I have decided it is time to bring this blog to an end. No reason other than nobody reads it and it's just a waste of my time.
It was fun while it lasted, but it's no longer fun.

No Longer An NFL Football Fan
After what I just read about one of my favorite NY Giants players, Odell Beckham Jr., and what he did during the game with the Eagles, I have decided to not watch any more football games until these over-paid prima donnas stop acting so childish. Odell hinted that when he lifted his leg in mock urination while on all fours that it was meant for our President for the things he has been saying about NFL players. Which, by the way, I am on the President's side. And baloney on the free speech excuse.
Taking a knee while the national anthem is being played has no place in our society. I have also just read that doing so in the name of social injustice is the highest form of hypocrisy.
NFL team owners should also know better. Who do they think is funding their stadiums? We, the tax payers, that's who.
When Colin Kaepernick first started this nonsense I over looked it...but now it has gotten totally out of hand. These players are not against racism or anything else they want to call it...now they are against our President for the things he has been saying about them.
I say we should all take our part and stop watching NFL games on TV, stop going to those tax-payer funded stadiums, and maybe they will wake up and realize how foolish they all are in our eyes.
And my message to all NFL players, and any other sports figure that is doing these silly things, is to stand up and honor the flag of the nation you are a citizen of and grow up!

Rain, Rain, Rain
Every day, late in the day, another storm rolls through our little hamlet. Actually we are known as a village, but I prefer hamlet.
Today's storm was accompanied by thunder and a little bit of lightning. At my age I am still trying to get used to those two things. Especially the lightning. It still scares me and I want to run and hide. But I don't. If I carried on my cats would run and hide and I don't want that.
Today's topic will be kittens. We were blessed with four of them almost six weeks ago. Their mother is very friendly and quite young. She was one of four in a litter that I named Riley, Rebel, Rion, and Ringo. Riley and Rebel, we believe, were trapped and taken away by our big bad nasty neighbor. He does not like cats. He does not like most animals. But he says his six year old son is the light of his life. And now another one will be here soon as his wife is huge with child. Joy. But they are a topic for another day. I try not to waste my time and energy thinking about them. Besides, they are on their good behavior right now because my husband complained to our magistrate and a court date has been set up in September...continued from a date in August. The charge? Harassment.
Back to the kittens. Their mother was on friendly terms with me from the get go. The other three not so much. Rion is still here and she keeps her distance...but not as far as some of the cats have in the past.
Ringo had her litter underneath some arbs. Then she moved them to a corner of our house on a concrete patio with no shelter over their tiny heads. So I made a makeshift shelter to keep the rain off of them...although rain rarely hits that part of the patio. After about a week there she then finally moved them into the hothouse we have just for the cats. Plenty of straw and other amenities. It gets quite hot in the summer but during the winter most cats welcome being in there. Her last move was onto our deck. We have an awning we can control by remote from inside the house and when it rains we can put it out far enough so that they stay nice and dry. I also set up a shelter for them against the house so they would have a quiet place to go to while nursing or napping.
So now for the last maybe three weeks or so we get to see them and their antics right on the other side of our sliding door. They have shelter and water, they get fed numerous times over the day, they have kibble 24/7 and just recently they got their own little litter box.
I was worried about them using a litter box thinking they would not know what to do with it. I should not have been worried. I took each one, put them into the box, and from then on they knew exactly what it was for and they use it like little pros.
I only hope and pray we will be able to enjoy these four for many years to come. They are the first of their kind to actually not be afraid of us. Whenever I step out onto the deck all four come running to me as well as their mother. And that can be such a joy.

HEY
It's been awhile since I have written anything here. Not because I don't want to, but because I have nothing much to write about these days.
Today is a hot one...with more days to follow that will be just as hot. I am guessing it is unbearable for our cats that are outside. We have four kittens that are about 6 weeks old. They have taken up residence on the deck (after mom changed their "nest" at least two or three times) where they enjoy a makeshift shelter to keep them dry when it rains, dry kibble 24/7, wet food twice a day, and a recently added litter box. Their mother has been taking great care of them and it has been a joy to watch her do her job as a mother and a teacher.
This little note today is just to let others know that I am still here, along with my husband and four inside cats. We take things one day at a time hoping there will be another day to enjoy when we lay our heads down to sleep at night.
We still have our trike and take it for rides every once in awhile. I am sure we will use it, weather permitting, next Friday when we go to see a local band, Crazy Hearts. They are very good and we try to catch their concerts when we can.
That is about all I know for now. Maybe something will happen that I can write about and maybe it won't. What makes it difficult for me to write is the fact that this computer no longer accepts my camera cards so I can't add photos. I always enjoyed doing that.
Till next time...

