The Great Outdoors



On the sixth of June John, Beth and Caleb,  Ron and I went to Naturealm. We enjoyed the walk through the woods and over the swinging bridge. The pictures turned out pretty dark in those deep woods, but thanks to Photoshop Elements, it was possible to lighten them quite a bit.

John was on vacation from his job in Ft Collins. It is too bad he couldn't work as a blacksmith for the city of Detroit. It is a pretty special job. And even though the pay isn't great, he could also hold another job if he just didn't like to lay around all day with nothing to do.  You see, The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department pays a 'horseshoer' $29,245 in salary and roughly $27,000 in benefits per year.  Of course, Detroit has no horses.  But thanks to union contracts, it is virtually impossible to eliminate this position.

So what makes you think we need to increase our taxes?  Seems to me we need to clean up our budgets and get rid of all the waste.  

And if you think that is bad, the federal government  throws away our money by the billions.

Don't go to bed mad.  Go to the Lord in prayer.
