stage, and Jasper was not that interested in him because he couldn't keep up. I don't know that Jasper has ever met a dog that can keep up with him.

Did anyone watch The Office last night? It was really funny. Probably the second funniest show on t.v. behind Reno 911. Dwight Schrute reminds me so much of Jerry. Besides the looks, their personalities are a lot alike as well. Dwight dressed up like a Star Wars character for Halloween, and he was trying to get Michael to watch Battlestar Gallactica. Jerry tried to do the same thing to me. If I
