...Iced movements..
Not to be crude, but it’s literally so icy that while my dog Lady Bailey was .. making a movement.. she was also gliding down the yard at the same time.

It’s been a long week. Peace..

Barbara Walters’ special tonight on ABC is quite thought provoking.. David Letterman, years ago, had Regis Philbin on his show where they spoke about a typical check up.. The day after, the entertainment world was shocked to learn of Letterman’s dramatic and necessary open heart surgery.. When Letterman came back, Robin Williams appeared as a doctor making light of Letterman’s surgery. Regis had his own open heart surgery in 2007.. Robin Williams in 2009.
While of course I am not at all simplifying the issue of claiming there is anything ‘contagious’ about open heart surgery, but the reason I bring it up is that these three influential people—not to mention President Bill Clinton, reporter Charlie Rose, and reporter Barbara Walters—would have all been potentially taken away from earth and placed into the next realm..
Were they are to have succumbed to their ultimate fate, there would be plenty of lessons left untaught..
The biggest names of our generation all had the same disease.. And amazingly they are all alive to tell us why we need to stay on guard for the same thing.
DRINK UP..
Just in time for the weekend, Men’s Healthis out with a full listing of the drunkest cities in the United States..
Did you make the cut?
More drinking needed?
Do the cities with the highest amounts of heart disease also coincide with the drunkest of all?
While I’d have to do more research on that, Men’s Health has the full list, but reprinted here is the top ten:
1.) Fresno, CA
2.) Reno, NV
3.) Billings, MT
4.) Riverside, CA
5.) Austin, TX
6.) St. Louis, MO
7.) San Antonio, TX
8.) Lubbock, TX
9.) Tucson, AZ
10.) Bakersfield, CA
Should we have a phobia over Apophis?
NASA says no.. WE should still live after 2029—and 2036. That’s only under the scenario of us making it through 2012..
And if we make it through December, I believe we’ll be fine.
Texas the iceland
The Super Bowl days away, and now people are having trouble catching flights due to winter weather. I can’t imagine it is something the NFL would have dreamed would happen, even this time of year, in a Southern state. Perhaps Super Bowl 2012 will be moved to Mexico..(at least they have power, unlike parts of Texas including hospitals)… As a matter of fact, there have been more than a few angry voices talking about Texas having problems keeping power in—except for the location of this year’s Super Bowl..

Egypt state television tonight is showing images of flowers .. All the while panic, chaos, and anarchy rule on the streets
That plus journalists are being threatened for simply showing what is occurring.. The world is watching — or at least trying to … Images on TV of Brian Williams from NBC News using a flashlight to light his own face to report the events of Egypt are simply surreal. We are watching this live on TV and the Internet. This is history. And as I’ve said before, living through history is never pleasant..
Three major news networks today faced threats
ABCNEWS REPORTER THREATENED WITH BEHEADING…
CBSNEWS Lara Logan, Crew Detained…
FOXNEWS reporter, cameraman beaten, hospitalized…
These nets, along with many others, facing threats in Egypt.. Things are seemingly escalating beyond control on the streets of rage.
"DEMOCRACY NOW"? ..
Things are growing in insanity in Egypt.. While demonstrators shout ‘democracy now,’ other pro Mubarak forces march into Tahrir Square on camels, hellbent to injure or kill.. and all the while journalists are braving the streets, hiding cameras, and trying to show images of the revolution and devolution in Egypt..

The joys of the jobless?
Money quote from this article:
But really, once you stop working you realize that you don’t need a whole lot of money. I mean, I think that when you start working, you’re essentially trading your leisure time (i.e. happiness) for money. And then when you’re working and miserable, the natural impulse is to try and reverse that transaction and buy some of your happiness back. So you become a compulsive shopper

