Around 11:00 this morning as I refilled my half empty gas tank, just musing in the ether, who says hi to me from the other side of the pump? Not Santa....no not Eddie the Elf...it was our own beautiful Karen Z!!! She and Debra miss us sooooo much, Debra has been working too hard and much too sad, what with time foreclosing on so many. So I for one am sending love to you both and wishes for creamy yogurt treats all around and soon!!!

Hi Anni and all! We really dooooo miss you all, and are going to do our darnedest to get there this Friday! Debra is starting to get back to her old self, and I won't be a wimp about the cold. Sounds great going to Jeane's, too! It was really cool to bump into Anni at the gas station! She was just minding her own business, when I practically goosed her out of a daydream...Haha! A small brag! Yesterday, Debra and I went to the CBS newsroom so that she could be interviewed about mortgage scams. It's supposedly going to air nationally next Saturday, so stay tuned for more on that!!

Hey, KZ and Debra! We're still missing you all sooooooooo mush! Is Debra famous now? I'm watching for her on Rachel Maddow every day, faithfully. Am I on the wrong channel?
And I'll eat no yogurt until you both come back to the corner. Call it a strike, I'm calling it solidarity.

Hi, I'm Andrew the Barbarian. I am crude and occasionally rude, but I do believe fervently in peace.
I also believe in preparation for war as the most sure method of preserving peace. War is a last resort that should never be resorted to voluntarily - and I am confident most generals and admirals agree with me - they are smart cookies in general.
Politicians are the problem, from even before Thothmose III through Alexander, Julius Caesar, Hitler and he who's name shall not be spoken save by the symbol "W".
Who are our politicians? They are lawyers and car salesmen who have no training in anything except weasel wording and making money, and no talent save raising money and getting votes. I hope "W"s replacement is better, but it is a thin hope.
59192 characters left - but I'm going to bed now.

Andrew, you raise some good points and a few questions. I don't see how preparing for war can preserve peace -- historically, it's usually led to war -- unless you mean as a deterrent, which I understand.
I don't think I'm a pacifist, though that's something to strive for. George McGovern, a decorated pilot in World War II, said that he didn't think mankind was capable of eradicating violence at his birthday tribute in 2007. So maybe we should focus on something achievable, like eradicating hunger, instead.
McGovern was a politician who doesn't fit your description. Maybe ahead of his time.
He's a thin guy!
