You go girl!!!



I got up at 4:30am to see Sarah Palins big speech. She showed the world that she could not be underestimated! It was great!!! I think it was the best political speech I've ever seen. I think Obama had better be worried. He broke the very first law of American politics. In America, all politics are local. He played to the whole world but belittled people in small towns in America. Now the election is going to be won or lost based upon the votes of people living in the blue collar towns of Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia. His comments like they cling to their religion and guns are going to really hurt him! Sarah Palin is "one of them"!!! I don't think McCain chose this women to go after Hillary’s women, I think she was chosen to appeal first to the Republican base, and then to help win the votes of those normal folks in the small towns of America. She was brilliant!!! I was especially moved when she spoke directly to families with special needs children. She said if John McCain wins the election, they would have a friend and advocate in the White House.

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 can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. 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
