</div>
Mind ya I ain't no prude iffen the truth be known. But this bag and this mag, when they showed this picture of a woman (not a lady in my opinion) drop her top, really went over the top according my way of thinking. Just not appropriate period, and is way worse than that gal that was painting her son's toenails pink for sum advertising deal!<br />
<br />
What struck me the most was the defiant body language expressed by this gal and the "is this Ok look" on the young boy's face. I really do not think our society has lost all of it's sense of modesty and decorum, but the liberal sucking the hind teat approach of getting their agenda front and off to the left makes me scratch my head in bewilderment at times.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Maybe it's all a function of the mentality of the left thinking that folks are incapable of taking care of themselves and making up their minds according to the individually that G-d created us with. Worked pretty dang good for me growing up. I was bottle fed, Mom did the stay at home thing, I was granted a lot of latitude in decision making for myself as I aged (can't say I growed up, gotta Peter Pan streak in me about a mile wide) and nanny was a foreign concept (did jah know way back when alotta European gals would come over here for college and worked as nannies to pay tuition?).<br />
<br />
Sad to see where this country is headed, even men are getting breast cancer (betcha it only plagues liberal men, they tend to be big boobs anyway). The icons of society seem to be the Hollywood goofballs, socialistic appointees, news anchors that figger the only news important to report on is their opinions and a president who figgers if he sucks up to the right leftist people he can break records for a single event fund raising. <br />

She's all wet, a suffocating liar and torturous to even look at.<br />

<br />
Us folks up in Oregon have been over run with Californians for many years now and I sorta think maybe it's that they wanna get away from hypocrites like Pelosi. One problem tho, they bring their liberal nature with 'em and the state at the end of the "trail" is fast becoming a little Californication. <br />
<br />
Even the east side of the Cascades is quickly cascading into a fetid pool of liberal back eddies filled with the sucker fish that swam upstream only to spawn again the failures they are trying to escape from. Ta heck with a fence between Mexico and the US, Oregon needs an electrified one for sure.<br />
<br />
Oh well, at least I got me my tongue in cheek country music,<br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as “Sinko de Mayo.”~</span></span></div>amanofwonderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07768503222281730188noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782151103710221363.post-37739185041926246072012-04-30T11:49:00.001-07:002012-04-30T11:49:53.518-07:00I'm back, sorta.<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible times. It's 9%.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?<br />
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: You just said 9%.<br />
ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.<br />
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16% unemployed.<br />
ABBOTT: No, that's 9%...<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: Wait a minute. Is it 9% or 16%?<br />
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.<br />
ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You<br />
have to look for work to be unemployed.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!<br />
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: What point?<br />
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work, can't be counted with<br />
those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: To whom?<br />
ABBOTT: The unemployed.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.<br />
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who<br />
are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up,<br />
you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment rolls, that would count<br />
as less unemployment?<br />
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?<br />
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 9%.<br />
Otherwise it would be 16%. You don't want to read about 16%<br />
unemployment do ya?<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: That would be frightening.<br />
ABBOTT: Absolutely.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they're two<br />
ways to bring down the unemployment number?<br />
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?<br />
ABBOTT: Correct.<br />
<br />
OSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?<br />
ABBOTT: Bingo.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the<br />
easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.<br />
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like an economist.<br />
<br />
COSTELLO: I don't even know what the **** I just said!<br />
<br />
And now you know why unemployment figures are improving!<br />

