This was posted on the Caringbridge site for Ali McCabe (Berntson)
Early this morning Ali lost her battle with cancer. Although we will miss her smiling face and adventurous personality, she is in a place now where there is no pain and she can mingle with our loved ones who have gone before us. I expect right about now she is having a reunion with our grandparents and cabin family. I bet Edna is warming up the oven to bake some bread with her.
We appreciate all the support and prayers everyone has shown to our family throughout this past year. We couldn't ask for better friends and family.
I will post information on memorial arrangements as soon as we have them. Right now we are thinking the service will be next Saturday- 2/4.

RON FOUND THIS VIDEO
100 YEARS IN 10 MINUTES
It looks, to me, like we've spent most of the last 100 years killing each other. If this is civilization and we're at the top of the food chain, give me the stone age and Neanderthal.
I HATE DIRTY SNOW
ATTENTION CAMERA FANS~THIS YOU GOTTA SEE
Oh, Boy! Would I like to have one of these! A new camera that shoots a 360 degree photo of your subject with one click and no editing or pasting.

Soon it will not be possible to tell real life from photographed life. But this may be the ultimate discovery of the universe--we are all living in one huge photo.
A NEW WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
The LONELY PLANET BLOG has a great bit about new words that should be added to the dictionary when it comes to travel. (CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL LIST)
Having spent a few years working in the travel industry, my favorite new word (or phrase) is:
FREQUENT LIAR PROGRAM: Travelers who will say anything to get upgrades on flights or hotel rooms. I think I've heard them all.

LOCAL BARS IN NEW BOOK
There's a story in the La Crosse Tribune, this morning, about a new book of photos by Carl Corey. (CLICK HERE TO READ THE STORY) I've seen the book and the pictures in "TAVERN LEAGUE PORTRAIT OF WISCONSIN BARS" are spectacular.
The La Crosse bars featured in the book are Dell's Bar, Class of 68, Yesterdays, Popcorn Tavern and Glory Days.

"SO SO" WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND AROUND HERE
Increasing clouds today, decreasing clouds tomorrow. Today's high in the upper 20's, tomorrow's high in the lower 20's.
We're going to be slipping into February, next week, and, for this time of year, the weather is pretty good. It's looking like our afternoon highs will be ABOVE FREEZING Monday through Friday.

A DAY TO REMEMBER
It was a sunny, hot day in the Rio Grande Valley 26 years ago today. I was on the air and saw it happen on the TV monitor in the control room.
Even with a memory as bad as mine, there are some moments, in time, that seem to stop time and "freeze frame" it in your mind.
January 28, 1986 was one of those moments when the CHALLENGER SPACE SHUTTLE EXPLODED killing all on board.

And I was seeing it from the cafeteria at the US Embassy in Lima, Peru. Yes, we all remember that one
IT WASN'T A BIRD~IT WASN'T A PLANE~IT WAS AN ASTEROID
The asteroid, the size of a bus, was 37,000 miles away when it passed by us yesterday. That means it passed between us and the moon. That, however, isn't so unusual. There have been some 30 "close encounters" over the past year.
If a bus sized object did enter the earths atmosphere it would break up into little pieces before it hit the ground BUT if a little piece hit you on the head you'd probably end up with one hell of a headache.

EAT YOUR BLUEBERRY'S
Image by FlamingText.com
I love blueberry's and I eat them when I'm in the mood for blueberry's. But, when I'm in the mood for a pancake I don't want it to taste like a blueberry. I want it to taste like a pancake. It's just like I want a potato chip to taste like a potato chip and not a pickle and coffee to taste like coffee, not some other goofy flavor with a pile of whipped cream on top of the cup.
And, by the way, if you like a good cup of coffee the last place to go is one of those "coffee places" (you know what I mean). If you take all the crap out of their coffee the coffee, alone, is almost undrinkable.
And, I know it's not just me. We had Starbucks coffee at the hotel and the people who drank it with sugar and cream thought it was ok but the folks, like me, who drank it black all agreed it was the worst coffee they had ever tasted.

TEMPTATIONS
Ever since Lynne mentioned the Temptations, I've had their songs running through my head. This was their first big hit that was released in December of 1964 and the song they're best remembered for.

IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE?
Pat and Vanna getting boozed up before doing some of the "Wheel of Fortune" shows in the old days? That's what Pat says.
I always thought it would be pretty difficult doing that silly game show day after day for 20+ years. Now we know how they did it!
*OOZE...."Give me a B, Pat."

