Happy Thanksgiving!

by on Nov.26, 2015, under Favorites, Images

Tried to find a really nice traditional image to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving but most were either political or otherwise just dumb. But here’s a picture of my dog Cato and I think he was protecting those pumpkins! His picture is here because I am thankful for my rescue dog. He makes my life better.

Cato and his pumpkins

Otherwise, I’ll hope that everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving, and that if they are lucky enough to have the chance to share the day with family, they do so. Black Friday is one thing, but leaving home before, during, or right after Thanksgiving dinner – is it really necessary??? And isn’t it rude???

Being around for Thanksgiving next year is not guaranteed – for any of us…

If I’m going to share my discouraged thoughts about the state of our nation then I can certainly share a good “funny.” Just click on the image. The look on the kid’s face is priceless…

California Fires – Horrible Devastation

by on Sep.13, 2015, under Images

It’s easy to just skim past a headline when the words “California” and “fire” are combined.

But it shouldn’t be.

Just imagine if this was your house or this was your neighborhood pictured below:

++ Thousands flee fast-moving, out-of-control California fire as governor expands state of emergency

Just because most of us can’t do anything to help stop this latest tragic fire, doesn’t mean we can’t take a moment on this Sunday afternoon to say a quick prayer for the citizens and firefighters who are just hoping to survive this blaze.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant tweeted Sunday morning that the fire has burned up 62 1/2 square miles.

Four firefighters suffered second-degree burns in fighting the blaze and are hospitalized in stable condition. The fire forced the evacuation of two towns as well as residents along a 35-mile stretch of State Route 29.

Brown had earlier declared a state of emergency for a separate 101-square-mile wildfire about 70 miles southeast of Sacramento.

More than 4,000 firefighters are working to beat back the flames of that fire and crews increased containment to 20 percent by early Sunday. Mandatory evacuations remain in place.

The fire, which broke out on Wednesday, destroyed 86 homes, 51 outbuildings and was threatening about 6,400 more. Teams had arrived by Sunday to assess the damage.

People who are still in their homes but threatened by approaching fire are at this moment, trying to decide what and how much they can take, and how much they will have to leave.

There are wild animals dying in the fire, acres and acres of trees have been destroyed, and the air quality for those fighting this fire cannot be good. People are leaving their homes and their possessions – not knowing if anything will be there when they return.

I believe a prayer is the least we can do…

Just For Fun!

No more cats sitting on a warm TV!

I found this little cartoon online today and thought it was pretty funny – and TRUE!

I’ve had a computer in my home for about 35 years. Built the first one from a Heath kit! Can you remember a time when you didn’t have a home computer? Or a skinny TV? Do you still have a landline? I do. I’m hanging on just out of stubbornness.

Remember those great big “Hi-Fi” units? My parents had one that was nearly as long as the living room wall, but boy could that thing make some great sounds! You stored the records in one side of the cabinet, then there was the big screen (for our time) TV, and the stereo.

Most of these things disappeared along with transistor radios, manual typewriters, and a hundred other things I can’t think of at the moment.

One thing I didn’t ponder though was where the cats will now sleep…

Happy Tuesday!
