Snippets of potpourri and horrors of the financial kind

Well, sometimes no news is good news? I’m seriously waiting on that one.
The deal fell through again, but when broken down we now know who is really not for us little guys; and that his name just so happens to rhyme with pain. Get back to work guys and gals, we need you to help the majority of the populace not just those upper 5% wealthy ones.

The market was not at all happy with or without this outcome, and made sure we were all aware by plunging 778+ unhappy points! It started to go down when it thought they voted for it, but went up when they didn’t and then again finally spiraling to its all time bottom.
Perhaps, a shocker, but not for everyone.
This seems to be par for our course since we are on a second generational round of it's the ECONOMY STUPID life and times in America brought to you ridiculously by Bush 2. We are counting those 36 days until real reform.

On the more ludicrous and somewhat weird side: Plastic surgeons must be having a difficult time too financially since we heard a local commercial just this morning about offering free laser hair removal with breast augmentation. I suspect the concept is to prevent that awful hairy chest syndrome that can come with all surgeries of this type?

I picked up walking again this morning, although it appears to be marginally going up in degrees daily at my 7:30 A.M. self imposed scheduled walk time, today it was 72, Saturday it had been 70, and Friday it was 67.
Fall has not truly arrived here I suspect, deductive reasoning again.
It does amaze me though how I do not mentally chronicle when it actually arrives each year, but I suppose it’s because it is never the same, in all these twenty-two years of living here.
This proves nearly everything in life is unpredictable, but weather is the most understandable.
We can only hope that people will be more so predictable; at least our voted upon officials.
There is something to be said for tried and true, but we Americans need a positive in that realm; somebody who is really out for our welfare not just theirs.
Life is a crap shoot someone once said, probably a line in a movie, but truer words were never spoken.

On the sentimental lighter side, a quote from the Hollywood legend Paul Newman, and all of us women can only hope that our mates will say something as loving and dear about us when asked about going astray, “Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?”
So eloquently said; the man was more than a handsome face he had depth, love, humor and philanthropy all through those bones.

On that note let me say good night to all.
