Wisdom

Amen and Amen!  What about the word RESPONSIBILITY does the government not understand?   1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! 5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

US/Canada Travels for August 15, 2011

US/Canada Travels for August 15, 2011

Minnesota – Wisconsin – Michigan –Indiana - Ohio

Minnesota, the state of 10,000 lakes, multiply that by 1000 and you
have the number of biting Horse flies and mosquitoes. And to add
insult to the already hot summer, the weather bureau has declared this
Minnesota summer as the most humid of any recorded.

Camp Ripley located mid state, a National Guard Faculty, that dates
back to the US Civil war (1840's). Farming is the major product in the
area especially hybrid corn.
And there is a Wal-Mart 5 miles away to keep everyone happy. Spent
going in all directions Geocaching with fine weather to match.

Left Camp Ripley and headed east into Wisconsin, the land of cheese,
big busty women, and cows that walk backwards. The first night was
spent in a vacant spot in the Chequamegon National Forest where the
chipmunks provided the local entertainment. Next day was touring
Madeline Island, Lake Superior, Geocaching, and staying away from as
many tourist as possible. Exploring the island was relative easy as
there are only 2 roads and enough dirt roads to make it fairly
interesting. There are 2 campsites on island but you best plan on
making reservations 6 months out if you plan on staying there over the
summer months.

Getting back off island and heading for another National Forest
campsite for the night was in the plans. Unfortunately the campsite
was shutdown for repairs but finding a way around the barricade was a
no brainier and the price was right.

Next morning it's over the border into Michigan following Route 28
through the Ottawa National Forest heading to Big Bay Point
Lighthouse. The GPS had me take a turn that got me into a maze of dirt
roads that even the GPS could not understand where we were. As long as
I continued heading northeast I was bound to hit either Lake Superior
or civilization. The township of Big Bay it was and another Geocache
under the belt. Thinking that I would find a dirt road off the shore
of the lake I continued heading north. I next came across a road block
and 2 gentlemen that made very clear to me that I was not going any
further and I best turn around. Being that I was in a very agreeable
mood, I hastily turned around and headed south.

The night was spent just north of Marquette before I continued east on
Route 28 through Hiawatha National Forest then south on 123 crossing
the Mackinac Bridge.
We are now on Route 75 to Grayling where I pull into Camp Grayling
National Guard base for the next 5 days. Geocaching for the next 4
days is on the menu is all directions. Price of petrol is $3.77 per
gallon where 15 miles away its 3.52 per, you figure except for ripping
off the locals and the price of food is just as bad.

In the process of scientific studies I have found out, especially in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, that if you expose your lower anatomy,
especially men, in the wilds to take a long drop every deer/Horse fly
and mosquito from miles around will present themselves to your
backside. Here you are holding onto the tree with your right hand, TP
in your left and you are suffering the bites of Mother Nature's
gudgeons of the forest.

We leave Camp Grayling and head east to spend the day with friends met
this past year at Padre Island as volunteers. Besides having the
heavies' rain of the year, lighting, thunder, and 40 mph winds, it was
just another wonderful day in Michigan.

Next morning its south to Colon, Michigan, the truck camper
manufacturer, for repairs the following day. The campsite for the
night is called Lucky Lucy Lake Camp Ground, right! Anyhow the people
at Palomino Camper Office were quick on the repairs and I was out of
the door by 0930 hrs.

South it was on Route 66 through Indiana, the worst was getting around
Fort Wayne. I must of hit it just right for construction, detours, and
non-functioning traffic lights and just stuck in traffic period.
Finally I was south of the city crossing the state line into Ohio and
a stop at Wright Patterson Air Force Base at their RV site.

Next month has me into Pennsylvania spending my time at a particular
organic farm, slave labor, cleaning 5000 lbs of onions for a new
additive for cleaning Porta Potties.

Stay safe, clean your coffee cup, put the TP in a reachable place and
have a nice day.

Aloha

Blue Fridays Are Coming

-

>;

WILL YOU WEAR BLUE???  International Picture of the Year.  Here are two very touching photos honored this year.  First Place :  First Place  Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News  When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno   Airport , Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac.  During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at   Denver  International   Airport , Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful: 'See the people in the windows? They sat right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home,' he said 'They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should.'  Second Place  Second Place  Todd Heisler The  Rocky  Mountain News  The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. 'I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,' she said. 'I think that's what he would have wanted'.     And the one that really tightens MY throat:       PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING!  Blue Fridays.  Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.  Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of   America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the   United States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the   USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is .'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.  IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.  IF YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON. BET YOU DON'T!     Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:  1.  Jesus Chris t  2.  The American G. I.   One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.        YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,        AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.
