No fate but the fate you make for yourself.

So, Obama is going to kill my grandmother…

It’s what all the pundits are telling me on TV.  However, looking at what has gone through the house so far, I see no mention of grandma-offing.  (Nor do I see anything particularly egregious that is going to make the world come to an end.)

Now, if the President is going to kill my grandmother as I keep hearing, I am going to sell tickets and take bets.  I give it 10 minutes before he’s in the fetal position in the corner crying and saying, “Make the mean lady go away!”  Besides, if the government was going to take out my grandmother over her cost to the government, they would have hired a hitman years ago over her survivor benefit pension.

I realize there are people who aren’t in favor of these bills.  But come up with something better than “we’ll end up euthanizing the elderly” as your sound bite.

4H Fair

Given that Fairfax’s county fair has long since been nothing more than a massive trade show and concert venue, the fact that we have enough interested kids in the county to support a 4H club and a fair is nothing short of a miracle.

It was at Frying Pan Park/Kidwell Farm, which is a gorgeous little spot.  I totally LOVE these fairs – just wish there had been more animal exhibits.  (Either they didn’t have enough people for chickens and other poultry, or it was yesterday.)  They had botanical exhibits, livestock handling and a bunch o’ bunnies.

The rest of the pics are here.
