Deer Hunting with Jesus

A good buddy of mine took on the task of writing a book and he called me up the other evening and asked if he could come over, that he had something to give me. He showed up at my door with a six pack and an autographed copy of his newly published book entitled “Deer Hunting with Jesus” – Dispatches from America’s class war - ”A raging, hilarious, and profane love song to the great American redneck.” by my good friend himself – Joe Bageant.

We spent a pleasant evening drinking his beer, talking about his book and rehashing the good old days until 1:30 that morning. It was reall good seeing my old friend and am so  tickled that he took the time to come over to hand deliver his book that I can’t wait to start reading.

Christmas Is Fast Approaching

Seems that the family is up in arms over the up and coming Christmas holidays that are fast approaching us. Faster than I can to think. These pats few years have really taken it’s toll on everyone, there isn’t a single soul that I know that hasn’t been struggling, struggling hard due to the economy in such turmoil, and the news isn’t all that promising that things will change any time soon.

You see the family has been wanting to check into some travel books  and online sites that will assist with planning a family get a way during the long holiday breaks that most of us get to enjoy. The kids in the family have really been looking forward to spending time with relatives that they don’t get to see very often. They have all been pushing to go some where that they can enjoy all of the numerous winter sports that are available these days. The big one is snowmobiling and snow boarding, which has become so popular the people much younger than me, I can tell you that.

The older folks in the family are all about going somewhere nice and warm to get as far away as they can from the harsh winter weather that we always experience during those winter months. As they say “you can’t please everyone” but if no one can afford this family event it doesn’t look like any of us will be going anywhere any time soon, sigh….

Page Rankings – Interesting

I learned something today that I can’t believe I had no previous knowledge about, the subject of Google’s page ranking has caught my interest so I started asking questions and was told to go to the web-site of populararticles.com/tools where I found the following interesting information that I would like to share in today’s posting.

“Google PageRank is Google’s way of assessing the relative quality of a Web site or Web page on the Internet. PageRank is measured on a scale of 0 to 10. The stronger the PageRank of a given Web page, the higher the corresponding score on the scale. My Google PageRank allows Webmasters to view their site’s PageRank online. In addition, Webmasters can use the provided code from the My Google Page Rank tool to display their site’s PageRank to their visitors. ”

You can go to this web-site as described above and type in the browser address of the site in question and it will tell you with just one click of your mouse button and it also gives instructions on how to install this feature on your Google toolbar for faster and easier usage.

This is information that I’m glad I found out about and it answers a lot of questions that had been going unexplained and unanswered for some time now.

I Do Not Like This Uncle Sam – Dr. Seuss 2011

I saw this on Facebook today, yes I’m on Facebook these days! And since I am a serious Dr. Seuss fan I really enjoyed it enough to post it here.

I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam. I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals. I do not like ex-speaker Nan, I do not like this ‘YES WE CAN’..I do not like this spending spree, I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free. I do not like their smug replies, when I complain about their lies. I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it. nope, nope, nope. I fear Obama may be through, but I hate that Bachman and PALIN too!
