Pete's BLOG-Day 26,401. The sequester has begun.

Today is Friday, March 1, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes
 of lifting weights and 45 minutes of walking = 2.5 miles for a March total of 2.5 miles. My weights was 164.0 pounds.

QUOTE from Jim Doyne: "Mother Nature always provides. By the time we reach the
sitting stage, she gives us a bigger cushion."

My THOUGHTS today have to do with the sequester. President Obama just had a
news conference. The President laid out what some of the mounting problems are going to be. Many of us will not notice anything but there are many who will as the weeks and months go by. Everything from pay cuts for government employees to lay-
offs to less days of school for military schools to cutting the number of pre-schoolers going to Head Start to lay-offs in factories producing goods for the government, etc. My question is why can't Boehner and the Republicans in Congress sit down with Obama and come up with a comprehensive/compromise 
to stop this insanity - and it would include more revenue as well as cuts. I really think
Boehner is afraid of the Tea Party members in the House and the Tea Party members in his home district threatening to bring him down in the Republican primary in 2014.
In my opinion, the Tea Party is going to bring economic disaster to the U.S.
