Obama's youngest brother - in a slum in Nairobi



I have very mixed feelings as I watch this video of Obama's brother. He looks like a real intelligent and gracious young man. He does not really know his brother. They only have blood in common. Is Obama obligated to help a brother he does not know? I guess it just does not sit well with me that Obama makes millions of dollars and promises to help the poor and disadvantaged in the USA but does not help his brother. Who knows? Maybe he has offered to help him, and the brother said no? The contrast is so amazing between them.

Obama has met his brother twice. Obama promised to help a poor school named after him in Kenya. Read this interesting article about a woman who is raising money to help that school because Obama won't.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new.

I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