<br />
Here's the text.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">"The idea that the Catholic Church is being forced to do something that as a church it does not want to do is a misnomer," Rachel Maddow said on "Meet the Press" this morning. "The initial exception in here is that the Catholic Church , somebody that is providing the service of being a church, operating as a church, they are already exempt from this."<br />
<br />
"The question is, as the Congressman says, when you want to become a health insurance provider, you must follow the rules of providing health insurance. And in this country that means that you have to cover contraception. And 80% of Americans agree with that," the MSNBC host said on MTP's during the panel segment in the program.<br />
<br />
"You guys only want to make it about religion, but listen, Mitt Romney is campaigning saying that he would like to end all family planning support at the federal level. He would like to eliminate federal -- Title X (Title 10). Rick Santorum says he would like states to be able to make contraception illegal," she added.<br />
<br />
"You can try to make this an issue of 'oh, Democrats hate religion," but the fact is churches were exempt from this from the beginning. This is about providing health insurance and the Republican Party is waging war on contraception at this point in the way [unintelligible] that's where the discussion is," Maddow said.</span></em><br />
<br />
I ain't a supporter uv abortion as a solution to bad choice making and yet I am undecided/confused about the issues surrounding the health of the mother or incidents of rape (I consider incest to be rape). <br />
<br />
Read me a book a long time ago, "The Clan of The Cave Bear" and it seems abortion has been around for a real long time. True to fact the book wuz a work uv fiction but most uv the time there iz a bit uv fact in all fiction, but it did got me to thinking that this is an issue that has been around since the time of the Neandrathals. <br />
<br />
So'z I guess dat Maddow thingie iz one of the last uv her spieces and iz just trying to cover up why her ancestors are pretty much extinct, ya figger?<br />
<br />
I will offer y'all one video that comes to mind when this attention grabbing thingie (ya ever seen dat movie "The Swamp Thing"?) says something in the pubic realms.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Ain't no doubt in my mind she advocates abortion as a means uv contraception. This iz just a lead in to the real agenda uv selective breeding mandated by who knows who.<br />

Imma thinkin I hate words that start with H.amanofwonderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07768503222281730188noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782151103710221363.post-10016190801937098462012-01-06T08:19:00.000-08:002012-01-06T08:19:34.156-08:00Brown outs and Black and Whites outs from the Green out there agendas.So my electrical power ustta come from the hydroelectrical projects built umpteen years ago that are functional, stable, pretty much migratory fish tolerant (until some Dodo planted Walleye) and rather cheap in the grand scheme of making ends meet in a consumer sorta sense cuz water always flows down stream.<br />
<br />
A few years ago I got wind of the fact we "hydro" folks wuz gunna hafta start paying a surcharge for all them windmills being built along the Columbia River, so'z I put me in a solar panel system (made in the U.S. of A. mind you) just to spite dem greenies and other assorted kooks that claim green energy will protect all the living spieces we got left on this here old eath.<br />
<br />
So far so good! I did not pay a penny for electricity ova the last twelve months, even tho I gotta pay $9.37 a month in taxes and PUC fees (if it's out there some entity will tax it) and that is a moral victory for a redneck like me.<br />
<br />
So'z a while back I took me a road trip last fall up the Columbia River to gamble near Pendelton, to shop for wine in the Walla Walla region, to spend 8 hours admiring the granduer of the canyon walls filled with it's wide open spaces and to reflect on what Lewis and Clark musta thought as they paddeled down that river az they took that grand adventure they wuz on. Hadn't dun that trip for 5 or 6 years and me saying I wuz looking forward to it wood (they got tree farms all along the freeways now a days) be an understatement. <br />
<br />
<strong>The Columbia River "wuz" sparse but totally beautiful from wut I wreckcollect?</strong><br />
<br />
I hit I-84 wit my diesel BMW (got 38 mpg on that trip, so that wuz a payoff better than the gambling wuz) and the only thing that had grown in dem parts since I'd been thru there the last time were windmills. They are everywhere! I cud'unt look more than a mile without seeing a cupple dozen or more uv them big ole three bladed thingee jobs sittin' there perfectly still, nary a gear turning, not one bird gittin' blown away and in general thinkin' to mahself these are the new man made Redwoods (they iz actually sorta whiteish but they iz as big as a Redwood) and it made me realize that the gamble along the damned up river has worse odds than any casino I eva been to.<br />
<br />
'Bout that time I was thinking Don Quixote musta been a long lost relative cuz I was itching for a fight, but BMW (actually not British Motor Works anymore, sum German conglomerate took em ova and that iz a whole diff story I won't go inta now) does not offer lances as an accessory and I figgered my extended warranty wouldn't cover paint scratches incurred by chasing windmills, so I just kept my eyes on the road and kept my beak shut until I spied a big ole Golden Eagle (they iz actually brown 'ceptin for their eyes and around udder parts uv their head) <br />
<br />

