Hi All,

no new links really on the flu, it continues to be spotted around the world... heard a theory today that it might not be ready for humans quite yet, but flu is always evolving so over the next 6 to 12 months, watch this thing.

Sad news about the US Auto industry out, Pontiac is out by 2010 and GM will become basically owned by the Government and Unions... I post more on this in the coming days

Tampa Tea party update

Hello all,

Well, I finally got a chance to see a "tea party" in action... overall a very positive thing really, any time people are talking about their country and important issues and not the latest TV show or other "distraction" is a promising thing. Now people need to keep reading, stay informed and stay positive and peaceful we just might get back to a classic freedom our great grand parents would have recognized in 50 years or so. I'll post a vlog later today on this topic on my tube channel.

Haiku for you...

to see a clear sky...

Brings thoughts of times past, present

but what of future?

rain good, storms not so good

Hi all,

Got some much needed rain in the central Florida area today... but the panhandle got way too much rain and continues to flood. The Storm part, not such a fun thing to have, but the rain was nice. Tea parties are tomorrow, as a libertarian thinker, its hard to get my mind around "movements" and "groups" having to march and meet and do things... a single minded independent person really doesn't like things like that, but taxes are just so high and with gen Y unemployment setting at the 20% area and going up everyday and the baby boom generation setting in jobs longer past their 65 retirement age causing a glass ceilings to hit whole generations of Gen Y and Gen Z workers, something has to be said.

I feel that most people still don't understand what's going on with money/jobs and basic laws... but maybe if people just talk to each other and not get their information from uninformed media filters things can turn around.

haiku for you...

to talk, to be seen

is not something easy now

for a quiet man

hard to know what to say about pirate news

Hello all,

Thoughts and prayers for the all the hostages and their family members of the pirates all over the world. History teaches that piracy is a brutal act of terror and those effected by it are scared for life.

Few other "crimes" of terror encompass the sadness associated with piracy and to treat it as anything less than a act or war and rape against a nation and person and their family is truly sad.

Anyone who compares it to a "business opportunity" is sadly lacking the historical knowledge to understand and make opinions on this matter, much less have anything to do with formulation of National naval policy against piracy.

resturant review 1, panda express

Hi,

Found a great restaurant that I've followed in the news as its expanded across the country and is now in the central Florida area, Panda Express. (yes, if it has anything to do with pandas, I try to find out about it)

Basically its a Chinese buffet style place with sit down and drive thru options. Prices are reasonable and portions are good. Food quality and selection is excellent and the food has wonderful flavor and a "not too salty" taste and feel that you can get sometimes with Chinese buffet style food.

great place and I highly recommend giving them a try

late to the show yet again

So the media today thinks we have become numb to tragedy in this country... well Mr and Mrs Media got a news flash for you... you are very late to this story, maybe more than 20 years to late on reporting this one

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30046195/

always have a backup plan

well, a crazy past 48 hours, very little positive to talk on other than some rain yesterday morning... these people need it! and I found a panda express! super great food. Going to go over to a friends place tonight for some conversation, will see about vloging it...

So I'm going to plan b on things, it was really the last choice I had but maybe at the end of the day the only choice when I think about living and following a code... I'll interview next Tuesday... being a spiritual person, living in a Confucian philosophical and Christian way really helps set a path, now will I chose wisely... that remains to be seen...

a haiku for you,

a last blue color

that brings both emotion, thoughts

on a instrument

rain rain go away... south!

It was amazing to see the amount of rain in the panhandle on my driving the other day... but it stopped around Ocala and the farther south I got, the drier it is. I hope these poor saps in TPA and ORL get some rain soon!

a haiku for you...

a little rain cloud

is a sight to see always

for it brings rain, life

take care everyone!
