Hurricanes and Snow Storms Are Getting Stronger And Lasting Longer
Home Sweet Home!
It’s 5:35 in the afternoon and for the last 10 hours we have been working on getting the generators up because power has been out since 2 in the morning. Kicking ourselves because the generators have not been prepped since Ike hit us 17 months before. But now they’re working and everybody is thawing out. Except for the noise and regretfully, the noxious exhaust, everything is like normal because home is an RV.
A local news channel always ends the newscast with one of the anchors giving his ignorant 2 cents on whatever His Arrogance deems worthy of his biting critique.
Sure enough, he is now spouting a fact that the snow and ice we are experiencing in East Texas, (which would be normal in Minot, North Dakota), is proof that global warming is nonexistent and made up by followers of Al Gore to make him a billionaire. ??? — WHAT? — Really?!! — Oh good! My middle finger just came back to life. Hope the rest of my digits follow suit, that could be embarrassing.
Only way out!
People please, nobody said only the tropical storms would get worse. ALL STORMS are getting STRONGER and LONGER. The same words that have been said all along. And as for you Mr. Head-In-The-Sand, the Earth is annoyed and like a flea on a dog, she will scratch your pompous ass right off her surface, too bad she will take the rest of us with you.
Mother Nature will right herself, one extreme way or another.
On Christmas Eve, an expectant Colorado mom went into cardiac arrest during labor and died, along with her baby. But miraculously, both managed to revive.
New Year’s Resolution!
Just thought I’d share
my New Year’s resolutions
with you…
I will respond to all e-mail
(except chain letters)
in a timely manner.
I will learn to cook something
both low-fat AND delicious.
I will cease and desist
any and all bad habits
for an entire year.
(or at least until January 2nd)
I will do laundry on a regular basis
before it becomes
a possible fire hazard.
I will pick one place
to put my keys and the remote
so that I don’t spend half my life
running around like an idiot,
looking for them.
I will seek true enlightenment
and the meaning of life.
(while occasionally
remembering to floss.)
And my #1 resolution
is to always appreciate
great people like you.
It is that time of year on Hawaii. A one-day surfing competition held only in extreme conditions has been staged for the first time in five years, thanks to the massive waves pounding Hawaii’s famed North Shore. (more…)
Congratulations! If you’ve made it this far, it means you survived Black Friday. Whether you waited in line for hours or skipped the event all together, chances are you still have some holiday gifts that need to be made or purchased. For many of you, today, Cyber Monday, is the day to finish up those holiday gifting loose ends.
In many ways, shopping online allows us to enjoy a more relaxed, and more environmentally-conscious, experience. You have the opportunity to shop from the companies you value the most, there are no crowds, and often several legs of shipping and transport are avoided, reducing the items eventual carbon debt.

How to rope a deer (Names have been removed to protect the UNEDUCATED!)
Thought you could use a little levity
Actual letter from someone who farms and writes well!
I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.
The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.
