Dads Award

I know I promised to post yesterday but I swear I have a good excuse. Let me explain.
First off, I got up a little later then I thought I would. 
Second, the husband got up right after I did. Well not long after. Just about the time I was planning to post here. I don't write well when he is hovering around. I do not focus well.
The rest of the day I was busy.
I went to a birthday party for my nieces little boy who just turned one. That was an afternoon thing.
At night I went to a ceremony that recognized different people and businesses in the community for different things. I went because my dad got the Lifetime Achievement award.

 Now if your wondering what he has done, I will say what hasn't he done.
He was a volunteer fireman for many years. He still hangs around there helping with different things and going to the meetings.
He is an EMT.
He has been on the church council and is still very active in the church.
He was on the board of a local credit union.
He is an alderman on the city council.
He is the kind of guy that you ask to help do something and he always does.
He gets things done.
For many years he worked in garage.
He worked as maintenance at the local hospital, he still does some work at some of the clinics connected to our local hospital once a month.
He does not say NO to anyone. 
That's why he got this award.

So that is my reason for not writing yesterday. 
Right now I'm trying to type but my cat is trying to stop me. She keeps trying to attack my hand and flick her tail in my face.
I will maybe one day this week or by the next weekend post some real ponders, so bare with me.
Today will be another kind of busy day. So not much time to write.
So I will close for now.
Remember, to always 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

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
