Storms are all across the US stretching from the West Coast to the East Coast….I think 12 have been killed so far. I am thankful none of my sisters are without power like they were last year…Bill is, but he is young and capable…

B of A has repaid all of it’s 45 million in Tarp money back to the Government and Citi bank plans to as early as next week….I guess this will be just in time for the CEO’s year end bonus…That was a really good idea to tag that bonus cap along with getting tarp money….Way to go Obama…

Those fire fighters in Conn. Have won their case in the Supreme court, basically saying they were discriminated against …Black fire fighters were allowed to test for promotions and the white fire fighters were not. Today several of those fire fighters are receiving their promotions.

The Secret Santa give away of $100.00 bills is still going strong in KC. Larry Stewart, millionaire started randomly giving people money. He remained anonymous till right before his death in 2007 from cancer. A friend of his vowed to carry on his good will. It seems he has been busy.

On a sour note though a man dressed as Santa in Ohio tried to kidnap a 12 year old girl. He was caught by police. I am afraid there are more men like this Santa than those Santa’s giving away $100.00 bills. It is a shame.

Ole Sanford of SC is not going to be impeached but slapped on the hand….Oh well, he found his sole mate…The House Panel said he had brought shame and disgrace to his position…Amen..

Tiger woods just keeps getting his story printed and re printed. He has always been a very private person (now we may know why) but the press is sure trying to get even with him. He is trying to lay low. That is probably best….Oh, lay low, that could almost be a play on words….

Mackenzie will be getting on a plane next Wednesday to go home for three weeks. She has not been home sick and I am glad but it will be good for her to get to go home for awhile. She will be getting to go to her new house. We have a big box of presents wrapped and packed and Missy will pack the suitcase this weekend. Mackenzie has plenty of clothes so we can pack early with no problem. I hope she will be ready to come back after three weeks....
