THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!
We Must Stop This Immediately.
Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away.
Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become.
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am a lip reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am.
I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the motorway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labelling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!
All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!
Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.
I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were.

AS THE WORLD TURNS IN CENTRAL TEXAS
FROM DONNIE:
"It's going to be a tense, angry day here at the ranchito. The pipeline crew is nearly done, but not before getting in some maddening last licks. A huge bulldozer is driving up and down the line, up and down, up and down, over and over again, to level the ground. I walked over there yesterday, after about four hours of the growling forwards and the irritating beep-beep-beep-beep of the backwards. The ground already seemed perfectly flat. But that didn't stop the grader from doing another four hours. Linda had pulled a muscle in her leg, and being immobilized, spent the day at the computer, eating junk, which led to a badly upset stomach. By the afternoon of constant dozer noise she was in tears. But late in the day it seemed the job was done, workers standing idle in groups.
Alas! At 7:30 a.m. today, Saturday, the machinery is roaring and beeping again...and any minute now Linda will come flying (or rather, hobbling) out of bed in a rage. We will have to escape the house...but of course now the highway out is also being torn up. Far as I am concerned, there is enough UNemployment on Central Texas!"

BORIS, NATASHA, ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE
So, with this squirrel holiday going on, I can't get ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE off my mind so I got to wondering what I could find on YOU TUBE and there they were, in all their glory!
The Flavor Of Your OJ Is A Chemically-Induced Mirage
via The Consumerist by Ben Popken on 7/29/11
There's a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says "not from concentrate," it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen was removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called "flavor packs." Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate!
Author Aliissa Hamilton covers this in her book, "Squeezed: What You Don't Know About Orange Juice." Of her findings, she writes on the Civl Eats blog:
Juice companies therefore hire flavor and fragrance companies, the same ones that formulate perfumes for Dior and Calvin Klein, to engineer flavor packs to add back to the juice to make it taste fresh. Flavor packs aren't listed as an ingredient on the label because technically they are derived from orange essence and oil. Yet those in the industry will tell you that the flavor packs, whether made for reconstituted or pasteurized orange juice, resemble nothing found in nature. The packs added to juice earmarked for the North American market tend to contain high amounts of ethyl butyrate, a chemical in the fragrance of fresh squeezed orange juice that, juice companies have discovered, Americans favor.Less you think this is some kind of organic hippy conspiracy theory, deaeration and pasteurization are very real in the orange juice and they do remove flavor. Here is a study to that effect posted on the USDA.gov site.
If this is the type of thing that bothers you, buying OJ from the store in May through June is the only way to ensure that most of the juice is from fresh Valencia oranges. The rest of the year it's reflavored sugar water from a tank farm.

WARMER THAN NORMAL? I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!
Because of something called ARCTIC OSCILLATION the last half of winter is expected to be WARMER THAN NORMAL.
I don't understand "arctic oscillation" but I do understand "warmer than normal". Not only do I understand it, it's music to my ears.

WARNING FROM DONNIE
There's a scam going around, and we got tagged. We received an eMail "from" American Airlines "confirming" our purchase of tickets. A quick search revealed a real American Airlines press release warning against such fake messages. And a check of my credit card proved we had not been charged.
This is almost certainly a result of the fact I have been browsing airline fares--further evidence that everything we do on-line is being tracked by others, either to sell us things or to steal our identities and assets.

WARM DAY IN THE BLACK HILLS
Duane said, "50 degrees on Saturday. Good."
We'll be a touch warmer but nothing like that. More like 16 around here, although, we should get above freezing, to 34 degrees tomorrow.

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

On this special day, I decided to do a bit of research on squirrels and here's what I found out.
The squirrel belongs to the RODENTIA FAMILY which makes up 40% OF ALL LIVING MAMMALS so, to say they have us outnumbered is an understatement. There are 365 species of squirrel, from the ground squirrel and tree squirrel to the gopher, groundhog and prairie dog to say nothing of Bullwinkles buddy, Rocket J. Squirrel.
During a winter storm a squirrel may not leave his nest for days. That kind of sounds like me.
The squirrel has eyes on the side of their head to give them a wide field of vision. In other words, they see in Cinemascope (young kids won't know what that is).
Besides nuts, the squirrel with eat bird eggs (sunny side up) along with a side dish of bugs, nuts, fruits and seeds.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
I just looked out the window and, what do you know! The snow is gone and the sun came out. A perfect end to an, otherwise, nasty day.
TODAYS SNOW TOTALS AT 2 PM
We haven't received nearly as much as they forecast and that's just fine with me.
As of 2 PM:
As of 2 PM:

A LIBRARY NOTE FROM DONNIE
"A friend pointed me to a modern Norwegian writer, Per Petterson. I actually found one of his short novels in the Dripping Springs Library, and I like it. While I don't try many novels, this one is worth the time. The La Crosse Library--much larger and more Scandinavian than ours--probably has Petterson stuff. "
Not only does the La Crosse Library have a large collection of Petterson books, some titles have as many as 11 copies on the shelves. That tells me he must be a very popular author in these parts.

Only us senior citizens will remember Arte Johnson from Laugh-In. One of the funniest TV shows ever. He's celebrating his 88th birthday today.
And, here's another old timer that I didn't know was still performing (at age 76). Remember The Amazing Kreskin? He'll be on stage, doing his amazing things, tonight in Huntington, West Virginia.

