Bird news and other ponderings


It's a bright sunny Sunday morning with a temp of about 40 degrees right now. Here it is almost June and it's still freezing in some areas. But everything is nice and green. This week it will be around 70 for a high all week.

In bird news, momma Phoebe is sitting on her nest right now. We have found at least four robins nest with some of the babies almost ready to fly and others not yet hatched out. Two more bird nest on the chicken coop and one little bird building a nest in a bush next to the house in front of the living room window. As for my baby chickens, they are in their ugliest stage. You know where they have half their regular feathers and half they baby feathers.
One of these day maybe we will have to take a ride out and see the eagles nest again and see how they are doing.

Lately the media has been focusing allot on the people from John and Kate plus Eight. Why now? It seams like if one group is pointing out something then others have to jump on the band wagon and try to destroy something. But with these people I do think it is time to get out of the media spot light before their kids are even more exploited.
I've never watched the show and I don't plan to. So many of these things are staged to a point. Sure the reactions to some of the things that are happening on camera are real but still controlled. Who wants to really live their life with camera around every corner? Life is stressful enough without that to worry about. If I could advice people who do reality shows especially with kids I'd say stop. As the kids get older they will start to resent you more and more. They will rebel and do things that will be even more hurtful to you and themselves. I really don't care if you say are you doing it to pay the bills you are doing more harm then you will ever do any good.

Another thing I'd like to ponder is the presidents choice for the Supreme court. I'm in favor of her. I don't think she will use her race to make certain rulings. I think it's just that the whiners have to have something to whine about just to get their voices heard on TV and print. She has lived a life that some people have not lived. Of course she sees things from a different point of view. But she will not be making rulings by herself there are others on the court. It is not all just in her hands.

Thought of the Day:
"The truth is useful, but not always helpful."

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

Image
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
