just got off the phone with b- he's on the brand new tugboat doing sea trials with the coast guard out in the sound, apparently at 20% the line snapped (5" thick rope) It didn't hurt anyone, thank goodness. (but is taking a bit of time to get up from the bottom of the sound)

then the other news- the beavers that breeched their family dam here on and caused mudslide wrecking 10 homes. (LOL- Im' only laughing because I rarely listen or watch the news, so to have a phone call from Michigan telling me they saw it on CNN was odd!)

Holy cow, what're they going to tow with that thing? Islands?

I find it absolutely staggering but also a little bit depressing that in 2009 there's even such
a debate over this issue. Where as I can understand, either through ignorance or lack of
education, some peoples attititudes towards homosexuality, I can't see how two people
who happen to be gay being married actually effects anyone. What harm is it doing to them?
I see those who vote against gay marriage as not being against just that, they are against ANYTHING gay, even homosexuality itself.

In some states it's legal to marry your horse but not your partner, WTF?

yup. that guy with the kid was heartbreaking...he told the guy that he's been without a job and needs to support his daughter. i'm not condoning what he did at all...he held a guy up and gunpoint for pete's sake. still, it's sad.

I often have dreams about plane crashes, which are very emotional (I can feel my emotions when I dream) and sometimes come true. I had one of these dreams Thursday night, then this happened and the Fed Ex plane, which crashed yesterday as well.

Some will say this is coincidence; maybe it is. But it's happened so many times over the past 20 years that maybe it's more than just coincidence. Whenever I have these dreams, I always tell people that morning so there are people out there that have been witness to this happening to me on numerous occasions. It really sucks that I know there's a good possibility something will happen after I have these dreams but can't do anything about it.