floating on the downdrafts of the everchanging politics uv saving the environment at the cost of what the (insert bad word) and I got to memberin' the first time I got ta see this raptor up close and personal.<br />
<br />
It wuz back in the mid sixties. Dad and hiz two partners started a start up in Madras and Mom wuz the designated driver between Madras and Prineville. Back and forth we ventured as the new abode wuz being constructed. On one unique jaunt we found the station wagon, filled with the four rowdy boys and a heck'tic Mom, slammin' on the brakes after rounding a blind corner seein' a dead mulie fawn with a Golden Eagle perched atop it and since the Fed did'unt require seat belts back then we all ended up in the front seat.<br />
<br />
That bird wuz ginormous and defiant. It stood on top uv that baby bambi and proceeded to stare us down, prob-bully thinking we wanted it's dinner and all we cud do was ta stare back az we scraped our faces off the front windshield. My guess iz it up and got tired of waiting for that bronze Chevy station wagon to make it's move and proceeded to stretch it's wings, which were wider than that car wuz, and it then made a cupple uv flaps and iffen ya have neva seen a dead deer fly it will blow your mind.<br />
<br />
Okay you'z folks iz no doubt scratching your head in wondering about where I'm flapping my wings with this post, so iffen ya won't do that condemnation thingee uv me for sneaking a few peaks at MSNBC (only when I need a gud laff) I clicked on this article cuz it reminded me uv some purdy spectacular things I've been fortunate enuff to see ova the years .<br />
<br />
<a href="http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/04/9952873-feds-propose-allowing-wind-farm-developer-to-kill-golden-eagles">http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/04/9952873-feds-propose-allowing-wind-farm-developer-to-kill-golden-eagles</a><br />
<br />
Yep I ain't one uv them PETA dudes mind ya'all, but we are called to be good stewards uv this world and it irked me to no end that sum burrocrat in DC made the call that sacrificing a few Golden Eagles to put up sum man made Redwoods, that don't spin alotta the time, iz for a "good" green cause.<br />
<br />
What next I ask! <br />
<br />
Killer Whales r my first favoright animal. <br />
<br />
Ok you guessed it, they iz black and white all ova and they got one heck uv a bite to em. So I amma wondering iffen Al Gore and hiz stooges (there'z more than three, but they sure do act like the original Larry, Curly and Moe crowd mosta the time) figger out a way to make money offen the tidal flows uv the oceans will the fuds allow for the killing uv some aquatic mammals that already know how to power up their own way uv life?<br />
<br />
ps<br />
<br />
I was driving to Bend back in May uv last year and had the opportunity to witness a fight betwinkst a Bald Eagle and a Golden Eagle just this side of the Crooked River Bridge (ok they call it the "Rex Barber Bridge" now cuz sum fella from Culver wuz the pilot of the plane that shot down sum bad azz Jap general in the 2nd war to end all wars) and guess which one won.<br />
<br />
We picked the wrong bird as a national symbol in my not so humbled opinion.<br />