The Good Old Days
What happens when a country lets all kinds of people in it -- legally and illegally?
You end up with bloat. You end up with people who bring their religion, their ideas, their rhetoric into your beloved country. And soon they want you to conform to their ways. And they don't understand why we don't see things their way. And by "we" I mean those of us who were born here and are many generations from the ancestors that came to this country centuries ago.
I am eighth generation in my line of ancestry. I share the same last name (my maiden name) with the ancestor that came here back in the mid 1700's. I shudder to think what he would say about all that has happened since then.
My ancestors, parents included, loved this country. They were proud to be here. They loved their flag, their values, their religion...and they never thought for one second they would see half of what is happening here today. I am not going into detail for I would not want to offend anyone. Just know that there are so many things going on right in front of my eyes that I do not like and wish I could change them.
If my parents knew that same sex marriages were happening they would die all over again. Love comes in many forms and I am not saying they can't love one another...but married? That is where I draw the line.
I could list a lot of things that should never have been changed because they aren't for the better but I prefer to keep quiet on my thoughts. I know I am not always right but damn it, it just irritates me when i see what has happened to this country over the last decades.
I can only hope we can go back to the good times before I close my eyes forever.
********************************************************************************
And on an upbeat note -- both my NASCAR drivers are on the front row of the Daytona 500 which will be run next Sunday, February 26th.
Chase Elliott has the pole and Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start second. Junior is back after spending half of last season "on the bench" due to severe concussion problems. Since then he got married and hopefully he will do well in this upcoming racing season. Right now, I am a very happy camper.

Today's World
Yes, we all can easily say This is not who we are when it comes to the travel orders President Trump has put in place.
We all know it's not who we are -- but it is who we've become. When the Statue of Liberty was given to us with the inscription of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” it was at a time when we were a very young country, when we had open arms for people who really wanted to be here and not come to do us harm. It was a time when most of us were free spirits and strived to build this Nation into a great Nation...not like today when there are so many that just want to tear it apart and bring it to its knees.
I truly believe the travel orders put in place are a much needed ban. We cannot go on like we were letting everyone into this country not knowing who they really were or why they wanted to be here. When they do enter they are given so many opportunities to get a start and very few take advantage of those things that help them...and then there are the many that just keep sucking from government taking everything they can for as long as they can.
Enter the taxpayer...the hard working people of this country. If my taxes went to a good cause like toward the children in this country who don't know where their next meal is coming from, I wouldn't care. But the majority of my taxes go to bottom-dwelling mud-suckers who never withdraw their outheld hands for freebies. The ones that get on Welfare and never want to get off because it's an easy life. Why are there so many on welfare today? Go back to the previous administration and think how they loved all those people on Welfare and subsidies because those people were beholden to them, those people would vote for them, and it just becomes one vicious cycle. Welfare mothers beget Welfare children and so on down the line. Somewhere the strong ones will stand up and say Enough! Others, hopefully, will follow suit and we will become strong again, strong together.
I am very glad President Trump did what he did and I truly hope he does not back down. That would just make us look weak. What he is doing now is portraying to other countries the fact that we are now going to help those in need that are already here in our own backyard, those that want to be here and have their "dream" come to fruition. I don't mind helping those that want to learn and earn; it's those others that live off the taxpayer that chap my cheeks.
And do you know what else bothers me a great deal? George Soros. He pays people to disrupt things, he pays them to protest the opposite of what we stand for all over this country...why doesn't he take all that money that he uses for nonsense and give it to St. Jude's or Shriners Hospital for Children or similar places like those that help children with diseases? No he'd rather waste it on disrupting this country. How can that douchebag call himself a US citizen? How?

