Okay, okay, I borrowed a quote from CSI: NY. But it fits what I'm thinking. I was reading about some legislation where animal rights activists could be considered terrorists, and that even people who were associated with them could be spied on.
Please don't get me wrong. Ask me to choose between the wildlife refuge and the opportunity for drilling for oil in Alaska and the wildlife refuge stays. But I know several people who are animal rights activists who are not terrorists. They (and I happen to be one of them) don't participate in a sit-in with the intention of killing mass numbers of people. I know there are a few out there, but most of them aren't like that. But the government has labeled them as terrorists or potential terrorists. For the most part, I don't buy that. Most of them aren't out to kill mass numbers of people, they're out to make a statement, which I believe is protected under the right to freedom of speech. Am I correct? Is this some sort of "whacked up mentality"?

Bye bye showerhead
Well I finally got rid of the showerhead. The lady, last time I heard from her, said that it works great so I'm happy that someone got it and was able to use it.
My mpg dropped drastically this week-down from 23 to 18! I checked my tires and they were at 28 psi! So, since I don't have a compressor of my own, I drove over to the nearest gas station and aired them up. I'm trying 36 psi to see what happens. I don't want to underdo it as this causes wear and tear on the tires. But I don't want to overdo it as this increases the chance of injury. So let's see what happens at the next refueling.
Sometime in the coming weeks I am supposed to be going to Branson, Missouri. I can't wait to see those mountains again. Going there is like going home, as many of my kinfolk live in the Ozark Mountains, which we will be going through in order to get there. Right now we do not know exactly when we will be going...and I won't tell you until after we've returned. I want those mountains to be there for years.
