Working hard

Been a long week.  My dad and uncle finished the floor on my apartment and we finished rearranging the furniture and now there are only a few more projects until I will be ready for Charity to more in.  Also if marriage plans are not enough stress, I have to write a 16-20 page paper by March 1. So I will update again after life is simplier.

Liberal pinheads

The Jeep is running and thankfully since it is over 30 years old I don't have to get it inspected. 

Today, I was forced to wake up early, drive to High Point, and listen to a guest speaker.  Though annoying that I had to get up, the speaker was good and raised interesting points about materialism, ironically after a speaker had announced the 100 million dollar construction project at High Point University.

Then we had lunch, which I really have no complaint about, but lunch was followed by a panel discussion with 4 liberal pinheads.  The discussion was about Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, but quickly turned into an anti-American, Bush Bash.  See according to them, we need to be understanding of terrorist, and it is our fault that the World Trade centers were attacked.  In fact, if we would walk in their shoes for a while we would see that it is really all our fault, especially the Southern Baptist.  Another group that the group of flaming liberal Methodist enjoyed attacking on a regular basis.  I almost got up and left, but resisted in hopes that I could maybe ask a question.  After two or three other stupid questions designed to allow the speakers to bash Bush, America, and being Patriotic.  I got called on to ask a question.  Though it was probably not the best question ever it was the best question I could get away with:  What should the world do with people like Iran's president who said that he wants to eliminate the Jews.  

The Panels answer was maddening, outrageous, and stupid.  The general consensus was that I was simple minded and that the world would just pass laws to outlaw such activity.  Unfortunately they took the mic from me.  After my question it just ended and I left, so that I would not choke the members of the panel to death and see if they were understanding of my point of view.

Jeep

Well due to the bail of hay wrecking the green thunderbird.  My dad and I began working on the Jeep today.  It is running and we washed it up so it looks good.  Soon we will clean up the inside, and then we need brakes and tags.  Looking forward to having my jeep back. 

Patten's Pipes had a official business meeting.  It was short but we decided on another shipment and going to the pipe show in April.
