What to do while I hibernate

It's cold outside. How cold is it? 8 below, with a wind chill of  22 below at 6:11 in the am. I do not plan on going out much if I can help it today. I will have to take care of my outside animals. So I have to go out to do that. The husband said something about going to town to get some extra gas for the generator just in case the power should happen to go out. It shouldn't, but you never know.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to post right now so I decided to open the dictionary, randomly. Point to a word, then Google it and see what kind of images pop up. The word was habeas corpus.
Here is the first one.

I think I'll see if I can find another word, lets see....
Grant. The first image is..
Ulysses S. Grant.
Actually that's exactly what the dictionary had first as a definition.

Well that's enough random things.
I plan on working on the projects. I do have all three baskets done and two sets of the fish. I'm still working on the ones that look like walleye. Later today I'll take a picture of what I have done and if not today maybe tomorrow I'll post what they look like together.
The only other thing we will be doing today is watching the Packer's and the 49ers  play in the extremely cold. Who do I think will win? Does it really matter? They will all be hiding under blankets for days after they get done playing. And so will anyone who is at the stadium. I know I would be. It can take a long time to get the chill out of bones after something like that. I do it from time to time after I get done with work some days. It's weirdest time doing that is when it's summertime and curled up under a blanket till you can warm up. Or not rolling down the windows in a warm car till you warm up. I miss summer right now.
But we will survive the next few days of below zero temps. I get lucky tomorrow, the husband is going to take me to work just so the car doesn't have to sit outside while I'm at work. I hate getting into a very cold car, then sitting there for awhile till you know it will be safe to move without the car freezing or moving very slowly till it warms up.

Well that's my ponders for now.
Till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibility.

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
