As a huge Star Wars fan the death of Carrie Fisher is terrible news.

I have ceased the Jericho posts. The last couple only had a few people actually read them. If people have watched through episode 18 they pretty much get the gist of the show already. In retrospect I should have probably stuck with the first 10 or 12 episodes.

The Federal National Debt is fast approaching $20 trillion dollars. Although people are feeling very positive about the next Administration I do not foresee the debt clock going backwards anytime soon – thus the economic implications resulting still await us.

In my younger days I enjoyed riding motorcycles. I owned an 83′ Honda Sabre 750 – although one of my favorite bikes was the Honda Hawk GT650. It was truly ahead of its time with a single-sided swing arm.

    We were pretty sad to see that the Princess has died, as well.

    We were watching Jericho, but fell waaaaay behind. I have been working 3 nightshifts a week, which throws off everything, and pretty much makes me fall asleep anytime I am sitting down, like when we attempt to watch TV.
    It is a good show, and we are looking forward to resuming it in a few weeks.

    Ha!
    Jake looks happy.
    There’s no electronic alarm better than a Jake.
    In our house, Rocky (our black ninja cat) is the first detector.
    Eyes wide open and looking at me–means something is approaching.
    Followed within seconds by Daisy (a Jack Russel/beagle mix) then Lena (a lab/german wirehair mix).

    I always know when someone’s coming.

      Patriot, I also have mixed breeds who are fantastic. My beagle/boxer, all 130 pounds of him, alerts me subtly. A wag of the tail, a huff announces potential visitors. Just don’t step on him or get too close to the food bowl and you can pretty much do as you please. But, at 12 years old, he’s earned the right to sit in the front yard, look up and bark at buzzards. Who knows, they may be competition for food or just maybe looking down at him, they know something he doesn’t.

        My big mix is 12, also. He’s always been great at knowing when we need him, but with his vision fading we now have to help him out sometimes. Last week, he “protected” us from a full garbage bag that the kids put in the wrong place. You would’ve sworn that we were under attack.