MARCH FOR LIFE: What A Difference
Last Saturday there was some sort of "walk" under the guise of Pro-Choice where people wore pussyhats (I didn't make that up, it's what they are called). There were big shot millionaire stars who gave silly speeches and put on the act of their life. Madonna? Go back to doing what you do best, whatever that is, and stop talking about blowing up the White House. Your silly ass should be carted out of the country for saying that.
Ashley Judd? What the hell was that crap that came spewing out of your filthy mouth as well? If I didn't know you I would have thought you were the devil yourself...something you were calling our President. Go back to the rock you crawled out from beneath and hide your nasty head in shame.
That march had nothing to do with pro-choice and everything to do with adding more hate on our President. All I can say is, if you don't like it there's the door...leave and shut it quietly. Oh that's right, you people don't do anything quietly. Just leave.
Now, folks, flash forward to earlier today...what a wonderful difference...one that made me proud to be one of them. The March of Life. The decent respectable women who marched for those that have no voice of their own. Babies. Precious babies.
I was at that march in spirit. It was the polar opposite of the pro-choice demonstration which proves how ignorant they are. I was embarrassed to be a woman while watching last Saturday. All I could do was keep asking myself, What is wrong with people these days?
Today's march had no disruptions and there were no idiotic speeches or so-called poems that made no sense. Just decent people walking for a darn good cause.
This is a step to getting this country back to being sane again. What we had the last eight years was totally insane and off the charts. I for one am glad to see that era end and a new one begin.

The closer we get to Inauguration Day the more excited I get. It's almost like being a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive.
Yet every day something new pops up in the news to take away "our" good feelings about soon-to-be President Trump. People are blaming his tweets on Twitter but when i read them I agree with what he has to say. He is upfront and honest with all of us.
If someone called me an illegitimate President I would be pissed off too. And I would let that person know I was pissed off. Who the hell does that John Lewis guy think he is? I don't care what he did in the past...we are in the present heading toward a new country. Live with it.
I have come a long way in this life of mine with many roadblocks along the way. I am at a point now where nothing anyone says holds much water if it isn't something I believe in. I don't back down to anyone. I am my own person. I answer to only one being and that is God. Try and take that away from me and trouble brews.
Something else you won't get from me is my gun. I am an American Patriot and a Christian. Yeah, I know, I probably don't live a Christian life with the mouth I have but darn it all, don't mess with me and you won't have to hear things like that come from mouth.
And no, I am most certainly not a bitter person. I love life. I live for every day. And right now I live to see Donald J. Trump become one of the best presidents this country has ever known.
And for all you Democrats still crying over Ms. Clinton not winning ? Stick it.

Winter...Bah Humbug!
A few weeks ago I wrote a comment or two on a blog I visit on occasion. The person who writes said blog is probably the exact opposite of me which would make her a left-wing liberal Democrat. Honestly, there is no talking to "those people." I wrote something upbeat on one of her occasional political posts and before I knew it I was being attacked from all sides by her readers. I deleted my comments and couldn't get away from there fast enough. I don't need to be treated that way...I wasn't being nasty to her so why did her readers take such offense? Guilty consciences? Geez, I'm sorry your girl lost but let's get real.
One of them said they came to my blog and read a few posts and then had some nasty things to say about me. One of them was that I was a bitter person. Yeah, bitter. I wanted to invite her to say that to my face. I'd show her what bitter is. The last thing I do these days is take nonsense from anyone.
So okay, let's get serious. What I have written so far is not what I had in mind when I came to my blog to write something. And now for the life of me I cannot remember what I was going to write about. That irritates me. I am not alone in this...I read a lot of other blogs where they say the same thing: all day long things go through their minds as to what to write about but when they sit at the computer or phone or tablet...everything they thought about over the day completely flew out of their mind. And then I don't feel so bad.
We are eleven days into the new year already. I cannot believe how fast these days just fly by. I am hoping this year proves to be better than 2016. Not that last year was so bad but we did lose an eight year old upright freezer because it decided it no longer wanted to provide really cold air to all the food inside. Loaded with food. Lots and lots of food. We kept the door closed and my husband got on the phone and started making calls to find a replacement. Nobody sells them off the floor anymore; they now have to be ordered. Well, that simply was not what we had in mind. We needed a freezer and we needed it right away. Long story short we did find one at HD (God bless them) that someone bought, took it home and decided it wasn't what they wanted, brought it back and we got a super deal on that brand new freezer never been used or plugged in. And it works great. Once it was up and running for four hours I transferred all the food from one freezer to another. At 1:30 in the morning.
Our TV decided to puke as well. It was one of those rear projection TVs. We had it since 1997 or 1998. I always said I would never replace it until it died. It died a few weeks before Christmas. We replaced it with a 65" curved 4K HD smart TV. Since we didn't have anything to put it on and couldn't hang it on the wall we had to also buy something to take care of that problem. We chose a stand that has a faux fireplace (with 6 different settings) and a built in heater. I used to like watching TV prior to getting this set but now I LOVE watching TV. Imagine going from an 18-year-old TV to what is available to view these days. It is like going from night to day. A whole new world has opened up for me.
There are other things that happened to us as well over the year but nothing as big as having to replace a 13 cu.ft. freezer, a big screen TV, and something to put said TV on. But I couldn't be happier.
I just remember what I wanted to write about in the first place -- I just wrote about them...freezer, TV, stand. Duh.

