Painfully Interesting Month

... We started August. We were broadsided by a 50 mph car. Thankfully, T' and the kids were NOT injured. Besides hitting my head, I got away with only a few bruised and broken ribs. By mechanism, it should have been alot worse.


I didn't realize what hit us, but knew we had to get out of the path of any oncoming traffic, so I hit the gas to cross & get out of the way. (I think?)


The crossover suv impacted my drivers door and pushed us a little to the right. When I realized what was going to happen, I attempted to steer our van between a natural gas line and a telephone pole. -You can see, we almost squeezed through. I took the telephone pole in the drivers side front.
It stopped us.

We're thanking God for protecting us!

When sets of challenging circumstances seem to keep adding up, and you think one more might threshold.. It wont. God's got you. It's for a testimony. Be encouraged.
Psalm 37:7 is for you, Christian.

Tax the Rich. Pony up, and join the rest of American in a shared sacrifice

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Legendary investor Warren Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A_)(BRK.B_), wrote in an opinion editorial on Monday that it's time to stop coddling the super-rich and to increase the taxes they pay.

BRK.A UPBuffett wrote his opinions in an article for The New York Times in which he called on Congress to structure a proper budget that would force the top 0.3% of income earners to accept "shared sacrifice."

"While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks," Buffett said.

Buffett said that he paid only 17.4% of his taxable income, which was lower than what the average middle-class American must pony up. An income earner who makes $8,500 to $34,500 is in the 15% tax bracket; $34,500 to $83,600 reaches the 25% bracket; and $83,600 to $174,400 falls in the 28% bracket. (2010 IRS Tax Tables)

Congress launched a bipartisan deficit-reduction panel last week to cut spending, decrease the deficit and increase the amount the U.S. Treasury can borrow. The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction is a 12-member panel created by the budget legislation politicians passed on Aug. 2 to raise the debt ceiling.

The agreement outlined some $2.4 trillion in cuts and a debt limit increase of $2.1 trillion. The panel was appointed by party leaders in the House and Senate

Crap

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?" The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death, when you don't know crap?"
