So for fun I googled who should I vote for and I stumbled on this site, http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com/

I am not impressed by this 'quiz' since it only has two parties as candidates for president.

Why I can't become president...

Of all the United States Presidents, we have only had one Eagle Scout, Gerald Ford. But he was not elected.

Does that mean that the scouting values can win in United States politics? Does this mean that you must lie, cheat, and steal to become president?

Here is my current known list of all former U.S. Presidental Candidates:

  • Lamar Alexander - Lawyer, Governor of Tennessee, Secretary of Education, former presidential candidate

After the home inspection ...

We got the house we are in the process of buying inspected on Saturday. It has a good full page of major deficiencies which the biggest one involves the roof. To the inspector, he thought it should have been replaced 3-5 years ago. We hope the seller agrees to replace the roof before closing since by the time it will close might be too close to winter for the roofers.
