 A Woman's View:
Same Sex Marriage- Wednesday, August 27, 2003
by: Barbara Reid
Barbara noted that "With all the current serious concerns to pay attention to,
such as the Blackout, floods, all the fires, etc., and disrupted lives, this same-sex
thing is rather ridiculous to be spending so much time on." She felt it was
time that we heard what a woman, a "mom," a "misses," has to
say about this contentious topic that will take up a lot of time when the house sits
this fall.

We arrived in Oshkosh the first day of the enormous Experimental Aircraft Association

sights of that day. My goal was to see the legendary Chuck Yeager and as you can
see I got what I was after. This page contains a QuickTime Virtual reality

Californians got seriously burned in the ENRON scandal which was partly to blame
for the energy crisis their state experienced. The campaign is on to oust the governor

good campaign. This one you have to read the references to get the story.

 An upside down world led by the finest
liars- Friday, August 22, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Prior to the US invasion of Iraq there was no terrorism in the country now it is
an everyday occurance, as the country is still almost entirely without power, unemployment
is the norm and now even the UN attempting to bring aide to the place has taken a
serious hit as the man who had been expected to succeed the Secretary General is
a victim with many others including two Canadians. Mr. deSantis leads us to consider
some of the underlying issues, be sure to check out the references.

 The Road to Oshkosh- Sunday, August 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
We often hear the cliche that "getting there is half the fun." For most
of us the travel to a destination is a means to an end but on this trip the travel
across three states by Interstate and the day light awareness of the country through
which we travelled became a separate adventure. This page has sixty seven pictures.
