An infant and a 6 year old.. with a scary future for each
After reading news, listening to it too, and fearing the future, just a quick glance at my napping son somehow does make it right.
A happy birthday goes out to a nephew, little Roan, who is growing rapidly before his family’s eyes…
By God time is going fast.
FRACKING AND CRACKING
Race against the clock in Pennsylvania as work continues to stop fracking fluid from leaking at the site of a gas well spill.. Waste water spewed from the well and now officials are watching for fracking fluid in fresh streams and eventually rivers..
Shaking, quaking.. alive in the New Madrid?
Timing is everything.. and it’s without a doubt very interesting timing that officials are beginning to practice for a major earthquake along the New Madrid Fault line in the Midwest..
The earthquake drill is planned for Missouri families, schools, and businesses..According to information, ten states along the New Madrid fault line plan to hold a collective earthquake drill at 10:15 am April 28. A sci-fi game is being used to prep kids for what would be a tremendous disaster if the fault went.. The White House is getting in on the game with a US SHAKE OUT drill to prepare citizens..
Early in 2011, some wondered if the New Madrid Fault was coming back to life..
A major quake took place back before any of us were alive in the 1800s..

…rest. Relax. Or try. Goodnight.

$6.50 a gallon!? (this is not a misprint)
$4 a gallon. $5.00 a gallon. Try $6
Hastings sees gasoline having “no problem” getting to $6.50 a gallon over the summer after increased demand and storm disruptions come into play.

Florida busy spending tax dollars giving capes to the unemployed. Because people who don't have jobs would rather be... superheros without jobs?
The AP reports the strange but true news from the tip of America:
Florida officials are investigating an unemployment agency that spent public money to give 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless.
Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on the red capes as part of its “Cape-A-Bility Challenge” public relations campaign. The campaign featured a cartoon character, “Dr. Evil Unemployment,” who needs to be vanquished.
I was urgently searching for what the Dr. Evil Unemployment character looked like.
And I was victorious!
Here he is! In all his jobless wonder..
….I think someone should check Smurf village. It appears Gargamel left trying to eat smurfs in place of terrorizing unemployed Floridians.

Texas burning from 'border to border'

And speaking of UFOs and cross dressing FBI leaders, here is a strange situation coming from the great nation of Russia: A video is making way quickly around the world of a purported alien being, lifeless in snow in the Irkutsk region of southern Siberia following reports of a UFO crash a last month..
Some more interesting UFO news being revealed: J Edgar Hoover's FBI took UFOs seriously..
This comes on the heels (but but in J Edgar’s heels) of yesterday’s revelations that John F. Kennedy wanted information on UFOs only ten days before he was assassinated in November 1963.
The FBI vault has some cool stuff .. why certain things have been released now, though? I think we can all speculate until the cows come home—with their insides torn out and mutilated by aliens.

The dreaded terrorism color coded system is gone. No one liked it.. We’ve been orange for a while. I guess it made everyone feel blue.
So Homeland Security’s wisdom-filled halls decided to change things up a bit and scrap the Tom Ridge invention.
This morning on the TODAY SHOW, Secretary and ‘big Sis’ Janet Napolitano unveiled the brand new system: Gone are the color codes, and in is a memo-style press release type system.. the government promises less confusion.
Here is how a ‘less confusing’ system works:
CBS News explains that at the first sign of danger, a newly formed special counter-terrorism advisory board would have just half an hour to meet to begin inter-agency intelligence sharing. An official threat warning must then be issued within two hours.
"In some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the American people through both official and media channels," DHS says on its website.
The new alerts will include maps or other graphics showing the areas affected and, unlike the color-coded system, will include a specific date when the alert expires.
As much as I hate to say it, the colors may have worked better than this.. I’m not trying to be over-critical of things, believe me, but.. I frankly don’t see what is less confusing about this.
Perhaps, instead, something could be done to alert people by Napolitano herself. Perhaps her gray streak in her hair could start to be color coded.. Red for imminent dangers, gray for normal times.. Maybe it could start also predicting weather, stock market fluctuations, and even even traffic conditions on a local level.
..and while we’re at it we should issue color coded warnings on prescription drugs, as statistics show that they are %16,400 more deadly than terrorism..
