Riding to work on two wheels... it's how the staff at doctor Jimmy Davis' medical practice commutes to the office. The Talladega doctor says "I think the four dollar gas has got to them." Brenda Ragan is on his staff. She admits, "Gas is just astronomically high really, and a lot of people aren't driving as much." This group rides more, peddling eight to twenty miles, round trip every day... saving as much as $15 in gas every week. But in the process these health care professionals discovered another benefit. According to Ragan, "the exercise part of it for me has been great." Mary Stevenson agrees, "I thought my legs were in shape. You know going to the track every morning walking and running, but this bike will really strengthen your legs." If you are considering a bicycle commute there will be some challenges. First, it's going to be hot this summer. Also, expect to take a little more time to get ready for work. Davis says when he leaves home around five in the morning it's a little bit dark so light is an issue. Tonett Wells has a different challenge. She says "My biggest problem is hair and make up. I just want to make sure I look good and smell good throughout the day." A quick change at the office take cares of that. Doctor Davis, who's also a city councilman, hopes his two-wheeling staff will inspire the city to develop alternate transportation plans down the road. According to Davis, "I think they just need to have a bike and get started and try it out."
We invaded Iraq -- but what for? We didn't go in there and do the job right, like we should have -- our men and women have gone over there and died in vain in a craphole of a country, lost their lives to a group of people who aren't even remotely grateful...... and that's too bad.
Now all these barbarians from Iraq and Iran have gotten the control that they need, they've destroyed the US economy, and with the help of George Bush, they have also successfully destroyed this country.
We need to nuke that part of the world, once and for all, get it done and over with and take the oil, and anything else we want. And then dare anyone who challenges us -- that they will meet the same fate if they screw with us again.
Then we need to close our borders, get rid of the illegal criminal aliens and the sect religions and in the end, PUT GEORGE BUSH, DICK CHENEY and most every last one of the congressmen and senators on trial for TREASON and CRIMES AGAINST THIS NATION.
Then we can start working on cleaning up this nation, restoring it to the foundation on which it was based by the founding fathers and living good lives once again.
If we fail to do these things now, then this country really is lost. Forever.
