Information Overload

The web site Newsblues reports today that "by year's end, there will be more mobile-connected devices in the world than there are humans."  What they failed to mention was that many of those devices will  be more intelligent than their human controllers.


Gasoline prices have gone up 83% since Obama was inaugurated.  Predictions are for $5 a gallon gas this summer which will really dampen the family summer vacation business.


The Obama administration is holding mid level discussions concerning reducing our nuclear warhead stockpile by some 80%.  This while Iran continues its headlong race to build an arsenal of nuclear warheads.


Federal agents confiscate home pack lunches of kindergartners in North Carolina.  Supposedly Mom and Dad failed to follow federal nutritional guidelines when packing those lunch bags. This appears to me to be a violation of  the fourth amendment which protects against unlawful searches and seizures but then again unconstitutional behavior is something we've come to expect from this administration.

Feed the Feathered Ones

                                                                                                         




Lots of complaints lately about my lack of providing food for our neighborhood birds.  Spouse complains about no birds or bird activity to watch and the lack of deer in the yard.  The deer are more marauders than cute wildlife.  The dog has also complained because there has been nary a squirrel to chase, this being one of her favorite pastimes. The reason for not putting the bird feed out was a simple lack of interest on my part.  


Sometimes we forget that the individual is not the only one who counts.  Those around us count also.  They also count on us to do the things which create beauty, relaxation, and/or simple enjoyment.  And not to put too fine a point on all of this....God expects us to take care of all of his creation.  Feeding the birds, not polluting the environment, tolerating Obama for a few more months, all are part of God's creation.


By the way, many people are confused about Obama wanting to order insurance companies to provide contraception.  The issue is NOT contraception or religion.  This issue is the UNCONSTITUTIONAL decrees and edicts the President persists in enacting.
