I’m not sure why this is such a hot topic any more, but since California is about to begin marrying same sex couples today at 5:01 PM some people are in a tizzy. Gay marriage is a right and it is going to happen, so the objectors should really just get over it already.
The fact is that people go to the STATE for their marriage license, not the church. Church policy, doctrine, and/or dogma should have no bearing on the marriage issue. Marriage is a legal contract. As far as I am concerned that contract can be written any way the parties agree to - and that includes plural marriage as well.

Two double bogeys but overall a solid day. Tiger finished 1 over par in the first round of the U.S. Open. His words after the round “It is what it is.”

A railroad bridge has collapsed in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The cause of the Cedar Rapids railroad bridge collapse isn’t known yet.
The number of dead or injured has not been released, though it will probably be awhile before that is even known. Rail cars tumbled into the flooded river. I am hoping the real damage will be limited to loss of cargo and not of human life.

Since I originally posted when E.D. Hill made the “terrorist fist jab” I guess it is only fair to mention that she apologized for it. Or did she? How do you make up for turning a loving fist bump into a terrorist fist jab?

Salvia seeds are all the rage. There is a certain type of salvia (salvia divinorum) that is basically Mother Nature’s little herbal high. However the college kid and teen crowd needs to understand that just because Salvia is legal most places it can be harmful. Be warned that some states are moving to make the sale of salvia divinorum seeds and plants illegal.
If you are looking for a few herb growing tips this is not the blog for you.
