Last month we posed the musical question of how Kelly might manage to keep her all too frequently lost Bikini on her Bunny Bod, during a day of Sun, Sand and Questionable highjinx at the beach... Well now we see the answer... sort of... Um, let's just hope the paint isn't water soluble...

Meanwhile as we enter into August, usually the hottest month of the year... Also with nearly the highest fuel prices yet - not to mention the highest profits ever for Exxon... (odd that)... It might seem, to those with a cynical eye, that the final wholesale looting of the US economy is underway before the current "Commander in Thief" absquatulates from office and the whole economic house of cards crashes down leaving the US economy a shattered mess... Of course, perhaps the Democrats might do something to halt or even slow it all down - but then, that would require a spine...

Though, speaking of politics, the electoral season seems to be in its doldrums, awaiting I suppose, the conventions or some new dirt to kick it into gear... On the one hand we seem to have a pretty decent guy, who stands a chance of making a fairly decent president - and on the other, to put the best spin on it, we have a senile old coot... Who will win in November? Will it hinge upon whatever new dirt is dredged up? Will it depend out turnout of voters? Or will it be determined by whichever state manages the most creative vote fraud this time around?

Y'know, I love computers - but it seems the one task that they should never be given is in tallying up votes - it is just too easy fudge the results! True, old fashioned pencil & paper ballots can be gimmicked as well -- just it requires more people - more organization and generally leaves more evidence...

Well, those're my thoughts for August... hope everyone has a fun time at the beach - or where-ever... Enjoy life while you can -- Because the bill is in the mail... JQ
