Saying for the Day
I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teresa

Picture of the Day

We are doomed! Doomed! Doomed!
No matter what we do we are doomed.
How do I know this?
It began when I read the blog of an Obama true believer.
He pointed out that :
McCain and Palen lie extensively just like Hitler.
McCain and Palen use extensive hate speech just like Hitler.
McCain and Palen tend to scapegoat just like Hitler.
McCain and Palen turn crowds into angry mobs just like Hitler.
If we elect McCain it will be like the Germans electing Hitler.
If only some Germans had spoken up the world might have been saved.
When I finished reading that I wanted to speak up. I wanted to take a brick and throw it at McCain.
I was scared.
But there was a chance he wouldn’t be elected.
But then I read the blog of a McCain true believer.
She pointed out that:
Obama sways crowds with the power of his voice just like Hitler.
Obama has promised to save us from the economic mess just like Hitler.
Obama scapegoats the rich, the previous administration, and Republicans in general just as Hitler scapegoated the Jews.
Obama promises to bring America back to its rightful place in the world just like Hitler with Germany.
If only some Germans had spoken up the world might have been saved.
This is bad . I only have one brick.
I decided to sit down instead of stand up because I didn’t know where to stand.
Here a Hitler , there a Hitler, everywhere a Hitler.
We are doomed.
But then I read an ordinary blog. The writer suggested that the two candidates had flaws but both were good Americans. Neither one was fascist or socialist. Neither one had a secret nasty agenda. Whoever we elect will do their best to serve us.
I just have to stop reading true believer blogs.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Herman has lost no time in telling all of Pigeon Falls his latest vision. People are laughing about it all over town. One of the Fly Inn regulars laughed so hard he fell off the bar stool and broke his wrist and he wasn’t even drunk yet. One has to admit that the image of a cow on the roof of the Masonic building is rather odd , even funny. The building is three stories high and has no outside stairway. How will the cow gewt to the roof? Will it grow wings and fly? But Herman says they can laugh but remember his drunken moose with the pumpkin on its head came true, all the polls say Obama is going to win so that vision will come true, and so will this one. Herman says the picture Melli has of the cow on the roof of Bowen's market was done in photo shop. You can ask old man Bowen and he’ll tell you there has been no cow on the Market roof.
Nancy has decided that she is simply going back to the rule she had when she first opened , before the expansion. When she had so few tables. From now on nobody stays for me than a half an hour. After all this is a coffee shop not a café. All she sells is coffee, tea, buns and Finnish toast. If you buy a bun the second cup of coffee is free. If you want breakfast or dinner go to the Happy Pigeon. There will be no more special sections or special treatment for ghost groupies.

Wrap Up

Another good breathing day. That makes three in a row. Wow! In the morning I visited blogs. My sister Dawn called. The man came to look at the roof. In the afternoon we worked at cleaning up the layout table so we can start on the next tunnels. Then we ran the trains. We had both street cars running , two trains going, and the one train was able to move from one module to the others. It was fun. Coming up I worked on getting Sunday's sermon onto the website and putting a hymn there as well. The sermon was easy but the hymn takes forever to load. Now I need a breathing treatment.
GBYA.
