Okay so this Photo is part of my "Great Beaches I have loved and want to share with you" Series.....This is Alki Beach in West Seattle Washington, it is beautiful.( The city in the background is Downtown Seattle, and that is indeed how it looks in Summer). I spent many many days there with my son as he was growing up, it was the perfect place for sandcastles and digging for treasure. In the summer, we used to go there early morn after the Lowest Tides and look for Treasure. At the turn of the Century there was an Amusement Park there, Luna Park, and at the end of the Pier where the Roller Coaster was, there is supposedly much treasure ( or things that Fell of while Coasting). So out we would go with buckets and shovels and High Hopes. One year we went and we found all kinds of goodies, marbles, womens Victorian Combs, even a pipe and some broken dishes. But the Biggest Treasure was found by my son and he held IT in his arms with great pride.....The Rim of an Ancient Victorian Shiney Porcelain Toilet ....( for years it was part of every garden that we ever had).

Speaking of Treasures....
I have new posts up below- mostly Video Treasures.....There is Obama about Phil Gramm's Idiot Out of Touch Statements on the Economy, there is Al Franken speaking about Fixing DC....I have to say maybe the Comics always have the most Wisdom....Real Wisdom, maybe that is why we miss George Carlin ( so there is a little bit of him below too)......There is also a video about the CBS News video about the HUSH Money being paid to the FDA......if you scroll down further there is some Great Cooking and some Other Goodies....

This weekend I will be blogging about FISA, and the Fannie Mae Mess.....but for now it is Friday.....

So the Music is "Hootie and the Blowfish" ( watch this clip- it has a very very young Keith Olbermann in the Intro....it will make you laugh...)



And your Dose of George Carlin Wisdom for the weekend :::

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. "


"I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect. "

"If God had intended us not to masturbate he would've made our arms shorter. "

"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little."
