Wow, 2 weeks in a row, pretty unheard of in these parts. I took this on my trip to India in 2005. I had processed it back then, but for some reason never uploaded it to Flickr. So I made some adjustments to improve the 4 year old processing.

So…how are you doing?

So I’m still on my bi-annual schedule for posting pictures. Two a year is apparently my pace. This is one from our recent trip back to Wilmore (aka Mecca). Abigail had eaten a red popsicle and had nice, rosy lips.

Over the weekend, Nancy Pelosi said that we need birth control (including abortion) to improve our economy here in the USA.

Meanwhile, Japanese corporations are giving their workers more time off so they can “multiply”. The reason? To improve their economy. Japan is in the midst of a long recession with an aging population, and they are not replacing themselves fast enough. At one time, Japan had the same mentality of Nancy Pelosi. Can we be so near-sighted that we can’t see correlations to our own situation?

Are we going to have to go through the same process that Japan is trying to come out of, in order to learn the lessons that Japan is now trying to correct?

Families strengthen our country. Liberals have always targeted the nuclear family, knowing it was the primary thing keeping them from achieving their goals of creating a dependent society. Barack Obama did not win election based on his abortion policy. Indeed, it was hardly mentioned. Hopefully Americans will speak up on this vital issue, not just of abortion, but of the attitude about children and families that treats them as the scourge of society that must be contained.

*UPDATE*
John Harris has similar thoughts.

Well, here you go, the bi-annual Friday Foto. I resolve to attempt to do better. Visit the flickr page for more info on the setup for the shot.

That was easy. Plus I can post from my iPhone with the app, although so far I’ve found it mostly useless without copy/paste functionality. That will soon change, though, I’m pretty sure. So I’m gonna double post for a little while, but eventually I’ll likely move on over here permanently.

The public is reminded that a complaint contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Of course, this is a standard disclaimer that they use at the bottom of all stories about criminal charges against elected officials, regardless of party affiliation.

A late Friday Foto, but we’ve had a busy day. Here’s a shot from last night’s festivities. And a bonus photo of the fireworks. I’ll have more of these types of shots on my Flickr page.

Happy Birthday USA!
