AZ Governor Responds to Criticism

Very Well Said! I wish she Governed California…

The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, opposes AZ’s new immigration laws. Arizona ‘s Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following statement in response to Sarver’s criticism of the new law:

“What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn’t be ejected.

Furthermore, what if Suns’ ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?”
– Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer

I dare you to try going to any other country without your ID.

Macho BBQs

These photos are taken from one of those Power Point slide shows passed along via email.

Apparently, there are men out there who do not have enough on their “Honey-Do” list.

The Biggest BBQ — I would have my husband cook a LOT more!

If only I had this BBQ. I would have my hubby, Bruce, do ALL the cooking.

Hot Rod BBQ — Looks hard to cook on to me

This makes me wonder what kind of car this guy owns. And if this BBQ cooks faster than the other ones.

Tail Gate Party BBQ — A must have tail-gate party accessory

Would you really cook with vehicle exhaust? Maybe. If everyone was drinking large quantities of beer, you may get away with this.

I am sure this is Bruce’s favorite, although he really loves the next one…

This BBQ is really a killer. Don’t mess with the cook.

NRA BBQ — Every member of the NRA needs one!

Which is my personal favorite?

I thought you would NEVER ask! This cute piggy was in the lead:

Until I saw this one!

What a good way to recycle those old potties lying around in the yard, heh?

Until tomorrow…..

Let’s Do It!

I am joining the Word Press Challenge. To Post Every Day in 2011.

Every day???

I decided I would join the Post a Week option. I knew I could do that. I have been doing that fairly regularly since August. I LOVE my little blog that nobody knows about. Except for a very select group of readers (mostly relatives) who pop in now and then, my blog is an undiscovered territory in the vast universe known as the Internet. Yeah, I know. Call a WHAAAmbulance.

I really wanted to join the Post a Day people, but I was terrified. I do not work well under pressure. Sometimes my muse goes off on vacation and I am left here alone with my laptop, a cup of coffee, and no coherent (or even interesting) thoughts coming to my head. Yet – I feel like writing. Why? I don’t know. I wish I didn’t. I wish I could pass by the stationary section in Ross without buying an empty journal or two. Blank pages bother me. I’ve got to write something on them. It could turn out to be drivel, but it’s the writing I must do.

As I read about how to sign up and participate, the Others (more about them in a different blog), started giving me crap. And they were right in doing so. I started my blog because I wanted to get into a habit of writing everyday, like the published authors say they do. I am an undisciplined writer. I want to write when I feel like writing, and I will not become an author that way.

So… I am sucking it up and making the commitment to post daily. Even if I can’t edit each post to perfection, I will post Something. Every Day.
