Disaster Diverted Downtown Helena

"My employees, by the luck of grace, heard that smoke detector"

luck of grace? a first,this is an another example how people speak without thinking first about what they are saying.

I was watching James Randi on You Tube last night and he rants on about how badly most of us speak, and I am sure I am just as guilty. So when thiest's give God credit for a so called miracle, they don't even think about what they are saying. It still drives me crazy when it happens. Every day in the news you see this, EVERY DAY.

James Randi is a hero of the Skeptic community. The man who offers a million dollars for proof of supernatural/paranormal powers. People have actually submitted claims and so called proof, but he has yet give the money over.

Haiti

Haiti is Hell on earth, it was that way before the earth quake. Jamaica is a close 2nd. I have been to Kingston and I have never seen such poverty anywhere else in the world. I think mostly its becuase they are islands very few can escape. Most are children of the slave trade and left behind.











Because of the extreme poverty and its hopeless people, religion thrives. A young woman was pulled out after 50 hours of being buried alive in a mall and instead of giving credit to the Icelanders who rescued her, she said she never stopped praying and never lost faith. Makes me mad. It's even sillier because like most Europeans the Ice Landers tend to be non-religious. Not saying this group was or was not, but she still give God all the credit as usual. (and of course what about those others who prayed and died?)

Santa was kind this year

Now that I have a new laptop, I can blog regularly again. I could blog before now, but trying to share a computer with two teens is not easy.

Santa, or Mr. Clause as I call my hubby bought me a Compaq notebook for Xmas this year. Its more than we usually spend for the season, but it will be enough for years to come. Next year I will ask for something not quite so expensive.

The best part is now with my new job I am next door to the public library which has free wireless Internet. It's not as fast as my cable connection at home, but I can't complain. I now take my lunch hour at the library only about a block away from my office and check my email and surf the net.
