Last Friday I took a trip to Milwaukee with the oldest one to see a Kelly Clarkson concert. I enjoyed the concert very much. The oldest one had won something so she was given the chance to sing on stage with the band while they were doing their sound check. I never even knew she could sing or that she would ever have the guts to get on a stage and do anything. But she did. I did record it. I could post it here but it's not a very good recording and she won't let me hear the recording they made and gave to her. Someday I'll get it out of her or if she really ticks me off I will post the one I do have here. We also were given the chance to meet Kelly. And she is a hugger. As for me I think I look like a deer caught in the headlights.  She had a very good show. I enjoyed it very much. As for the rest of the trip, that is another story. Traveling with the oldest one can be a very tense time. She is 24 years old but like me does not look her age, she looks younger and is oft...

There has been allot on the news lately about  a balloon and a little boy. I just want to ask, how dumb are people? To believe that a six year old boy was in that balloon. I could see that by watching how the balloon was flying that he was not in there. Have you ever seen Myth Busters? On one show they did one about the tale that a little girl was lifted up into the air when she grabbed a bunch of balloons. They proved that this was not possible by a small bunch of balloons but would have taken allot more just to get the weight of the child off the ground. They used a huge building to do this experiment. It was about three stories high or higher to do this in.I can't remember how many it did take to get the weight of a small child off the ground but when they were done it was the size of a hot air balloon. If you ask me this family knew it was not possible for that balloon to support the weight of their little boy. They wanted attention. I think they believe it was a way to get a...

 On Monday we got out first snow fall of the year. It's a little earlier then I wanted but who can argue with Mother Nature when she decides something. She does what she wants when she wants. Here are a few pictures of her early winter gifts to us. As you can see allot of trees still have their leaves on yet. Right now this snow is all melted and it might get into the 50's next week. Mother Nature has certainly been doing her best  to keep us on our toes. But I think I would rather have this snow then the problems they are having in California right now. Or even all those earth quakes that are happening.I just wonder what else she has in store for us.    Thought of the Day; "Raindrops are kisses from the skies."

I've had a quiet week, but I did work Saturday. That will be two Saturdays on the next check. But I also do not have to work this next Friday because they are going to start a new system at work and they  have to get things setup. I know boring. You really don't want to hear about this stuff. One of the interesting things that happened this week was on Friday over in Wausau a truck carrying molasses overturned and spilled molasses all over the road. Now that was a very sticky situation. No one was hurt, that is a good thing. It did make the downtown smell very sweet. Another thing this week is the weather. It snowed a little bit yesterday. Time to break out the winter jackets, already. I'm not sure I'm ready for winter yet. But all the signs are telling me it's going to be a long and cold winter. Remember that couple that was on trial for praying over their daughter instead of taking her to the doctor and she died from untreated diabetes. Well they were senten...

 I just feel like rambling about all kinds of things today.These are some of the things that ran through my head today. October 1st. Where did the time go? Where did the summer go? As far as I can tell we had no summer here. It's already gotten so cool that we have gotten the wood stove going. More then likely is not that early for us to do it but I just feel like this year has just flown by. I guess the older you get the faster time flies. At this pace in another ten years it should feel like I just got out of bed by the time it's time to get back in. You know there are allot more earthquakes going on in the same area.  My heart goes out to all those who live in those areas. There could be more shaking going on here in the states or really anywhere. There also is allot more flooding going on all over the world. The earth is going through a change. In my opinion, people of the world should be getting ready for all the things that mother nature is going to throw at them ins...
