What does , "living your life with purpose and grace" mean to you?

This is posted here to avoid thread drift on another thread.

A person posted about living life according to the above dictum.

My goal is to make my encounters with every person, a positive encounter. I succeed in this when i am mindful of the goal. This means that most of the time, I fail.

What does it mean to you?

"No Balls Holder" ain't gonna bring treason charges, so relax.

If he didn't go after the Bush war criminals (Lets look forward) or bank criminals (it would disrupt the economy and probably future campaign contributions), he ain't going after the Funky 47.

Besides, the Constitution defines treason as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. We ain't at war. Therefore, we ain't got no enemy. Now you could argue that Israel is an enemy, having fired upon a U.S. warship but then you have to connect the U.S.S. Liberty episode with the '47.

So to continue with the treason talk is equivalent to tossing one off. It is our Bengazi. It is a lot of noise but nothing more. Find something more useful to forward progressive programs.

Two dead Bald Eagles - sad

for the past 6 years, I have bee photographing landscape and birds at Forsythe Preserve, ten miles north of Atlactic City. In December, Bald Eagles appeared and I got a few photos. Over the next two months, I got a couple of more photos. I have no idea if these were always the same or different Eagles.

Today, I read that two Bald Eagles were dead, the results of a fight for territory. One killed the other but was the, itself caught in branches of the disputed tree. It was euthanized unable to recover from frost bite. This was about five miles from the preserve.

Tubby wants to restructure the pension fund. This, from his budget presentation today.

I have not read specifics on his proposal but be clear: public employees will be on the losing end.

Where in Iowa do we send the bill?

We are paying for a governor of New Jersey. Instead, Iowa gets the benefit of having two Republican asshole governors. We want to be reimbursed.

Getting our money's worth. We are paying Krispy for being out of state.

Email or call your assembly critter to request a bill requiring a governor to spend at least 85% of the term, in the state. Pay to be forfeited for days beyond that.
