An Attempt To Be Deep --For Once



              G'day y'all!   I started this month off doing great at posting-on all of my sights.  Not so much now.    After three daze straight of rain here in the desert-very rare here, we still have mostly clouds today---so cool outside but no rain.  There was already a fire near here  so the rain was very welcome.   Especially with temps already in the 80's.   Last year was a very bad fire season ---state wide.   And it's starting to look like this year won't be much better.   Fingers crossed!  Very near here is an actual area of -usually running water.  It can cascade down the rocks, and I believe it will be running well right now.   I want to head up that way yet this afternoon-but not sure how motivated I am.    I have been here before---have an Exploring blog about it---We always take pictures when water is involved here in the desert!  ;)
   Check it and all our picture filled Exploring posts out PLEASE

Where are you Exploring today??



   A few  weeks ago I finally got some feed back on my Exploring blog page!    The couple really like the page----They are new to this area and like to check out and read about places locally, before they head out to visit.   The wife did bring up something I never have thought about----her husband is color blind and can not read the blocks I do in other colors beyond black.  I do this a lot---to make it stand out, and mainly because I like the color red----but will try to work on not changing colors to much in all my posts.

**"This one time at band camp my flute tasted like Ben Gay"** 
O the things you over hear at work.....


     **If liberals don't believe in biological gender, than why are they marching for woman's rights??**---   Just sayin'       OK I have lots of issues with the woman's rights marches any way---but this is a fair question.   At least in my book.  So of course I got no answer when I asked this online.   

   **"Some day I am going to make the onions cry!"**

    **"Those of you that say I am hard to shop for---must have forgotten about coffee!??"**

  **"Friends are like snowflakes---when you pee on them, they disappear!"**

     So awhile back I came across a sale ad online for custom made Valentines displays---in the ad they printed---ASS delivery instead of AS-----with spellcheck and all I found this a really big mistake  and mentioned how image is everything -and if they did not have the time to check there posting, they probably would not find the time to check my order -before sending it out.   That's the whole jest of my post----the person fixed the error---mind you, than there whole family came down on me, including posting on my personal Facebook page---over and over and over again.    "this person posting was only 17 and just trying to earn there own money---was the main reply from them    and I was evil and a bully.   I have known about spell check and proof reading since I was 9 and age has nothing to do with this----this is a big mistake----I thought I had opened up a naughty web sight---ass delivery, that could have so many kinds of meanings.    Besides at 17 -if she can not take this kind of input on her own mistake---than high school must be a tear filled event daily, and they are raising a snowflake.   Plain and simple.   Than on my page    they started knocking my spelling----there is a huge difference between a personal page and a sale ad in spelling errors.  So of course in my replies to these fine people I just started spelling everything wrong.     I of course had lots of replies--we wont go into here, but than since all these fine people were now reading my page---I had this post up next. ..

Snowflakes don't take the blame for anything they do. Someone else is to blame. Just look at the recent government shutdown. I wrote down your order wrong, no way. You ordered the wrong food, Sir! I didn't understand laundry pods we're killers if ate. Sue Tide! Sue the Internets for making eating them a challenge! My kid can't do maths, blame the school. Take away evil numbers from math problems!... Please note, like many words, "snowflake" has multiple definitions. But don't blame me for that fact, especially if just your selfie picture comes up in your dictionary's definitions.


     Ever been pushed to the point where you just want to drive and drive and contemplate the whole way if you wish to ever come back? But tax cash time is for road trips, right?! Anyways sitting here in my fake office in our garage lookin' at the stars, and maybe it's just the beer talkin' BUT I like beer! *Don't try to keep up -------Just another deep post of mine from about a week ago      When nothing seemed to be going right  at all.   


Shadow in her birthing box with mommy   
the night before she gave birth. 

Whats next---found coffee at Starbucks??

     So a lot of things have happened since my last post here----including the puppies of my dog being born-----I will post pictures in my next post----I have lots of course.   ;)    Yet another school shooting just happened in Florida.    I keep saying more and more of these things are going to happen---but you know what-they happen everywhere.  I was just reading about an incident I had forgotten about back home---Sheridan Wyoming---one of the most laid back areas around---in 1993 were a man had flashbacks from his milartary days and started shooting in front of a school in Sheridan Wyoming.   This was before Colibine    and we soon after started practicing what to do if a shooter broke into school.    Each current incident everyone has a lot to say----but the following is the BEST input I have found yet!  By far!    It is a little long---but worth the read:


COLUMBINE STUDENT'S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER !!
Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.
They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The following is a portion of the transcript:
"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.
"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.
"In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death.
Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!
"Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.
"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"
- Darrell Scott
Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech. Please send this out to everyone you can.
God Bless
