The Livery @ Pymatuning. The lake and campground are completely dead. Yesterday we were one of four occupants of campsites. Today three more arrived. Can you say quiet? Loving the calm before the storm. The camp host told us tomorrow 49 campers come in for the Holiday weekend.

Renovating This House Project 2- Part 1 Living Room & Dining Room Renovations "Introduction"
Living Room and Dining Room Renovations "Introduction"
I know this is a short video, but I wanted to get things started before the girls went back to school, and lay the ground work for this next project and this video dairy of I create about it. Here is a list I will be working from. Brenda has convinced me that lists are far more effective then working from the top of my head. That is actually how I did the attic (family room). But it got done with out two many major mistakes. I know lists are more efficient, I just don’t like taking the time to create them. So you will be seeing this list a lot, it will change for sure as the project proceeds. Enjoy!
For those of you reading this in a feed reader, here is the link for the video:

A couple of themes I've been sharing
A couple of themes I've been sharing with people lately.
One is how I'm so unimpressed with physically sculptured young men with nice clothing who buy their convenience store items with a welfare card.
And that I'm not surprised or disappointed so much with how our leaders act, its how we voters act that is sad to me.
For eight unceasing years I heard so many people complaining about 30 and 40 year old problems, but now they don't cry anymore! I presume that the fact a Democrat occupies the White House gives those malcontents solace enough to shut up?
Yea like that is helpful. If you can't get your own party to address your complaints, why for any reason would someone of the other party, again I presume who doesn't share you concerns, be the one to address them?
And they get angry because a Republican isn't addressing them! Get angry with the
Democrats who stoke the anger and discontent when they are out of office, while in office they do nothing.
Until the politicians receive more pressure and uproar from their own voters(which ever party that be)we aren't going to solve any problems. If a politician feels safe with his or her loyalist he or she is complacent. If the loyalist are as unhappy as the loyal opposition, then something will get done.

Abduction Movie Extras
I am off this week burning some vacation time and was wondering if I should try to be a movie extra for the upcoming movie "Abduction", starring Twilight heart throb Taylor Lautner. A Facebook page has been set up for people wanting to be Abduction Extras.
It has been funny reading some of the comments on the Facebook Abduction Extras page. Of course, the majority of people who comment are under 18 and female. I read there are problems hiring anyone under 18: labor laws, parental permission, work permits, etc. It has been funny reading the comments that have been posted on the Facebook Abduction Extras page. Most people do not read the casting requirements and the instructions on how to be considered for a part as an extra. Over 18 means over 18, adult male part means adult male part, etc.
AskMen.com has an article on what to expect if you are selected as a movie extra. The Pittsburgh Film Office has info on local casting requirements in the area. I can not decide if this is something I want to pursue or not, so I have not sent them my contact info and physical dimensions.
"What do you think of this," asked my
"What do you think of this," asked my wife while showing me an email that points out that Mr. Obama does not use American flags nor the traditional red, white, and blue that past American Presidents have staged with at press conferences.
The email in facts contends that the current resident of the White House uses tradition Muslim colors in stead, and quite on purpose.
In my now typical indifference I answered that's his prerogative.
Its really not indifference, its cynicism.
I don't like it at all. Just like I don't like much of what he is doing, or not doing for that matter.
Especially the bowing to foreign leaders.
But in order to live in sane complacency, I've been viewing my government as the biggest horror/tragedy story of all time on the big screen.
Its a real frightening tale of corruption and ineptitude abetted by a grand facade of security and faux vision.
When your expectations are low, as the quality of our leaders mandate, it shouldn't be an enraging moment when the star of the show can't deliver the imagery and on-screen strength of a mighty empire.
I've heard politics are for bad and ugly actors.
Evidently so.
