When I go to Topeka for business meetings sometimes I have a couple of hours in between meetings. Here are a few photos I have taken over the past week or so during that time. These were taken in Lawrence out by Clinton Lake.

BEST BUY CAR

FROM THE TRACK

BASS PRO CAR

NASCAR IS HERE!!!

This will be the first time in the last couple of years that I have not gone to the races so I am going through a bit of withdraw. To ease the pain I went around to the different promo events that they put on and took some pictures and even went out to the track. The Best Buy car pictures are courtesy of my GREAT Sister and Brother in Law .

Tuesday - Harley Davidson BBQ in Topeka
Wednesday - Red Robin - Topeka

ILLEGALS SEEK Quasimodo defense

Some KC area church leaders pledge to offer sanctuary to illegal immigrants By LYNN FRANEYThe Kansas City Star Standing under their Interstate 70 billboard declaring, “Love the immigrant as yourself,” several Kansas City area church leaders pledged Tuesday to offer sanctuary to illegal immigrants threatened with deportation.None of the Kansas City churches has yet sheltered an illegal immigrant.But other churches in the New Sanctuary Movement nationwide have let illegal immigrants live on their properties, hoping that immigration agents won’t raid churches to make arrests.“It is the very soul of our nation that is at stake” in how we treat families in which one or both parents are illegal immigrants but the children are American citizens, said the Rev. Rick Behrens of Grandview Park Presbyterian Church. “We are losing our soul as we separate children from parents.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Churches across the city will now be featuring new roofs and daily landscaping.

MORE ILLEGAL ALLIEN ANTICS

By Av Harris Wed Sep 26, 8:47 PM ET DANBURY, Connecticut (Reuters) - Ten Hispanic immigrants filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against a Connecticut city, its mayor and police chief, and federal agents who led a crackdown on illegal immigration last year. The suit filed in U.S. District Court in New Haven, Connecticut, claims the arrests violated the civil rights of nine workers and a 10th man who was stopped at a traffic light, including their right to due legal process, free speech and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, according to court documents. It is the latest legal challenge to crackdowns on illegal immigrants, as localities nationwide grapple with how to handle their status
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is funny to me. They want to use our laws to sue us but don't want to recognize the laws prohibiting them from being here.

DADDY THE HERO

Those are the words from Rebecca today as I came home with Speedy. Speedy is the creature that I arrived home with this afternoon that scared my wife (she didn't know what was in the bag). The tale of Speedy is a sad one, a tale that would of meant certain doom if it weren't for me. You see Speedy was attempting to cross a road and not having much luck in doing so. Speedy isn't equipped to dodge speeding SUV's and Semis and his one defensive mechanism isn't suitable for the highway. I stumbled upon him on my way back from Topeka today on Highway 24 and rescued him from his near death.

Speedy is a Turtle and he will be staying with us until Friday when we take him to Shawnee Mission Park.

Interesting Speedy Tidbits
1. He is mean
2. He is actually pretty fast
3. He managed to climb out of the paper bag I had him in before I got home and was about to climb out of my trunk.
4. Bridget jumped up on the back of the sofa when I let him loose on the living room floor.

TONY G

Tonight is dance night for the girls and Kerry usually brings home Fast Food. I hate Fast Food so I ran up to Whole Foods to make a salad. While up there I ran into Tony Gonzalez and his wife. I spent prob 10 minutes talking to him as we waited for the Salad Bar to be restocked. He was a real nice guy. The subject of the ball being thrown to him was brought up and he was hopeful that it continued.

AIR NATIVE?

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Nike on Tuesday unveiled what it said is the first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a population with high obesity rates. The Beaverton-based company says the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look. It will be distributed solely to American Indians; tribal wellness programs and tribal schools nationwide will be able to purchase the shoe at wholesale price and then pass it along to individuals, often at no cost. "Nike is aware of the growing health issues facing Native Americans," said Sam McCracken, manager of Nike's Native American Business program. "We are stepping up our commitment ... to elevate the issue of Native American health and wellness."

Nike said it is the first time it has designed a shoe for a specific race or ethnicity. It said all profits from the sale of the shoe will be reinvested in health programs for tribal lands, where problems with obesity, diabetes and related conditions are near epidemic levels in some tribes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't even know they wore shoes. Are they simply putting a swoosh on the side of a Moccasin?

RUINING AN APPETITE

A restaurant has been ordered to take down a photo of Chelsea Clinton that has been hanging in the establishment for 5 years. The photo is of her with the owner of the restaurant at his joint in Greenwich Village.

I can only hope that this guy hung it up as a Halloween decoration because that is not exactly the type of scenery one wants to see while eating.

Marine Corp Banned in America

Marines Barred From Filming Commercial on Streets of San Francisco Tuesday, September 25, 2007

They're the strong and the proud, but the Marines aren't free to stand on the streets of San Francisco.

The Silent Drill Platoon of the U.S. Marine Corps wasn't allowed to be filmed Sept. 11 on California Street in San Francisco for a segment of its new advertising campaign, a Marine spokesman told FOXNews.com.

Instead, the elite group took its austere display to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area for the final segment of its "America's Marines" TV commercial. The group is on a two-month nationwide tour as part of the campaign.

