Something to think about

All the people screaming that health care will fail are the same ones who said Obama would lose the primaries.

6. Yep

Despite the whipping too many believe this is 1993/4 and their bullshit can work twice. People are way more informed this time and getting wiser by the minute.

Forget the paid hacks disrupting town hall meetings.

5. Bill was never a threat to us

but we're thinking about our friends in Bermuda, the Cape and Nova Scotia. :hi:

7. That's good to know. Not really a threat here in Maine except they are warning people

not to boat or swim once it approaches and passes us. Should be a whopper of a rip-tide and could be some serious storm surge depending on how close it gets.

8. Stay out of the water up there in Maine

That storm surge may well be serious.

10. Right now they are saying 2 to 3 feet above the astronomical tide. Where my dad lives, that will

wash over the causeway and cut some of the islands off from each other.

12. He lives up high on a hill, and Nana is far back from the water's edge as are we, so

as long as we stay inside and the winds aren't too bad we should be fine. :)

16. Yeah, winter is long. And the humid heat wave we have had here lately hasn't been

much fun either. I'd grow gills but my clothes are all stuck to my skin and getting in the way!

9. And you know that....How?

I haven't heard anyone here say Health Care will fail. I have heard a lot of people complain that they don't know what the hell is going on and that Obama is just too complacent..Too many people saying contradictory things. No one unified message. I have heard people saying that.....I have heard people expressing their disgust with the process as they are witnessing it..I wonder if it would have developed the same way if Hillary had won the election......
