What you think does matter

When you've spent countless hours in bed, coughing, gaging and weasing - you want to be entertianed - I expected so much more from this. Feb. 14 - A herd of elephants escape from a national park in Kenya and destroy crops in nearby villages. Residents were counting their losses after more than 30 elephants escaped from a national park in Tsavo in south-western Kenya. Kenyan Wildlife Service officials were forced to use helicopters to round up the animals after earlier attempts to drive them away failed. Kenya has a national population of about 30,000 elephants, with an estimated 10,000 found in the Tsavo/Mkomazi ecosystem.

I have to say, I don't know about you, but I find myself working harder everyday trying to find new ways to cut back on my expenses.

Crash Proof Book As I laid in bed sneezing, coughing and hacking up - well you know…I watched the news talk about how high gas prizes have effected travel and how the 911 terrorist laws make it difficult for foreigners to come to America to spend their money.
