And so the year continues....

Now that the ground hog has predicted our fate and we are winding up 6 more weeks of crappy weather, you may find yourself pondering whether or not a ground hog can actually predict the future. Is this perhaps where Miss Cleo vanished to? Is this perhaps the fate she was given for her fraudulant ways? Did our government somehow transform her into a rodent? Oh...wait.....that really wouldn't have changed her much would it have??
Mother Earth continues to keep us on our toes and in our snow boots as the days of the year unravel. March, the so called month of the Lion, is upon us and roaring loudly in our ears.
The wind howls as the Doppler Radars struggle to keep up, and the weather persons of Iowa dream of retirement from their inability to predict the outcome of each cloud that passes by.
I am sure whomever it was that named Chicago the 'windy city' had never been to Iowa! or maybe they were and a gust of Iowa love threw them into oblivion letting go over Chicago where they landed with a thump scratching there heads and scraping the corn dust from their eyes.
The reporters are blasting through the airwaves that Hurricane, Tornado and Severe Weather season is upon us...My question to you is...WHEN DID IT STOP??
I don't recall a END to the seasons..where was I ?
I am sure I missed it while I was do doubt hangin out in the underground with Miss Cleo drinking corn whiskey that we made while tapping into the local Ethanol Plant supply :)
It was easy enough to do...the police were too busy watching the Anhydrous tanks to pay attention to the corn bins!!
Did you ever think you would live in a world where it would be suspicious to purchase Sudafed with Batteries??? Or windshield washer fluid with Drano? But no one bats an eye when you ask for 3 packs of ZigZags!!
Ahhhh yes the year the continues down this winding highway...

New Year = New Beginnings???

Iowa's Asphalt
Well a new year is once again upon us and the tragedy's of the past are quickly being gobbled up by newer ones.
From the Tsunami, Katrina, the endless slaying in Iraq, the ungodly hike in fuel prices, right into the fires engulfing Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Just when you thought it was safe to go out the mudslides and flooding envelope California and the hard working men of Virginia become trapped in a mine!
Where are the presidents 'hidden camera's' when you really need them? I am sure the families of those trapped would like a bird eye view of the terror their loved one's are undoubtedly experiencing. Ah,but the 'spying' of our government is reserved for those Mr. Bush himself chooses. We all know they don't really have to have so called 'terrorists ties' they just need to in some way annoy George W.
Of course the fuel prices are all part of a higher plan to protect the 'interest' in foreign oil that our beloved President is so fond of. Even though his only 'interest' is in his own personal pocket book....such is the American way.
When will this all end?
Those on the religious wing insist it is Armageddon while the more spiritually inclined chant that it is Mother Earth merely wreaking havoc on those that blatantly continue to disrespect her.
So whether or not you believe the world is coming to its judgment or the Earth is about to flip over on its axis into a temper tantrum of disaster it is very clear that 2006 very well may mirror that not so distant past of 2005.
Personally while I feel that Mother Earth has every right to be pissed and open her secret can of whoop ass upon the worlds populations I can't help but find that spot in the forefront of my mind that screams perhaps this is the reaction to the actions of our ever present but ever screwing up administration. While governmental decisions certainly cannot predict the weather or natural disasters one cannot help but ponder the possibility of Karma. hmmmmmmm
Just my two cents on this winding highway....
