New Year Resolutions

Why make them? To me it's almost always a false promise we make to ourselves. We say we are going to eat less, go to a gym more, stop smoking etc. etc... They are good things to want to do but do we always have to expect things to change over a short period of time? We don't like to wait for anything any more. Most of the time my life feels like it is in fast forward. I would like to slow way down really enjoy life the way it should be. But the older you get the faster time flies.
Now for the next 11 months we will have to listen to all those people who want to be president. As time goes on the mud slinging will get dirtier and dirtier. Maybe one of my resolutions should be less TV. Just to save myself the head ache of listening to them.
Who will make the best president? I'm sure a woman would be nice. Or even the first black president would be good. One thing I will say is keep religion totally out of it. Number 1 thing is taking care of this country and doing better things to help the planet or prepare for what mother nature has planned for us. It's not going to be pretty. I plan on trying to be more respectful of her.
Remember if it weren't for this planet, where would we be?

Saying for the day:
Never give an empty purse, lest both giver and taker be likewise.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