<strong>Andrew John Morrow</strong><br />
June 12, 1912 - December 25, 2011<br />
<br />
Longtime Madras area resident and rancher Andrew J. "Andy" Morrow died Dec. 25, 2011, at the age of 99.<br />
<br />
Andy was born June 12, 1912, in Madras. At that time, the town, only 2 years old, was still in Crook County. Jefferson County was formed in 1914.<br />
<br />
His father, Andrew Morrow, had been born in County Cavan, Ireland, and had come to the U.S. as a teenager. He came to Oregon via Wisconsin, Canada and California after leaving Ireland. At the time of Andy's birth, he was a highly successful rancher. Together with his childhood friend (and brother-in-law) James Keenan, he operated under the name Morrow and Keenan and Grizzly Livestock and Land Co. The business included a large farming operation and bands of sheep that ranged from the Blue Mountains to the Cascades.<br />
<br />
Andy's mother, Emily G. Morrow ("Millie" to her friends) had been a teacher, born and raised in Ludington, Mich. She came to Central Oregon from Seattle, where she had been teaching, and first taught at Lamonta.<br />

</div></div><br />
Andy's late brother Robert was born in 1914 and his sister Kathryn Morrow in 1916. Kathryn currently resides in Fremont, Calif., at the Motherhouse of her Catholic order, the Sisters of the Holy Family.<br />
Andy attended Madras schools in first through seventh grades, attended the Grizzly School in eighth grade and then attended Madras High School. He was active in sports and lettered in football, basketball, baseball, tennis and track. <br />
<br />
After graduating from high school, he attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis., for one year and the University of Oregon for a year. He then transferred to Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University) where he graduated in 1927 with a degree in forestry. <br />
<br />
Following graduation, Andy worked first for the Forest Service in the Fremont National Forest and then for the Federal Grazing Service (which later became part of the Bureau of Land Management) at Burns and Vale, Ore. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.<br />
<br />
After his discharge from the Navy, Andy returned to Madras and persuaded his brother Bob to join him in their own ranching operations as Morrow Brothers, on the home ranch at Grizzly. They raised dryland wheat, hay and cattle.<br />
<br />
Morrow Brothers became well known for the quality of their operations, and won a number of conservation and other awards. Among those awards, Andy and Bob were recognized as Oregonian and Oregon Wheat Growers League Conservation Men of the Year for Jefferson County in 1949 and 1950; Jefferson County Cattlemen of the Year 1951-53 and Cattlemen of the Year for the state of Oregon in 1958.<br />
<br />
Andy was president of the Jefferson County Livestock Association, the Oregon Wheat Growers League and Central Electric Coop, and served on the Oregon Wheat Commission and as the Oregon representative for Western Wheat, a tri-state marketing organization. He served on the board of Trout Creek Soil and Water Conservation District for many years.<br />
<br />
In 1948, Andy married Margaret Mathis, a high school home economics teacher originally from Oklahoma, who had come to Oregon to teach in 1945. Margaret was a graduate of Oklahoma A and M, now Oklahoma State University. They had two sons, Andy Jr., born in 1952, and Dean, born in 1955. Margaret died in 2004.<br />
<br />
As his children were growing up, Andy was active in community affairs as well as agriculture. He served on the Jefferson County School District 509-J School Board, and was an active parishioner at St. Patrick's Catholic Church from the founding of the parish, including serving for several years as the chairman of St. Patrick's Cowdeo, a community event that continues, although no longer associated with the parish.<br />
<br />
He served as president of the Jefferson County Pioneer Association in 1972 and was recognized as Pioneer Man by the Association in 1992. He received a Certificate of Appreciation for his work with the Jefferson County Historical Society in 1991.<br />
<br />
Throughout his long ranching career, Andy worked closely with the Oregon State Extension Service and was a charter member of the Alumni and Friends of the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences. He was recognized as a Diamond Pioneer by the College of Agricultural Sciences in 1987 and was named an honorary extension agent.<br />
<br />
When it became apparent that neither of his sons was going to return to operate the family ranch, in 1999, Andy and Bob donated more than 4,000 acres, with buildings and equipment, which formed the core of the home ranch, to the Oregon State Foundation through a charitable remainder trust. At the conclusion of the trust in 2019, the assets will serve to support the program activities of a professorship in the College of Agricultural Sciences in connection with Jefferson County Agricultural Experiment Station and to fund OSU college scholarships for 4-H and FFA students from Jefferson County. A portion will also go to support the Sisters of the Holy Family.<br />
<br />
Andy continued to manage and conduct conservation projects on the remaining land. He could be found on the property into his 90s with chainsaw in hand, clearing junipers to improve the land for grazing.<br />
<br />
He continued to manage his own investments, to attend St. Patrick's Church, and to attend occasional civic events, as well as serving as a resource for those interested in the history of Jefferson County to the very end of his life.<br />
<br />
He is survived by his sister, Sister Kathryn Morrow of Fremont, Calif.; and his two sons, Andrew J. Morrow Jr. of Portland, and Dean M. Morrow and wife Kathy of Salem; and grandchildren and their wives, Andrew Morrow III (Sarah) of Plymouth, N.H., Jacquelyn of Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico, Sean of Portland, Chad (Kari) of Roseburg, and Nicholas and Kyle, both of Salem; and great-grandchildren Benedict and Charles, both of Plymouth, N.H.<br />
<br />
He was preceded in death by his wife Margaret Morrow and his brother Robert Morrow, both of Madras.<br />
<br />
A recitation of the rosary will be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 29, at Bel-Air Colonial Chapel in Madras, and Mass of Christian burial will be at 10 a.m., Friday, Dec. 30, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Madras.<br />
<br />
In lieu of flowers, his family suggests remembrances to the Jefferson County Historical Society. Arrangements are under the direction of Bel-Air Colonial Funeral Home of Madras.<br />

