That's great, Jim! Charlie's at it again. He tries to trip us up and he's good at it, lol!!

Good morning everybody!!! Have a great week!

With a mouth that big, maybe Leo ate the seedling....

Good Morning one and all!!

Wonderful photos, especially the orange oak leaves (1 of my favourite leaves).

We just got home from the U.P. Had a good time, took pictures, which Bill says another 200 pictures. ;O) and just had a nice time. The new gas station in Lake Linden is looking good and the new windows on the high school look good, too. Good to be home.

Not much to report from Michigan's capital city. We state employees are waiting to see if the Governor and the Legislature can get their ducks in a row about the budget. Our fiscal year ends September 30. If they don't have it ironed out, they tell us we will have additional furlough days until it is. We had six unpaid furlough days this summer already. Seems to me it would make more sense to raise the sales tax so the burden is not carried by the state employees, but by everyone who lives here AND visitors who enjoy our state. That way a lot of folks pay a little instead of a little of us paying a lot. My two cents on the subject....

Cindy----The Gov. and the senators and the represenatives are employed by the state, too. Do they get to have furlough days ,too?

Not so far they haven't...at least not the legislature (don't know about the Gov). I heard Mike Bouchard, who is running for governor, says he thinks the budget should be figured out by mid-May and for every day it runs past the deadline of September 30, the legislators should lose a day of pay. I expect that would have to be an executive order since I'm sure the legislature would never vote for that, but they have voted themselves big fat raises during these years where the rest of us had to take cuts.
