You might not have noticed but there is a big presidential election going on.  Mostly it makes me crazy because the players are just "DISSING" the other side rather than telling me what they want to do to make this a better world.  One of the things I would like more of is OPEN DEBATE on all the issues, but they players and by their representatives.  This website wants that too...  opendebates.org

WOW what a fun thing to do...this is going to catch on big and you heard it here first!  It's called LETTERBOXING and already there are letterboxes spread through out the world.  Short story is that you hide a box with a rubber stamp in it and a blank diary type book.   Folks follow clues to find your box, use your stamp to fill in their book, AND then stamp their stamp in your book.   It's like collecting autographs but you will never have to cross some of them out because they got into trouble like our "sports heroes" seem to do.  Check it out...get involved!   FIND MY BOX IF YOU CAN

Today's website is here for 2 reasons.  Do you know what a BLOG is?  It's short for weBLOG...a diary of sorts that folks keep on the internet for everyone to see.  There are now thousands of such "blogs" and some are most interesting, as the years go by, I'm sure that sociologists will analyze the daylights out of them.  But in the mean time it's just for FUN.  This particular BLOG is by a friend of mine in Northern Minnesota.  I think you'll find it interesting both in finding out what a BLOG is and in following Eric's thoughts!

I don't know about you but I really don't (or at least didn't) know much about whooping cough.  This website even has recorded samples of folks with an extremely bad cough, but NOT whooping cough, and then great audio samples of folks with the WHOOP!  I learned a lot about it and thought it would be valuable to you too!  I got to go...I got to wash my hands...later.  WhoopingCough.net

Sometimes we do sites just for fun and today is totally in that vein.  I got some of the most unusual answers to Test questions, to History questions and to general Science questions.  I laughed and laughed at the way some folks put together words to fulfill the requirement that you at least got to say SOMETHING on each question on a test.  SCIENCE ANSWERS   TEST ANSWERS  History ANSWERS

WOW what a weekend, Julia Child has closed her kitchen!  At almost 92 years old, she said goodbye to the world and went on a galactic tour.   Over the years she said some pretty funny things and here's actual sound files of some of the best!
What's that Julia, I must have misheard you!   

A couple of years ago she moved from her apartment on the East Coast to a retirement center in California.  When that happened, we all got to be part of the "garage sale!"  And the winner of the kitchen was...The Smithsonian Institute!  They have restored her entire kitchen, right down to the outlines of the pots and pans that her husband had drawn on the wall years earlier!   I don't know about you, but I'm not going to get there to see it for a while, but now with the MAGIC of radio...You can stand in the middle of Julia's kitchen and zoom in on any section that interests you!  Goodbye Julia!

FIRST A DISCLAIMER: Today's COOL SITE-PICK OF THE DAY is Bawdy!  It borders on adult humor.  DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE if you are easily offended or sensitive!  However it's been on the major news outlets all weekend and it is one of the funniest - poke fun at the political system - just make you laugh - websites I've seen in years.    BE WARNED! 
A couple of brothers have just a little to much time on their hands.   They create "spoof" commercials, mostly in a political vein.  Their latest tops the list.  It's a singing gem featuring the two candidates running for president this year.  As it turns out, it also happens to be Sen. Kerry's favorite song, but that happened by accident.   It will take a while to load, have your sound turned down and enjoy!   OK I WON'T CLICK HERE WITHOUT AGREEING TO THE DISCLAIMER

I know it's not fall yet, but in just a couple of weeks the intense green that is across our fields is going to start changing to a moderate brown and then finally burst out in wonderful golden hues.  This time of the year is when I set aside the Wine bottle opener and pick up the "churchkey!"  Beer, Bier, however you spell it, it's that good blend of barley and hops that goes down so refreshing.   Here's a website with 2000 + beers for you to study.   Pick Carefully!  HEY MAC, POP THE TOP ON ANOTHER ONE

Some of us have just TOO MUCH TIME ON OUR HANDS.  Can you imagine taking all the sounds that make up Micro soft Windows and playing them all pretty much at the same time, but in a controlled condition so that you have an entire SYMPHONY playing in front of you.  Watch the cursor move like the conductor of your digital orchestra.  A MUST Experience!!  DA DA DA DUM

What a website, it collects pictures that people have taken with their new cell phone cameras, and displays them in an art show.  (there's also a collection that they've asked famous people to submit) Send in yours and we'll see if it gets added.  Part of an art show in Los Angeles.  Watch fast, they change every 5 seconds

So as one of the many Americans who is NOT the president, I would imagine that the 4th of July is an opportunity that only comes by once a year to make some GREAT, POSITIVE, very exposed moments with us regular citizens.   Do you think that's what most Presidents did on the 4th.....well here's the "activity" list all the way back to George. 
Hey honey, let's go watch the fireworks!