<strong>There are two very distinct memories that stand out in my mind about this Man, even tho there were many over the years.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>When I was a junior in high school our basketball team, after working in the potato processing plant during the summer, were priviledged to attend a tournament in a little town on the Big Island over the Christmas break, </strong><br />
<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/hi/laupahoehoe.html">http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/hi/laupahoehoe.html</a></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>It had been wiped out by a tidal wave a long time ago but the coconut trees had grown back and we all tried to climb them to no avail, but Andy did.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Damn I was in awe uv that fella.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Then we took a tour of the Big Island. There was a huge cattle ranch, a cupple of black sand beaches (that was impressive to this teenage hick), jungle stuff, almost desert stuff (they got cactus ova there, who'd a figgered) and active volcanos (that are really cool in a hot sorta way.)</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>We had ta walk out over the lava fields to git to the view point that looked down inta the very depths of Kilauea,</strong><br />

</div><strong>We finally made it to the viewpoint that looked straight down inta the depths of the molton mass. It was wooden and a bit rickity for my taste but I mustered up the courage to walk out and look down over the railings. Jeez it was awe inspiring to say the least, but it took a back seat to Andy. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>That fella climbed up on top of the 2x6</strong> <strong>railing and started snapping pictures as if hiz life depended upon it. Scared the crap outta me worrying he was gunna fall in and become instant fricassee. But he hopped down, no worse for wear, with the biggest grin on his face that I will ever hope to see.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Andy was, in his simple way, awesome at inspiring awe in the future generations that had the chance to see him in action.</strong>amanofwonderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07768503222281730188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782151103710221363.post-2476742470588797462011-09-10T16:54:00.000-07:002011-09-10T16:56:22.926-07:00A few moments of silence.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ07W07a6Ne26RdfpfB1Zw1dTh5WPVCnLsSJPCyzHTiBTaApRuZAz6TPEnvmAgxYscgP6iWt3kcJqwWpbw9znw47QBgxA_8hWECwHdfsJ-j_4zGuHO-fxBnFv0p66___xHJ9zhi9kGqfzn/s1600/911+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ07W07a6Ne26RdfpfB1Zw1dTh5WPVCnLsSJPCyzHTiBTaApRuZAz6TPEnvmAgxYscgP6iWt3kcJqwWpbw9znw47QBgxA_8hWECwHdfsJ-j_4zGuHO-fxBnFv0p66___xHJ9zhi9kGqfzn/s1600/911+6.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
