August 2017

Well it's the 1st of August. I don't know about you but it feels like this year has just been flying by faster then I want it to.
July had it's moments. 
Nothing earth shattering happened to me.
We did go hiking a few times. When it was not raining or too hot or the husband was not baling hay.
You want to see a few pictures?
Well they are:





 The hikes were all very good. The weather was just right most of the time.
During the hikes we saw different things. During one hike the husband almost walked into a bear. He was in front of me and about to round a curve in the trail when he stopped and said "Woo". I said. "What?"
He said, "Bear".
That's when I heard the bear start to go crashing though the woods. He figured it was about a 300 lbs.
I just hope we do not run into any more.
I still plan on trying to get the trail through Taylor County done by I hope Labor Day weekend. At least that's when he wants to be done. He wants to start getting ready to go bow hunting. 
I have not met to many people while we are hiking.
We hike in the mornings usually on Sunday mornings. It's the best time to right now before it gets to hot.
right now the deer flies are really bad. But I wear mesh bags of peppermint leaves off my hat by my ears and that keeps them away from my head. You should try it. I'm not crazy. I bet it would even work if you hung some in a tent if you are camping. Give it try. What harm could it do.

I have not been working on any projects. I will get my butt in gear one of these days and resume me creations. You will be the first to see them when I do.

I suppose I should do a little pondering.
I think I will start with the weather. 
We were getting a lot of rain here but for the past week not so much here. But there was one day where it was really weird. It started raining on the west side of the house really hard. I was at the computer with a view of the front of the house and the back. I turned and waited for it to start pouring in the back. It didn't. I had never experienced anything like that before. Just another sign that this year is a very unusual one, everywhere.

I know I shouldn't comment on political things but it gets very frustrating listening about the stupidity going on in the White House. 
We are being lead by an elementary school child.
At least that's what it feels like.
I only ask, "Will he ever get his act together and be a true leader or continue to divide us, as a nation and leave us vulnerable to other forces?'
Maybe it is time for the aliens to come back and set us straight about being better beings.

One thing I'm looking forward to this month is the solar eclipse. I even took the day off from work to be able to see whatever can be seen from my house. Which may not be much, but why not. With my luck it will be raining that day and it won't make a difference.   
Well that's about all I have to share with you today.  
I know it was short and fairly boring. I was even bored writing it.
I'll figure something out for the next one. Maybe it will be more informative.

So for now I'll say just 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
