Autumn Pine Needles

The leaves look lovely as they change color and turn the landscape into a bowl of many colors. The needles of our pine tree turn yellow though the sight is unwelcome.  They fall poisoning the grass lawn below.  We live at the edge of a pine forest.  The grass makes for the unnatural habitat as does the Maple Tree.  It is as if there is a battle going on between the natural habitat of the Pine Tree and the injected habitat attempted by me and others in the neighborhood.  Who will win?

Amigos

Hoy tuve el privilegio de comunicarme instantáneamente a través del internet con un amigo argentino.  Fue una señal de que el mundo es mucho más chico hoy día.  Y con sitios de web como "Skype" se puede hablar y ver a la vez.  Cuando vivía en la Argentina hace 22 años una llamada telefónica costaba muchísimo y fue la única comunicación instantanea.  Me alegro por las avanzadas en la comunicación.

Joe shows his humanity

When Joe  Biden talked about being a single parent and worrying whether his son would make it, he got emotional and showed his humanity.  The response was in the context of talking about his "achilles heal."  He was honest about his current economic status for which he is grateful and then talked about where he had come from.  Whether or not the pundits declare him winner of the debate, at that moment he won my heart.

Vice Presidential Debate

Twenty minutes into the Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin it looks like both are holding their own.  They both seemed well schooled on the issues.  The expectations for Sarah Palin were extremely low, so the fact that she is responding intelligently bodes well for her.  Stay tuned . . .
