Some Funny Pics

A friends sent me some of these funny pics. Thought I would share......enjoy

Polling

Well, it is official. I am an employee of the United States Government. Well at least I was until about 12 hours ago. Last night our youth got to go and work the polls at a polling drop off for 4 hours. People that ran polling places all day brought their ballots to us and we loaded them on a truck for delivery. IT WAS COLD!!!! We were out there till 11 and by the time it rolled around, I could break the ice sickles off of my chin. (Not really but it was cold). We were sworn in, and started work. I had a really hard job, I had to wave a flashlight and tell cars when to move and stop. It was really hard holding a donut in one hand and a flashlight in the other telling cars when to stop and go. I felt like a cal-trans worker. You know, one of those guys you see leaning on a shovel on the side of the road with a burger in one hand and a shovel in the other. (They are of course leaning on it). So I was pretty tired by the time I got done. It was a great night though, because we raised almost 1/2 of our money for youth convention this year. Basically, when a car drove up, we would unload the car of all of the items that they used that day to run polling places. We then would put them in a Semi Trailer on pallets and start on the next car. It got really busy at moments and I had to wave my flashlight really really fast!!!!! Talk about exciting!!!! WHOOOHOOO!! Ok back to reality. I guess we could say that the Governor is paying our way to Youth Convention this year. I don’t think he will have a problem with it though after all, he is loaded. Did you vote yesterday? Here is something funny I found. It cost $160,000,000 to put the gambling (90's) props on the ballots. Did you know we would only gain $10,000,000 per year if these props are passed? It will take 16 years to pay off what they have tried to accomplish here. Now I know why we are kind of in debt. Anyway, here are some pics of last night. Enjoy.

"Quote of The Day"

"Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow." -Lawrence Clark Powell Very cool quote.

Gas prices are going through the roof right now. I guess it isn’t affecting the average American driver though because we are driving as much as ever before. My deep deep profound intellectual thoughts on this are..........we are getting ripped. Anything they can do to squeeze the almighty dollar out of us, they are going to do. I have listened to several talk show hosts, discussions and debates on this and as much as they try to defend the oil futures of this country, there is no possible way that companies can be charging this much because of inflation, rise in oil costs and other exportation charges and not be making a huge profit. Oil companies recorded record profits in the billions last year on annual reports and this year it is also expected to go up 5-7 % times that. It is a free country, and companies can make a profit at their own pace in their own time and gaining as many dollars as they like along the way - but is there a point at which government should step in when it is decreasing the amount of the American dollar? Put yourself in that position. If you were CEO of Shell Oil Company, would you be in favor of the government making you lower your prices in order to appease the American public? We all want to save our money as much as we can, but in reality, they are a business and they can technically rip us off as much as they want to. I don't know, but I think as much closer as we can get to having a efficient energy source that we can draw from here in the US (besides starbucks), the better we are. We will have to wait and see what happens.

My Ipod is broke. It started acting wierd last night. I think it is the battery because every time I will listen to it, it lasts for about 15 minutes and shuts off saying there is no more power available. Last night it froze for like 4 minutes and wouldnt do anything, so it looks like I am going to have to buy a new one. I think I am going to get the 160 gig one since I am almost to full capacity anyway on my present 30 gig. These things are awesome. Apple really went over the top when they invented them. I would love to get the new "touch" screen one, but right now they are way to small in disk space to even come close to what I need, so I think I am going to have to just go with the "old" kind. The only thing that I can think of as their downfall is that it converts your songs into lower grade formats other than an mp3 so that when you play it sometimes it is fuzzy at loud ranges. I am currently at 4,200 songs, which is 15 days of nonstop music. The batteres for these things are just as much as a new one so I think i will break down and just get nicer one. I was reading that Steve Jobs "personal" ipod can hold up to 100,000 songs. I also read that if they were to stop and pick up a $100 bill off of the ground they would actually lose money because their time is so valuable. Maybe they could actually give me a new one. I don't think it would hurt them. Probably unlikely.
