I am beginning to regret that I did both the Cheddar X and the Friday five yesterday. That means if I want to post today I have to think up something on my own. With John Kerry on vacation, this is proving to be tough.

A lot of things are of interest to me, but I can't seem to turn off the mental cruise control enough to deal with any of it in a meaningful way.

Henry Lamb has a good column at World Net Daily about the LOST treaty. If you don't know what the LOST Treaty is, that is a big part of the problem.

The Pakistanis are doing a terrific job trying to make up for selling nuclear technology to a lot of people who shouldn't be anywhere near nukes. The ongoing fighting on the Afghan border has resulted in a lot of dead and captured Al Quida. They still have a long way to go before their penance is done.

Having the endorsement actual flesh and blood foreign leaders might not be as god as the imaginary kind. Kerry has moved to quickly reject the endorsement of former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

Locally we are doing our part to help defeat Kerry by trying to keep the economy strong. An architect was put on retainer today to draw up plans to ad a bedroom the second floor. Costs aren't in yet but we're budgeting about $20k (more debt!). Also we are getting a new puppy tomorrow (bringing the dog total to 3). The new pet, a King Charles Spaniel will be called either Bogart, or Willoughby. We'll decide when we meet him.
