Septic Replacement

Our old (stinky) septic system was finally laid to rest. We are now the proud owners of a brand new sewage treatment facility, conveniently located in our back yard.

Michigan Summer Vacation

We just got back from our summer vacation in Grand Haven, Michigan. It's a lot easier now that the kids are older (Peter-8, Erik-7, Kurt-5). We tried camping four years ago, but it didn't work out too good. We did it again this year (after renting a house the last 3 years) and had a blast!



Here's a link to another good Grand Haven Video:

Schwarzenegger for President

A lot of conservatives criticize Arny for being too moderate. But I love his politics! There is a $26 billion deficit in California, and he refuses to raise taxes. Instead he proposes spending cuts...

"Democrats who control the legislature cannot pass a budget on their own. They agree with Republicans that deep spending cuts are needed but want some taxes increased. Republicans are holding firm against tax increases and Schwarzenegger has sided with them." - Reuters Article

View the list of Schwarzenegger's Proposed Budget Cuts. I'm sad these programs need to be cut, there's going to be some pain. But Californians already have extremely high taxes AND high unemployment. People can't afford higher taxes. We all need to live within our means - including the government. In my opinion, the federal government should have stopped spending so much money a long time ago. We haven't had a balanced federal budget since 1969, and our national debt is nearly $12 trillion. How can this be good for America?
