The beginning of a new year. I just wonder what kind of surprises it has in store for me and the world. I'm really looking forward to it. But I know there will be a few bumps along the way. And a number of annoying things. Like putting up with the mud fights the politicians will be having. Don't you wish they could stop picking on each other and prove exactly how they can do the right things for the country. Another annoying thing is the constant whining of people who just want someone else to take care of their problems. Like my Dad always told me growing up: "You got yourself into the mess you get yourself out." And you know that Mother nature will continue to be a whole lot more active in her destruction then we like to see. My youngest one says that she thinks Mother Nature is by-polar. I say she is going through the change, like me. No matter what happens this year I'm going to continue to be a more a positive person to those around me. Look at th...

It's another quiet Sunday morning here and I am up a little later then last time. It's already light out. I don't see the sun itself yet but it won't be long. I have been watching the news about the volcano that's spewing ash all over Europe. What a mess. I wonder how long it will doing that? I think last time it spewed it did it for 13 months. Can you imagine it spewing for over a year disrupting air travel? All the things that will get messed up. To sum it up, the whole world economy. No planes in the sky. People will have to travel by bus or boat or car. The weather will get more messed up. Breathing for some people, if not most people, will be harder.We will be dusting ash off everything. I think some people think that we as humans should be able to find a way to control it. What I mean is that there will be people complaining to governments about it making it sound like they should stop it.Well, they will know it's not possible to stop a volcano from eru...

My brain does not want to think lately about much of anything important. It's tired of all the political things on TV and the news. Tired of hearing about the war which is not ours but is a civil war, but I will say we did start things in motion for it. Tired of looking at white. Tired of seeing the price of gas go up and up never to see low prices again. Tired of celebrities who do dumb things just get their pics in as many magazines as possible. Tired of busy bodies who do nothing but try to make others look bad or accuse others of things they themselves are guilty of but pretend they don't till they are caught red handed and then try to get people to feel sorry for them. I guess I'm just tired or maybe I'm just a nut in a rut. I need a challenge, something different to do, a project of some kind, a mission of some sort. But what? I need ideas. Maybe it's just a bad case of cabin fever. Or a maybe I've o.d.ed on seeing too much white. White outside and white ...
