Nice project, too bad you didn't have Kerry and Kennedy pork barrel some
funds for you ;-)

Well, I am lucky enough to still have a job given that I don't work
for Halliburton.

And I do count my lucky stars every day that Bush & Co. have been too
busy in the National State Parks and haven't had time yet cut down all
the beautiful 3-4 ft diameter Poplar trees around my property ... you
know ... for "forest fire prevention".

So, you know, life is indeed grand!
