2008 Year in Review

Editorial

“Coyotes!” That’s what my young son said to me as we were building his swing set one evening last week. Because of my schedule, and the shortened days of late, we build on his swing mostly in the dark. This means that it goes together half as fast, and we tend to make more mistakes. But it is getting done. So we are working in the dark, and suddenly all three of us stood silent. A group of coyotes were making a bunch of noise, and they seemed to be pretty close. How close? When I walked around to the side of the building, they all quieted up. They were close enough to see me. I love nature, even coyotes. They may not be my favorite animal due to the damage they do to the wild bird populations, but they are beautiful wild animals. It’s fun to listen to them.

It appears that the bail out has been ironed out in the financial bailout of our economy. It’s no wonder that people get sour on legislative deals like this when we find out that there are provisions in this agreement for tax breaks for movie companies and major support for the wooden arrow industry. For heaven’s sake!

Don’t let the wooden arrow industry suffer! Our economy will collapse for sure! Some actions are difficult to understand. I think we are back into the weather that I like the best of all. It’s the weather where you can be comfortable no matter how you dress. Not too hot or cold. I wish I could capture some in a bottle and use it in the middle of winter.

Thanks so much for reading and supporting The Morrison Post. Have a great week.
