Consumer's Bonanza

Consumer's Bonanza

April is the month for spending. There is a ton of stuff coming out that I want. Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits CD is actually out now, Matrix Revolutions DVD out April 6, Kill Bill Vol. 1 DVD out April 13 (with the sequel to be released in the theaters the following week), and Microsoft dropped the price of their Xbox gaming console to $150 today plus the price on a few games. So many toys, so much credit, so little time.

Backyard Photography

Backyard Photography
	Here are a couple of daffodils I snapped in the backyard yesterday where our temperatures reached a very balmy 80 degrees! Hard to believe we could hit that mark when less than two weeks ago we looked like this. We did a little cooking out, burgers on the

grill. Ah I missed cookout food. Mrs. Lock did some weeding, I watched. What a great day it was to be outdoors.

If the President of the United States talks about committing suicide, should Secret Service open a file on him and consider having him arrested since it is against a federal law to threaten to kill the President? If not, does this mean the President is above the law (this one in particular)?

Read my first Hmmmm Moment.

And to the law enforcement people whose company filters and conspiracy search crawlers brought them here - Hi.

Get Your Simpsons Fix

Get Your Simpsons Fix
	I'm working on a new site (blog) titled Daily Simpsons. On my personal website, I have had something similar for years; a page full of quotes from the television series The Simpsons. I collected some of the funniest quotes and put them in one place for my (and others) reading pleasure. Then I got the bright idea. It would be perfect

in blog form. So the idea of this Daily Simpsons blog is to provide one Simpsons quote a day and blog readers, especially ones who use site feeds, can get their daily Simpsons fix.

Meal And A Fortune

Had Chinese last night for a late dinner. I love to load up on the beef/chicken and broccoli dish and the lo mein noodles. At the end of the meal I got my fortune cookie.

"Enthusiastic leadership gets you a promotion when you least expect it. Lucky Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 17, 27, 37"

On the back.

"Learn Chinese - Friend = Peng-you"

Peng-you too buddy.

Petition To Oppose Federal Marriage Amendment

Here is a petition to oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment, an amendment that would be added to the U.S. Constitution if passed (thanks Mike).

An amendment to restrict yet another civil liberty? The Constitution does not need this. It doesn't even belong there. Didn't we learn our lesson with the 18th?

For your reading pleasure, revisit Jon Stewart's comments on the topic.

It Looks Like Spring
	What better way to showcase the beginning of Spring than with full color photos of flowers... that were taken indoors. Mrs. Lock and I attended the annual Flower and Patio Show on Friday. The organizers will plant whole gardens indoors for the patrons to walk around and see,

feel, smell and in my case, take pictures of the blooms. No one has anything in their garden that looks like this yet so this is our way of getting the jump on Spring.

I'm not really a flower nut, I couldn't even tell you the species name of the pictures I took (I'm sure someone reading this can), but I am a color nut and a newly claimed camera nut and this is what I've brought back to share with you.

Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May
	Druids unite. Spring is here! Our state's weather patterns are notorious. Check out our condition just four days ago. Today we'll have a high of 66.
