Bush fesses up

Our nearly departed President Bush gave his final press conference for us Americans but the oddity of it was the time of day that he chose 9:15 A.M. EST most Americans are either at work or school at that hour, aren’t they?
Oh no, that’s right not the 2.5M who have recently become unemployed that's right they could tune in. That is of course if they still have a home to sit in to watch a TV that hasn’t been repossessed.

And of course, all of us disabled or senior bunch we’re home glued to the tube for his final departure answers to the media Q & A, since medicine, food or gas is our question as those prices sneak back up.
He did come clean on a few points of contention with us mere mortals; he did admit that he did have a few regrets, declaring a win in Iraq on that aircraft carrier was a wee bit premature.

But he seemed to backslide with an unrealistic memory of what actually transpired after Hurricane Katrina when asked how it was handled, ah memories; horrors of our entire minds eye of the multitudes, but no not his.
Not to be disrespectful, but why hasn’t he realized that he is NOT GOD, and humans make mistakes, just admit it you're heading towards retirement not into another political job to destroy another state or country, so sorry that was slightly disrespectful. See apologizing is good for the soul.

Anyway, my hubby started on the tub surround in my bathroom today. With the help from one of the multitudes of happy to see the Bush-man go an unemployed professional sheet-rocker, our dear sweet neighbor. Fortunately, he has a sideline; he’s an artistic woodcarver, not that many can afford excellent workmanship in this economy.

Our older other neighbor that was hospitalized appears to be stable, we contacted the hospital and from their gift shop we sent up a little gift to let him know we were thinking of him, since we are both still too viral to expose a sickly person.
I had forgotten that all hospitals have gift shops, and it is much more cost effective to call them and not pay delivery charges, most will do the sale over the phone.
Not to put the Teleflora or other big-gees out of business, but when you are trying to economize and on a fixed budget saving here and there doesn’t hurt.

I am getting pretty good at remembering the names of most of our water foul, but for some reason as I age my spelling has gotten pretty bad, but sadly when I was a third grader I used to get 100% on all of those spelling tests!
The only reason I mention this is because our neighbor across the canal called to let me know that we had a strange looking bird sitting on our dock.
I had to open the shade because that side faces the south and we are quite warm with them open, anyway I immediately recognized the interloper as an Anhinga, but for some reason I had forgotten how to spell it and so when I went to look it up to send my neighbor the information with a picture it took me a while, but finally I succeeded and sent the email.
You see it’s these little things in life that makes one feel helpful and useful.

On that note let me bid you good night and to all be a little bit helpful if not more than that.

Which way will the war go?
