Campaigning

A few weeks ago, while I was practicing the bagpipes I received a telephone call. It turned out to be a guy named Larry Faulk, who was running for state senate in our district, and asked me if I was interested in campaigning for him. I decided, that since we haven't had a Republican in the state senate from our district in twenty years, it wouldn't hurt to support this guy. Not being in the nicest neighborhoods, I was a little hesitant about door-belling though. Mom and I went out the first time, and after a couple of houses I got used to it, and it wasn't too bad. For the most part it was uneventful. The second time Dad took Sarah, Jonathan, Me, and Esther, and was more like what I had expected. We passed a house that was boarded up by the city, a few wild dogs, and Democrats! Sarah got the majority of the democrats, who told her they "only vote for democrats."A few days later Dad, Sarah, and I went out and finished passing out the brochures that we had left over. We went to one house that had an Obama and union worker bumper stickers. Sarah decided she wanted to deal with these people, so went and rang the door bell. A lady came to the door, and when she learned that the guy we were campaigning for was running for the state senate she told Sarah very rudely, " I'm not interested,"and then closed the door. As we were walking away she yelled after us and said, "The Republicans have sure made a fine mess of our government." We asked a friend of ours about this lady, who lives a couple of doors down from where this lady lived. It turned out that the lady was a friend of our current senator. Yesterday, Jonathan and I went door belling with Larry Faulk in our neighbor hood. That was pretty fun!! Larry Faulk also told me that if he wins, I will go to Olympia with him as his page. So, If any of you are in the 27th district please vote for Larry Faulk, and send me to Olympia!!! I will go down there and shake things up, along with Dino Rossi and Larry!!While McCain and Palin will shake up Washington D.C!!

Jonathan Has Been Tagged

I am supposed to share 6 random things about myself. Here are the rules: Link to the person who tagged you, list the rules, write six random things about yourself, tag six or so people by leaving comments on their blogs and let the person who tagged you know that you've written the post. This will be great! Now for some random things.....


To tell everyone the truth, in my neighborhood tagging is illegal.

Anyway... On with the randomness.

1. On occasion, I refer to myself in my mind as a SPEND. SPEND stands for Self Proclaimed, Eccentric, Nerd. I add the D so the acronym sounds cool.

2. I've lived in America all my life.

3. I am not technologically Savvy.

4. I prefer dressing in the 1930's-40's style but have been forced to modernize.

5. I don't shower every day.

6. I only have 24 teeth in my mouth.

I am supposed to tag 6 more people, but I say, why limit? Whoever reads this and has a blog, should tag all their friends.*

I hope you learned something new about me!




* If you have already done the whole tag thing, you are exempt from having to do it again.

In response to the immense outpouring of my ardently devoted followers, I have fulfilled their wishes by posting. Thank you for your continued support of this blog. It is encouragement from people like you who keep this blog running. Stand with me and fight against dumb blogs. Stand with me my friends, stand up and fight with me !!!!

Stay tuned for more insanity -- ahem -- I mean more posts.

No, no, stop the insanity!!!!!!! I can't take it anymore.

Fencing Anyone?

David and I had the priviledge of building a fence. It took us about four days to complete, not including clearing and grading. We could've had it done sooner but David measured wrong and we discovered that our (I mean his) holes were off line and too far apart!!!! Because I was doing my Algebra, I wasn't able to follow up on his measurements. As a result, we had to pull the posts and re-dig which meant we lost an entire day of work.

David, straightening his crooked posts

On our second day of work the posts were secured in their correct positions. You can bet that we were extra careful in our measuring, digging and cementing.

Carefully measuring the corner post

Yours truly doing what he does best--mixing cement

Securing the posts so they will dry in the correct position

This picture doesn't need a caption, it speaks for itself. Look at how the shovel lays in the wheelbarrow and how the greenery all around acts as a frame. Notice how everything looks drab until David's pants gives it this look of life and activity.

If you have observed, Sarah always seem to take a stab at me with every post she makes. I have decided to do the same with this blog. Although, I will be using pictures of David. Here is the first.

After a full day of work I decided I should take a break and actually break a sweat

A Firefight in Iraq

I know this is another video, but this is really cool. Our soldiers are doing a superb job keeping us safe. I can't wait to join!!
