On Saturday, Nov. 1st, I was tallying up the sales numbers here at the store for October.October was good. October showed a big increase. Every month since opening in July we have had an upward trend.Business was good.Judging from that Saturday and the following Monday, it looked like we were on our way to an even better November... and then Election Day.Not a single customer!I didn't get too

"Fido and Rover are 'so' yesterday. When it comes to naming dogs, Americans are opting for names that are downright human. A survey using data from the computers of Veterinary Pet Insurance says the top four male dog names are Max, Buddy, Rocky, and Bailey.

Well, here we are on the verge of yet another flash flood down here in the holler. This will be the fifth one in about 3 weeks. Almost twice weekly we've been getting hit with torrential rain that just won't quit, dumping over 5 inches a pop in just a few hours. I blame Algore.Luckily, maybe this one won't be so devastating. The bulk of it seems to be shifting more southward this time. The poor

"The Turin shroud, the 14- by 4-foot linen long believed to have been wrapped around Jesus' body after the crucifixion, has entered the digital age. A huge 12.8 billion-pixel image was made of the linen, on which the smudged outline of the body of a man is indelibly impressed. The image was made following a Vatican request to obtain the most detailed reproduction of the yellowing ancient cloth.

Ok, since we're on our 2nd snow day here, let's play a little guessing game.See if you can figure out which site these comments about the Republican Debate the other night came from. No fair scrolling down ahead of yourself!Here we go:McCain has particular problems... for the last week, in his speeches and TV appearances, he's started to look and sound tired -- really, really tired.

Lem, Lord of the Hillbilly Ecosystem and congenial host of Hillbilly White Trash is getting a blog roll going to stop the man who is single handedly destroying the GOP.

Damn right the base is paranoid...AND PISSED!What do you expect when we have yet again blatant weaselry coming from a Florida election??!!This is a juicy follow-up to the story yesterday about Inds. being allowed to vote.

I have read that some early voters today report that Thompson is still on the ballot for Florida. (link to the .pdf file)I'll be curious to see what percentage, if any, he pulls in.There's still a lot of disgruntles out there.(me included.)

An interesting choice for the campaign stops "mood music"- video includes nun rape and a dog eating brains.Curious lyrics, too, considering."My friends tell me,She's the beast inside your paradiseI guess you've heard it all beforeA fallen angel,That has got you hypnotizedAnd that always needs some more..."My guess is that she has seen it.Heh!

I dunno about y'all, but I'd say I've easily done more than my fair share lately to tickle the economic weeny of the nation, as an old friend of mine used to say. Quite frankly, I'm tired! All this here stimulating has wore me out!So far since last October I have poured close to over 20,000 bucks into the economy. I've done my part, I'd say.Let's see, 1600 bucks for a rebuilt tranny.A cash

In light of the sad news coming from the Fred campaign, I have decided to go ahead and come out with my official non-endorsements for a Republican nominee. Call it denial, call it grief, call it childish pettiness but if I can't get out my angst here-what good is having a blog? It's my opinion, I'm sticking to it.So with no further adieu-here's what I really think of these guys:

As the years peeled away, and the long-awaited champion failed to descend from the mountain, those in elected office who bore the conservative label sat down to eat and drink at the public trough, and rose up to dance to the popular tunes of the big-government
