 jim  The Mayans and You
Doomsday predictions are so cool.
The Mayans supposedly predicted a doomsday event will be occuring on 12/21/2012. Catchy, isn't it. It kind of has a ring to it. While this may be true, a lot of people thought dooms day was going to be 01/01/2000. And then again, a lot of people thought Nostradamus predicted the Chinese would start WWIII in the 1980's.We didn't see much happen, but that doesn't mean something terrible isn't going to happen.
Of course, some natural event is going to wipe out most life forms on this planet. Of course it is. You've seen dinosaur bones in museums and fossils in your own back yard. Even the rocks in your driveway appear to be melted by something. Ever notice that most animals on this planet have the same organs? We're all either survivors, or as I'd like to think of it, children of the last "Doomsday". Like they say, life for billions of years has always found a way. As a whole, it is smarter than we will ever be. I doubt our brains are capable of handling the "truth".
The end-of-the-world as far as you are concerned is much more predictable, and will probably come much sooner. 
Every 80 years or so, all life on our planet is recycled.
If only we could remember where we came from.
All fear of death would go completely away, and the "end-of-the-world" would seem more like a spring shower.
At least, thats the way I like to think of it. I like to think we have and will go on forever,

 Jim  There is no place like home

Dorothy said

"There's no place like home",
but I'd bet if she thought about it

She would have realized
There's no place like OZ!

Its Christmas,
and it was a beautiful day here in Wexford, Pennsylvania. We could have been depressed, being thousands of miles away from our loved ones, but this holiday hasn't worked out like that at all. 
Its was a unique Christmas.
We ate some left overs from last nights BBQ, and went to Walgreen's a to buy one of those cheap massagers. We got a few text messages. We IMed a little. We even did a web cam.
We didn't open any gifts.
I want everyone to know, that was what we expected. These contracts have given us experiences that we would never have gotten if we spent Christmas in Las Vegas.
Life has provided the greatest gifts of all. We've seen this United States,
from San Diego to Seattle, from the Florida Keys, to Washington DC. We've traveled the country collecting memories that some may never acquire. 
This could have been my 30th Christmas in Las Vegas.
But this wasn't just another Christmas. This was an exceptional Christmas. Our memories are what we'll store
in the top of our closet this year and I'll share them with you on this web site as the years pass by.
To all of those at home,
We miss and love you very much !!!

From Far Far Away

 jim  The Day the Earth Stood Still
This movie is a real sleeper. Its the bomb...
I mean that literally. I liked the last 4 minutes, when the Earth loses all electricity, and it cuts to "The End". Keanna Reeves never got to use any of his talents.
I suppose, maybe, why I didn't like it was because it cost $13 a ticket, a small bottle of Coke cost $4.25, the chairs were uncomfortable, and the screen looked smaller than the one in our bedroom.

 SAE  Bark and Howl....
SAE turns 385 years of age on Sunday, the 14th.. So, he'll be a drunken fool.Maybe he can IM with Jimmy R. Cutlar on Saturday, this weekend.

Got an email from Pat Hill this week. He didn't say much, but knew I was at RJ and had my email. Unhappy with the fact he knew this, so I will sniff down the informant, and bite off his weiner.(And of course, spit it out)

 jim  Its 14 degrees in Pittsburgh
It snowed powder all weekend long.
We watched about 50 cars stop on the road below our apartment. They seemed to be stuck in the street.
They may have been playing it safe while waiting for a salt truck. These roads were soooo slick,
Several of the people left their cars and walked up to their apartments, waiting for help to arrive.
That seemed odd to me. You never see something like that in California 
I took the truck out to do some sliding!
I thought it was fun, but then again, I wasn't worried about losing control.
Ya just gotta love 4 wheel drive with anti-lock breaks in weather like this.
Pix-2-come. I left my camera in the truck.