Well, Well, Well...
Hey Democrats, Clinton lovers, Obama lovers, haters of Donald J. Trump...
HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?
It's all finally over. Now we can look forward to Hope and Change which is something the last president promised us 8 years ago and never delivered on.
I have been a Trump for President person from the very first gathering of all the Republican candidates...when they stood onstage for their first debate. Both my husband and I decided right then and there that he was the candidate for us and that we would vote for him. And we did.
I took a lot of chiding from misguided folks along the way but I held my breath and did not argue with them. I only hoped all the way from back then to now that our candidate would win the election and also the electoral college voting that took place yesterday.
I follow a blog that is so full of hatred and vitriol (she is a pagan so she says) that uses a lot of sewage she lifts from other websites and they are all nasty and full of rhetoric but I keep going back because she does post some things that are half-way decent from those websites. (I ignore the anti-Trump and anti-Pence cards.) They are cards and cartoons with different sayings and readings on them and some are quite funny...the non-political ones that is.
So now we look forward to the inauguration a month away. And then it is off to the races when a lot of changes will be made. It's too bad that from now until then that the current president is able to make drastic changes just to screw things up. But honestly? He has been doing that from day one so why should we expect anything different in this last month.
And as far as the Clintons are concerned...they should go hide out in their little love nest in Chappaqua NY and walk the fields around them...maybe something will swallow them up eventually. And then they can swim their way to the swamp that President Donald J. Trump hopes to drain.
Yes, it's a great day for America...bring back Christianity which is what this nation was based on when it was born.
(Edited to correct a mistake I made.)

I took a lot of chiding from misguided folks along the way but I held my breath and did not argue with them. I only hoped all the way from back then to now that our candidate would win the election and also the electoral college voting that took place yesterday.
I follow a blog that is so full of hatred and vitriol (she is a pagan so she says) that uses a lot of sewage she lifts from other websites and they are all nasty and full of rhetoric but I keep going back because she does post some things that are half-way decent from those websites. (I ignore the anti-Trump and anti-Pence cards.) They are cards and cartoons with different sayings and readings on them and some are quite funny...the non-political ones that is.
So now we look forward to the inauguration a month away. And then it is off to the races when a lot of changes will be made. It's too bad that from now until then that the current president is able to make drastic changes just to screw things up. But honestly? He has been doing that from day one so why should we expect anything different in this last month.
And as far as the Clintons are concerned...they should go hide out in their little love nest in Chappaqua NY and walk the fields around them...maybe something will swallow them up eventually. And then they can swim their way to the swamp that President Donald J. Trump hopes to drain.
Yes, it's a great day for America...bring back Christianity which is what this nation was based on when it was born.
(Edited to correct a mistake I made.)

Grow Up, People
Good Lord what is wrong with people these days?
For Gods' sake just grow up. And get a life. We all know this country was headed the wrong way and we certainly did not need someone in the WH to keep that going full speed ahead. If anybody was scared it was me -- scared of what "she" could and would do to this country. I have never been so thankful the way things turned out.
The world isn't going to come to an end but if those professional protesters keep it up, it just might. They will be to blame. Yes, the majority of them are being bused to big cities and some of them are getting paid and I don't have to tell you by whom. And once again Trump supporters are being blamed for what is going on. The people who are protesting are hypocrites...they are doing the very thing they accused Trump supporters of doing.
We Republicans didn't act like a bunch of cry babies eight years ago. We complained and got on with our lives. Not once but twice (in 2008 and 2012). Why can't the Democrats do the same? Why are a lot of them being so hateful?
And why aren't college instructors teaching good things instead of rallying our young people to now be afraid of things, to need a dog to console them, to need to use crayons and coloring books, to need a safe place...please, just grow up, you're not in kindergarten anymore. I can't really blame the kids -- it is those who are teaching them that are filling their heads with garbage.
What the hell is wrong with you people these days anyway?

