Steamshow 2013

This weekend the husband and I went to the Steam Show by Edger.
We went on Saturday because we knew that on Sunday it was going to be even hotter. Being a kind of farmer, the husband is always interested in tractors. There was also a good sized flea market. There are so many things to look at. Here are a few pictures that I took of a couple of the tractors.


These are a couple of the steam engines. These things are very loud. At noon they had all the steam engines blow their whistles. I was glad I was on the furthest end of the flea market when they went off.
This yellow one just caught my eye because I think it was a homemade one I think, but I could be wrong.
I thought this guy looked like he needed a hug.
So I gave him a hug. I think everyone needs a hug from time to time. 
Unfortunately this guy was not for sale. He was on the soft side. He did have a buddy on the bench with him so he was not totally alone in his misery.
The bench was for sale but I was not in the market for one and did not look at the price.
One last thing that I took a picture of was this rather large motorcycle.


Well that's what I did with my weekend when we were not staying cool in the air conditioning. Which, will be what I'll be doing I think this whole week. 

So that's it 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

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

Pondering Prayer and the Weather

I'm trying to figure out what to ponder that has not been pondered lately. Not having much luck right now. But lets see.... There is the case over Wausau way where the trail for the father of an 11 year old girl who died from untreated diabetes just got over with. He was found guilty. The wife was found guilty back in May. They could both get 25 years. In this day and age here in the US it's hard to believe people still believe that prayer alone can fix things. I have nothing against prayer but we do have the knowledge to fix things medically. If we were not meant to have this knowledge we would not have it. It's there, so use it. Prayer can give an added energy boost to help healing but it alone will not fix things like diabetes. Having a medical problem does not mean you have sinned and are being punished by God for it. Things happen because somethings happen not because you did something wrong. There is a person I work with that has a belief that cancer comes from having
