Yellow Ribbons

Is it just me or do I not feel to patriotic these last three years? What's up with these damn yellow and red, white & blue ribbons on all the cars? I saw them at home and also here. Yuck. It all just ticks me off. It's like the USA flags people bought after 9/11. Bush just wants you to consume and buy buy buy. Instill fear into us so we consume and spend. This is one band wagon I will not jump on.

Been off line for a few days and had 300 emails. D&M's trip is going well. Somewhere making lemonade in Kenya or something along those lines. Spent the day in a store doing something fun that I will tell you after I tell everyone else.

Saw the leaves changing this weekend. Took a long drive and tried to stay awake. Saw our cousin who gave us a bottle of wine her boyfriend made called "Panty Dropper"... it's like 20% alcohol and will be opened at the end of April, 2005. Saw Uncle M and Aunt S, too. Good times. Grammy and Grandpap are doing well, but as I said, no one is a spring chicken. Damn I need to go do laundry for my drive across the state.
