Cheerio!

Well now let's see. Traveling pain. It has been my experience that random piques of pain travel through the body. The hip for example. Aches. Then the knee, which stops the hip. Now the hip is fine. It's the knee. No, now it's the tummy, or the toe, or section of jaw. When one pain starts, the other stops. Very interesting.

Handy hint section: If you have lived in a house over 20 years, and the furnace is not doing as it should, and making noises -- call the duct cleaner and have the furnace cleaned. You'd be surprised.

Recent television series. "Book of Daniel", about a Methodist minister and his family. Canceled. Apparently some very powerful people do not like this show to the point of swiping it off the air. Now, there have been some interesting points that have been discussed on the program, and surely many find it offensive if they insist on taking it literally seriously, which obviously they have. Personally, I found it a witty and provocative hour, with some parts in it sure to shake the fundamentalist to the core. Talking to Jesus was one such. Personally, I agreed with all said. I do advocate people taking moral responsibility for their own actions. Certain things were mentioned that some would speak of in terms of 'blasphemy' , but I do not think so. But boy, the uproar! The rapid snatching off the air! Blatant suppression! In the name of What -- status quo of the majority? I find that a bit offensive. Crying out loud, it's a story, a story. Not real. Fiction! Oh well.

Perversity, thy name is January ---

Midmonth. It's supposed to be winter here. It is, sometimes, but we are having a warming trend. This week, however, in the 30s and wind. Typical for this state. Drives people mad. This state is reknown for a high rate of suicide. It's the wind, cussed, relentless, all consuming, threatening to blow your body to Nebraska with all the other loose stuff. The specials on Presidents abounding on the TV waves puts forth the reminder that we are all fallible, and sometimes outrageously so. In spite of that, some individuals rise above the stew, letters in alphabet soup. Hi ho!

Life is quite funny. Sometimes, 'ha-ha' and sometimes just plain weird. It's to keep our souls on tippy-toes, alert and ready. Some will tell you that life on this old world IS Hell -- that we are sojourning through it to learn and refine our self. At any rate, stop right now and give yourself a hug. You are alive on this Planet Earth and that makes you one courageous being! Suspense novels are just varifications, to tell you that, yes, it's not your imagination. We are all in our own perilous journey.

God invented time to keep everything from happening at once.

Soon I will have more good pictures!

Oh yummy! Blueberries and Mars bar chunks! Actually this is one nice little picture from the Rovers -- and is a lovely argument for WATER! Great, huh.

Man. Take this as an example. The hoo ha about the mega volcano at Yellowstone. Worst case scenario is always hyped because it's the most exciting. All part of the simplification and dumbing down of information. Take all the news you hear, add salt. Nothing is AS horrible as projected, and many times it's a mild version, quite manageable. Every once in a while we get a mega 'bad news' but should speculation of possibilities be catastrophic ALL of the time? Food for thought.
