The hubby and I were enjoying the morning oatmeal and watching CNN when we get to the National Prayer breakfast and receive the short history lesson on how and why it came into being. Enjoyed the Obama speech, history lesson and all. Had to get online to check out the Palin/Judd smackdown and wondered why to lower 48 would even consider anything done by helicopter as fair play against wolves and other predators. Hunting, done on the ground, without bait and with skill is honorable and if you clean, dress and consume what you catch, no problem. As far as moose and caribou being staples on tables in Alaska, well I've been there and I don't think so. On the coast, it's fish, salmon and halibut, crab and other goodies. Smoked and canned, cleaned and frozen, it provides alot of protein for the table. Now inland, it may be moose, but it takes time and money to get to, track and kill. Hunting as a hobby is expensive.
The dog slept with us last night, on his blanket and he seems less wound up today. This is good as my dog has always been weird and has in old age, gotten even quirkier. Calm is nice for everyone.
With the unemployment news, memories of trying to obtain unemployment benefits come back. Today, I will say a prayer for everyone applying that they have more success that I did. At least, it's online now and you don't have to deal with the office staff. Any way, good luck to all who apply and success to you during your job search. Here, in our home, it's keep the head down and keep it between the ditches. The toughest thing is attempting to educate our children about what is coming and how to deal with it.
