   Welcome back, Michelle! Glad to see your trip was wonderful. I hope your batteries are recharged. We’re gonna need ‘em…

   Welcome back, MM!
   Glad you enjoyed your fun in da sun.
   Enjoyed the pics that you posted — we used to live in quarters at San Onofre in San Clemente. I miss SoCal (the weather, the beaches, Orange County shopping) but not the crazies

   Your little girl is big fast!

   From the way you’re dressed in the fishing pic, looks like it’s a good thing global warming kept ya’ll from freezing out there.

   Thanks for the pics! Looks like you had fun.

   Welcome back Michelle! Thanks for the cool pix! Makes me a little jealous because the weather looked awesome there but it will be summer soon enough.

   Oooooh I so envy that trip….sounds SOOoooooo relaxing.

   Welcome back. I hope you all had good fun.

   …and fishing? Hey, even if you don’t catch any, the WORST day fishing is still better than the BEST day working.

   C’mon up to Wisconsin and fish for some Salmon on Lake Michigan. Good times and big fish.

   …or if you are REALLY into fishing, go with us on one of our ice fishing trips to Devils Lake, ND. Now that is truly fishing.

   Michelle, I get a little bummed every time you mention Colorado Springs…I was stationed at Ft. Carson back in the 80′s, have visited there a couple time since, and miss it terribly. Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods…Royal Gorge….I hope to make it back.

   I forgot to mention, your relief crew, LaShawn, Val and Doug ALL did a very bang up job while you were absent.

   A VERY good pick for relief.

    ….that sunset, in the temperature of California….I’m picturing a lawn chair, the other half nearby, after a barbeque, maybe something tasty to drink….serenity.

    Only reason to come back to reality is to realize it’s in California.

    Welcome back, looks like you had a super time and that mebbe your internal clock might be a bit off due the traveling.

    Anytime my mom could find a stick, string, bent nail and a few worms it was fishing time.

    I never caught that bug, but loved the fried results of her “gone fishin’” days.

    Doug, La Shawn and Val did great, they have very different writing styles, very interesting takes on various events. They fit in very well here.

    That said, we missed you but are happy you are a family person through and through. As my late grandmother would preach, we should work to support our families meaning don’t be a workaholic at the expense of family!

    Happy Passover to all our Jewish friends. May God the Father Almighty continue to bless you.

    Seeking A “Boiling Frog” Logo for Political Rallies

    Friends:

    Because I fear the American public will forgive and and forget and feast on Obamacare by Nov. I’m looking for a politically devoted artist among you who’d be willing to create a “boiling frog” logo that one can freely download and printed out as a T-shirt or flag iron-on for use at rallies or street clothing. As inspiration, one could be of a sweating frog in a pot where the flames below might be labeled “socialism” or “communism”, or on the side a kind of “temperature gauge” showing where we are socially. If you’ve interest or know someone who might be please contact me at jimwg1@gmail.com

    While MSNBC is pounding nails on conservative coffins with serious related issues on its morning shows, “Fox & Friends” is mostly serving us mindless silly features.

    Welcome back Michelle, that pic requires some Quint.

    ~ Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll catch this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Bad fish! Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycod. This shark, swallow ya whole. Little shakin’, little tenderizin’, down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back the tourists, that’ll put all your businesses on a payin’ basis. But it’s not gonna be pleasant! I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I’ll find him for three, but I’ll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don’t want no volunteers, I don’t want no mates, there’s too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.~ Quint

    Welcome back Michelle.

    I’m wondering if while you are on vacation you are recognized and “bothered” by many people? I know if I saw you I could not resist saying hi, telling you I post at your blog and maybe asking for an autograph.

    All three subs were good. While I have read Babalu before and heard of and visited The Powers That Be, this is the first time I learned of La Shawn Barber and her blog. Her writing is commendable. Now I have three more stopping points when I log into my trusty laptop.

    Welcome back, Michelle. Thanks for contributing to the California economy! You’ve helped the state to stave off bankruptcy for a couple of minutes!!

    I still have 1994 Northridge earthquake PTSD. And the traffic still sucks.

    Per the link below, it appears that even Colorado may be susceptible to a significant shaker. When it comes to mother nature, you can run, but you can’t hide.
