New world

You know, it's a whole new world out there than it was in the late 1700's. I believe in the constitution whole heartedly but I also know that our forefathers never dreamed there would be guns like we have today. Since this is MY blog I get to voice MY opinion. First off, my husband owns 2 guns. A shotgun and a muzzleloader. He uses them for hunting and they would protect us if needed. I can not justify ANYONE other than law enforcement that needs assaults rifles. I don't care who you are. You will never convince me otherwise. There seems to be a lot of people who are protesting that the government will take your guns and then keep taking all your freedoms. That's bull. This country is in a mess because elected officials, once in office, forget why the people voted them in, to represent the citizens of their state.
After the killing in CT ThePeople need to stand up and voice their opinion. It's not just the guns. It's mental illness too. There are many in prison who should be in a different environment that would help them yet keep them locked up so they can't hurt themselves or others. The time to confront these issues is long, long past and this needs settled before more people are killed.
Those precious children and brave faculty didn't deserve to have a country that let them down.

Apps

Holy smokes Batman! I didn't even think to see if there was an app for blog. Geesh I feel stupid. Maybe now I can post more often.

And Life Goes On

Hard to believe it's been so long since last post! So many changes since then I don't even feel like the same person that started this blog. There have been good changes and some bad changes, but life goes on.

The last few months I've gotten hooked on watching some web cams of animals. It started with Winter the Dolphin. Once we watched the movie Dolphin Tales the grand kids and I would check her out online. Then I found the Bird web cams at Cornell! Wow do they know how to have a web cam. I felt a connection with the red-tailed hawks. Big Red, the female, and Ezra, the male, hatched 3 eggs and I watched it all. From laying the eggs to all 3 hawklets fledgling. Even got to see some of their adventures after fledgling thanks to the amazing cams Cornell set up on the nest. Will definitely be watching again next spring. 

Cornell also has web cams on Bluebirds, Osprey and Pacific Loons. I was lucky enough to see the first chick go swimming less than 24 hours after it hatched, The second egg I saw hatch and kept checking on and was rewarded when the family went for a swim. They are just adorable!

I've also watched several Peregrine falcon nests, A cheetah in Africa give birth to three cubs and Siku the polar bear, Google any of these and see what you can learn from them.

Gotta go...until next post...
