18 AugHybrid Car Owners Create Washington Political Lobby

Organization will push for the existing and new incentives for users of alternative fuel cars. Hybrid vehicle owners have it pretty good: tax credits, unlimited access to car pool lanes and free parking in some places. Now they’ll have their own lobbying group in Washington.

I say it’s about time!

18 AugRoxie

Roxie the Dog

Earlier this week, we agreed to take in a dog that is a Shepard mix from someone who cannot keep her any longer. Her name is Roxie, and she is getting aong with our other dog, Potter just fine.

I think she is quite stressed out, because she is having accidents at night. We have had her for thre nights now, and have had this probelm each night.

I hope she comes out of this, because she is otherwise a very good dog!

17 AugUpdate on P-nut’s broken leg.

I thought I’d give an update on P-Nut, since it’s been over a week now in his new cast.

He has come to grips with the fact that he has to wear this cast. He doesn’t seem to be in much pain anymore, and we have scaled his meds back to only at night tme, since he still has muscle spasms at night.

He had a followup appointment with the doctor last week, he said the bone is healing nicely.

Little P-nut is scheduled to have his cast removed on Sept 6th!

10 AugMike Wallace is an Iranian

I was listening to the interview with Mike Wallace today on the Sean Hannity show, and they were discussing his recent interview with Iranian madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I was completely floored with the way Wallace was portraying this evil menace as a peae loving man who didn’t wish harm on Jews. Can there be a greater disconect with reality?

06 AugP-nut took a spill

Well, for those who don’t know me personally, my youngest son will be two years old this month. The other day, he took a fall(we think off the couch) and he ended up with a spiral fracture on is femur.

We took him to the local Childrens Hospital outpatient care place, they did up some X-rays and started him on morphine. They though it wold be best not to move him too much, so P-nut got his first ride in an ambulance! My wife rode with him downtown Cincinnati to the hospital, and I met them there.

Shortly after we arrived, the medical staff decided that surgery was not required, but instead they opted for a spica cast.

We had to stay overnight, while the cast set up and they also wanted to keep an eye on him. In the morning, they wanted to make sure he went to the bathroom and was eating/drinking. After the morning, he still was not eating so they decided that his cast was to tight around his diaper area, as well as his tummy. This resulted in a horrifying experience, becasue there was a team of about four grown men come into the room with ower equipment to trim up his cast! They split open the part of the cast around his belly and placed wedges in it and re-wrapped it.

Finally, abut 10PM we were released from the hospital. Obviously, he can’t walk around or anything, but he has found some comfort in sitting in a simple umbella stroller.

He is to be in this cast for 4-6 weeks and we hope time flies!

Here is a picture of P-nut after getting home from the hospital-
