If you have been paying attention to the news at all you know that <a title="Scott Peterson Convicted of Murdering Wife" href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20041112/ap_on_re_us/laci_peterson" target="_blank">Scott Peterson was found guilty</a>. While I agree with the verdict it does suprise me that they came to this conclusion. Above and beyond that though this leads to one small problem in…

Work
Wish I could say something exciting is going on around here but its not. It's always the slow time of year in November. Just watching the <a title="Two Year Olds Getting fat" href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/cows11152004.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/cows11152004.jpg','popup','width=760,height=570,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">cows</a> and <a title="Yearlings on Pasture Getting fat" href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/yearling11152004.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/yearling11152004.jpg','popup','width=820,height=530,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">yearlings</a> get fat and sassy.<br />n<br />nSince it did…

Swelling
<a title="Brain inflammation link to autism" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4004075.stm" target="_blank">Brain inflammation link to autism</a><br />n<br />nI found this over at <a title="Wizbang!" href="http://wizbangblog.com/archives/004299.php" target="_blank">Wizbang</a> and as you would expect it piqued my attention. I have read that there was a theory that brain swelling might cause autism and this seem to prove it.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>The researchers say…

Memory Loss
I have mentioned that sometimes I have memory problems and I heard this joke which fit right in with that theme.<br />n<br />nTwo old men were sitting on the porch when out of the house came a dog. The one man asked the other what the name of the dog was. He hemmed and hawed…

Blogging
Why do you blog? First <a href="http://terrestrialball.blogspot.com/2004/11/why-do-we-blog.html" target="_blank">Pandora</a> asked the question and I have been considering it carefully and now <a href="http://www.sbpoet.com/2004/11/why_i_blog.html" target="_blank">Sharon</a> asks the same question. Why do you blog?<br />n<br />nThat is such a loaded question. I have only been at it for around a year so it probably is a good self-examination…

Guards
Armed security guards in public schools. For better or worse it's a sign of our times in a lot of places around the country. I understand security guards are used instead of police because they are so much cheaper but we can hope they don't shoot any better than <a title="Guard Shoots Student in Foot…

Elephants
Drunken, man killing <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/11/14/build/world/75-killer-elephants.inc" target="_blank">elephants</a>. I know its a serious story but the thought of wild elephants consuming rice beer and going on a drunken rampage makes me laugh. A sight that would be interesting to see from a long, long ways away.<br />n<br />n<b>Women are like elephants. I like to look at 'em,…

Yet Again
I again express my condolences to Wyoming ranchers. More cattle have been found with <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/11/13/build/wyoming/60-wyo-cattle.inc" target="_blank">brucellosis</a> so the restrictions on their cattle will continue. This makes doing buisness as a rancher extremly hard.<br />n<br />n<b>Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance. Susan…

What Holiday Is It??
You know? I have always said that we rush the holiday seasons. But now I am certain of it. Yesterday when the boy and I were in town we decided to look for some Thanksgiving napkins. I feel they add something to the table. Anyway we searched in Wal-mart, not my favorite place to begin…

Global Warming
Global warming is one of those issues that intrigues me quite a bit. The prevailing wisdom is that the world is coming to an end due to global warming and we need to do something now while a minority opinion is that the whole concept is hog wash and there's no such thing. I always…
