* Festive ~ Oktober *
Oktoberfest:
Oktoberfest began on October 12, 1810 in celebration of the marriage between Bavarian
Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Sax-Hildburghausen.
Now in 2000 this festive occasion is honored at ski resorts in the New World with German
inspired foods, entertainment, and, of course, steins of beer.
This fall, head to the mountains with your lederhosen to soak up the festivities
and turning of the leaves.

Oktoberfest:La Veta, Colorado
Well, we're off to the festivities in La Veta.
Bobby and I were real anxious to head out! It was a cold day,
with temperatures hovering around 32°! When we arrived, the threat of snow was showing, but it was a
lively bunch of folks that we encountered. Everyone was having a festive time,
despite the cold weather. The air was thick with the smells of German Food! The Bratwurst was delicious and we had
our share. The hot apple cider, did a great job of warming the
innerds! The many craft shops were fabulous, sporting all types
of artistry and craftwork. I guess the threat of snow, and the cold temps
scared off some of the participants of the car show, But the cars that did
show up were GREAT! Check out the pics in our Klassic Kar
section. It was apparent that the festivities were enjoyed by young and old alike!
Folks, Laveta, Colorado is a
beautiful, quaint little town with the friendliest of folks. Visit and you'll be back
for more hospitality. We'll be goin' back again next year. We closed the day with a great dinner at a nice quiet
diner in Trinidad, Colorado(Trinidad Diner). Great food~Great Price~Great Folks!
What a great sighting to end the day~a Hawk in the treetop by the cabin!
Next issue we'll bring ya some huntin' FUN!! And I'm Out Da Door!!

Talk About Dumb....
Indiana Co. PA
As a man approached the scene of a vehicle accident, he was flagged down by a ragged looking
man. The man asked for a ride. He said that he had to get out of the there because he was
drunk and had just crashed his car. The driver of the fully marked State Patrol car drove to the
scene of the accident. After the investigation, the man was arrested for DUI and also possession
of marijuana.

Survival Tip:Purification Tablets:
A single drop of impure water can have a devastating effect on the human body, especially when the hope of medical attention
is days or even weeks away. For this reason the utmost caution must be taken when using any type of water purification tablets.
Be sure to read, understand, and follow the instructions given with each set of purifiers.
TIP - To ensure that every drop of water has been exposed to the purifying properties of the tablets; the water container's lid
should be loosened to allow the water to spill out over the threads, or exit point of the water container. Another caution to
make note of is that some individuals can have a severe allergic reaction to iodine, a leading ingredient in most purification
tablets. All Tablets have an expiration date! Over time these tablets will lose their effectiveness, so be careful and replace them
when needed.
Until next time: Be Safe ~ Be Happy!!

Dear Taxpayer,
I'm mad - Every time I see the letters IRS or 1040... I get
outraged for the vast number of people that could legally and
ethically opt "OUT of the System". I know you've heard of
such people before - but you have probably heard just the
stories the IRS wants you to hear.
Don't trust me, yet. Visit my website today:http://www.taxedless.com, for detailed information on this "Voluntary Tax"
and investigate the facts for yourself.

How do I know my pregnancy is normal?:
It's quite common for a first-time mother to worry about the well
being of her baby. You'll find that this anxiety will subside around
the 20th week or so of pregnancy, when you'll start feeling the baby
move around. Meanwhile, don't worry: The risk of miscarriage after 10
weeks when the heartbeat has been seen or heard is less than 2
percent. Meanwhile, the symptoms of pregnancy in the early months --
nausea, breast tenderness, increasing weight and abdominal size -- are
all good signs. If you have any uterine cramping or bleeding, however,
call your healthcare provider immediately.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
Fighting in front of your child:
There is a popular but mistaken notion that "real life" unpleasantness
will strengthen the character of the young. In reality, their
developmental immaturity prevents young children from defending
themselves against the emotional pain they feel when things go wrong.
So parental arguments and other painful events leave young children
more -- rather than less -- vulnerable to stress.
On the other hand, if you shield your child from distressing
experiences in general, and especially from the pain of witnessing you
and your partner fighting, over time he will retain an abiding
optimism about his world and his ability to have the harmony and love
that he wants and needs. As he grows older, this positive outlook will
give him the strength and resilience to respond effectively to the
challenges of everyday life.
NOTE! Always check with and follow the advice of your physician!!

An awesome 3D rendering in a doom setup where you collect computer chips and
shoot your way through the corridors. The space/techno music in the background is
of high quality and enhances your gaming experience. This is a high-tech game that requires
that you have a farily fast computer (250MHz + 64Mb RAM + good video card).
SOFTWARE FEATURE: OptOut.Exe:
Big Business may be SPYING on you through the Internet "for your benefit." The new OptOut freeware
lets you JUST SAY NO! (3/29/2000) I found and removed 20 instances of spyware tracking
programs on my computer that were put there without my permission or knowledge. It is VERY LIKELY
that a number of such unauthorized programs have also been put on your computer. This is not hype or a
false alarm. It is real.
