My Dad is visiting, so we're loafing about. Many hours of just sitting and chatting, sipping coffee, reading mind-rotting, scandalous (Flashman, anyone?) adventure fiction. In about a week, he'll fly up to NYC to catch the Queen Mary 2 for a voyage across the briny deep to England, thence by train to Italy for two weeks. Then a week in Austria, and then back to OWW's House of Relaxation and Sloth for a few days, and finally, a train trip across America to his home in Olympia, WA.
Went down to Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island Sunday. After lunch at the 1878 Bar and Grill, we took a one-hour boat tour (not on the Minnow). Very relaxing all the way around. The girls (9 and 6) got to steer the boat, as the owner/pilot likes kids and works very well with them, and there were maybe ten of us on a boat that has a capacity of forty.
The girls want to know when Daddy is going to acquire a boat, which caused Mrs. OWW to view me with some alarm...

If the numbers mentioned in THIS ARTICLE are true, then one of the biggest scams on the American taxpayer in years is being run by the "Undocumented" lobby.
Mexico is NOT a poor country. It has the fifth richest economy in the world, and by sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?
The article claims to have come from The Sonoran News, a weekly newspaper in Arizona. They don't have their archives posted on their site, so I can't verify that the article actually ran in the paper, since I'm not willing to spend money on long-distance charges.
