I'm new to this, but I'll just jump right in and start something. I hope I am not violating some local internet custom... Consider the following as you ponder the economic system that so-called Christians are building:

Drew Hendricks and I were hanging out this morning in Sylvester Park. We were seated on a bench, sharing coffee and conversation. A large man in uniform strode towards us. State patrol. No smile. No introduction. He stopped in front of us, blocking us, his hands on his hips. Which meant one hand on holstered gun. Still no smile. Sgt. Dahl spoke with Drew, said what he wanted to say. I tried to introduce a friendly note but Sgt. Dahl had no interest in meeting me. I would have stood up, introduced myself, shook his hand, shared some community spirit and appreciation. But there was something about being seated, looking up at a large unsmiling armed man in uniform that made me sit still. I hope next time that smiles and friendly conversation can be shared. I very much appreciate the dedication and hard work of any law enforcement member who is good at his or her job. I would have liked a chance to express this to Sgt. Dahl. I have to say that I'm nervous about writing this. Will I get into trouble? Should I just be intimidated and keep my mouth shut?

It seems from my experience so far that the phrase "Fetid Lake of Doom" belongs, rather uniquely, to OlyBlog.
» For example, I was walking around the "Fetid Lake of Doom" last night and I pulled a bicycle out of the lake. Literally. The poor thing was about 10-15 feet out from the wall with it's tires pointing straight up. So I took out the rope I keep in my trunk, put a loop in it, with a crescent wrench also from my trunk attached to the loop to help the rope sink, got the rope around the front tire after a few tries and much support from the small crowd of onlookers that had gathered, and hauled it up on to the wall. The bike had clearly been in there a few days. Interestingly enough, the tires still have full air.

Yesterday was a bit crazy on the picket line at Ralph's. We really need you there tonite!! Undercover Security telling the anti-abortionists to report any violence to them. Anesthiestiologists telling me to go somewhere else, asking me if we are coming for him next and going to force him to do abortions...umm, I don't think so! i sure hope he doesn't decide to cut the anesthesia though just cuz you're a woman, or pro or anti-choice, or maybe he doesn't like nazi's...the possibilities are endless aren't they if you don't have someone who is professionally trained doing their JOB. Pharmacists provide medications. They don't judge, they don't make moral choices for other people! We also had to fight to be the first seen up the hill...sure could use some more folks up there today! It was a bit scary by myself for awhile! Another highlight were the 3 Big White Male Preachers with big pictures of cute little babies. Wow. And to think we only want a legal prescription filled at Ralph's pharmacy. I just met a woman who has worked with Storman and she said he is hard to pursuade. She also said he does respond to things like this - boycotts affecting the bottom $$$ So start boycotting if you haven't already!! Please join us tonite!! |
