Economic Armageddon Made Simple. This says it very well. Don't say we didn't see it coming and that I didn't warn you.

Julie is always messing with me.

And that is partly what I love about her! This was her commentary on my sticky note to myself about some pictures I was missing... Haha

Andy has made "the battle of the century"

I pray I can accomplish this

Living my life so that it lives up to what I say I believe. Then those around me will seek ti emulate it. A better approach than saying one thing, yet doing another...

I'm happy with my sighting in.

A comparison of .40 handgun rounds vs. a slug gun

Ouch!

850 miles and we made it home.

Ricky can't wait to see everybody and neither can I!

Heading home. :)

Gee, I turn my back for 3 seconds!?

Johnny says, "he's a raccoon, what do you expect?!". I say, that's no excuse! ;)

Ricky stops to smell the "roses"

Not bad for a camera-phone.

Ricky is happy to have a place to sleep for the night.

Now for a little Bible reading.

Ricky enjoys an afternoon coffee with me

Pretty...

Not too bad considering the way I drive my turbo.

I'll keep the $7,000 price difference, not have to drive a Prius, and still come out ahead. Thank you very much.

We're sittin' on the front porch watching and listening to the morning arrive.

Well, at least one of us is.

We made it to 5:00. I'm the last man standing.

I think I'm losing another one…

Andy's helping me break down boxes

At 4:00 in the morning.

Well one of them finally gave up...

Pretzel legs

I don't know how Andy sits like that?!

False alarm, he's still up. Andy is still going strong too!

I think Johnny is about to give up...

The only fishing trip where we'll eat the bait!

A worm is sacrificing his life.

We went fishing with our gummy worms and caught Swedish Fish!

We're having a pirate theme slumber party.

Fish, fish, salt & worms. A Cart full of tummy ache if you ask me! Haha

This little guy came for a visit today...



 ...He's a Mantid Fly. Known as a Faux Mantid.  I tried to get a few pictures of him.  He's about 3/4 of an inch long.  I think his eyes are cool...

When you don't have a net...

On my car this morning. Cool Mantid

He earned it! Took three days. :)

Hope for Ohio?

The Ohio Project is a grassroots effort of Ohio citizens to bring a proposed state constitutional amendment to Ohio's November 2011 ballot in order to preserve the freedom of Ohioans to individually choose their health care and health insurance. Click here to learn more...
Click here to read about how the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled that (now former) Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner abused her power in an attempt to block us from achieving ballot access.

Minimum Goal Passed, Next Goal: 400,000

State goalsJune 22, 2011.  On June 20th, the petition containing signature number 385,245 for the Health Care Freedom Amendment was turned in for cataloging at our central location.  (For a full explanation of how many signatures are needed in order to make up for invalid signatures and to have a comfortable safety margin to ensure placement in the November 8, 2011 general election, see our FAQ) Today, two days later, we are just about 10,000 signatures away from passing over 400,000 signatures collected by volunteers.  We believe that this is unprecedented in the history of Ohio.
We've also had two counties cross significant milestones milestones so far this week.
Paulding county is the ninth county to have acquired signatures from one out of every four active voters in the county.  Over 1,800 signatures have come from Paulding county voters.
Preble county is the 31st county to have surpassed the 15% mark and brought home over 2,200 signatures.
Below is a current table of the counties that are about 250 signatures from their next milestone and in very close proximity to their next checkmark on the Regional Map.  Notice that a number of counties have arrived within striking distance of their next milestone.
Several counties have been updated on this list, so make sure to check to see if your county is one of them.
