Canoeing the Etowah...

WOW! What a treat. We spent almost 3 hours paddling about 8.5 miles down the Etowah river. It was shallow in some spots but we didn't have any problems getting through .
There was one spot where we had to get 'Tank' over a large fallen log but theres another log next to it that helps.

The weather was perfect and I know that as summer comes this stretch of river will get some good use.

BTW: if you click the pic, it will blow it up and you can see a deer drinking from the river...

Cheers!

[Fwd: Thank you for Contacting Governor Perdue]

This is the response I received after sending Governor Perdue an email through the state website.....I had sent him an email about supporting HB89 which will allow those of us with concealed firearms licenses to carry in places like restraunts, public transportation (MARTA), and parks/WMA's.  People need to realize that laws prohibiting concealed weapons only affects people that obey the law.  Its the perps that don't care about the law and carry wherever they want.  Why not make the field level.  The chances of being harmed by a person with a concealed weapons license are essentially ZERO.  Being harmed by someone that is not licensed is WAY higher.

Amway Grand Plaza Hotel - Grand Rapids

Can you believe, this hotel charges you for internet access? you gotta be kidding me. $10 for 24 hours of access. Granted, the place is beautiful. The staff are fantastic. But, charge me for internet access????? Come on! Get with the program! My local coffee shop, Taco Mac, and countless other establishments will give up free wireless to attract customers and this HUGE hotel has to charge the guests? WTF?

Grossly disappointed.

Does this make sense to you???

In order to be a good liberal....

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese Government is somehow in the best interest to the United States .

21. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

22. You have to believe that it's okay to give Federal workers the day off on Christmas Day but it's not okay to say "Merry Christmas."

Ready to vote???
