Another Day

Today, I just really didn't feel like doing much. I surfed the web, checked my emails, and waiting on going to my online classes the 16th of the month. I did their orientation to get use to the virtual class room and where I can find my assignments and post homework etc...My books are being sent to me via UPS and I signed up to receive a University laptop. Which I thought was cool. I'll let you know how things are going with my classes and where I'm at and what I'm learning. Subject of study is Computer Support Specialist Associate of Arts degree is what I'm shooting for. It's something I enjoy and know something about as you read in my last post.

That Time Of Year Again

Aw, its that time of the year for snow, cold, and giving. I perticulary like the recieveing part of Christmas. But, I must admit the giving part and watching the person's face as they open the gift I have bought them light up is grand as well. My children live in Oklahoma and I'm here in Washington State, so I really don't send them any kind of gifts. I perfer to give the "Gift Card" from one of the local stores that they go to in the town they live in. That way they can get what they really want and I don't have to figure out what to get them. As a father and a grandfather is one of the greatest things a grown man can experience in his life time. Being able to see the next generation of the family grow and learn and play is a wonderful thing. I'm so thankful for my family and that is what matters to all of us this time of year.

Shuttle Return To Space

Well, today the space shuttle Discovery was to return to space. The scheduled lift off time was 3:51pm EDT, but do to a faulty sensor the mission was aborted. I'm kind of a open minded person, but why are we spending Billions of dollars to explore space anyway?. The monies NASA spends or has spent over the years could feed alot of our fellow citizens right here in the United States. We have people on the streets with no food, no shelter, no clothing. In other parts of the world third world country's have people in the same situation we are in here. We have the Hubble Space Telecope to see what is out there in deep space. We don't need to be going out there to investigate it. The Hubble has sent back some great photographs that we would have never been able to see or know about. I say lets repair the Hubble and update the instruments on board and keep viewing space from a SAFE distance.

Thoughts On The World

Well, here it is Friday May 13, 2005, and I see its Friday the 13th, Well, hope none of you are superstitious. Anyway found a interesting article on CBS News website, Pit Bulls Owner Killed In Home. The dogs had no apparent history of aggrssion and described as well-kept, attacked their owner inside his suburban St. Louis home, authorities said Thurday. Sheriff's Lt. Craig McGuire said officers were Tuesday called by friends of Reddings who went to the man's locked home when they were unable to reach him, then peered through a window and saw him motionless on the living room floor. an apparent attack by his 8-year-old female and a 3-year-old male dogs. The animals were turned over to St. Charles County Animal Control and will be euthanized, director of humane services Theresa Williams said. And then wonder why people keep these kind of animal around, there has been many attacks by pit bulls, I don't understand, they know how unperdictiable they are, but yet they still own these animals.
