Help!

Hello,

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, My family and i came down here to wales United Kingdom for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at a the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash, credit card on us got stolen including our cell phone, luckily for us we  still have our passport with us.

We've been to the embassy and the police here in wales but they're not helping issues at all but we;re having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills, I'm freaked out at at the moment.

Bob Ackerley.

Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day Weekend is over. The party has ended and all have gone home. We decided to celebrate Lisa's 50th birthday and Memorial Day holiday Saturday and Sunday and had a great time. Lots of old friends came and we enjoyed spring-like weather - not too hot and not too cold. Thirty two people came to the house on Sunday and 12+ girls spent Saturday with Lisa led by JoDee who planned the day and evening. Nice events!

Monday, we boated to Orowood Resort for breakfast with Jenn then went for a Delta cruise before returning home. Today will be recuperation day. We got up at 3:15AM and Lisa drove Jenn to SFO for a 6:15AM flight back to Minneapolis. Much too early for me.

Road Trip

Getting ready for a 11-13 hour road trip tomorrow that will keep us away from home for 10-14 days, I think of what I'd like to have with me and end up over-packing by at least 50-100%. It will be good to get away from all that is Obama and the insanity of today's politics and relax, read and see new people and places.

I discovered Amazon's Kindle software for my Blackberry 9700 and love it. I also tried out B&N's Nook software but it doesn't compare with the intuitive ease of downloading and reading books that Kindle does. I am already 51% of the way through my first book and find it a very gratifying way to read a book. Now, how do I resell books I've read or trade them with others? Is there a service for that? There must be. I accidentally downloaded the same book twice and Amazon immediately responded to my request for help and resolved it favorably. I love Amazon!

Obama are

The Obama health care bill (H.R. 3952) was passed by the House of Representatives on Sunday night after much arm twisting, bribery and outright lying by our President and Speaker of the House. President Obama signed it into law Monday, March 22, 2010, a day that shall forever live in infamy. Like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, this event will forever change the course of history. It marks the beginning of the end of the United States as we know it. Just as Rome fell, we are on the path to socialism and bankruptcy. I, as a patriot of this great country, will do everything in my power to turn the ship of state away from the cliff it is headed for. Enough of the Liberal agenda. Enough of the Statists who want nothing but more and more handouts, bigger and bigger government and less and less freedom. Tyranny will not stand.
