It's the first of a month and I finally have a little time to post something.
To start with here is a picture of the swing I just took.

It's a nice sunny day right now, but it is a little on the chilly side. It's around 20 degrees right now. Not a whole lot of snow on the round right now. Next week it is suppose to get warmer. I hope we do have an early spring. I want to do things outside.
Now to compare, here are pictures from the last two years.

Last year.

2014
Now that year we had snow.
With each year we are getting less and less snow. I wonder how much we will have next year at this time.

I'm sorry to say I do not have a project done. It's almost done but not quite. I will have it finished by the start of next month, I promise. Plus I might have another one also, maybe.

I suppose I should ponder something.
Since today is what they are calling Super Tuesday I guess I could comment on the possibilities of what could happen after I post this entry.
It does not look good.
If Trump comes out ahead of the pack and claims an over all victory, I do not see anything good coming from it. The things this man could get us into because of his mouth is a very scary thing for me to think about. People want to find ways to help stop bulling but, with someone like that leading the country, why even try anymore. Bulling will be the thing to be known for. 
Common sense and respect will be thrown right out the window.
I can not see this man representing ME to the world. Do you really want him to represent YOU? 
Being a phony baloney will be a must.
As for the rest of the republicans, stop trying to play his game, I like to call, "Who can make fun of who the best"
Talk issues. Talk plans. Stop stooping to his level. Be the grown up.

As for the democrats, I'm thinking it will be Hillary. In my eyes, she is the lesser of two evils. I would like to see a woman president but is she the right one? 

I have had a thought that I wonder if I could get people to join in on. What is it you ask? 
Well, as some of you know I have another blog called, "Dear Howard, a Fading History". It's based on old letters that were sent to my grandpa in the 1920's. Some of the letters are very interesting. They get me thinking about all the small and big things that happen that fade away never to be heard of again. 
Anyway, every once in awhile I think about putting together a kind of time capsule that would not be opened for a hundred years. I think it would be very interesting to to get people to maybe keep a kind of journal for a year. Then collect all the journals. Seal them up so no one can read them, not even me. Find a place to store them with instructions that it not be opened for 100 years. The things that could be stored away and not revealed until long after everyone you know is gone.How honest would people be? 
The things that could be collected would range from day to day happenings from people that would not other wise be remembered as an important person. 
Thoughts about things that were going on at the time in the world.  
Newspaper clippings.
Prices of different things.
Pictures of the people involved.
Just information about anything and everything.
So I have a question for you. Would you like to be involved in something like this?
Just think about how much things have changed in the last hundred years. What could the world be like in another hundred? Wouldn't you like to remind the world you did exist and you had ideas about how things would be in the future?
 
Well that's about all I have for you today.
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
