Life has a lot of details that we never notice.



This gerbera daisy flower has a lot to see beyond it's striking yellow petals.




This lowly coleus leaf reminds me of an elephant's skin.


Enough about mayhem and guns. On to something even more depressing...politics.

I was pretty sure that I had a post in which I predicted Obama/McCain in the general election. Unfortunately, I can't find it, so I may be misremembering. Although I do recall ducking sniper fire while I typed and that's something you just don't misremember.

I have opened the betting on the fall election. Since I cannot legally accept wagers on the outcome here in Hooterville, I would appreciate it if you keep this under your hat.

The odds for each candidate are as follows.

Obama - 100% likelihood of winning.
John McCain - 0% likelihood of winning.

If Bob Barr makes good on his threat to enter as the Libertarian nominee, McCain's chances drop to less than zero.

One last thing. Maybe you have seen Father Pfleger's rant on Hillary, but in case you haven't, here it is.



Some Catholic Cardinal in Chicago has his panties in a bunch over Pfleger's remarks and has asked him to cool it for a bit. Personally, the most offensive thing I find about Pfleger is his affectation of a black preacher, not his message. Just saying.




Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky

So you think Obama is going to win it?

Who said Church wasn't a crazy place to go?

I'm thinking, despite "issues" that people keep bringing and making up, that the "old guard" seems to think the old thinking still works and razzle dazzles people.

After the last 8 yrs, I think that coffin may be closing!

We can only hope!

Nice shots of the plants too.

I totally forgot how nice the first part of this post was because of that crazy holy man at the end. What really pained me, was that before and after the rant, the MC was saying "Michael is our friend" Michael is God's Messenger!"

The coleus shot made me think --is each coleus leaf different, like a snowflake? Or did they debunk the snowflake theory?

I'm scared to watch that video.

I love coleus. We plant them in front of our building in the summers and they always prosper.
