My Kitty is as cute as a button and other observations...

She has a bit of a cold, but she is ok. I gave her a bath and she didn’t like that at all!!! LOL. Oh well. I meet a celebrity!!! Well he is just a local celebrity, but I meet Darrin Bradley of WNEM TV5 this past Thursday. For those of you reading this that live out of state, click this link http://www.wnem.com/Global/story.asp?S=192765&nav=7k77Kxpn
I ran into him at the Shell station in Vassar, he was in town to do a remote for the annual pumpkin roll. I went up to him and asked him if he was who I thought he was and he said yes, and then I chatted with him for a couple of minutes. That was really cool, he is a nice guy. Anyways, Its time to vote. Its time to stop the spin and grin and make a choice. I hope that when you make your choice that it was your own informed choice and not just what someone told you. I am watching CSPAN as I write this and they are doing a call in show. I just heard an elderly lady go on a rant on how Bush is such a saint and John Kerry is evil. She ended the call by saying that Bush will go to Heaven and John Kerry will go to Hell. That is so horrible to hear an older lady say something filled with such Hate. I pray that God will release that hate that fills her. That is sad. I am voting for John Kerry and here is why. I will name the Issues and Kerry’s views on these Issues.


Abortion: Kerry is against it except in Extreme situations.
