Happy Monday, people.  I hope your weekend was good, and the September 11th observations didn't get you down.

Things were quiet here around the ranch, just taking a nice day to decompress and enjoy the family.  God, there's so much to do before the cold weather comes, and it's just starting to register with me.  I have some home repairs that I've been putting off, just because it's been so damn hot, and now that it's pretty mild, I actually have a shot at getting them done.  I'm not the handiest guy around, but I know a few things, and I purchased some tools...and there's nothing more dangerous than a guy who knows a little about home maintenance and owns tools.  If I'm lucky, I'll just lose a finger or something.  I'll let you know if that happens.

The price of gas dropped four cents.  I suppose I should be happy, but I'm really not.  One of the cool cats on one of the comedian online message boards posted a nifty photo from a gas station on their price board.  We've all seen variations of this, but I thought this one was original enough to pass along...I hope you like it. 

Michael Brown from FEMA quit.  Barn door, horses, etc.  I wonder what his next job will be.  Hopefully, they'll actually look at his resume first.  I hope he does something with horses.  Horses are easy to handle, and if something bad happens, you just shoot them.  I think Brownie can do a good job with that, too.

O.K., enough out of me.  I have to go to the post office, and I owe myself a haircut.  Have a nice day!
