An important message from MOTUS...

about Minot, ND

I'd post the video here except (out of the goodness of my heart) I've joined in to make her wish of hitting 3 million hits by election day a reality.  I'm so nice.

Now head over, spike her stats, and find out how you can help. 

Snark Time Out: Prayers & Helping Hands for Minot, ND

  And what the hell is this awful thing Blogger has done to it's posting format?  Half the time when you try to put your tags in the whole screen shifts to the left and I have to save, close, and reopen to get it back where it belongs.  And that's just the beginning of my complaints.  Why are they fixing something that wasn't broken?  I keep reminding myself it's free and you get what you pay for.  Sigh... 

Let's help Minot, ND...

it's free and easy.  Really!

The following was stolen entirely from one of my best buddies, Randy, who has a Roundtable.  (My strike- through and addition in blue.)

Most folks (who don't live under rocks) know of the devastating flood in Minot, ND recently.

Coca-Cola is running a contest that will reward one park in America with the most votes with $100,000. Right now, Oak Park in Minot (which was destroyed by the flooding) is running in second place in the voting. If you click HERE, and search for Minot on the map (**see below) you can cast a vote for Oak Park and move us a little closer to getting that $100,000 prize.

Also you can be a Democrat for a day or two...Yes, you can vote early and vote often! No limits on voting!
$100,000 grand will help  immensely.
Thanks to Rob at Say Anything for the tip! 

**Allow me to add this to what Randy has said.  The easiest way to vote is to enter Minot under "city" on the top of the map and click on "GO."  That will eliminate all the other location balloons.  Click on the balloon and Oak Park will open up for voting.  It's simple, fast, and no registration is required. 

Minot Flood...

From: Sentry Journal: 

Sometimes a video can put things in perspective much better than words.  This video shows what the citizens of Minot are facing everyday and the long road ahead of us.  I ask that you please link to this post today; not to drive traffic to our site but to show the nation what one of their cities is going through and the challenges we face.  Please take the time to watch the video.
