Brent's Bobcat

Brent got his first bobcat last weekend. He is so excited about it. It was only about 15 yards away. It was coming straight towards him (to eat him, maybe?!). It's really big for a bobcat. It has a tiny entrance hole and no exit wound. He's having it mounted in a full body mount. He had so much fun!

Remember!

I know some of you have seen this before. If so, just pass me by this time. This is for everyone else!

My cousin Brandy, who hosts a morning television show in UT, posted this on her blog, and I wholeheartedly agree with her. I hope she doesn't mind that I'm posting this here too, but I feel the need to spread the word, and I love how she put it. I thought this would be appropriate today, on the anniversary of one of our nations worst tragedies. Please take a moment to read and ponder what she has to say. Here goes:

Media is trying to brain wash people!




I've been very frustrated today and disheartened with the liberal media’s blatant bias. Never before have we seen such an overt, over-the-top, seemingly coordinated effort by press in totality to back the play of a politician. It is shameless how they are working for Barack Obama and against John McCain. As a newscaster it's an outrage to me. Hosting a live 2.5hr morning show Monday through Friday requires me to stay on my political feet. So, for the past two weeks I've been getting by on 3 or 4 hours of sleep each night so I can watch the conventions both democratic and republican. Never in my life have I witnessed such a bias. I used to really respect Tom Brokaw. After listening to his coverage throughout the 2 weeks of conference I have no respect for the man. After Barack Obama finished his speech last week the libs were singing his praises, putting him on a pedestal. When John McCain finished last night, they didn't have a kind word to say and basically ripped him apart. Now, because this is my blog I can state my opinion. Our country is in trouble! We need a President who will fight for us, our freedoms, and our way of life. I'm not saying I agree with John McCain on everything. But, please weigh the candidates. Evaluate both of their stands on issues. It shouldn't be a popularity vote! Obviously, Obama is better looking, better spoken but his ideas are way off course. Think about taxes, his homeland security, military background, experience, his feelings on abortion. The United States of America is playing a game of Russian Roulette. I didn't wear the uniform and serve our Country to watch it fall apart. If you didn't watch the convention speeches please read them. See what each has to say. Watch the upcoming debates. We have 2 months to make our decision. You may think it doesn't matter but I'm hear to tell you I believe it's a life or death decision. Why am I being so dramatic you may ask? Think about this. Russia is threatening us everyday as is Iran, North Korea, Cuba. They want you to vote for Barack Obama. He thinks he can solve the problems diplomatically and wants to pull out all of our troops. Diplomacy is great but you can't reason with terrorists!!! These countries are acquiring nuclear weapons at a rapid pace and if we don't stay on the offensive then we will be back on defense like we were before 911. No body wants war but we must protect ourselves. I honestly believe John McCain is the best Presidential pick that we have and we must vote for him. He knows that Washington needs turned upside down. The dems and the repubs have both screwed things up and need reform. I am hopeful he will do it. I like the fiscal responsibility that McCain and Sarah Palin say they will bring. When stories or commentary come from the media please take them with a grain of salt. They are doing everything within their power to make McCain seem inept and Obama as the countries savior of change...the Messiah as they've called him. Don't be fooled and don't fall into the trap they are setting! We must think, evaluate and decide for ourselves. Millions of American's have died to ensure our rights, and freedoms. Voting is very important. Making an informed vote is even more important. I hope and pray for our Country and for the World that we all do our part as Americans. I love America!!!

Uggg... Chemistry!

So I'm taking an online chemistry class. It's so much harder than I thought it would be! It has a lot more math than I realized. I haven't taken a math class in almost five years. Luckily, Brent's really good at math and he's been a huge help. Secoldly, I learn much better with math subjects if I can watch the teacher do it several times first, then I know how. With this chemistry class I just read the book and I'm supposed to figure it out on my own. I'm really glad that this is the only class I'm taking right now, because I'm spending 3-7 HOURS every day on homework, and trying to figure out what the heck I'm doing. Ugggg!
