    Thanksgiving eve eve snow

    It’s Mutley’s first snowstorm. My son loves looking at snow but doesn’t want much play in it. Ironically Mutley is the same .. He does, though , enjoy licking it off sidewalks. That is currently the one action that separates his enjoyment of snow from my son’s..

    Newtown shooter Adam Lanza acted alone, had no clear motive, according to a new report »

    I saw some anger about this report—some of the families of those slain by Lanza appeared to be hostile to this report. One analysis I read said that it’s a detailed report and really did not have to be. The report in essence was only to determine if any more suspects should be arrested. It could have been only one page long with one sentence on it, but instead the State’s Attorney’s report is more detailed.. 
    The overall hint is that the gun violence and mental illness of Lanza became a deadly combination. 
    The good part of this whole horrible event is that maybe something will finally take place to improve mental health in the United States. The WASHINGTON TIMES reports, 
    Rep. Tim Murphy, Pennsylvania Republican, said last week he intends to introduce legislation next month “to fix the problems that have plagued the nation’s mental health system for decades.”
    He said in 1955 there were 550,000 psychiatric beds and today there are fewer than 40,000, that the standard to make sure a mentally ill person gets treatment is unworkable, and that federal privacy laws make information-sharing in such cases difficult.
    “We have to advance this so we have a key to unlock the door,” Mr. Murphy said. “I ask my colleagues to join me in working for these mental health reforms so that families can share the joy of recovery, instead of the sadness of loss.”
    As far as Lanza and the lack of a motive: Would a motive have really made any more sense to this senseless evil? Would a reason to kill innocent beautiful children given any more help to those grieving, almost one year since the nightmare stole Christmas in 2012?
    I say no.
    I recall how sad those days were after this shooting.
    And now a year later we are reminded of it all over again.
    I don’t think a motive would have even made sense … Nothing can make sense of what Adam Lanza did that fateful December morning in 2012..
  • A sinkhole to hell: Did the owner take his pond with him?

    A sinkhole to hell: Did the owner take his pond with him?

    A massive sinkhole has developed in Bosnia, shocking those who see it, and pervading a seemingly peaceful countryside with a shocking image of how cruel the planet earth can be.

    SANICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Just outside the rustic village, children fished in a tranquil pond bobbing with green algae and lined with willow trees, as cattle grazed nearby.
    Now, Rezak Motanic gazes in disbelief down a gigantic moonlike crater where the pond used to be. It’s like something from a science fiction movie: a sinkhole swallowed the water, the fish and even nearby trees. 
    To the weary eyes strained on daily news, this should come as no shock. There seems to be an increased amount of sinkholes across the crust lately. Maybe we can chalk it up to increased attention, or …just maybe there are more of them.
    The prospects of having a pond filled with fish and life simply vanish before you eyes is unbelievable. 
    And as these things go, the AP reports, townsfolk are coming up with paranormal ideas and dismissing scientific ones. The most interesting of thoughts: The owner of the pond just died–and took the pond with him.
    While some may scoff at those with superstitious theories, think of this: The amount of hell on earth that Bosnia went through is inescapable. It’s no shock that they believe that evil can be alive and well under their feet–paranormal is what they lived with for thirty years.
    The AP story ended like this:
    “Only days before Hasan passed away he said: ‘I’ll take everything with me when I die.’ And that’s what he did,” Motanic said. “His daughter saw him walk on the lake the night he died.” 
    Husein Nanic said it could be a sign that the end is nigh: “All sort of miracles happen before the doomsday,” he said. 
    A little stroll through daily headlines may leave us all with the impression that the Mayan calender may have been off about twelve months.
  • Every time I laugh at the ‘prophecy of the popes’ this happens: Francis does something to remind me of it

    Every time I laugh at the ‘prophecy of the popes’ this happens: Francis does something to remind me of it

    The latest event to raise my conspiracy-tainted eyebrows: The Vatican has Peter the Roman on the display—the first pope—and it’s the first time. It’s happening under the watchful pontificate of Pope Francis. 

    Reports indicate that the bones of the body supposedly of Peter. 
    Does this pope knowingly make these allusions to St Peter just to  mess with people?
