I had me one of these once, a very long time ago. Same color, and it had a rollbar.

REALITY?: Expenses of a Death Sentence

Saturday, March 7th, 2009


According to this AP article by Deborah Hastings, “In hard times, executions become question of cost” the expense involved–mainly in judicial costs–to apply the death penalty overwhelms the expenses of a life sentence.

I applaud those states who will propose doing away with the death penalty. Sure wish it was based on something akin to the immorality of taking a life rather than a reason of money though.

What do you do when you rise up at three a.m. and then by six you’re done with all your morning chores but notice the bottom shelf of the refrigerator’s stuffed with yellow squash?  You make three chocolate squash breads and shred up all the rest to freeze for when the plants are finally killed by frost.

The squash grow quickly when your back is turned, and morning’s harvest so carefully and thoroughly complete will still produce another crop by nightfall. 

So chocolate bread for morning, lunch and with ice cream in eveningtime is just a hope at keeping current.
