Spring is finally in the Air


Spring is in the air. I can tell because I wake up each morning with a stopped up nose and soon I will have itchy watery eyes. I am taking a new nasal spray this year and hope that this might help alleviate the problem.

It is a real shame that one of the prettiest times in Arkansas is plagued by allergy season. This is the time that the Azaleas bloom and give some of the prettiest color around. It is short lived of about 3 weeks but the colors are gorgeous. Along with that many of the trees come in full bloom and the world is just gorgeous.

Only if the allergies would leave us alone so we could see it.

Somebody hand me the nose spray and the eye drops.

Judging Contest - 1000 Hot Dogs - Good Kids!


I was priviledged this week to do one of the things that I enjoy doing outside the office. We call it PR work but I question how much PR it really gets us.


What I was doing was cooking 1000 hot dogs for a statewide FFA/4H judging contest that is held in my area each year. The cooking takes about three hours and lots of labor. However, after visiting through those three hours with a lot of kids that are tops in their class and mostly who are well mannered and seem to appreciate the effort, it is kind of fun.

However, the day was cold and windy and this created some issues. The event was in a large indoor rodeo arena which helped some but did not take away all of the pains.

Well, again a good cause. My industry is Agricultural Lending and many of these youngsters will be future customers. Hope they remember that I cooked them a hot dog.

Who Controls My Future - Life With Hussein Obama!

It scares the living daylights out of me to think about my future. I am aging now - HA! Moving on toward retirement age. Yes, when I go out to the internet and look at the website that has my retirement and 401K info on it I find that it has a countdown to my regular retirement age. Yes, 8 Years, 7 months & 7 days shows up. Interesting that it does not give me how long I have worked or the options for future employment. But that is another story.


My topic here is who controls my future. Have you noticed who is screaming and yelling praises and voting for Hussein Obama. (I prefer to call him that to keep ever present the idea that he has a Muslim background.) It was extreme Muslims who flew the plane into the twin towers wasn't it?) By the way do you recognize the pictures here.




Sorry, I was sidetracked for a minute.


Now back to who is screaming and yelling and voting for Hussein OBAMA! Look at the crowds. It is the age 18 to 35 age group. The kids that we raised or tried to raise. They will be 26 to 43 when I am retired. They will be the absolute in charge generation at that time. They will be electing people like Hussein Obama to lead my country...to make decisions that affect my retirement years.


And you ask why I am scared to death!



Do I want Hussein Obama as my President!

No way Jose or should that be no way Hussein!
