On Travel and other things

I've got two days to get a massive amount of work and shopping done before I get down and dirty in Mississippi. This trip has been more costly than other missions trips I've been on because I've needed to buy so many supplies and clothes specifically for it. I'm quite tired of spending money, but I keep reminding myself that everything I'm buying is a gift to that area....the glass is half full.

So, I haven't had much time to read anything past headlines, so I thought I'd post those headlines and give my reactions to them. Here goes:

1. Ohio execution is 999th in U.S. since 1977--Who's gonna be lucky number 1,000?

2. Will 'Memoirs of a Geisha' alienate Asia?--Well, they're already pretty far away as it is. Not sure how we could alienate them anymore.

3. Teen with Peanut Allergy Dies After Kissing Boyfriend--See kids? Kissing does lead to death.... (That's awful.)

4. Cunningham Quits House in Bribery Flap--Aaaaaagh!! Why?!!? (Don't get me started on how angry this made me.)

That's all I've got for now. Back to work.

Hey Em,

I hope your trip goes well. I look forward to whatever posts you are able to make 'on the ground.' I don't know if I'll be able to donate, but I'm considering it. Am I missing the 'Paypal' donation button?

Warm regards,

Muzzy

why are you angry, you know, about the Cunningham bribery flap?

if he saved a kitten from off the roof of a burning building, the Dems would accuse him of setting the fire!
