My mouth is salivating just thinking about these delectable treats !


An Eye-Opening Statistic

One-third of a QUADRILLION DOLLARS ! That is the current debt of the United States. Perhaps selliing off states is the way to address this incredible debt.


James Kunstler Insight and Wisdom

This observer has an uncanny record of being accurate in his outlooks for the short term and long term. This forecast he makes here is truly unsettling...


Wolf Fatality in Colorado Hundreds of Miles Away from Yellowstone Home

http://www.newwest.net/topic/article/long_wandering_wolf_found_dead/C41/L41/

Sad ending, but it shows wolves cover enormous amounts of territory. "Restricting" them to certain limits is an effort in foolishness and just plain blindness.

Much like Australia, Africa will show the consequences of global warming and climate charge much more harshly and quickly than lands in the Northern Hemisphere. The Africa of 2020 - 25 will be in incredibly bad shape with massive starvation and famines certain.


The Plain Worded Wisdom of Yogi Berra

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/sports/baseball/16yogi.html

One of the many living legends, along with Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, and Ralph Kiner. It is so wonderful to see him still active and a part of the game that has defined his life professionally.


Two Tea Parties: Totally Unrelated and Completely Different

http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/04/15-10

The complete story behind the Boston Tea Party in 1773 and why what happened on WED 15 April was a laughable joke and a right wing PR move. Tea Party in 2009 - HUH.. totally horse manure !

High Speed Rail Corridors News

http://climateprogress.org/2009/04/16/make-no-little-plans-obama-high-speed-rail-plan-oil-green-jobs-lahood/

This is an excellent starting point for high speed rail across much of the US but some additional corridors will be needed: A Rocky Mtn line from El Paso to NW Montana through Billings; a connection from Albuquerque to Dallas-Ft Worth; a line from Portland to Boise to Denver; from the Twin Cities to KC to Tulsa; and from Indianapolis- Louisville to Nashville and Atlanta. 2025 is the ideal completion year.

I hope sometime later this year I win the lottery and can buy a pizza restaurant of my own that I can run and be able to have a decent remainder of my life.
