my car gets 40 mpg

Dipy is worried about taking a 20% haircut on his probably 500K california house. Grace is certain we are all rich because wegmans is out her front door. You actually own a car?!?

All I currently own transportation wise is pedal power living in a tiny trailer - you guys are so blessed to have so much luxury. K-mart even costs too much for me - I get 200 dollar silk shirts at the local salvation army for a couple bucks. When they pass the tithe cup around at church they ask me if I want some of the collections so I can buy a hamburger - HAHA!

Why just yesterday I pedaled by an orange tree grove that was bought by developers who hadn't started the home building yet and all these trees had oranges that were spoiling so I had to collect a few to help those guys out ;)

The treasures I see all around me for FREE. Some chick was very upset that I suggested we go to the library and check out some free dvd movies instead of spending 120 bucks on red lobster dinner and a movie ticket. She said "I don't come cheap" HAHA! I thought we were enjoying each others time and company - I didnt know I was buying her - if I want to do that I can go get a hooker and get right to business eh? I checked out "dangerous liasons" and got on craigslist :)

The people in the globe making it on a couple dollars a month - they make me look very wasteful.

Five members of Congress arrested

WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) -- Five members of Congress were arrested outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington Friday during a protest against violence in the Darfur region.

All five were Democrats, The Los Angeles Times reported -- including Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor from California, James P. McGovern and John Olver of Massachusetts, James Moran of Virginia and Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas. Six religious leaders were also taken into custody by the Secret Service.

'Two generations ago, the civilized world stood in silence and looked away,' said Lantos. 'Congress stands united in our determination to put an end to this.'

The conflict in Darfur has created at least 2 million refugees and left 180,000 people dead by many accounts. Large rallies are scheduled across the country on Sunday.

About 7,000 African Union peacekeepers in Darfur have been unable to stop the violence. The United Nations plans to add 20,000 of its own troops, but the Sudanese government has not agreed to admit them.
