The drive to work


 
Driving to work the other day I got to thinking about the different things I've seen or experienced on the way to work.
There have been some times I wish I had a camera with me. Like I'm not sure how many years ago it was but, it was when there was no snow on the ground and it was very light out. It must have been before they changed our working time to 6am instead of 6:30 am. Anyway, I come up over the hill at the end of my road and looked across, it almost took my breath away. There was a low hanging fog in the low spot and all you could see was the roof of a house. If I would have had time I would have run back home to get my camera. But I didn't so the only thing I have is the memory.  
Living in the country in the middle of Wisconsin most of the traffic jams I experience are a little different then you would in the city.
Like deer on the road. 
There have been allot of times when a deer has decided to join me on the road.
I always see them soon enough so I slow down before they get on the road or they are far enough ahead of me they are already across before I get to that spot. But there are a few times they just seam to want to race you down the road. It's kind of funny watching them run with their tail up and waving from side to side.

Another time I was driving to work
and I did not meet another car all the way till I got to work. I have to drive through town to get to work. Now that was kind of spooky when you let your imagination run wild.


Also living in Wisconsin you get to enjoy all the different weather issues. Sometimes in the morning, in the winter, you can get stuck behind a snow plow. Lots of fun.


If the weather is to bad I know that my personal driver will take me to work.
 

Well that's my post for now.
Till next time, keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

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
