Well it's the first of the month again. I know I keep promising to post more often and I don't. I do try to think about it. I'm starting to make little notes about things I could ponder but for some reason I don't. One day I will surprise you and do it more often.
Anyway here is the latest picture of the swing.

I decided to change the angle I take. We have used the fire pit a few times. It's very cozy. Maybe some time soon I'll have to invite a few friends to come over for a little campfire therapy. I also want to get some special chairs to put around the pit.

Here is the picture from last year.

 Looks a bit different.

Once again I have not made a project from the book but I will be starting one real soon I promise.

As for pondering's, there are a few different things I can write about.

One thing was that guy who was trying to increase the price of a pill from $18 to $750. Talk about super greed. I looked up what the pill was for. It treats a parasite.A kind of parasite that people with week immune systems can get. He was suppose to lower the cost down again but I have not heard what he lowered it to. Just an example of the kind of dumb leadership that is beginning to show up everywhere. 
They like to use the saying it looks good on paper so it has to work in reality, right? Wrong!
The people who are making these kind of decisions have never worked the job they are suppose to be leading. To be a good leader you have to know everything about how it is done.

 As I'm writing this the news is reporting a shooting at a community collage.

How many more of these kind of shootings are we going to have to deal with?
People want to say it's a gun issue. 
I say it's a people issue. It takes a person to pull the trigger before it goes off.
I'm not a gun person. The husband has a number of guns for hunting. 
I can't imagine pulling a trigger and killing another human being.
To end someones life in the blink of an eye.
Then the shooter ends up dead. Is this a suicide by cop thing for some?
We can debate this issue till the cows come home. Look the cows are home. Kidding.
We can debate this issue till the end of time and never come to any agreement on how to handle it.
Maybe people should think about how much violence to shown to young people at a very young age. TV, neighborhoods, families. It's everywhere. People are constantly on edge.
Today at work one guy told me I don't have to say please when I ask for something. I don't have to be polite at work. But that's me. I feel more comfortable being nice and saying "Please" and "Thank you" when I need help with something.Or even saying "Sorry" I have found people usually respond better if you show them respect by using better language. And being calm and  patient gets better results.
Try it some time.You will surprised how much positive energy you will feel.   

I want to show you one more thing before I go.
I found this little bird sitting on the deck next to the house. He might have flown into the window or screen. He was a little out of it when I found him. I had to pick him up before the dog got it. It sat on my finger for awhile. See that spot on my shirt. He throw up on me. I believe he was drunk on berries. It looked like it was eating black berries. He sat on my finger for a few more minutes before he finally flew across the yard to a tree.

Well that was my excitement this last weekend. I wonder how many more drunken birds I'll find this fall and how many more will throw up on me?
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
