Extremist Celebrate in an extreme way

Many people wrote to me saying that I was wrong when I accused Christine Dorchak and Carey Theil of being extremist wackos associated with P.E.T.A. but I stood my ground. They have recently announced a big shindig to celebrate the end of greyhound racing in New England. How do animal rights extremists party?


"What: Three-course vegan dinner with a selection of tea and cakes. " Seriously. Its on their website.

YUMMY huh?

Don't get me wrong. I myself eat and appreciate vegetarian and vegan foods for several weeks at a time throughout the year, as my family tries to follow the guidelines of fasting and abstinence of our Orthodox Christian faith. I have friends that are vegitarians for health reasons and their own principles. I respect that.

What I cannot accept is forcing ones personal beliefs on others. You can be certain that if organizations like P.E.T.A. and Grey2k continue to chip away at their goal to eliminate all companion animals, they will take the next step to force the entire population to eat only a vegan diet. Of course if they achieve this, I don't know what the full time paid activists like Newkirk, Theil and Dorchak will do to earn a living. Perhaps they can work in some kind of rider on the legislation outlawing meat and animal products that will give them some sort of annual government stipend annually. Why not? I'm sure they will believe they have earned it.

Moving.... again

View of the new place from the outside

Spacious kitchen with LOTS of counter and cabinet space


So, we're moving again. We've been almost a year in Titusville.
We live in a brand new security patrolled, gated apartment complex with a beautiful wide open floor plan, oak cabinets, marble windowsills built smack dab in the middle of the ghetto.

I have lived in some rough places before, but never where I have actually heard gun shots. Yeah, for real.

We were going to brave it out another year because the monthly rent was actually going to be reduced by almost one hundred and twenty dollars, but things changed rather quickly. Brianna's mother has moved in with us, and this has facilitated us purchasing a home an entire year before we were planning to. We were looking around already just to see what was out there, and an excellent deal presented itself.

Wolf has already settled into his room


Needs a coat of paint before we can move in

Will be sure to post some "AFTER" pictures as well.
