Happy 4th!

Would you sign your name to a radical document that declared things like, "...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive..., it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government...?"  Abolish the government?  Institute a new government? What?!?

Get To Know Me

Posted by: Herb

From:  Me

Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2008 9:22 PM
To:  My Fans, Friends, Fiends and Foes

Subject: Getting to know me!

Okay, so everyone knows I really am not a fan of doing memes, but I recently ran across one of those rare people that were nice to me back in high school and she had included me on her list of friends to receive this, so I decided to go ahead.  Besides, I needed something to give you guys while I work on my next "real" post which should be by the end of the week.  I added questions number 45 - 47 to make it an even 50.

I don't tag people because I don't like to be tagged, but if you decide to do this one, would you please leave me a comment with a link so that if my friend comes around she can have an opportunity to see all of your answers if she wants to?

Thanks.  Here goes...

Huh?  Oh, don't let the title fool you.  It's just a few things that maybe aren't long enough to have their own entry.  I have been trying to do better about making new entries, too.

Happy Birthday To The Army and The Flag

Posted by: Herb

 

This is Flag Day, celebrating both the birth of the flag and the birth of the U.S. Army!  Make sure and salute them both.  Just don't get mixed up on which one to fly from a flagpole and which one to invite to a barbecue or you could get injured.

Flag Day started in Fredonia, WI

Optics Of All Sorts

Posted by: Herb

Ever since I was a little boy frying my first ant on the sidewalk with a magnifying glass, I have been interested in things with lenses and how they work.  It was interesting to me how light is captured and bent and focused.

Your Blinker Fluid Is Low

Posted by: Herb

You know, I feel sorry for some of the people that drive these brand new cars.  Not so much that they are pretentious, which some are, of course, but rather that people have to get them without all the niceties.  I have never bought a brand-new car, but I know that a lot of times they give you options to chose from and that's where it gets sad.  So many people buy cars without all the optional equipment.  See, was it me, and I could order a new car, one of the little amenities I would order would be

Scenarios, 1958 and 2008

Carter and I are members of a forum called "Conservatives Haven" although he is actually a lot more involved than I am.  You can go to the Delphi main page and create your own forum for free.  Anyway, he got this there and e-mailed it to me and I share it with you:

Important Gun Testimony

I received this clip in my e-mail and didn't really know any of the details or background, so I asked Carter, Two Dogs and Skunkfethers for input and Carter remembered right away and answered first:

Hippie Convention

Posted by: Herb

The hippies Democrats had their state convention here in our town a few days ago and are planning to have their national convention up in Denver.  It was like going back to the 60's, man.  I mean, like, man, I saw the protestors groovin' on their freedom of speech.  It was far out.  Really far out.  Real, live hippies, dude.  Although now they're like, over 50 and part of the establishment and have to say, "Never trust anyone over 90."

I had just picked up my teenage daughter from school

Where'd It Go?

I have (temporarily?) removed the McCain banner while I consider the possibilities of supporting Bob Barr, the Libertarian, instead.  Comments?

Big Herbie, Little Herbie (Reprint)

Posted by: Herb

(I decided to reprint this one for Memorial Day.  Originally posted 10/27/04 - HT)
 
Big Herbie & Little Herbie

When I was growing up and even to this day when I am around certain relatives and people who have known me since I was young, and some elderly folks, I bore the moniker, "Little Herbie."  Man, I hated that.  I hated to be called Herbert, too, because there was NObody even close to my age that had a name like Herbert!  What were my parents thinking to name me Herbert and allow people to call me "Little Herbie?"

Okay, now that the giggling, laughing, chortling, chuckling snorting and outright guffawing have simmered down I will tell you.

Honest People Are Refreshing

Posted by: Herb

There is still some hope in the world and not the kind of false hope presented by the Black Irish candidate, but I feel really upbeat and positive today.  First, Let me apologize for not being around more, but as I've told you in the past, when there is real life to be lived I have to go with it rather than blogging, or I won't have things like this to tell you about.  Actually I appreciate the supportive comments I have received lately and since I am feeling up and hopeful and inspired I will share this with you all, Gentle Reader.

Oops.

Posted by: Herb

Sorry to all of you who get an e-mail when the site is updated.  A glitch I discovered just now is that if I post to the future, the program still sends out an e-mail.  The link will work tomorrow.  I will have to figure a work-around for that.