What A Glorious Day It is!
Finally...someone I can be proud to call my President. Someone who listens to us and knows all the trials and tribulations we have gone through these past eight or more years.
I did not go to bed until I was positive who the winner was. And by God it turned and stayed in our favor. Like I have written before...both my parents were registered Democrats but it never bothered me to ever vote. My mindset was that if I didn't vote nobody could ever blame me for the person that got elected.
Four years ago I urged my husband to register along with me so that we could vote as Republicans. I had only one thing on my mind as far as registering as Republican and that was so I could vote against you-know-who that was running for a second term. One term under him was all I could stand and felt I simply could not endure another.
I never thought B.O. would win a second term. Boy was I ever wrong. And I thought to myself, well, here we go again, another four years of more crap. And I wasn't wrong.
When Donald Trump announced he was running for President of course I snickered and thought he'll never make it...he won't get far. And then the first debate was aired on TV with all those others that threw their hats in the ring. By the time that debate was over both my husband and I were sold on Mr. Trump. We never looked back and as the weeks and months went by we were solid as to who we were going to vote for in 2016.
Yes, I am gloating, I am happy, elated, and all those other words that describe a person in seventh heaven. I can put my nasty thoughts aside about the other party's nominee and get on with my life in a normal way. For me, she no longer exists. And as far as all those people who said they would move out of the country if Donald Trump won? All I can say is don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Goodbye and good riddance. Every last one of them.
I have always complained about the electoral college vote saying it was really dumb and made no sense to me. But let me tell you...I have changed my mind in a huge way.
I am a Christian and an American Patriot and I know the other nominee would never work in my world. Amen.

Nothing Has Changed
I still believe every word I wrote in my last post. There are now four days left until we find out who our next president will be.
Will it be Donald J. Trump? For my sake I certainly hope so.
How about the liar, Clinton? Think so? Who in their right mind after reading and hearing about all the investigations being done on her would still vote for her? Those are the people I do not understand at all. Why are they so hell-bent on getting such a lying corrupt money-hungry power-hungry person into the White House? If she makes it and nothing is done to her and she stays out of prison I will be scratching my head for the next four years.
And if that liar does make it and then gets indicted we will end up with another clown, namely VP Kaine. Oy vey!

Republicans Have To Think Positive
Of what I have read, most of the Democrat presidents (before the yahoo we have now came along) were good. But the Democrat party back then wasn't even close to today's party and I would have been proud to have voted for most of them. However, I didn't become a registered voter until 2012. There was only one reason for that -- so B.O. was not elected again. I wanted him beaten in the worst way, but the Republicans had such a lame candidate that it was a slam dunk for the Democrats. And what a shame that was.
Which brings us to now. Almost eight years later. I thought I would not last through the first four years but I gritted my teeth and held on for the duration. And then we got punished and received another four years of the same old crap. But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. At least I hope I can see it.
I am here to say, again, that if HRC was the only candidate I would not vote for her in a million gazillion years. She turns my stomach. She makes me want to run down the street pulling my hair and screaming at the top of my lungs. Do you get the picture? We do not need four more years of the crap the Democrats have been shoving down our throats. That woman does not represent anything near to my beliefs. But Donald Trump does...in so many ways.
Trump had our votes before the first debate was over. I cheered, I shouted, I clapped my hands. And I couldn't believe how close he came to how we both felt about this country and the current administration. I would like to interject here that I never liked that show, The Apprentice, and I never watched it because at that time I was not a fan of Donald Trump's despite the fact I did not know anything about him. But after that first debate we felt that, no, he does not scare us, and he hasn't since. He is what this country desperately needs.
My husband and I are both fed up with the BS that is currently going on in Washington and we are afraid if Hillary gets in there that nothing will change. She is a chronic liar from day one and has such a bad history with her partner in crime, Mr. Bill. She is loaded down with so much baggage it's a wonder she can even walk.
Far too many people in Washington are afraid of Trump because they know if he gets elected they will lose their perks etc., most of which are taxpayer funded.
We need change and we need a new challenge. Otherwise we will never get back what we had as far as this country goes. And as of now it seems to be headed nowhere but down. Let's lift it back up again and get it on the right track.
VOTE TRUMP!

