Posted by Shelly, aka Kenny's wife

Here she is - the new "bitch" in the family. I couldn't be the only one :-) We visited Seymour, WI (home of the hamburger - didja know?) last night to make sure she was the one. We all fell in love with her personality and overall cuteness. Bad news is we have to wait another 3 weeks for her to be ready for pick from her mommy.

Take a good look now, 'cuz by the time most of you see her this summer - potentially debuting at Iola in May - she will be much bigger!!!

We are taking name suggestions: please remember she is in a family with 2 young boys ;-)

Yep it true, bike geeks see things in a different way. For example if you have been driving the freeway system in the milwaukee area you have seen the massive trek bike sale planned by stroke and spoke (wheel and spocket). There is a women in a blue tank top bent far over on the bike for a eye catching billboard. A women at work said it was sexist and should be changed. All I noticed was the bars were way to wide for her small shoulders and should be cut down and the bike is was to big if she is bent over that far on a comfort bike. They all said something was wrong with my way of thinking.

Where is the beef.

So now the US government will recall millions of pounds of beef not because its bad beef or it has some type of blood borne pathogen. That’s not it at all; the beef is clean and tested ok. Now PETA and the animal rights morons have strong armed the USDA to recall millions of pounds of beef because the cattle were getting a condition called stockyard leg and were not able to walk to their death. The cows can only stand for so long before the tendons in their real legs will tear. They have a bunch of footage from a location that used a fork lift to move these animals. They are now screaming it was animal cruelty. Maybe it could be considered cruelty but come on genius; three minutes later that cow that had its back legs crippled is going to get a ½ rod through it brain. So get ready for the price of beef to go up, and pray all the workers at the plant stay employed because a few head of cattle had a bad day before they got processed for our consumption at the top of the food chain. One good thing, all that recalled meat will make its way back to PETA in their dog’s food.

One week, 20 inches and 900 miles

I find myself sitting here in a cold office many miles from home again this morning. I am content with this knowing after March 1 my longest drive for work will be from milwaukee to madison. Yep got the transfer to Director of Central Office operation for SE WI. Yep I will have all the guy and gals that just flip a switch to make your phone work. Now I just have to finish the 07 reveiws for the managers in 13 states I have now. This week I did all the "drive to" locations and spent a lot of time on the roads.

Things I noticed


If you are a fan of the greatful dead is there a rule that states you must have at least 4 bumper sticker pledging your allegiance

Listening to the radio while driving around I learned that Hillairys health plan would not included federal employees or teacher’s health groups. Is it because she believes all teachers should be federal employees as well. This is an idea that Alan Keyes has brought up many times. I hate to say it but I completely agree. It would take the burden off the local tax payer to meet heath care demands and allow the money from salaries and benefits to go to books and buildings. It would bring greater equality to inter city schools that have little funding for salaries. It would also do away with some local control and go to state control. That is were the heads will roll. You may only have a handful of administration managers per state instead of a few hundred with a few per school district. The guest on the show used the state of California, of course a large state. He had the list of certified procurement managers in the state that included state, county, city and villages that total 610. The best count for the public school system is 1350. Yep the schools have more than twice as many.

Another radio shows was about home selling and tips. They did a compare and contrast 1998 – 2008.
A couple things
1998 - A spa or hot tub was a big attraction to home buyer
2008- A hot tub is a couple hundred dollars worth of maintenance
1998 – A homeowners association worked to keep property values high
2008 – Nobody wants to ever have to deal with a Homeowners group, big negative
1998 – A big yard 20 miles outside of major population center a plus
2008 – 20 miles out and you are lucky to get dial up connection and gas is how much.

The funniest one was a lady doing a show about advice to give your teens about what is real in the world. That we should not judge the world from wikipedia there was a part to tell your teens that the sex that is depicted online in porn sites is over dramatized and not health behavior. Take her at her word I guess.

never again

Well most trips from Milwaukee to Hoffman Estates takes about an hour and forty. Well yesterday I left hoffman after lunch and got back to milwaukee around 6:00. I will never understand the illinios driver.
