New Bed!

Despite the past weeks snow squalls, and closed highways, our new bed finally arrived today, it is our first good quality bed. Our old one was pretty shot (guess that's what happens when you buy it from a places that closes down a few weeks after you shop there, oh well the price was right.).
And yes we did get a sheep, I would not accept the deal without one. We have #44 who has blue eyes and may be in this picture. I am sure Sara will post of picture of him/her on her blog soon.
And nope, I don't feel guilty about putting him out of work.

Snow Day!

I am growing to like life in Seaforth. Another snow day only this time entire counties have been closed including all side roads, that's a first for me. Snow days always seem to happen on Fridays or Mondays too, sweet!
The only downside... we were supposed to receive our new mattress today from Goderich. Will the weather clear up enough by this afternoon to get it? Stay tuned...

The Real Enemy

Now I am not trying to say Sept. 11 was not a horrific event but here is what confuses me, from my understanding:

About 2000 people died on Sept. 11.

Around 550,000 Americans die from cancer every year.

40,000 die in car accidents.

213,000 from diabetes.

36,000 from the flu.

15,517 die from homicide.

100 are killed by lightening.

Almost a 1,000,000 die from heart disease.

Yet America is so worried about terrorism that a substantial part of its budget is spent on defense. Fighting people they put into power. Using methods that will clearly make things worse.

So the next time you are at a BBQ and someone is smoking and eating a foot long chilly cheese sausage, with extra fried onions, talking about how bad and dangerous the "terrorists" are, ask yourself, "Who's the real enemy?".

Those Crazy Germans

Lets just say the Cessna 172 is NOT approved for aerobatics, in fact you aren't supposed to even do stalls and spins with passangers in the back. This is because the plane is not designed for this and there is a good chance this will get you killed, I don't think THIS GUY told his passangers about that.
