What's this I hear about a blizzard?

Spring was finally beginning to unfold before our eyes-and now the local weathermen are calling for blizzard like conditions starting late Thursday night lasting all day Friday with 10" of snow possible and 50 mph wind gusts! Brrrrr!

British Columbia, Canada-Taku River 2001

Less than 2 steps behind me was a drop off that I estimated to be at least 300 feet. I was so glad to get far away from the ledge!

Paris, France 1994

If my memory serves me correctly, this is a statue of Zeus and his children-it is in the Jardin des Tuileries. We found it after we walked for miles to see the Louvre and saw the signs that said the museum was closed for renovations! It was still fun walking around that area and seeing all the sights.

Paris, France 1994

It rained the whole time we were in Paris, but it was still the most beautiful city I have ever seen. I could never get a good picture with the Eiffel Tower in the background because if was in the clouds.

New Orleans, Louisiana 1998

An ornate mausoleum outside of New Orleans

Munster, Germany 1994

The spire of that church has cages-they would put various criminals inside of them until dead back in the day. Shudder.

Juneau, Alaska 2001

We are taking off from the Juneau airport in a boat plane to be flown to the middle of nowhere to a mountain lake. Then we were taken by helicopter even further to a point on the Taku River. We then rafted/roughed it back to Juneau for 8 days.

British Columbia, Canada-Taku River 2001

I found this rock on a hike we took up the side of a mountain in search of a glacier.

British Columbia, Canada-Taku River 2001

I finally got the hang of rafting-the water was so cold that it hurt to touch it. I'd have to fill up my jug and set it near the fire to get it to a temperature to be able to drink it.

British Columbia, Canada-Taku River 2001

You could close your eyes, push the button and take a picture like this everywhere we went!

Near Munster, Germany 1994

I actually forgot where this was-I think it was somewhere between Munster and Norderney-it was such a whirlwind trip.

British Columbia, Canada-Taku River 2001

I scanned some of my favorite pictures today of various trips. This is one night before bed, I loved how the clouds were among us. It got just a bit darker than this but not by much-I never did get used to it being light all the time.

Efficiency Expert

The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home.".

"Why not?" asked somebody from the audience..

"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time. One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'"

"Did it save time?" the guy in the audience asked.

"Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

Report: Slain US Nazi hated Obama, had parts for 'dirty bomb'

Trust fund millionaire James G. Cummings, an American Nazi sympathizer from Maine who was slain by his wife Amber in December, allegedly had the radioactive components necessary to construct a "dirty bomb," a newly released threat analysis report states.

The man, allegedly furious over the election of President Obama, purchased depleted uranium over the Internet from an American company.

Slim Suit

I remember when I was a kid that my Dad bought one of these. The only time I remember him wearing it was this one summer day he put it on and jogged around the block-when he came home he called to my Mom in a woozy panic.

She made him take it off and stand in front of the air conditioner window unit while drinking a glass of ice water. Later when I was taking out the trash, it was on the top.

Get To Know Us First

gettoknowusfirst.org ads were rejected from airing during the Superbowl:

Late Friday afternoon, KNBC told our ad agency that the NFL Legal Department had viewed our ad and rejected it, explaining they planned to show no "advocacy" ads during their entire day of programming, from Road to the Superbowl at 9:00 am through the end of the game.

It became clear to us while watching the broadcast, that a number of such ads, (including TobaccoFreeCA and DontBeAnAsterisk.org) were playing in rotation.

Rare footage of London Circa 1904

Via Sky News

An exerpt:

It's a film that's been hidden from view for more than a century and now I have been invited to see London life on the big screen - 1904-style.

The historian stumbled on the footage, 104 years after it was filmed, while doing a routine search in the Australian National Film Archive.

This is only a little bit of the 12 minute silent documentary called Living London, made by American film pioneer Charles Urban.

Poor horse!

"The young filly needed to be freed from the tree after curiosity got the better of it and it wedged its head between separate sections of the trunk.

The horse, called Gracie, was unable to free itself and could have been in danger were it not for a passer-by who was able to come to the rescue after he heard the horse whinnying .

Jason Harschbarger, a neighbour in the town of Pullman, West Virginia, USA, arrived at the scene which resembled the image of Winnie the Pooh getting stuck in the honey tree.

Mr Harschbarger collected his tools and was able to carefully set the horse free by using a chainsaw to slowly cut the wood around its neck.

However, before he did so, he was able to take a few photographs.

Fortunately for Gracie, she was able to escape her ordeal with only a few minor injuries and, according to Mr Harschbarger, is on the road to recovery.

Following his rescue operation, Mr Harschbarger told a local television station: "She has a few cuts on her face and ear.

"Last I heard her jaw was a little dislocated but I think it is healing up and she can eat on her own again."

It remains unclear why Gracie put her head into the gap." story via Telegraph.co.uk and Bits and Pieces

Fear, bigotry, racism and hatred...

This is all over the news today:



And their point is? Fear, bigotry, racism and hatred. It is getting to the point of ridiculous that they are using fear to discredit instead of using the issues. If this is what a party is reduced to in desperation to garner votes, it's pathetic and I cannot believe that people are falling for it! Some of their own are even jumping ship!

If I were a republican I would be so offended being referred to as "Joe six-pack" and having my own party instill fear and hatred to garner my vote. People are angry, stressed and scared about our economic health and we get this crap from them instead of reassurance? Then on top of it being called unpatriotic because I don't live where Palin happens to be visiting?

I guess the Socialism angle isn't working to well:



I think they have a lot to be worried about.

This cracked me up..

While at Target...

Some idiot hit my car while parking and didn't wait around...

It wasn't meant to be..

I was still torn on whether to keep the puppy earlier today. Rick's son Brian was over and was holding her and she starting having a seizure. I held her and she finally came out of it and acted normal as if nothing had happened.

I had a dog, Bouncer, who had seizures for years and she lived to be 14 so I wasn't too worried about that being a factor although I was worried why the puppy just started having one.

A little later, Rick was holding her, petting on her. She started having another one. Rick handed her to me and about 30 seconds later she was back to normal and while I was kissing on her she went totally limp and died in my arms.

I tried doing CPR but it didn't work. I am still in shock. It brought back so much, having just lost Randy. It brought back losing Bouncer and Reggie who I lost and had tried CPR on him as well.

She was such a cute little precious puppy and I'm so freaking mad and upset that this happened.

To puppy or not to puppy

This is the puppy I woke up to today. Rick brought her home in a campaign to get me to fall in love with her and want to keep her. She is a mix between a chihuahua and a terrier of some sort. Still undecided...

Fossil HIV

Using a technique called molecular clock analysis, they were able to plot the two viral sequences' evolutionary path back in time to determine when they diverged.



They concluded the strains evolved from a common ancestor that emerged in Africa near the beginning of the twentieth century around 80 years before the disease appeared in western populations.
