The skies are getting dark and it’s starting to sprinkle. The weather channel is calling for severe storms with big hail and possibly 60mph winds. Also, and this is the scary part…possible tornadoes. I was in touch with a few of my blogging buddies and they are to get the same weather it seems. I’m hoping for a nice long rain, but the way the weather has been all over, well…expect the worse yet hope for the best. Not sure if that saying is in that sequence, but it’s the same either way you read it. Not very good for peace of mind though. (deep sigh)

The Casey Anthony trial.
I have been sort of following the Casey Anthony trial and to be honest, generally I don’t voice my opinion about such things in pubic. I keep it to myself, even if I am asked. But in this case, I truly hope she gets at the least, life. On the flip side, I don’t think it all is going to be or turn out the way most think or are thinking it will. I have a feeling she is going to be found (unfortunately) not guilty. It is all a matter of everyone blaming everyone else and from what it sounds like, a massive bunch of cover ups and lies. I so feel for that poor defenseless little girl though. She didn’t deserve to die and it will be a damn shame if this so called mother doesn’t get what she deserves. Enough said by me. The whole situation and case makes me sick to my stomach.
Rapture
I’m not buying into it. I can not believe what I am seeing on the news and the internet, and even around the neighbor hood about this Rapture deal. In my opinion, no one can predict the time and date that we are going to be “judged” ans taken away to a better place. Nor can I understand how anyone can talk this so seriously. Yes, I believe that God is really angry at the world right now. Look at the weather, the people suffering, and all the strange things that can’t be explained through logical science…though they pretend to know…that is happening. BUT, I certainly don’t believe that the world is going to end at 6:00 this evening.
Accident or Manslaughter
My mom told me about a single mother who had three children all under preteen age, and was out of work, a home and any kind of shelter as the shelters are all filled up. There was a house that had been empty for a year, and did not have electricity, heat or running water. However, the man who owned the house, offered to let her stay there until she could get a job and at least some kind of assistance. They slept on mattresses on the floor and the landlord hooked up a generator in the kitchen to at least run a few lights, the heat and water for her and the children. They stayed there only one night, and when he went to check on them, all of them were on the mattresses as if asleep, but had died from carbon monoxide poisoning. It was due to hooking the generator up in the house. Their carbon monoxide levels were in the high 60′s range, which is nearly three times the amount that one can tolerate, I do believe.
Of course one would think it would be a very stupid and dangerous thing to do, but an accident none the less. BUT, the owner of the house, found the four dead and instead of immediately calling 911, he took the generator out of the house and put it in his garage, then called the police. It’s not looking too good for him. My mom didn’t catch what the charges for this will be or is, but I’m going to try later tonight to find updates.
This is terribly tragic and all because of the economy and a single mother can not get a break at all it seems. It pisses me off that the United States can help millions of people in other countries, but not help her own. Shame on us. Shame on the government. And yes…I’m staying on this bandwagon.
Is Spring around the corner
Since good ole Phil didn’t see his shadow, they say we will have a early Spring. I wonder about this, considering Phil had to be dragged out of his warm little home, kicking and rebelling all the way. I don’t blame him…I wouldn’t have wanted to come out in this weather either. I heard today that his predictions have only been 39% right in all these years. Hmmm…makes a person wonder why in the world millions of people firmly believe in ground hogs seeing his shadow. (shaking head in wonderment.)
