March 1 2011

There is a report of a gas line explosion in a California city today. Reports say that an entire neighborhood was destroyed, killing eight people.

Jane Russell, a major movie star and vocalist of the early fifties died today at the age of eighty nine. I remember her picture was a cover on my school tablets, among other stars who graced the front pages of tablets in the fifties. She was also the first to be shown on television in advertisements of the Cross Your Heart Bras.

I just finished making five-eight ounce cups of Raspberry Jam, my favorite. Oh, well it’s a toss up between raspberry and blackberry. Only used ½ cup of sugar so it’s slightly tart – the way I love it. I used raw sugar as well, not processed whiteJ Good for my diet!

Am still working on transferring all of the folders I have on my story to one folder.

Is anyone listening to Charlie Sheen trying to justify his illegal and illicit actions? Can’t imagine why, but I don’t give a dam about his personal paranoid escapades. For Gods Sake…somebody get him a doctor! Then maybe we can let it go for awhile. I’m sick of seeing him being interview on every availableL

Looks like there has been a “win” in Wisconsin as 100 Dems came back across state lines and they came to somewhat of an agreement that is supposed to save the state some 5 Billion, but it is still not done as the Republicans say they are not done cutting yet.

A company here in Decatur went on strike nine months ago and the company just hired new employees, still there are about 20 union workers still picketing. But most have found other jobs. Nine months is a long time to live on unemployment insurance and union strike pay.

The temperature didn’t reach 55 today as expected, but it did get up to 50. Colder weather is slated for the rest of the week. I see that some folks in Ketchikan had 9 degrees last night. Very cold for Ketchikan.