Hopefully we’re not on the Eve of Destruction.. Just maybe we’re only on the eve of an early spring..
Be positive.. right? … as Australia’s Cyclone churns and Egypt’s Cairo burns.. and even the Jordon River has bodies.. but tell me over and over and over again my friends… that you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction
State Department says US government flights out of Egypt after Thursday 'unlikely'
…take the message as it reads. It’s a game changing day..
This television is rated FS for freaking scary.. Dramatic scenes are unfolding on live TV and real time Internet. But living through history never was pleasant, these events included. Prayers for Cairo and Egypt as battle lines get drawn and rational protest gets drowned out by madness in the streets..
The world is on fire
Watching live coverage on Msnbc with Brian Williams and Richard Engel .. They are broadcasting live from Egypt in what was once a safe location .. on CNN Anderson Cooper is hovering inside as his location got more dangerous.. The disintegrating situation in Egypt appears to be spinning out of control for the entire world to see

UFO in the holy city?
A mysterious orb of light caught in camera dropping from the sky over Israel..
At this point, no plausible earthly explanations besides trickery of some kind—but even that is doubtful with multiple videos of the ball of light being existent.

Just as a point of reference..
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s peak winds were about 175 MPH or so, and caused vast destruction.. The storm being seen in Australia at this moment may have winds in excees of 183 mph… This storm is larger than Katrina and stronger as well..

Yasi has "unprecedented ferocity"
Australian report on Yasi reads like this:
Cyclone Yasi is building as a storm of unprecedented ferocity - the likes of which hasn’t been seen since 1918.
Yasi is on track to make landfall between Innisfail and Cardwell about 10pm (AEST) on Wednesday, with authorities confident they have the site within a 30km range of accuracy

Do you like throwing weather out of proportion? -bill
Thanks for the feedback.. And my official “follower” Freddy gif thanks you too.
"Great" question "bill" .. I don’t know what exactly you mean "throwing"
the weather out of proportion? Perhaps you meant “blowing” it out of proportion. And no, I don’t. I really don’t like it at all.. but “bill,” when you have a massive Cyclone named Yasi that is about to strike and cause human life to be lost, and when you have a storm taking up a vast portion of a continent with snow and ice, I think that is very important and meaningful. And really, it is going to affect a lot of people. 100 million here.. And while I’m not quite sure how many in Australia, I’d venture to say quite a few.
And Bill, they care. I care that my power may go out with ice.. Chicaco cares since they are crippled due to a massive blizzard.. people that have to take shelter at the Red Cross care.. And Bill, I trust you’re somewhere warm, perhaps a beach or a desert, and maybe you have a nice clear sky above your safe home, tucked away in no man’s land. But guess what, Bill, a lot of other people don’t. And since they don’t, the news becomes important.
Hence: The links, the photos, the stories. And so long as I have this little Tumblelog on the net, I will put forward what I feel is important. Even if people think I ‘throw’ it out of proportion…
ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD.
As the great 2000 Mile of 2011 Blizzard strikes the United States with over a foot of snow in places and inches of ice in others, the other part of the world is nervously awaiting fate as Cyclone Yasi churns.. While people will be hunkering down within the next few minutes to hours, authorities are amplifying the fear by telling Australians: Don’t panic if the roof comes off. Other dire warnings include $500 mil or more in damage to sugarcane growers. Devastation is coming, they say, for banana growers. .. Island paradise turns into island fear.
And besides the fear over how much money will be lost in farms, other immediate concerns turn to human life itself. How many people are prepared for this storm? The onslaught is due to be challenging at best and life threatening for hours at worst..
People in Australia are bracing for drenching rains and ferocious winds. Cyclone Yasi has achieved an unthinkable but very real Category 5 status tonight, tomorrow their time…
And this to a nation that has been ravaged by floods and true horror over the past several weeks.
IMPACTS…SNOW AND ICE COVERED ROADS WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS
TRAVEL CONDITIONS. POWER OUTAGES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO
THICK ACCRETIONS OF FREEZING RAIN.* WINDS…EAST TO NORTHEAST 5 TO 10 MPH IN THE VALLEYS…AND
SOUTHEAST 10 TO 20 MPH ON THE RIDGES. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
WEST ACROSS THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS AND CENTRAL MOUNTAIN`S IN THE
WAKE OF A COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON…AND INCREASE TO 15 TO
20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE LATER WEDNESDAY.
…Snow is one thing. Freezing rain for hours upon end are quite another. And a half inch of ice with 40 mile per hour winds is going to be possibly disastrous for a whole lot of people.
