Another word on the Writer’s Strike. Last night was the People’s Choice Awards. No, I did not watch. But, I read something that got me to thinking. And, yes, got me a bit mad. The WGA and SGA decided to boycott the awards. I heard, but cannot say for sure, that there is another award show that both will let their members attend. Now, maybe I don’t have this right, but there wouldn’t be any award shows without us, the fans? The PCA is voted on by fans. Now, why would they boycott this award show? I feel like it is a slap in the face.

I heard on the news last night that a man in the Mobile area threw his four small children off of a bridge. They were 3, 2, 1 and 4 months old. There is no way they survived.  How can a person do that? To any child, let alone his own? How sad that those children will never experience life.

New Hampshire’s primary is over. Hilary and McCain won. I have always like McCain. But, honestly, feel he is too old. My personal opinion. I think Hilary would be good, too, but are we ready for a woman president? or a black president? And, how would you feel if you were elected based solely on your race or gender? I hope America will vote what is in their hearts. Vote for a person you can support and who has views similar to your own.

Monday, I signed paperwork to have my house strengthened against hurricanes. It is a program with funds from FEMA and Florida. Things included are increasing the number of straps holding the roof to the walls, waterproofing the seams in the attic, increasing support for attic, putting up shutters and increasing strength of entrance doors an garage doors. They say work should start in 4-6 weeks. Cost to me? nothing! All should bring the house up to withstand hurricane force winds of a Cat 3. Ivan was a Cat 3 and it stood up pretty good, minus some shingles. Hopefully, we won’t have to find out soon how much the house can take!

That’s it for today. Hope you have a great day!
