Happy St. Patty's Day :)

Tis a beautiful, rainy and soggy day!  Yes, I am a wearin' the green this morning.  I have just been informed by the Union Rep, that county workers are to walk off the job at 10:30 and unite at the county building to take part in still another Board of Supervisors meeting.  We still don't have a contract.  Damn them! 

Wish us luck....  I might have to go strike later this month!!

I learned something interesting this morning on the radio in regards to the flag of Ireland.  The green band represents the Catholic faith of the country, the orange band represents the Protestant faith, and the white band in between represents PEACE for them both.  Let's pray this peace will someday be a reality.

Anyways, I'm about 0% Irish, but I have cousins who are, and a whole much of good Irish friends...  Top of the Morning to you all, and enjoy your green beer, cabbage--no corn beef today--it's Friday, and it's Lent, but drink all you want!  :) 

P.S.  Beware of the Leprechaun.  They are mean little wee people who have a foot fetish--they will attempt to steal your shoes!
