I received this thoughtful email today through our contact form:

EMAIL: affiliates.militaryfriends@gmail.com

COMMENTS: 
I really like your blog or website or group……

I wonder if you are interested in having your own military dating site.  We can set it up for you at no cost if you have strong interest.  You can pick the name for your site, and own the domain and brand. We take care of all the backend and engineering work.

You don’t have to worry that no one exists at your site at the beginning.  It will have hundreds of thousands of members shared with other sites we have already set up.  Your users can immediately contact hundreds of thousands of other users once they register.

If you are interested, let me know.

That feels really heartfelt. Especially the part where she tells me she likes my “blog or website or group.” Feels like she really did her homework.

It is magic made visible. There is nothing more miraculous, unexpected or wondrous than seeing a rainbow appear in the sky. You are part of that rainbow of light and just being born on a particular day under a particular Sun sign offers insights into your personality and nature, there is also a personal color that corresponds to the real you. It is a color that reflects the very essence of your specific birth date.

Visit Colorstrology to see your true color.

Tragedy- The greatest Bee Gees All Metal Tribute Band in the NY Tri-State Area.

Seriously, though, these guys were extremely funny on stage. Think of a mash up of Iron Maiden, the Bee Gees and a healthy dose of Spinal Tap.Their renditions (how dare you think covers, you mere mortal) of How Deep Is your Love, Dancin’, and Staying Alive (featured here) were just killer.

That idea would have caused gas prices to continue to rise (because demand wouldn’t have softened as much) while at the same time deprived America of much needed revenues to fix our failing infrastructure. Minnesota bridge collapse, anyone?

Well, here’s a wacky idea. Now that prices have plummeted to about $2 or less a gallon, let’s have a temporary tax increase on gasoline.

Please, hear me out.

First, I do mean temporary. We could tie it into the price of gasoline; let’s say the when the national average shoots up again to $3 (or whatever number we could agree upon) the tax goes away, or it could be more of a rolling target that abates as the average goes up.

In the meantime, we would get a surge of new revenues that should be split two ways. Half would go to rebuilding America’s infrastructure; that would lead to better, safer roads and bridges, while putting more people to work, and hopefully taking a nibble out of the depression unemployment numbers.

The other half would go to offset tax breaks on fuel efficient, American-built cars. I’m not talking about cars made by the big 3 necessarily, I’m talking about any car manufactured in the US by tax paying Americans. Toyota, Honda, or any “US” company as well.

It’s my strong belief that we need to get off of our addiction to foreign oil asap for the safety and security of our nation. It’s not (just) a tree-hugging idea; it’s a matter of national security. You don’t put the future of your energy needs in the hands of people who genuinely don’t like you.

OK, well, that’s my .02. Fire away.