Unbelievable

Things that annoy me Part II

1. Bicyclist that feel that riding on the road means they get a whole lane to themselves. This isn’t the Tour De JOCO. If you must ride in the street stay close to the gutter.
2. The fast food Drive Through. You have 2 simple tasks in your job. Take money, put CORRECT ORDER IN THE BAG, THAT’S IT. Yet this simpleton isn’t even capable of handling this.
3. 55mph on 435 or I 35. Why this person even attempts to navigate the highway is beyond me. They look out onto the highway like scared deer with a death grip on the steering wheel as cars fly right by them at a whopping 65mph. These people cause more accidents than speeders.
4. People from St. Louis that think their city is on the East Coast. Last time I checked our sewage runs down stream.
5. Celebs that help Africa first and the citizens of this country 2^nd. Hey Oprah, I am sure that the Chicago public schools wouldn’t mind if you helped them out. I am sure your limo drives by thousands of homeless people on the way to the studio that could use some of your Africa money.
6. People that hate JOCO but work here and spend the majority of their time in the community. Why work in a community that you hate? That’s right, the community you live in has no jobs.
7. The makers of deodorant that do not automatically put in antiperspirant. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Is there really a segment of our society that doesn’t mind having sweat stains on there shirts as long as they smell like an Irish Spring?
8. People that will spend 5 minutes digging through there pockets in order to produce “EXACT CHANGE” at the cash register. This moron thinks that it is some sort of sport and does a fist pump once they find it.
9. PEOPLE THAT WRITE CHECKS OUT ONCE IT IS THEIR TURN TO PAY. This ass clown has been in line staring at nothing for 8 minutes yet the thought never crosses their mind to break out the check book and get everything filled out except the total. GOOD LORD!
10. People that press 2 in the elevator. Seriously you can’t walk up that one flight of steps?
11. Discount scan cards: Why do I need to carry a little card that I paid nothing for, that anyone can get that is scanned before I can get a discount? Am I part of some special club? Are people suppose to see the Price Chopper card in my wallet and be impressed?

Warmer-than-normal winter predicted for KC By BILL GRAHAM-The Kansas City Star
A warm end to summer in Kansas City could be followed by a similar winter, forecasters say.The National Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md., is predicting warmer-than-normal temperatures for Kansas City from December through February.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anybody that has lived here longer than 6 months knows to take whatever weather people say and reverse it. Warm Winter = Snowfall by Halloween.

Katrina Cotteges

I want to post a before picture because in 5 years these houses will look nothing like this. These are the homes that the people that lived in the projects will be getting from the government. A whole town in Kansas was rebuilt by its citizens but the people of New Orleans that need these houses continue to watch Montel in there FEMA trailers until these houses are delivered.

What are they thinking?

If you are part of a company that is at its all time low and has been losing its market share to its competitors for the past couple of decades, do you think you need a raise? The brilliant union leadership for the GM workers think so. If the Unions want to give there workers better pay and more benefits how about using the dues that they pay for that instead of lining the pockets of politicians.

I hope this thing drags out for an extended period of time and yet another Union falls to the wayside.

CAN YOU ALL SPELLZ RITE?

Spelling Test


I will be the first to admit that spell check has ruined me. I did however finish better than I thought. Enjoy.

ROID RAGE

Kansas City has ties to DEA steroid bust.

The Chiefs offense has been cleared of any involvement in Steroid use after officials were sent game tape of the past 3 weeks.

Columbia University - Terrorist Safe haven

The fact that these idiots would invite Hitler to speak doesn't surprise me. These people hate America and welcome with open arms those that seek to destroy us. At least the Iranian leader is open about his hate for us, the cowards at Columbia are hiding behind freedom of speech. The problem with that defense is that the dictator is not an American citizen and is not protected by our constitution.

Liberals support this guy but HATE our generals that guide our army's to protect our country.

Hispanic Activist Gone Wild Brought to you in part by Liberals

Liberals never stop amazing me. Lou Dobbs nails this one.

The people of Kansas City better wake up because this is coming to a neighborhood near you. The militant talk from the Hispanic extremist in this community is all ready starting.

WEEKEND THINGS OF NOTE

• I went 7-3 in my office Pick Em which once again put me in 2nd place. This will be the 4th straight week that I finish 2nd. The first place winner has not been the same all year.
  
• I went to the Plaza Art Fair and didn't see any Art. That is a win in my book.
• We went to the Bristol for dinner on Saturday night and dined on Steak, Lobster shrimp etc for free thanks to some gift cards my employer gave me awhile back. The food was good but I still prefer McCormick & Schmick's.
• The lawn mowing in my neighborhood is pathetic.
  
• The Rhythm Rockets are a worth seeing.
• The Chiefs defense is the best I have seen since Marty left. They are currently ranked #4 in the NFL.
  
• Nebraska is the most over rated team in college football. Ball State???
• It is possible to watch 4 NFL games on Sundays.
  
• I still have not fired up my new smoker!
• It is time to start planning my October Chili/Sausage event.
• My wife spent over 10 hours on the computer yesterday. I have realized that I am a scrapbooker enabler. She is now going to be hooked on digital scrap booking due a new tablet that I got her.
