First Day and Our New president...

Yes, President Obama has frozen senior White House staff employees salaries!
He also placed calls to Mideast leaders and had aides circulate a draft executive order that would close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay within a year. All this tells me he is a man of his word, and that makes me smile, I voted right.

My husband had a hectic day he went to the home store to bring home parts of a better mouse trap, so to speak, to protect our pond from one majestic Great Blue Heron, an eating machine who has his mind set on our pond fish as his personal fish market.
I was in charge of securing the pond while he made his way doing our errands he also was scheduled to pick up a few items from the grocery, but I interrupted that when his new retiree badge, a replacement for his heated destroyed one, came from the Sherriff’s Office where he had been a deputy for all those years.
I called to tell him it finally came; he had requested his new badge well before Christmas and guess what?
His name was correct, even his signature on the back was too, but the picture was that of a man considerably heavier with a moustache and not him at all, ever. Annoying, and he asked me to call about it for him while he continued on his planned day and said sure I would.
Well, the phone number on the note enclosed was incorrect too, and I found myself calling my husband back again, aren’t cell phones great? Anyway, he suggested looking on the email he had received from the person in charge of this procedure and who had written the note enclosed with the wrong picture badge, and I realized the note was only one digit off with that corrected I proceeded to call and rectify the problem.
My hubby would have to go in I was told and get a new photo, the system had been changed in the two years since his retirement, and the badges were better now for the retirees and he should come in and take care of it, so I got the contact persons name so that he could call ahead, but she had a doctors appointment so the initial person that I contacted a computer person would be able to do it, wow! By 1:15 P.M. today my husband received his new retiree badge, and then he moved on to continue the grocery errands, what a mixed up day he had. He happily completed all his tasks by days end and now, tonight we will both relax and enjoy three hours of the return series of, Lost.

So good night to all and to all I got to run, because they are closing down at 4 P.M. PST, which for me is 7 P.M. EST for maintenance, and it’s 6:54 P.M.
