I'm so glad the 2016 Olympics is going to Brazil! Sorry Obama...no you can not! Now maybe he will think about doing his job. Do you know that trip cost America 1.5 million dollars? He spends 15 hours flying to Europe to ask for the Olympics, but has only talked to his top general one time in 7 months. He has time to be on Letterman, but no time to manage the war? What was he thinking? I know he has a very hard job, but he gives the perception that he cares more about being on TV then being in the board room doing the "hard" work of his office. I think he better get out of the "spot light" and get some stuff done. Really, he really does have a hard job. I hope for America and the world that he stays home, opens his ears to wisdom and sticks to a short list of only the most important things. He tries to do too much. Rio is a very beautiful city, I’m glad they won!

I'm glad Rio got it as well. I felt Brazil should have it because they never had it before. Leo my son in law was really excited about it.
I was glad that the Olympic committee wasn't influenced by the US so called big influencers. I think they are indispensable. After all the Olympic's is a world wide event not an American event.

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
