Apparently Farm Days consists of several local farms opening their doors to the community for guided tours around their farms. I think that taking a tour of the local akpaca farm is something that most children would enjoy quite a bit. Naturally at the same time the town closes off a section of the town’s second most traveled commercial street and allows vendors to set up their tents and Trade Show Displays of their freshly grown local produce from the farms along with the assorted crafters and local politicians setting up camp trying to win voters for the upcoming local elections.

Seems to me that the same two candidates are always running for the position of Sheriff. They seem to take turns winning! I don’t know what the town would do if a third person ever threw his or her hat into that competition! I like going to the street fairs and just walking around and people watch. From time to time I might find something unique to buy from a crafter that has come up with something new. 

My wife likes to look at the hand made jewelry, she is always on the prowl looking for new additions to her assortment of statement jewelry.  I have to admit though, she does not often spend much money at the fair.

On April 24, 2008 a news story was released that an Adolf Hitler was going to be sold in the Ukraine, aimed at children. The news story said that the dolls were Barbie-like in nature, that kids could dress and undress him and pin on medals. There was supposedly even an interchangeable head, where the facial expression was, I think the term was either “kinder” or “gentler” – something like that. Then the story went on to say that if the sales of the doll went well that the manufacturer would expand the line and start selling dolls of his German Shepard dog “Blondie” and model crematoriums.

I think it is interesting that this “Hitler doll” story first came out right around the anniversary of Hitler’s birthday! So it has been discovered that the entire story was a hoax, although I don’t know HOW it was discovered to be a hoax, and several news agencies have had to retract their stories on the doll. I find that very interesting!

Then suddenly the school celebrations of May Day stopped.  I was told it had something to do with Russia celebrating May Day and having big parades to celebrate their military might and our government did not want to be seen as supporting that celebration.  I can remember that was a bunch of nonsense!  Our celebration of spring should have nothing to do with Russia!

This morning I was thinking about how when people are in boats or planes and are in danger, they shout “Mayday Mayday” into their microphones for help.  I started to wonder how that got started….  sounds like a little bit of wiki searching is about to happen!

There are numerous options for Debt Relief out there and having Internet access just makes the whole easy process even easier. When Christmas is all over and done with we will all have to sit back and see what adjustments are needed in order to pay for it all. That’s when it really hurts. I did hear on one news story that more people are using cash this holiday shopping season instead of using their credit cards. I know I haven’t used a single charge card this year and I don’t plan on starting either.

If I were to take on the task of having to improve credit, I would certainly ask around before jumping in with both feet. So far I’ve managed to stay ahead of the game, but it could turn ugly at any moment; you never know these days. Each day we never know if it is our last at my place of employment. Pink slips are still showing up here and there and no one wants to be called into the manager’s office for fear that they will be walking out carrying that little pink piece of paper!
