NUDE IN OAKLAND

A carpenter in Oakland, CA was caught hammering nails and sawing wood in the nude has been found not guilty of indecent exposure by a judge.

The not guilty verdict came because he was working and not exposing himself or seeking sexual gratification. He says he likes to work in the nude because he is more comfortable and it helps keep his clothes clean.

He was caught three times in Berkeley and got two years probation. Berkeley prohibits nudity and Oakland does not have a similar ban, so he moved to Oakland.

Only in America.

NICKLE AND DIME YOU TO DEATH

If you have children going to school you know what I'm talking about in my title. First comes registration, then comes class pictures. If you think that your child is a up and coming artist there is the Young Rembrandts, then comes Market Day (i guess that's ok) and of course there is popcorn day every other week. Then come the forms for book orders and in these order forms are not only books but kits to become a spy, astromer and anything else you can think of, and school outer wear, sweat shirts, tee shirts, etc., and we are only in the fourth week of school. I'll have to get another job to keep up. Happy School Year.

FAILED COMEBACK

What if a failed comeback. Ask Britney Spears. She can tell you all about it because of that failed performance on the MTV Video Music Awards on Saturday. Her lack of enthusiasm during her dance moves looked like she was asleep. If she was looking for this performance to put her back on top, she can forget about it. Give it up Britney, it's over.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Today is Sunday and the Lord blessed us with a beautiful day. A day not use the air conditioner or the window fan. A day to open the windows and enjoy the wonderful breeze coming in and watching the curtins and blinds swing back and forth lazely. I took this day to buy flowers and visit my wife's resting place. My granddaughter and I bought miniature carnations, peach colored, and three peach roses with baby breath. We went to the cemetary to place the flowers and one would have thought it was a holiday for the number of people there. I try to put fresh flowers there once or twice a week, depending on how hot it is. I think she liked the flowers because as I was leaving I thought I heard "their beautiful" or was it just the wind.

NEW SOCCOR SEASON

Yesterday was the first day of soccor for my grandson. He plays at Hidden Lake which I don't know if it's in Gary or Merrillville Indiana. Well let me tell you Hidden lake was not prepared for soccor season. There were port-a-pots by the baseball fields but not by the soccor fields. The sell refreshments but where do you put the paper wrappers that the treats come in. You guessed it, no garbage containers. They had them by the baseball fields. Excuse me Hidden Lake but there is another world beside baseball and it's called soccor. Lets get these folks some port-a-pots and garbage cans. Thank you.

TROUBLE MAKERS

When ever you have a nice holiday like Labor Day, there are always people who don't know what a good time is. Their idea of a good time is to get drunk not know where they are and think they can lick the world.

Let me tell you of the things that happened over the weekend. First there was a hot air baloon that came down at the enterence of our campground and knocked down the power lines. We were without power for about 1 hour. Thank God no one was hurt. A women with child had fallen at the swimming pool and the ambulance was called. A mans golf cart started on fire. There was a small fire in one of the dumpsters and of course there were a couple of fights with drunks and teenagers. These problems were all handled by our security force with the help of off duty policemen. Good job.



Other than that is was a nice weekend. I hope yours was too.
