Indiana springs forward reluctantly
**About the only thing that I liked about Indiana was that we didn’t change the clocks. I hate daylight savings time.

Afraid of history repeating itself?
As a Native American, I have one thing to say about immigration: “Get over it.†Where does all this fear come from?
Are you afraid that you won’t be allowed to speak your native language anymore? Are you afraid that your children will be taken from your homes and sent to a boarding school and forced to adopt foreign names and learn a new language?
Are you afraid that your property will be taken from you and you will be relocated somewhere that no one would choose to live? Are you afraid that you will be killed if you don’t relocate?
Are you afraid that schools will use you as a mascot and adopt an exaggerated likeness of your image?
Are you afraid that your spiritual beliefs will be considered heathen and forbidden to practice?
Even if these immigrants form a new government, eventually you will become a citizen (we Injuns became citizens 1924) and it probably won’t take you 148 years. I am sure you will have the right to vote (we got that puppy in 1975) in less than 199 years.
I hear all these good folks talking about immigration and how bad that is. I am afraid people will just give themselves ulcers worrying about it. The sensible thing to do is just get over it.

I just had to do some errands first thing this morning so I could spend all day of this beautiful morning inside staring at pixels. The wind has been coming from the east for the last 4 days so we have been covered by dust from a construction zone ½ block away so the A/C has been running not stop for 3 days and from the look of the floors and countertops and the white spots on my cats, I wish we had it on for 4 days, there is nothing like a nice layer of dirt/dust completely covering everything inside your home.
Indiana Pacers retired Reggie Millers #31 last night and TNT had it on live, very good ceremony until Gov Mitch Daniels (R) took the mic and got booed…twice… When he was suppose to be there praising Reggie he instead tried to turn it to his political gain and asked Reggie on behalf of Indiana jobs to wear a tie on TNT so more people will want to move their business to Indiana… fucking politicians… time and place people… Any way Reggie’s #31 is were it belongs hanging from the rafters.
Not much planned for this weekend, just a long list of things I need to do so I guess its time to start doing them….

We did get off our butts and went for a bike ride this morning. We really needed it.
Once we got back, we went on some errands…..and did some grocery shopping.
By the time we got done, feels like our day was about over. I did get some time in the sun, not much……..needed to finish working on some of my letters. I decided to use legal size paper, I have a bunch of it, and it makes the longest letter from 99 pages to 77……….lol So I need to get different envelopes so it’ll fit.
I have to work early tomorrow, so I need to get myself ready for bed, and that includes putting away laundry…….lol
