twain at 122—the broo ha ha over the homeland security scare on voting day was in lebanon, ohio, warren county.

ends up noone seems to know the name of the fbi agent who supposedly said to lock it all up………like maybe the guy that said the fbi said that had exaggerated a little, and maybe it wasn’t true after all……..

my uncle lives there.

sometimes ohio.com has most news stories.

funny…….

i haven’t seen any laying around, but you can bet he has already ordered one for him and one for mom, and i bet gma’s are in one. shoulda seen my face when he said, out of the blue, ”dayne-my nickname, did you know there aren’t many casket companies still left in the united states? and one of them is in indiana?” HUH? he cracks me up. he might have said the ONLY one in the united states……

he only buys things he has stock in….eats places he has stock in..stays in hotels he has stock in..seriously……exceptions, things made by locals, preserves and things, and some produce……..and mom and pop restaurants with good homemade pie.

and yes, he seeks out the ’one of a kind’ companies, too. like the only flag company left in the u.s…it’s an education. and interesting.

and yes, he’s a steady eddie, long term approach, in everything.

BUT he pores over the annual reports with a fine-toothed comb……

if he doesn’t like what he sees after a while, he writes them a letter, then he dumps them off.

Did your Dad also get samples from the casket maker? *g*

It’s not been that long ago that military spokesmen have claimed that the biggest, most destructive attacks are being committed by AlQaeda in Iraq AND that the Iranians are supplying the insurgents with the lethal weapons that cause the most destructive attacks.

Of course they don’t ususally make both comments in one sentence or everyone with half a brain would just laugh. It is highly unlikely that Shiite Iran would be giving the Iraqi Sunnis the weapons to kill Iraqi Shiites.

and you get free food and goodies at the annual meetings if you’re in the area when they have them……….

and you can order goodie boxes at christmastime full of new products…….

like 3m and general mills. they’re pretty cool, i like getting them.

that’s his logic.

i giggle about it, cuz he was an accountant, but he buys his stock according to what people need and consume…….
