Instead of forcing those institutions into bankruptcy, thus creating an economic crisis of gigantic proportions in the United States and abroad, our leaders have devised a large bail out plan.

Both conversations revolved around shopping at our local stores, with the first discussion more focused on my community of Happy Valley and the few shopping opportunities we have here. I would classify that type of experiece as shopping at neighborhood centers.

They're worthless if you need to take them somewhere. How else can you get a horse to the vet? You can't. The vet has to come to the horse and that is much more expensive.

Wow! It's a thick one. Perhaps a bit intimidating by the weight of it alone. Amazingly, there's a grand total of twelve, I say again, twelve propositions being served up to voters this November! Frankly, it all seems just a bit overwhelming! For heaven's sake, there's got to be a better way to run state government.

Afterwards, it was time to celebrate another year with my two nearly-adult children, Timothy, 20, and Kris, 18, and the new love of my life, Kim Chamberlain of Anderson. gwinship@andersonvalleypost.com (George L.
