Nothing like 12 hours sleep...
I fell into bed at 10 last night. I was dead to the world until 10 this morning. The good news is, I feel mostly better today. However, I think a BRAT diet is in order.
At the moment, I'm walkin' to Kmart with my boys to get a present for Grampy. Andy managed to find 3 dandelions so he insisted I wear them as a "badge". Haha. I love them.

Johnny loves his presents
He's spending every spare second (here, the few between being ready for bed and actual heading to bed) working on his various building projects. He's concentrating on his Heli from Grammy and Grampy Barton at the moment. Andy is "helping".

Mouse!?
Andy uses his mouse left handed and 90 degrees rotated. That's takes brilliance... Notice the picture in the background?

Ok, now for some controversy...
This is an important point for all of you to grasp!
How much does a job cost?! How much is a job worth?! I'll let you do the math... Bottom line, a LOT, if you go by these numbers!
Consider Dayton (45402) for a second. Over $97 Million in "stimulus". There were 167,000 people in Dayton according to the 2000 census results... For those of you without a calculator, that's $580,000 PER PERSON, given to Dayton!
Just because I don't want this to be lost on you... The government in it's infinite wisdom has paid the Dayton area $513,000 PER JOB created/saved using the chart attached!
Number of "households" in the US: 105 Million according to the 200 census. The "Bailouts" pledged so far: $11.6 Trillion and counting... That's almost $110,000 each household will pay, JUST for the bailouts!
Data sources:

One last way to look at it... There are 1 million people in the Dayton area. The unemployment rate is around 11.5%. That's 115,000. That means all the stimulus we've received so far has helped 1 out of every 185 unemployed (or in danger thereof) people.
Maybe they should just give us back the hundred thousand dollars they "rightfully stole" and see how much the economy gets stimulated!!!! And they call US "money grubbing".
Come on, if you can't see the problem here... Well, give me your freedom, please, because you don't need it anymore!

Now THAT makes it worth the drive! One of my favorite combos, and at a decent price. Hopefully, it measures up!?

Cool view after a long day.
I left the house at 5am. Finished work at 4:30pm. Spent 8 or more of those hours in the car.
