Late for 2-3 Days

The above is one of the many beautiful falls our photographer Kathy Meader took during her month in New Zealand. Besides jumping from tall buildings and besides going on a trail ride in which the trail guide gets lost. She had a fine time, including 2 eleven hour plane rides. Wow!

PS Have you signed up successfully for Affordable Health Care? Hmmmmmmm...And don't forget....if you like your original policy, you can keep it and you're favorite doctor. All that you can keep, until your required NEW policy kicks in. Huh? Can anyone say, " Hillary, welcome to the a White House"

Rick price took this shot of a snow crusted buffalo at Yellowstone last year. Ricks images are sometimes as haunting as they are beautiful. I was " chatting" with Rick last night and he confided in me that he has added up thousands of miles on his expeditions and was contemplating shutting it down for a bit. Although I wouldn't blame him, I do believe there are young and old and in between, who really appreciate his work. I said, "Ron. I don't think the people will let ya. They know the best when they have seen it. Meanwhile I am working on his massive data bases, both here on hard drive as well as a couple other secret locations

It has been announced that 10,000 dead in the

Philippines and would go up, way up. I saw whole towns of 200,000 people with no building standing. The smell of decomposing bodies was everywhere. America seems to have put fear into those who say. "Global Warming" so an MD who lives in the area said "I don't know if it was Global Warming but is was being caused by warmer weather"

I remembered that I have contributed to almost every extra terrible thing that happened, years ago. BUT our federal government has cut all food stamps by 62%. I have neighbors with children who sometimes don't eat. We have immigrants both legal and illegal coming in every day while my oldest boy lost his job of 13 years to Levi taking its factory to Mexico. Family First

I would like to report something more local. Americans on USDA food stamps were shocked this month t see their food stamps cut by 62 percent. Now I am just fine, but I do live in HUD and it happens to be one of the nicer HUD's in Washington partly because it is run by the "Sisters of Mercy" out of Denver Colorado. There are some unwed mothers here who I know were taken advantage of by scavenging young men with overstressed hormones. They make a young of age person pregnant with lots of talk about their great jobs and how they will marry them...then they disappear completely.

This problem is the direct cause of the hippie movement of the 1960's and 1970's when philosophies spelled "free love" and "sex, drugs and rock and roll" were almost anthems. Those hippies had children. Then their children had children and so on as we all know it goes. Here in this nice looking complex are a few young undereducated ladies, 3rd generation from the hippie generation, getting pregnant with no husband. What I care about is that the mothers and children eat right and that the deadbeat dads are found and made responsible.
