Hello Everybody,
I'm still using that voice activated typing program. It's starting to work a lot better now however, there are still a few bugs to work out.
I want to say something about what Governor Schwarzenegger is trying to do by lowering state employees pay to the federal minimum wage. It angers me to no end to think that he was going to put pressure on the legislators by causing the working people under him to go through financial hardship in hopes that they would, in turn, put pressure on their representatives to get the budget passed. This is what I think should happen. I think they should take all the people that are responsible for not passing this budget and fine them $50,000 a day each for every day they are late in passing the budget. Now I know $50,000 might seem excessive, it would be about a quarter million dollars a week from each person that is responsible for not passing the budget, but can you imagine how quickly it would get done if they were facing that kind of penalty? After all, according to Schwarzenegger, it's okay for the people on the lowest end of the totem pole to be punished for the budget not being signed. So I'm thinking, why not take the people that are actually responsible for the budget and punish them? I know that they are not getting paid until the budget is signed. But these people are, for the most part, relatively wealthy anyway. The way I'm looking at it these people have 364 days to get the budget ready to be signed on June 30th. That's plenty of time.
I've updated my Showtime section. Labor Day weekend marks the beginning of my show at Apple Hill, and I can't wait to be back up there. This will be my 22nd year at High Hill Ranch. The best thing about being up there for so long is that I get to see people that have been buying my artwork for years. It's always nice to see them again.
I am continuing my offer of a free 8X 10 matted print. All you have to do is either read this First Page of my web site and tell me that you read it when you come to one of my shows or receive a postcard from me advertising one of my shows and bring it with you to the show. Then just pick out any 8 X 10 print you want! This is just my way of saying thanks!
I haven't started on a new drawing ... yet. I will though and when I do I will let you all know about it.
