This week's update

It's been almost a week since I wrote anything, sorry. I'm involved with the local community theater group. I'm in charge of the back stage. I could have if I had wanted to be on stage but at the time I wasn't in the mood to memorize lines. We are doing Doubt A Parable by John Patrick Shanley. Next week are the performances. It should be a good show. There really isn't allot to do back stage but enough. The fun part will be the a couple of quick changes that has to done with the priest. This is the first real serious play they have done since I started getting involved. Anyway, I'm on vacation this next week so I might have the chance to write something in the morning. Even though I'm on vacation I still get up early. That's what happens when for the last 20 years your up around 4am at least five days a week.

Here's a question. When is it going to stop snowing around here? We were suppose to get maybe an inch or two Thursday night. It did start snowing at that time but it snowed most of the day yesterday. We ended up with almost 4 inches of snow. Today it is not suppose to snow but, tomorrow it is suppose to start again with rain thrown in for good measure.

Yesterday I didn't have to work, it's slow right now. In most of the factories it is slow. My husband works on a loading dock for one of the window companies in town, it's even slower there. Don't tell me we are not in a recession. Open your eyes. This is what happens when an oil man is the head of things. Denial is what he does best. All the sugar in the world can not cover up this mess. It's time for a change. I can see Obama becoming the president. But he will have the hardest battle a president has ever had. Not only will he be trying to start fixing the mess that was left him but being a black man he will have to put up with all the racist people in this country plus mother nature is going to make things more difficult for everyone.

In local news, over in Wausau a bunch of kindergartners were swimming in a pool when the pump shut off. When it started up again it sent too much chlorine into the pool. They took all of them to local hospitals, only one I think was in critical condition because of an existing breathing problem.
I can't think of anything else right now. Tomorrow if I can I'm going to put together another 10 random books and see what I can come up with.

Today's thought:
"Give your heart, but hold on to your spirit."

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