ANSWER THIS:
According to a survey by Career Builder.com, 16% of the employees, in this country, are late for work once a week or more. Nearly 30% are late, at least, once a month.
What I want to know is, with all the people looking for work, why are these people, who obviously think there are more important things than a paycheck, still working? Why haven't they been replaced?

JUST GOT BACK FROM FESTIVAL
Everybody is stunned by this brutal cold snap that abruptly brought an end to our mild winter. And, mild it has been.
I just paid my electric bill and they always have the average temperature, for the last 30 days as compared to the same period last year. I found it interesting this month.
Last year from mid-December to mid-January the average temperature was 17 degrees. This year it was 30 degrees. 17 degrees warmer this year than last.
I think this cold snap feels colder than it really is because we've been spoiled. And, as I've said before, we're more than half way through January and this is the first REAL taste of winter we've had. We just have February, the short month, to get through and by March we're pretty much home free.

BITTER COLD WIND CHILLS THIS MORNING
The overnight lows were miserably cold around the area overnight. Barre Mills dropped to 3 below. We stayed above zero, in La Crosse but only by 1 degree. Prairie Du Chien had 4 below and Black River Falls saw 15 below with Sparta at 13 below.
DONNIE AND LINDA WON'T HAVE TO MOVE
RELOCATE AMERICA has released their annual list of the top 10 best cities, in the USA, to live. #1 on the list is Austin, Texas. Dallas is also on the list at #5. #3 is Boulder, Colorado. I think that's where Rita went to school. The only city in our "neck of the woods" to make the list is Omaha, Nebraska at #9.
GOOD ONE FROM CARL
MY FAVORITE ANIMAL
Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken."
She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed.
My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.
I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA.
He said they love animals very much.
I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office.
I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.
I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.
She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.
I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders."
Guess where I am now...

GOOD DAY FOR A MOVIE
I had to take the garbage out so I walked over to Kwik Trip (I was low on glazers).
The snow has started to fall and the wind has picked up and it's just an all around good day to be anywhere but outside.
We're expecting one to two inches of snow with Northwest winds of 15 to 25 MPH causing blowing and drifting snow.

Let Mother Nature do her thing. I'm going to stay in and watch a good old western from 1948. John Wayne with Montgomery Clift (This was his first movie before he went on to become a major star) in the classic film "Red River".
The movie was actually made in1946 but it was two years before it was finally released.
The movie was preserved by the Library of Congress as part of its National Film Registry for being "Culturally, historically or aesthetically Significant."
They're, probably, preserve me for the same reason.

Did you watch any of the Betty White birthday special last night? I stayed up until 8 watching the first hour. That's saying something because I won't stay up until 8 to watch my own family. I can't remember the last time that I was still up at 9 o'clock at night. I think it was soon after they invented the clock.

NICK GOES TOPLESS
UPDATE FROM BERT
"We made it back from Duluth safe and sound. Ali was slipping downhill while we were there.
It was a good trip and some we had some great Norwegian food at a restaurant that served sandwiches in lefse. Mine was salmon, hard boiled eggs, radish and provolone wrapped in Lefse and it was good.
We froze in Duluth but they didn't have the snow we did..
The day before we left for Duluth it was 50 degrees so Nick had the moon roof open in his car and forgot to close it. Aaron called to inform Nick that there was two feet of snow in his car!!! We had a good laugh! He's done that before but the last time it was rain.
Good to be home with my quiet life and the dogs."

He did better than I did. I had never heard of any of the TV shows they talked about and, maybe one or two of the movies.
I didn't see the show last year but the host, who made all the headlines, was back this year. I didn't know who he was then and I still don't know who he is but why he made headlines I have no idea. He was about as interesting and funny as a blank wall.
I suffered through a half hour, or so, and then turned the TV off. The blank screen was the best thing I saw all evening.

PERFECT WEATHER
I walked over to Kwik Trip (I was out of doughnuts) and it's a perfect day for January. Bright sunshine and temperatures above freezing.
The only complaint I have is that there are pools of water in all the low spots on the sidewalks. That means lots of chances for me to fall down. Don't think I'll go out too early.

I got filled up just reading it.

NEAR TRAGEDY YESTERDAY
I was sitting on the love seat, watching a movie, and got up to get a glass of 7up. I guess I was so engrossed in the movie that I forgot where I was sitting, when I came back.
Watching the screen, instead of my seat, I went to the rocker and, slowly, started to sink down. With less than a millimeter from "contact", Thunder let out a blood curdling "MEOW". He flew out of the chair and, like a rocket, ran to safety under the bed.
Apparently, he woke up, just in the nick of time, saw a huge butt descending from above and saved himself from certain doom.
He stayed under the bed for a good hour before coming back out to forgive me but still fully aware that he's now down to 8 lives.
After I went to bed he, apparently, decided it was safe. When I got up, this morning, he was back on the rocker, curled up and fast asleep.
I've learned my lesson. LOOK before you sit on the cat.
A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

By the way, Eric, Bert and Nick are enjoying a "crisp" morning in Duluth. It was 16 degrees, up there at 4 A.M.
