A Putnamanic Perspective in Merced Ca

I guess in today’s world, this is supposed to be the happiest times we get, the Holidays. Yesterday I went out, and picked up a couch from a dear friend who is limited on time. They wanted us to have this piece of furniture. I was saddened in a way because good people are supposed to always be here. But no one person can live forever. Some ways, with the economy going south, everything drying up, and the world in un-rest, what can Santa bring this year. As I just posted on my favorite blog site, I guess we all learn from that of a Putnamaniac. Sometimes life is good when it is right in front of you. It used to be, be blessed if you have a roof over your head. Now, it is be blessed as you if do not have doubt. I think the best way to get rid of doubt, go outside and look around and  enjoy the view. In the words of the All Knowing Ferris, Life moves pretty fast, if you dont stop and look at it, it will pass you by.

So my advice to you, is do not say life is bad, but look at the other side, life is really good. Bring two cans of good soup, not that can of 10 year old beans to the food bank today. And see why life is good. As in Putnam Connecticut , life is pretty good. Even in Merced Ca, highest unemployment in the nation. In Marcy’s response, why is that. Because of friends like Marcy who remind me how good it is to live where we live, and me giving something to the local food bank, that there is good things in this world, that will remove doubt from those who have to wonder, am I going to eat this holiday season....

New Order in Washington

Yesterday was the first day of the New Order in Washington, amazing that something as good as the Giants celebration of the first World Championship in the Bay area, as to the mess in Washington. My question that I have to ask, we wanted a new order to the old regime. Not a continuation of what is going on. The old regime is coming forward and saying the American Public wants change. Do you know the old guys is what screwed this country up? We refuse to put in a Christine O'Donnell yet we send back Barbara Boxer. The country has let the banks raise rates and fee's, yet they are threatening the raising of lower class taxes. Fox is wanting to raise the rate of cable and dish owners by $1.00 per household, while we just sit here and take it. The Commodities are sky rocketing, banks are getting their bonus structure raised. One person actually had the gaul to say that the bankers were promised those bonuses. Promised, what about our better tomorrow? What about our promise of a better future. More jobs? I guess that is OK, we are not in the social structure to understand. The Banks are what ruined and separated this country in a very short 8 years. Oil is being jacked up, and yet all we can say is, "My god what would have happened if O'donnel got elected? Really, is that all we can say? The unemployment rose this week by the way, while you know what? The Stock Market rose to a 2 year high, and gold and oil rose.  High 5's all around! You won.
