| This was Vancouver weather Thursday January 26 to Tuesday January 31! |
Most people don't like the rain. I love the rain within reason. When it rains, everything is fresh. When it rains for days it gets depressing, but I always think: April showers bring May flowers. Now it's not April, but we have lots of buds on our bushes so it's coming!
Yesterday was 10C/50F. Pretty nice for early February!
If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
~Jay Leno~
The problem with political jokes is they
get elected.
~Henry Cate, VII~
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the
great ones to public office
~Aesop~
Politicians are the same all over. They
promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
When I was a boy I was told that anybody
could become President; I'm beginning
to believe it.
~Clarence Darrow~
Politicians are people who, when they see
light at the end of the tunnel, go
out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton~
Why pay money to have your family tree
traced; go into politics and your opponents
will do it for you.
~Author unknown~
Politics is supposed to be the
second-oldest profession. I have come to realize
that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
~Ronald Reagan~
Politics is the gentle art of getting
votes from the poor and campaign funds
from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer~
I offer my opponents a bargain: if they
will stop telling lies about us, I
will stop telling the truth about them.
~Adlai Stevenson, 1952~
A politician is a fellow who will lay down
your life for his country.
~ Tex Guinan~
Instead of giving a politician the keys to
the city, it might be better to
change the locks.
~Doug Larson~
Sadly this last one.
We'd all like to vote for the best man,
but he's never a candidate.
~Kin Hubbard~
Miss Vyvyanne was scratched today. Apparently she has a "low grade fever". It's great she was checked out by a vet early in the day.
We planned on going to the race in Florida. I'd picked out a cruise and was ready to book when, my inner voice said "no"! I had no idea why I kept on hearing this voice, but I do listen to my inner voice. I thought maybe one of us was going to get sick. Cec and I have had a minor virus but nothing to stop travel. All the other owners flew down and I felt bad we stayed home with Richard. Now I'm thrilled and thank my inner voice! I told Richard when I said I didn't want to go and never gave him a reason there would be more races. So, in the future, we will go to Florida and see her race. And of course, get on a cruise because if you are in Miami, why not?
We got to The Derby before we found out about her being scratched. We had a wonderful lunch and on race #7, I bet on #3. She came in first! I always bet to "show" and I won $3.20 on my $2.00 bet. As you can tell, I'm not a gambler! Not enough to pay for lunch.
