Cowboy's

Well, it's over once again.  The Cowboy's have lost their ploy for the Super Bowl, this year.  Last Sunday, gave us another thrilling game, which ended in defeat for our Cowboy's.  They have become a joke to the football circles, when people give their opinions about them.  It's not funny to us people who are hoping for them to get a good season again.  I suppose that's what we will have to live with.  The Super Bowl game won't be as much for for Texas this year, because of it.  It sure would have been a great game had the Cowboy's been a part of the lineup.  We can only hope next year will hand us a better season.

Where?

As we watched the people of NY, and the rest of the east coast try to cope with the devastation, he comes Obama on the scene.  How timely could this have been to go just before the election was to happen?  I ask these people?  Where is he now?  He's not out there checking on you like he was before the election.  What a good ploy he made to get himself seen as a good "Samaritan".  He makes me sick to the point of puking.  I don't enjoy seeing his face jump up in front of me every time I access the internet or turn on the TV.  Utter disgust is what I feel.

More Trouble

Time and time again the New York area has been destroyed by one disaster after another.  Today, America once again looks that direction in earnest sadness for the people who are devastated by the recent storm.  Here at a time when we are getting ready for the elections, we find ourselves worried about the destruction along the east coast, once again.  As many as 17 states have no power and many are without homes that were destroyed by this demon.  It is said that this one will be written in the record books as one that many will remember for years to come.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors of this disaster.  America, will always pull together and come back once again.

US Worried........

The US has chartered planes to remove American citizen's located in the disaster area, because of the growing concern from nuclear fall out presented from the possible reactor's melt down.  Some 600 families are being transported out of the affected areas, and it is said that the situation is only getting worse.  The State Department has has strongly urged people to defer travel to this area at this particular time.  Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and will have extremely minor health consequences in the United States.  Now, what do we do as we get ready for this impending problem?  Stay inside while all this is happening?  They say that there is possible thyroid problems from the exposure.  All we can do is wait out the situation and hope for the best.

Melt Down ?

The radiation fears added to the catastrophe that has been unfolding in Japan, where at least 10,000 people are believed to have been killed and millions of people were facing a fifth night with little food, water or heating in near-freezing temperatures and snow as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones. Up to 450,000 people are in temporary shelters.
The officials at the plant said they were considering asking for help from the U.S. and Japanese militaries to spray water from helicopters into the pool.  Experts noted that much of the leaking radiation was apparently in steam from boiling water. It had not been emitted directly by fuel rods, which would be far more virulent.  Tuesday's developments fueled a growing panic in Japan and around the world amid widespread uncertainty over what would happen next. 
There has been so much speculation about the problems this trauma  can cause.  I fear that we will not have a complete view of the actual situation when it develops.  As of now we can only wait and see the outcome of the horrific event.

Saving Home Energy......

The government is trying to get the message across that we are needing to be more green, with our ways of living.  Certain amounts of pollution, are released into the atmosphere, daily through certain forms of processing that companies have and by our vehicles.  They are suggesting and even advocating the fact of using Energy saving  appliances and other techniques to conserve our supplies of energy.  They are telling you to use certain home appliances which are set up to utilize the energy better and save you money in the long run.  They also tell you how to remodel your homes and businesses in order to conserve energy.  Everything from using storm windows, to weather proofing you doors and windows that have cracks or spaces, where the foundation has shifted to conserve your home energy.
I found that doing a few simple repairs, can help and give you the needed cut in your monthly bills.  Like installing a tank less water heater, lowering your ceilings, installing insulation in your attic and walls or using those bulbs that are energy efficient.  I’ve heard some pro’s and con’s of those type of light bulbs, but I suppose the government wouldn’t allow production or sales on such products if they were harmful.
By recycling we can also aid in controlling the emissions of certain green house type gases that can cause our environment’s ozone layer to heat up.
If you are interested in getting an estimate on the things needed to upgrade your home or business you can contact a good company whose main object is to give you good customer service.  If you live in my local area, which is the Dallas TX suburban areas, then you will be able to find exactly the help you need.  Information can be obtained by clicking on the above link or contacting the company by phone.

Let It Snow.........

People walk through the snow-covered National Mall in Washington, DC. Americans pining for a white Christmas got more than they bargained for, as a record-breaking snowstorm closed airports and roadways across the northeastern United States, putting a damper on the holiday's biggest shopping weekend. 
I wonder if they put up the Senator's that were voting on the Health Care Bill?  If so, that means that America spent some more money for useless crap.

Pedestrians walk over an uprooted tree in Calcutta, India. At least two people were killed and authorities evacuated thousands of others in eastern India as a cyclone stormed toward the region Monday. Cyclone Aila caused heavy rains and strong winds to lash Calcutta, capital of West Bengal state.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the weather we will be experiencing this year. I know that each year we have had hurricanes, hit our coasts and even spawn tornado's that rip apart lives, homes and businesses. Severe flooding has affected many parts of the US during the last few months.
