A Frosty Morning

At the LipsYard House, we wait for a frosty Fall morning to spread our Winterizer on the lawn. That's so we can see where we've been with the drop spreader.

This will be the 2nd time we've used the new "No Phosphorus" product on the lawn.

That's why the middle number on the bag is '0.' Here in Wisconsin, the ground is silly with Phosphorus, so we don't need to add any more.



Frosty, and darn near frozen is the relationship in Pakistan between opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, again under house arrest behind barbed wire on the orders of Pakistani military leader Pervez Musharraf "for her own protection."


She's called on him to quit as president and military chief of staff so true democratic elections can take place.

Great Brittain has joined a Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group 10 day ultimatum for him to end emergency rule and quit as army chief. What have we done? Nothing. The Bush administration continues to seek a delicate balance; criticizing Musharraf's crackdown on basic freedoms, but standing up for him as a vital ally against terrorism who has shown support for democracy (up to now.) Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte was headed to Pakistan to urge him to cut it out. Good luck with that.
