Preparedness is a good thing. Even if the worst doesn’t happen you’ll be in good shape for garden-variety disasters such as earthquakes and pandemics. Just don’t buy anything with a short shelf life.
The US Navy used to have a communications base there; I lived there with my family from 78-81. Terrific small town living and “bonzer” diving. Still keep in touch with my Aussie friends.
There was never a “glass ceiling” holding women down, at least not from most voters’ viewpoint. Rather, it was just necessary for the passage of time for enough women to enter politics and for one to emerge with the character and stature worth supporting for national office.
I donated right after the Saddleback appearance, emailing McCain with the promise: “There’s more coming if you pick a truly Conservative running mate”. Last night I made only the second political donation of my life.
I don’t care for many of McCain’s positions. I FReeped him at his “Sedona ranch”(ten minutes from my house) when Daschle spent a weekend. But the next time he returns (hopefully with Sarah) I will be there to beFRiend him!
Obama is a shifty, left-wing baby killer. Pali is a solidly-churched, pro-life Conservative.
I called my sister-in-law today; she was born and raised in Alaska and attends Assembly of God churches. I asked her if it’s true Palin attends AG churches. Yes, it’s true ... and the two of them correspond because they’re related by marriage! Small world!
