Greyhounds Needing Homes

I got this information from one of my Facebook/blog friends. If you or anyone you know is in a position to help, please do so. Also, feel free to pass this on.

Dairyland Greyhound Racetrack in Kenosha, Wisconsin will be closing on December 31, 2009. 900 Greyhounds need to be adopted or they will be euthanized. Please help me get the word out; there is only 6 weeks to get this task done. Contact Joanne Kehoe Operations Director P: 312.559.0887 Or Dairyland Race Track Adoption Center direct at (262) 612-8256

Questions

I try to keep it positive on this blog but the men in Congress carrying on about abortion are pissing me off. I have some questions I'd like to hear them and any other men who think they should have a say regarding this issue answer.

Have you ever had a one night stand?

Have you ever convinced a woman to have sex with you and then never called her again?

Have you had sex with a woman without it ever crossing your mind that she might become the mother of your child?

Have you had sex with a woman with whom you would never want to have children?

Do you know a mother who has had to take the father of her child to court to get child support?

Are you capable of carrying a child in your body and going through all of the discomfort of pregnancy and childbirth?

Are you naive enough to think that making abortion will stop it from happening? Have you ever heard of back alleys and clothes hangers?

As long as you can have sex without thinking about any of these things, how can you think that decisions regarding pregnancy and its management are not yours to make?

First Snow of the Year

We had a tiny bit of snow last week but it was really wet and didn't stick. It did leave quite a bit of snow on the mountains. Last night's snow decorated cars, rooftops, trees, and these flowers next to a wall in my neighborhood.






















Soundtrack for this post: Townes Van Zant's Snowing on Raton because is really has and we are all hoping for a good ski season.

Not Quite as Good as I Thought

It seems that the bill that passed the House which would expand the range of the mustangs and make the BLM free the thousands that they have in holding pens has not made it to the Senate and it may not ever. We need to contact out senators NOW. One of the senators from Wyoming strongly opposes the bill and will do her best not to pass. THE HORSES MAY BE KILLED unless the senate takes action. The Senate will only take action if we let them know that we want them to do so. Please take a look at this site and take whatever action you feel is right for you.

No soundtrack for this one. It just makes me sick.

Great News!!!

The House has passed bill 239-185 which expands the range of wild horses by millions of acres and stops a plan by the BLM to kill thousands of them now held in holding pens. It appears that they will be set free. I have been following this story for a long time and I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I hope that the BLM will get the message and change some of its other policies.

Help Repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell

If you are interested in this issue, you can go here and sign a letter from Lt. Dan Choi to Speaker Nancy Pelosi asking her to help do away with this ridiculous piece of bureaucratic BS.