Still Here, Never Went Anywhere
Yes, I am still alive and kicking. I just needed some time away from this blog. And others. I read a few every day and comment very little. As a matter of fact I left some comments on one blog that I rarely read but it was a subject near and dear to my heart and I left her know it. It ended with my not visiting that blog any time soon -- I left on my terms.
At my age I get angry quite quickly. And often. My latest anger is aimed at our local township. Living here 30 years now and paying for a street light only because the radius of the light supposedly touches our lot next to the one we live on has gotten to be a pain in my you-know-what. The fee is added to our taxes so we pay twice for that light due to having two separate properties alongside one another. I have been voicing my opinion for almost two years and have also attended a township meeting. What I want is for everyone in this township to pay for those lights -- not just a select few whose properties are "touched" by the light given out. And even that has changed since the electric company has changed the type of bulbs they use -- they now shine down rather than a supposedly 250 ft. radius. That is total nonsense. At the last meeting I did not attend someone brought the subject up on our behalf but they decided to wait until the end of the year to address the matter. Well, I know how that works -- it will have been forgotten and nobody will want to discuss it. I will be there to keep it on the front burner.
If everyone paid a little for all the lights, those of us who are now paying would have our light fee lessened by a lot of $$$, With that in mind, there is another township meeting coming up this Monday and I will be there with bells on and well prepared this time to do battle with those who think they are smarter than me just because they have a rinky-dinky title.
Other than my street light battle nothing much has been changed since I last wrote at the beginning of this year. And speaking of that, I cannot believe it is more than half over already.
One thing that has been going on is the big two-story barn/garage at the end of our property that will be torn down in the coming weeks. My husband has contracted with an Amish company so I know they will do a good job. They will also be in charge of the one-story metal pole building that will be built in its place. That will keep us busy for a few months. I know that once it gets started it won't take long to finish because the Amish work fast and do things right the first time. We recently applied for the permits and picked everything up yesterday so we are good to go.
I would document the razing of the old building and the erection of the new one via pictures but for some reason my camera card no longer works in the computer tower.
That's it for now; I hope to add more things as the days fly by.

Random Thoughts
Yesterday my husband and I went to see The Revenant about Hugh Glass, a trapper and explorer in the early 1800's. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the main character. When my husband and I saw the trailer for the movie weeks ago on TV we both looked at one another and said, That looks like it will be good. I made up my mind then and there that when it came to our theater we would see it. That day was yesterday. What a great movie. I'm not a big DiCaprio fan, although I have seen him in Titantic and Django Unchained, I didn't let that stop me from seeing the film. It is what the film was about that got my attention...not to mention all that magnificent scenery throughout. The main filming site was in Alberta, Canada. Just gorgeous. My husband isn't up on movie goings on or movie stars per se but he did say after the movie was over that he felt DiCaprio should get an award for his acting. I totally agree.
Before yesterday's main attraction, we saw a preview of a movie called The Free State of Jones starring Matthew McConaughey (now, him I like), coming out this March. We both agreed that it, too, looks like a good one to see. It's set in the time of the Civil War which is one of my favorite topics. If we do go, that will mean we will have seen two movies in three months. We usually only see one movie a year which means there haven't been many that both of us want to see together. Last year we saw Fast And Furious Seven and the movie we saw prior to that was The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp (now, him I drool over).
I am looking forward to the next GOP debate next week. Things are starting to really get quite interesting. To be honest with you, I thought some of these wanna be presidential candidates would have dropped out by now. Some are hanging on by a thread and do not seem to want to give up. The great Iowa Caucus will be here soon and then we can really see where most of them stand and how many will keep plugging away spending money that isn't theirs. Except Trump, of course...he doesn't need anybody's money.
One last thought -- if this stock market crap doesn't start picking up and getting back to how it should be, then I am all for dumping Wall Street and their stupidity.
