Live Bear Cam in Minnesota This is too cool. Kind of boring though except for when the bear is up stirring around with her cub.

WAS HE (O’bama) THERE?

WAS HE (O’bama) THERE?

I have always wondered why NO ONE ever came forward from Obama’s past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc.

NO ONE, not one person has ever come forward from his past.

VERY VERY STRANGE.

This should really be a cause for great concern.

To those who voted for him,

YOU HAVE ELECTED THE BIGGEST UNQUALIFIED FRAUD

that America has ever known!

This is very interesting stuff. Sort of adds credence to the idea of The
Manchurian Candidate thing having happened here!

Stephanopoulos of ABC news said the same thing during the 08′ campaign. He too was a classmate of BO’s at Columbia class of 1984. He said he never had one class with him.

Was he there?

While he is such a great orator, why doesn’t anyone in Obama’s college class remember him?
Maybe he never attended class! Maybe he never attended Columbia ?
He won’t allow Colombia to release his records either. Suspicious isn’t it???

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA !!!!!!!

Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia
University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there,
but none remembered him.

Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia
who also graduated in 1983.
In 2008, Root says of Obama, “I don’t know a single person at Columbia that knew him,
and they all know me. I don’t have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia . Ever!
Nobody recalls him. I’m not exaggerating, I’m not kidding.
Root adds that he was also, like Obama, “Class of ‘83 political science, pre-law” and says,
“You don’t get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life,
don’t know anyone who ever met him.
At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class?
Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.
The guy who writes the class notes, who’s kind of the, as we say in New York , the macha who knows
everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?
It’s very strange. “Obama’s photograph does not appear in the school’s yearbook and Obama consistently
declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of
any former classmates or friends while at Columbia .

NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan
School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major
(in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN).

Can it be that BHO is a complete fraud?? More intrigue concerning “The Man
who wasn’t thereâ€.

American-Born al-Qaida Spokesman, Adam Gadahn, Arrested, Officers Say – AOL News.

This is the kind of news that I can appreciate. It’s bad enough that we have Al-qaida attacking us! We sure don’t need some sypathetic American taking up their cause.

Hello world!

Hello, today is March 3, 010? Is that the way to say it or maybe it should be 2010? We started out with that dilemma in 2001 about how we would refer to the new single digit years. Anyway, if you’re saying it out loud o’ten sounds good to me.
What was I going to say before I got onto that subject? Oh, I know, it’s March and of course that means Spring is just a few weeks away. As a matter of fact this weekend we are suppose to have temps in the mid to upper 50’s. I wouldn’t be surprised to see 60 something but then I’m no weather man. We even have flowers, daffodils, that are about 4 inches tall now. They were actually sticking out of the snow the week before last. We actually had a pretty good bunch of snow for this area but I’m glad to see it is about gone. There is the remains of a snow drift about a foot deep but that’s about it.
I know that I’m not the only one but I am ready for some motorcycle weather. I have actually seen an occasional bike on the road already. But I know from experience that riding on a day when the temp is 40 degrees is hard to enjoy for very long. The thought of that takes me back to 1971 when we lived in northern Wisconsin. A friend of mine by the name of Sam Mauk had bought a 1968 750cc. Norton Commando.
I may be off a little on the spec’s of that bike but you get the idea.
I went just down the road from his place with him to get it. Turns out it was in a garage with a good 6 to 8 foot snow bank in front of the doors but being anxious to get to the Norton it didn’t take long to dig through. When we finally got inside we found the bike laying on it’s side but luckily there didn’t appear to be any damage to it.
I don’t recall whether we had tried to start it but we had to push it back to his place, only a 1/4 mile or so away.
It was already getting late by the time we got back to Sam’s and it was also quite cold. It was April and I’m sure it couldn’t have been much more than 30 to 35 degrees. It didn’t matter though, Sam was pretty well experienced with working on bikes so he went right to work on getting the Norton started. It didn’t take long until Sam had the points firing and a good spark at the plugs. Probably the biggest problem turned out to be the carburetor. If I remember correctly that bike only had one carb and it had to be taken off and all the old gas residue cleaned out. With that task done and everything back in place we were pretty close to getting it started. By then it was probably between 1 to 2 o’clock in the morning and cold! I think my feet had turned into blocks of ice but the excitement was enough to keep me from thinking about it. We had kicked and kicked for I don’t know how long and was about to give up for the night. I think Sam decided to reset the points one more time and that was all it took. Another kick and she took off. I’ll never forget the sound! It had points running back and up to the sissy bar, kind of like the Captain America bike. Here’s the most awesome part of that whole night and maybe somewhat dumb. We got on it and took off down the highway with it being near freezing. I was looking over Sam’s shoulder at one point and we were doing right at 130mph. We didn’t go far but when we pulled back into the garage I’m pretty sure my face had froze solid!
Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end.
Seems like I’ve heard that in a song.
Anyway, that was a good time I’ll never forget. Now I don’t think I would ever be crazy enough to attempt something like that again but I sure am looking forward to getting my old Shovelhead out this weekend. I think I can handle some 50 degree weather as long as I have my heated socks, gloves, coveralls and heated handle bars, LOL!

Welcome to the new look of the Eldridge Journal. Last week there was an error in the system that caused the theme for the website to disappear. So I am now in the process of updating the pages and trying to recover some of the info that was lost. I have also changed the theme to a new design that I believe will be easier to navigate. Thank you for you patience as I make these changes.