RON SENT THIS~ONE OF THE FUNNIEST JOKES I"VE EVER HEARD!
Ole, a Norwegian fella wants a job, but the foreman doesn’t want to hire him, so he says he won't hire him until he passes a little math test.
Here is your first question, the foreman said. 'Without using numbers, represent the number 9.' 'Without numbers?' The Norwegian says, (in a Norwegian accent) 'Dat's easy,' and proceeds to draw three trees. What's this?' the boss asks. Vot! You got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine,' says the Norwegian.
Fair enough,' says the boss. 'Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time represent the number 99.' The Norwegian stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. 'Dar ya go!' The boss scratches his head and says, 'How on earth do you get that to represent 99?' 'You must be from Iowa…Each of DA trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.'
The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Norwegian, so he says, 'All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100.' The Norwegian fella stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, 'Dar ya go! Von hundred!'
The boss looks at the attempt. 'You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!' The Norwegian winces and shakes his head…UFF-DAH…you must be a Finlander from Iowa…he leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, 'A little dog come along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, and dat makes von hundred !! So, ven do I start?

A GREAT UPDATE FROM BERT
There are angels in this world.
Last night all the stuff fell out of my purse in the Parking lot of a resturant I was at. An angel picked it up and put it in a very nice gentlemans car. He thought he locked his car. They didn't take his I pad or Ipod and they didn't take the money out of my wallet.
The gentleman works at the USGC and he called me this morning....just got back from his office and Do you know what. I was happier to get my favorite brush than I was my wallet. I know..Being Blond the Angels need to watch me carefully.

LYNNE SENT A NOTE TO TELL US WHAT WE MISSED
Daniel, Jon, Bob, and I flew into Orlando and drove to Winter Park. We walked around a Farmer's Market and drove around looking at beautiful homes. We had been to the space center so didn't take that in but drove out there. We saw the Disney Ship there. Kids must really have fun on that.
It is hard getting back into cooking after being wined and dined on the ship, Freedom of the Sea, the largest one we have cruised so far. Food was outstanding so now we are all cutting back the calories. Just couldn't pass up the delicious foods and desserts.
Music on the ship was wonderful with piano bars and one man, who we sat and listened to late every night, knows over 1,000 songs on cue. People yell out a title and he plays the piano and sings. Do you remember the group The Temptations from the 60's? There was a salute to them and it was fantastic.
We couldn't stop at the Bahamas as water was rough near shore. Other stops at St. Thomas with a tour was fun and St. Maarten was fun to just walk around but not exciting. We had a tour there previously.
We took an Airboat ride when we arrived back in Orlando. Saw alligators and birds.
So nice missing some winter.
IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR TRAVELERS
This is the day the new travel laws go into effect. Now, all fares advertised must include the tax and all EXTRA fees tacked on to the booking. Now, the price they advertise is the price you actually pay.
Airlines will now, also, be required to inform you if your flight is going to be more than 30 minutes late. No more stringing you along at the gate to keep you from running to another airline to see if you can get an earlier flight. I remember well how that game was played!
You will also, now, have an option to cancel a flight within 24 hours without being charged.

JIM BEAM BOURBON SWEET POTATOES
When Rita, Roger and I went shopping, the other day, we were talking about sweet potatoes. Not a normal topic of conversation but, then, we're not a normal trio of people.
We all agreed that we like sweet potatoes.
Yesterday I mentioned the new salad dressing I liked. It turns out that their website also has a page of recipes and I found a recipe for sweet potatoes that really sounds YUMMY!

Remember this as you read or watch this blog, the newspaper, magazine, TV, the internet.
"Believe nothing merely because you have been told it."
Siddhartha Gotama
Back in the old days (my days in broadcasting) you had to have three trusted sources to put a story on the air or in print. Nowadays, if they can't distort it enough, they just make it up.

CLOSE BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH
It's just amazing that Donnie and Linda got such a little amount of rain and Austin posted a record breaking rain, today, of 5.66 inches. They also had a tornado touch down that did a bit of damage in the city.
SOME GOOD DRESSING
Let me tell you, it's a bit more expensive than other salad dressings but it's well worth it. This is about the best salad dressing I've ever tasted. They also make a honey mustard version that I want to try too.
It comes from the same company that brings you Budweiser and Jim Beam so you know it can't be all bad!
TEXAS RAIN
Those Texas storms moved into Houston late this morning. Willard said, "It is pouring. Made a dash to get gas and got soaked. Lot's of street flooding all over town."
IT NEVER RAINS ON DONNIE'S PARADE
"Here in euphemistically-named Dripping Springs, we have had eight hours of thunder and lightening but, for all the sound and fury, we have received very little rain. Again, our town, even our house, appears to be the persistent dead center of the drought. While surrounding neighborhoods have received 2 inches of rain we have gotten barely half that."
WHAT SHALL I DO?
My Google calendar says I have "no events scheduled today". That's just the way I like it. I've had just about all the events I need for this lifetime.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT TODAY
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German novelist, playwright, philosopher and more. He was born in 1749 and died in 1832.
Anybody who studies the brain will tell you that we never see reality. Our brain creates a version of reality based on our past experiences. This is why, if five people see an accident happen you'll get five versions of what "actually" happened. For instance, if you have a prejudice against Norwegians and one of the people, involved in the accident is a Norwegian, 9 times out of 10 you will totally believe the Norwegian is at fault (and in that case you're probably right).
Along those lines, Goethe said something that, I am convinced, is so true. "We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves." Another way of saying "We believe what we want to believe." Do we believe something because we are convinced it is true or do we believe it BECAUSE WE WANT IT TO BE TRUE?

