2005 - A Fresh Beginning

2004 went out with horrific news from Asia - one can only hope there is relief enroute for the poor souls left behind. What with all the controversey regarding the aid being sent by America - I have no problem with any amount sent; I do have problems with America being called stingy.

The American people, and in fact the worlds people should be quite suspect of so much money flooding the area. Yes it is going to take millions, perhaps billions to put it all back together... but, when those sums of money are gathered so quickly, there are going to be problems. Um, 'somebody' is going to have their hands on large caches of cash; one can only hope it is not the United Nations.

Regardless, 2005 is upon us - one hopes for new beginnings for us all. Good health to one and all.
