Not to far off from $9.00 proposed by the president.
Something is not right for the minimum wage worker @ $7.25 an hour.

Teachers speech

Who ever wrote the one I read yesterday was still a great draft for a speech.

Should be printed and sent to your local school with show of support for what is in it.

Thinking on a garden again this year

I mentioned I had trouble growing a garden where pollination was a factor in the crop grown. Thinking maybe I will plant stuff where pollination is not necessary.

Root crops, greens stuff like that.

Looks like they got the shooter

From the very start of this the police have been in full mode to get him.

But no immediate response to protect Benghazi.

We all can forget about the 3 AM phone call as it looks like they will ignore it until their convenience.