ANOTHER AWARD FOR GUNDERSON
With RITA gone, it will be interesting to see if the clinic can continue to maintain their high standards.
Gunderson Lutheran has a new award to be proud of. They have received a CLINICAL EXCELLENCE AWARD from an independent health care ratings service which puts GUNDERSON IN THE TOP 5% OF THE HOSPITALS IN THE COUNTRY.

MY KIND OF FOOTBALL PLAYER
My hat is off to GREEN BAY PACKERS cornerback JARRETT BUSH who is acting as a spokesman for the MILWAUKEE ANIMAL RESCUE CENTER which is a NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTER. I hope, with his help, they can raise a ton of money to keep the shelter going.
SHOPPING SPREE
What a fun morning! RITA AND ROGER are fun to shop with because they know how to shop. Clear the decks, back off and watch them fill the cart! The most fun was when we got to Festival. Rita ran into AARON ROGERS and he let her squeeze his melons.
BIZARRE FOOD GUY HAS A NEW SEASON!
The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER has a story, this morning (CLICK HERE) about ANDREW ZIMMERN, a La Crosse native who has made the big time. Donnie ran into him, one day, at Gunderson Clinic.
His new season is all about BIZARRE FOOD IN AMERICA (I think he's already done lutefisk).

EARS
I was looking at my EARS while I was shaving, this morning, and couldn't help but think that ears really are ugly. Especially when your old and you don't have enough hair to cover them up. Actually, when you get older you have more hair in your ears than you have on your head and then they're really, really ugly.
Rita Rudner said, "I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry."
I looked up some facts about ears.
Fish don't have ears. They can, however, hear pressure changes through the ridges of their body. Snakes can hear through their jaw bone. And many old disc jockeys can't hear worth a damn. Why? All those years wearing earphones. By the way, sitting close to an amplifier at a rock concert can hurt your hearing in less than 8 minutes.

GUESS WHAT I FOUND ON MY COMPUTER!
It's a thing called a "recycle bin". It was just FULL of stuff that I've, apparently, been putting in there. I, of course, have no idea how I did that or why but it said it might be a good idea to empty it from time to time.
I figured that since I have no idea what it's for I probably don't need it so I hit the old "DELETE" button. Away it all went and I can tell you that everything is loading a lot faster now than it was before.
If I actually knew what I was doing when I turned this monster on, I could really be extremely dangerous.

AUNT WILDA CALLED TODAY
It was good to hear her voice! She's getting tired like I am. She said it's too hard to get out with all the snow they have.
She talked to UNCLE BOB and said he's not feeling so good. Getting old gets old really fast!
Now, I'm wondering if BOB AND LYNNE have a tan. They just got back from a CRUISE with DANIEL. If I know Lynne she took some pictures.

YES, IT'S PRETTY...BUT....
I have a great pair of overshoes. In fact I got them when I moved back here so they've been through 14 winters and they're still just like new. The trouble is that each one feels like it weighs, at least, 50 pounds. Over and back is 18 blocks and getting through the heavy, wet snow with those weights on my feet is just about too much for an old man. I got my exercise today!

WE HAVE A NEW MISS WISCONSIN
Now that Laura Kaeppeler is the new Miss America, Wisconsin needed a new Miss Wisconsin to finish out the term. RAEANNA JOHNSON OF HOLMEN, first runner-up in the Wisconsin pageant, was the logical choice but she had moved to AUSTIN, TEXAS. Wearing the Miss Wisconsin crown for the rest of the year sounded better than a warmer winter in Texas so she's moving back here to take on her new role.

POOREST OF THE POOR
Ziebach, Todd and Shannon are all counties in South Dakota and they are the three poorest counties in the entire United States.
STILL GOING STRONG
She just celebrated her 66th birthday and DOLLY PARTON is still going strong. Her newest venture is a second theme park to be built in Nashville. It will be a $50 million water and snow park, the first of its kind, set to open in 2014.
ANOTHER FEST
I thought we had every "fest" known to man in Wisconsin but I was wrong (and I usually am).
Up in Montreal, this month, They're celebrating IGLOOFEST.

WISCONSIN HISTORY
Guess what happened, in Wisconsin, on January 22, 1964:
A really big piece of cheese weighing 34,665 pounds (17.4) tons was manufactured in Wisconsin for the World's Fair in New York.
It ended up, the followng year, in Eau Claire, at the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Cheesemakers Association where they ate it all up.
I know, right now you're wishing you could have seen that cheese. Well, the original is long gone but you can see a replica of this monster the next time you're in Neilsville.
