CAD Drawings
I suppose this is a place to advertise about most things. I didn't think it would be about cad drawings , which is of an industrial nature. Considering the fact that this is a Family blog and such. I noticed that this website offers builders and developers to integrate their spec's into the computers and locate many of the diversified parts, needed for the final project.
Places To Dine.........
We as a family decided to go to a restaurant this year, instead of cooking for "Thanksgiving". To our surprise most of the local Dallas restaurants will be closed. Not only that, all of the local Luby's have shutdown, so that only leaves one other cafeteria chain, and it will be totally saturated with a certain loud ethnic group. We found one other restaurant chain, that will be open, and getting there early, will surely be the only option. I don't like to eat that early in the day, but it's been so with Mom & Henry, for several years, and we will try to make do, for their benefit. Either way, I'm ready for some good turkey & dressing, with lots of cranberry sauce.........lol

Diesel Generators........
During many hurricanes and floods many relief origination make trips to disasters, with many supplies are needed to help take care of victims of the devastation. These volunteers set up centers with lights powered by a Diesel Generator because there is no power in the area. It's necessary to have an ample supply of these things and many times there is a shortage. These teams, go out and try to help with the needs and make available as many things as they can offer. They are limited to the amount the units can carry and where they are going. If the areas are hard to access then they are limited to the amount of supplies they can get into the regional area. Many times a Diesel Generator will have to be air lifted, by helicopters and planes. A Diesel Generator can be affordable and setup in no time, to bring a form of stability to a horrific situation.
I'm sure there are time when you need to get emergency power to your tractor, if you are a farmer. This website offers a Pto generator that you can use to get that emergency during such times.
It is always nice to have lights at a campsite, and a generator would be great for that purpose. You can purchase a Towable Diesel Generator which would be very convenient on trips to areas with no electricity.
It's Happening........
A law to allow same-sex marriage in New York is hung up in the state Senate but could come to a vote before the end of the year. One judge warned that failing to address the larger question of recognizing same-sex marriages will create a problem.
New York's top court on Thursday rejected a Christian legal group's challenge to some government benefits provided to same-sex couples legally married elsewhere and now living in New York. But the court avoided declaring that same-sex couples are entitled to all the rights of other married couples.

American's Hungry......
The number of Americans that have trouble putting food on the table shot up last year in an unprecedented spike to a record 17 million households, the government reported on Monday.
To combat the nation's rapidly growing hunger problem, the Recovery Act allocated $20 billion to the nation's food stamp program, and hundreds of millions of dollars to food banks and school lunch programs.
One recipient of stimulus funds was the USDA's Emergency Food Assistance Program, which was allocated an additional $150 million from the $787 billion economic stimulus plan. Feeding America, a network of more than 200 food banks that advocates in Washington for food assistance programs, said its member food banks reported a 30% increase in the number of people seeking assistance earlier this year, and 72% of food banks had been unable to adequately meet demand before the stimulus bill was enacted.
