New Supermarket

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don't buy toilet paper there any more

The car the Bombers Hi Jacked had this bumper sticker on it... Seems like poetic justice

Suspect in custody...Relief!!!! 

Just a friendly reminder...

The Marathon Bombing: What the Media Didn’t Warn You About - WhoWhatWhy


We’re the products of our environment, and, in many respects, the media defines that environment.
Monday’s bombing at the Boston Marathon provides a perfect example of the defects of conventional news reportage—and proof that we urgently need something better. We got “scoops”, “experts”, “updates,” and post-tragedy Kumbaya, but at the end of those days of saturation coverage, we were none the wiser. It’s like what studies find about television news: the more you watch, the worse you perform on knowledge exams.

We ought to care more about the narrative we’re getting, about the texture of what saturates us. The way in which a story is handled shapes our emotions and perceptions, determines priorities, and influences seemingly unrelated outcomes that affect us in profound ways, sometimes transforming our society.

Little Boy's Explanation of God


It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista , CA . He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.' I wonder if any of us could have done as well? 

I certainly don't think an adult could explain this more beautifully!
(and he had such an assignment, in California , and someone published it -- I guess miracles do happen!)

EXPLANATION OF GOD:


'One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.'

'God's second most important job is listening to prayers An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off.'

'God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.'

'Atheists are people who don't believe in God.I don't think there are any in Chula Vista . At least there aren't any who come to our church.'

'Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him. But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said O.K.' And God did not let Jesus stay in the grave, but raised him from the dead

'His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him he didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.'

'You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.'

'You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God!

Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.'

'If you don't believe in God,besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared, in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids.'

'But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.

And...that's why I believe in God.'

American president Barack Hussein Obama had this to say about tracking down the ones responsible for the blasts:

“We will find out who did this, and we will hold them accountable’

Oh, really…is that so? Let’s review:

8 months ago, September 11, 2012, the American Consulate in Libya was attacked by Muslim terrorists, and Obama and his White House staff sat idly by and lifted not one finger to stop it or send in reinforcements during the 9 hour firefight which claimed the lives of US Ambassador Chris Stevens, US Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods. In fact, Obama’s State Department had already removed the bullets from the security detail there to protect the Consulate.

Shortly after that occurred, the Black Flag of Islam was flown over the US Embassy in Tunisia, after it was overrun by Muslim terrorists there. And then, not two full weeks after the Benghazi Massacre, Obama made this remark at the United Nations:

“The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam” – Barack Hussein Obama

So when President Obama issued his sweeping rhetoric today about “finding those who did this”, you have to view the likelihood of that happening in light of everything we have just brought back to your memory about his recent handling of Muslim terrorists and Muslim terror attacks on Americans.

Remember Maj. Nidal Hasan, Muslim terrorist who killed 13 people at Ft. Hood back in 2011? Would it surprise you to learn that not only was that never declared an act of terrorism, but instead classified as ‘workplace violence’, and that Maj. Hasan STILL has not been brought to trial to answer for his crimes?

Obama’s track record for “finding those who did it and bringing them to justice”, when it comes to Muslim terrorists, weighs in at a  verified, certified ZERO percent success rate. Muslim terrorists know that Obama steadfastly refuses to do anything to avenge the attacks, and it has greatly and obviously emboldened them to the point where they feel confident in orchestrating an attack during one of the highest-profile, most-publicized outdoor events on American soil.

So as you lay your head on your pillow tonight, rest secure in the knowledge that Obama has never avenged a Muslim terror attack against Americans, and likely never will. And those who tragically died today, like the 4 dead in Benghazi, died in vain.

Muslim terrorists know that Obama will simply look the other way, and hope the American people will simply forget the terrorist acts ever occurred in the first place. That is how he operates, that is what he is counting on.

The only question is…will you forget?

Five Big Reasons Our Economy Stinks and Government is to Blame

  1. We’re spending too much. Two wars, entitlement growth, and a massive stimulus are the results of a spending frenzy over the last decade.
  2. We’ve got too much debt. Every level of government is in over their heads. The literal and figurative bankruptcies of cities such as Stockton, California and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania are the canaries in the coal mine.
  3. Debt overhang kills growth. The latest studies are clear: excessive debt, sustained over long periods of time, hurts economic growth. Beyond the cost of higher interest rate payments, increasingly higher debt loads – which Gillespie calls “a ziggurat of doom” – promises to reduce opportunities for everyone.
  4. Spending growth is driven by entitlements. Since the Great Society programs of the 1960s, the government has switched from providing infrastructure and basic services, to being a national insurance broker. The consequences of this are dire because, as statistician Nate Silver notes, "most of us don't much care for our insurance broker."
  5. Trust in government is at historic lows. This kind of distrust is an inevitable result of a mismanaged economy. Yet it's also cause for optimism. Public discontent sow the seeds of reform, allowing the possibility of meaningful fiscal reform.
