Vilora Virginia Berglund

Too many emotions to say what I want to say. I can't say I loved you, but I cared alot, and I do love your son. He has a job ahead of him, and I know he is more than capable of doing it. I am here for him if he needs me, but I will take the more quiet side and let him do that job. He know he loves his family and they love him.

Virginia, you raised a tough son, that has learned how to love.

Rest in Peace.

Cathy's Rave

Just a couple of pet peeves.

1.---Idahodians: Those who were born and raised in Idaho. (this name was made up by Richard)

2.---Idahoans: Those who were brought here as kids and grew up here, or moved here for the lifestyle and like Idaho just as it is.

3.---Idafornians: Those who moved here from another (unnamed) state because they liked the quiet, laid back lifestyle, but complain because it isn't like "home".

4.---Calahos: Those who moved here because they liked the quiet, laid back lifestyle, then immediately want to change everything because it isn't like where they moved from and they want to "fix" us and the state, calling us backward hicks and the likes.

The other 3 names were supplied by a clerk at the Stinker Station in town. But we thought they were extremely apropriate, given the way people act and things they say.

You can tell a true Idahodian or Idahoan by the way they procounce the city of Boise. This has an "S" in it, not a "Z". Our town of Letha is pronounced with a long "E" sound. NOTICE TO ALL WHO LIVE IN IDAHO!!! SAY THE NAMES RIGHT!!!

Thank you for reading my rave.

Next---Learning how to drive in Idaho weather. Hint--TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON IN THE SNOW AND FOG!!

I have found out that my two cents ain't worth shit so I'm going for a nickel, we'll see what happens after that. Trying to work backwards from a quarter, making change and still have a dime left. I was going to talk about golden Parachutes but that's just so much hot air( pun). Damn, it snowed this morning, or last night, anyway there's snow on the ground and in the trees and on the cars, covers up the dog crap. I am taking a break from playing poker too many assholes that think they know how to play. So this is good practice for my typing and spelling, When I figure out what I want to say, using the right words is a bitch, and then spelling. Sure would like to go back to the Eighth grade and start over, not just for the education, but to rechase all the girls again. I would have keep my 57 Chevy wagon and never bought another car. There was plenty of room for a mattress, it just needed some window tint and a pillow. It seems like I have always had a Motorcycle of some kind since I was 10 or 12, love to ride. I only got to ride twice this last summer, my back was not up to it, but I have fixed that and I am looking forward to summer and a long riding season. My first ride was a Allstate Moped 50 cc's and 35 MPH top speed. Man that's nose bleed fast. Dad was working for Gene Atkinson at the time out at the gravel plant by the Letha bridge, and he forgot his lunch one day so Mom had me run his lunch out. So I strapped it to the back and left. 35 MPH what fun, the bugs don't hurt very bad at that speed, who needs goggles?Anyway when I got there , Dad opened his lunch and found that the lid on the thermos had worked loose and soaked his sandwich, he didn't know who to be mad at me or mom, but he ate it any way. He gave mom hell when he got home that night, I left, shit rolls down hill as always. I will try to remember all the Motorcycles that I have had, the years and some of the rides , and what happened to them. And then I will do the same for all the cars that I have had. This is a memory stretching exercise. Until later must go jog the brain.

MY two cents worth

I follow the news about jobs, or the lack of, and the wreck our economy is in. It just burns my ass that Congress will not do anything worth a damn about fixing things. Businesses in this country should be owned by Americans and no one else. If you are not American get your ass out. Go home, stay there!! Put a stop to outsourcing jobs. Any company that moved their manufacturing outside the USA should have their assets frozen and their citizenship revoked. If they try to get back in the country, they should be subject to a public hanging. I hate buying cheap ass crap "Made in China". I have a become a label reader and if I have any other choice, I won't buy anything made in China and I think all loyal Americans should do the same thing. I'm a red blooded American, patriot, and a veteran. I don't think lawyers should be allowed to run for Congress, there should be stronger term limits, and I think Congress needs a 50% pay cut. I think lobbying should be illegal and all laws passed by Congress should not be overloaded by special interest considerations. And while I'm on the subject, I think the IRS needs an audit. I really don't like it that our money has no value, it's just a promissory note. Our money needs to be backed by gold, silver or platinum. This all I'm going to write about tonight, it's getting close to bed time. Tomorrows subject will be about my thoughts on "Golden Parachutes".
Yes, these are my words, I spoke them, Cathy typed them.
