Last weekend (October 4th) Sean and I decided to make a visit to Mt. Charleston…which is just off of Hwy 95 West of our house. It is typically about 20-30 degrees cooler there so it resembles Illinois just a little bit. We hiked a trail that was about 8,000 ft above sea level…the peak is about 11,000 ft above sea level…the trail was about 1/4 mile and lead to a pretty little waterfall. It was much cooler up there than it was at home and absolutely beautiful. We hiked about 1/2 mile total and then enjoyed driving through the mountains too. It was a great day. We made it our Scenic Drive since we were missing the Spoon River Scenic Drive back in Illinois….that we look forward to each year. I have included a few pictures that I took while on the mountain. I took about 60 pictures probably so I narrowed it down to just a few!
Weekend Getaway October 13, 2008
We have…..SNOW!!!! October 12, 2008
In the mountains that is! But hey this Illinois Girl is missing the snow so being able to see snow in the mountain is AWESOME! It is really pretty. I think it is actually cooler here than it is back in Illinois from what I have been told. Yesterday and today the highs have been in the 60s even though I think it closer to 50s. We had friends over last night and even had a fire in the fireplace! I LOVE….I mean LOVE the cooler weather. So I am very happy that we are getting some nice cool weather here. Well its Sunday Night Football time….gotta love cool weather and Football right???
Something to Really Think About October 10, 2008
This was forwarded to me and I thought it was IMPORTANT to share this with all of you!
I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this
drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you
might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started
thinking 'where did the money come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who
went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including
my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama's life.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open
about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting
his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his
studies.
'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two
roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan .
During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round
the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in
India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's
family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family.
My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one
of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in
college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York
. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry.
Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least.
Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he
went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why
Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York . By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real
estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery
this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American
Business and Professional Association'.
About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea
what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law
School ? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko
offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis,
Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which Rezko's
firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran
for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama
which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in
providing Obama with 'seed money' doe hia U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million
(less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where
did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita,
purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that
Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks
before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with
Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's
boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions
without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz,
Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked'
after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas ', which
controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back
part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq
, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected,
and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ?
They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contribution for
Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this
country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a
verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on
talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he make a
mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!
