TWINKLETOES
Wednesday started with Linden doing his posting, fixing his breakfast (instant oatmeal,) and reading part of the paper. Then, he picked up CDs at the duplicator's and drove on to Brownsburg to check out a shoe store. Maybe he is just too picky but he is having no luck finding the black dress shoes he considers to be suitable.

Back at home, he poured some coffee and settled back in his recliner to listen to one of the new CDs: It is great to hear your own works even though there is the very real possibility that they will never be appreciated by another living soul. On the fifth song, a disturbing noise occurred that reappeared from time to time through the thirteenth, and last, song.

Linden returned to the duplicator to start that process over, then to the brochure printer, and then to see the auto mechanic. The time was not good for him so Linden left. Immediately after closing the door, he tripped and Old Twinkletoes performed a dance routine that he has not practiced since falling in Austria a year ago. He lost some skin off of his right elbow and both knees. It was a jarring fall and he fully expects to be very stiff and sore Thursday.

After showering and dressing his wounds and resting in the recliner a bit he attended a very good program which was presented at his church by the National Church Music Conference.

Although he did make some small progress in regard to his political campaign, the day was, over all, not the best he ever had.

LINDEN’S BOOKS

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” is a group of 20 poems written in a style reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley and 20 accompanying illustrations. This book is little more expensive than a greeting card. Since both the author and the illustrator are now deceased, use Linden Swift as the author name when inquiring online.

“OUTSTANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHERS OF THE LAST 42 YEARS” Published in 1987, this book could be of interest to older baseball fans. Author: Linden Swift. Available locally at Uncommon Corner in downtown Plainfield, IN or Secondhand Stories on Raceway road. Also online:

HELP WANTED

It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.

New Jersey 1 Camden and Gloucester Counties
New Jersey 10 Essex, Hudson and Orion Counties

New York 5 Queens and Nassau Counties
New York 6 Queens
New York 9 Brooklyn and Queens
New York 22 Delaware County area – 2 Found

North Carolina 1 Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount and other areas

In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?

Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
