Back for a little while....

Howdy, I got back last night from my little trip to Dijon and drive through the Berry to visit the land of the writer George Sand. I have a lot of material and I don't know where to begin. In a few hours, I will start sorting through things and I think I know what my first post will be.
I just want to thank all the people who keep coming here and pushing my blog counter up each day! Keep coming back, you won't be disappointed! I did have the best meal in a restaurant since 1986 on Saturday night in Dijon!

Mr. P! In the house!
Thanks for stopping by, I was going to post more but blogger has been acting bizarre for the last few hours and now it's almost past my bedtime.
I am going to post about my Jacques Tati Moment next.
I am waiting for more photos from some of my compatriots who I worked with this year...Photo cds in the mail? I hope.
I have a lot to post about including George Bush's statement about not being able to remember 1981...............

Hello Microdot,
I have missed your postings and will be looking forward to your satirical razor sharp wit.

I thought that I would pass on some quotes from famous people, most from the conservative side.

By the way, the first time I was old enough to vote in a national election, I did not vote for Nixon ether. 

Lee Iacocca
From his book: Where Have All The Leaders Gone?
On speaking about the George W. Bush White House:
1.“We have a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff.”

2.Saying of Bush’s speeches, “We will stay the course?” Iacocca says, “You’ve got to be kidding! This is America not the damn Titanic.”

3.“In 2000 I campaigned for George W. Bush, I have nothing personal here.” “I soon regretted this because after the first year or so I thought he was over his head frankly.”

William F. Buckley
During an interview in 2006 he was asked what he thought the legacy of the George W. Bush’s White House would be.
William F. Buckley’s reply was, “There is no legacy because there is nothing here to immolate.”

Francois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire
“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”

Thomas Jefferson
“He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.” Why am I now thinking of the Rush Limbaugh, and all of the other blowhard radio lemmings?

Enjoy

Mr. Engineer, I read the Iocacca book earlier this year and I hope that more Americans who get their information from "solid sources" pay attention. He is very firmly anti Bush ands states it in ways that should wake up and alarm middle America. So why is everybody still asleep?
