PROJECT BREAD...........AND OTHER THINGS.........

The Walk for Hunger had 42,000 walkers , 2000 volunteers of which OUR very own heroes were part of , and raised $ 3.8 million...........terrific in this current state of affairs ;

I noticed the latest Boston Magazine picked the best 23 places to live.......and of course Lynn was not on the list..........I assume this would change if Lynn continues to have the only "drinking water" in Eastern Massachusetts that doesn't have to be boiled........

Also, Where are the supporters of the legislation that wants to ban "bottled water ".....the last few days......probably at the their store of choice buying water.......

What's going on with the Red Sox......I know it is early, but Ortiz is batting like Julio,the shortstop of last year and Martinez can't hit or throw to second base......along with lackluster performances by many of the other supposed "stars ".......

Don't drink the water at Fenway or the Garden tonight......also no boiled "hot dogs"........

TAX STATS....WOW

So did you see some of the statistics on who pays what.... when it comes to taxes ;

The top 20% earners pay 86% of the taxes..............

The taxpayers in the lower 50% of wage earners pay 3% of the total taxes.....

and 50% of households in the USA DO NOT PAY TAXES.........

My thought for the day is....If you are an adult....are not a Mother raising Children...and are not sick or disabled........and do not pay taxes..........What do you do with your 24 hour days.......

I hope it is helping somebody or some organization....in a worthwhile endeavor......

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND THOUGHTS..........

So what's the story with the "squeaky clean" Tiger Woods.......He hit a fire hydrant and a tree outside his home and was rescued by his wife knocking out the back window of the car.......I assume she used a golf club...........By the way..........It happened at 2:25 am.........Maybe he was going to get in line for " Black Friday " shopping at Walmart, Target and Dick's Sporting Goods for new Clubs or golf shoes.............seriously I hope all is well on the home front.......He has been a class act....

Talking about " Black Friday " I don't get this waiting in line all night to shop except that.......The power of suggestion created by advertising is very powerful.............have you noticed the so called " pest power "created by retailers in which the advertising on TV children's program creates the marketing wants of the " little ones" who in turn drive the Parents.....sometimes to stand in the above lines.....in order to create the demand for "this years "hot item........The economy does not appear to effect this willingness to give the "kids "whatever they "desire "........We all fall into the "trap".........Maybe even "Tiger ".......

Have a nice Saturday........and don't get run over by the crowd at the Mall.......I will try to be courteous if you will also............
