This image, released by The Field Museum in Chicago, shows an Egyptian limestone statue depicting an unidentified woman, carved during the New Kingdom Period, 1550 BC to 1050 BC.

The bust has been the focus of interest since the death of singer Michael Jackson as visitors double-take at the eerie similarities between the 3,000-year-old statue and the singer.

Doesn't surprise me, after all, I was Helen of Troy in an previous life!!!

Margot Saites is an atheist from a fundamentalist Christian family. Her new CD entitled, "I Like That" has a song on it called "Steeple Hands". A bit of the lyrics go like this;

When it's time to choose a side, I'll give you a clue.
Where the theories collide, it's not hard to misconstrue.
We're born with innocent wonder,
Don't let religion steal your thunder.

I don't always like what a person says or believes, especially about my president, but I do believe in our constitutional right to freedom of speech.

It's such a loving christian kind of sign isn't it?

MIDLAND, Texas (CBS/AP) An embarrassed Sheriff Gary Painter fired one Midland County deputy and suspended three others without pay after a scantily dressed waitress holding a rifle posed for photographs on the trunk of a patrol vehicle.

The incident occurred last week in the parking lot of a Twin Peaks Restaurant and Bar, which promotes its "fun, friendly and sometimes flirty atmosphere!"

The deputies told Painter that they had about three to five beers each. A fifth deputy who remained inside the eatery got a letter of reprimand.

The AP story had the headline; "Semi-naked and Semi-Automatic: Cops Busted for Busty stunt". I don't see what the big deal is myself. She certainly isn't "semi-naked". I've always said cops and beer is a deadly combination. Add a waitress and watch out!!!

How about Mother Earth??

I decided to spend the afternoon at Silverwood Lake in the nearby mountains. It turns out the state park is only 40 miles from my house. The weather at my house was a little overcast and cool. By the time I got into the mountains it was 92 degrees.


I tried to pick a spot off the beaten path and ended up in this little cove. There was a small swimming area, picnic tables, and clean bathrooms.

I set up my chair in this nice shaded area, stripped down to my running shorts, and spent the afternoon relaxing and reading. When I got there there were a couple of fishermen, and a group of women with two children. Then a family of 15 showed up, only to leave 30 minutes later for the other, more populated side. Thank goodness.


When I got to my car to leave, I was greeted by this park ambassador, a 3' rattle snake. You know how I like snakes. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that I wasn't as close to him as it looks. After he went under my car, he slithered off into the grass.

This is my brother-in-law Dennis Miller, Karen's older brother. He recently married Tong who he met on a trip to China. They recently want back to China and honeymooned in Cambodia.

During their visit to China, they had to visit Hong Kong Disneyland, which Dennis said was pretty much the same as the original in Anaheim.


This is one of the Buddhist temples they visited while in Angkor, Cambodia. The movie, "Tomb Raider" with Angelina Jolie was filmed here. The temples are hundreds of years old.

Dennis and Tong "throwing" gang signs???

When Dennis married Tong, he acquired a 7 year old son, Kevin. Also shown in this photo are Dennis' daughters, Aubree on the left, and Megan on the right.
