Mothers Day

My Mother died 30 years ago but her memory is still alive in my heart. She gave me 2 sisters to help remind me I'm not alone in this old world. She fed me and clothed me and kept me well through some really bad winters. I remember 20's and 30's below for weeks at a time and seemed like it lasted at least 12 months. Then 6 months of summer and then another 12 months of winter. Thank You Lord for making the winter shorter as I got older. I really don't think I could hack it buddy if they were like they were in the 40's, 1940's that is. This last winter we just finished was a super winter for history books. Record temps all winter and you only needed a sweatshirt to go outside instead of a parka. They said it was the second warmest in history and I'm 75 so I don't know how far back you have to go to find the warmest one. I just know it was before 1936 when I showed up to make the world a better place for a few people. I think that's enough for a while so I'll be going. Thank You Mom for bringing me into this world so I could write this, Love OZZIE

Super Moon Sunday Night

Did you get to see the Super Moon on Sunday night May 6th. If you didn't, you really missed something. They said it was the closest the moon comes to the earth and it doesn't happen very often. It was quite a site. It looked like an orange Harvest Moon at first before it became white. Sure glad the rain stopped so we could see it. Most of the time when a meteor shower goes thru or something like that it is all cloudy and we miss it but this time we got to see it very clearly.

What Next ?

We are just getting over the second warmest winter in history of record keeping. Guess what, the temps were in the 70's and 80's with high winds that were trying to blow everything over. In fact it did blow some things over. An example of this would be Semi Trucks on the interstate. I used to drive one for 50 years and it's no fun being blown around especially when your rig weighs 80,000 pounds. They call them 18 wheelers because they have 9 wheels on each side. Once in high winds my truck was blown up on the 9 outside wheels and then dropped back down after about 200 feet. This happen 3 times on that stretch of interstate 35 south of Clear Lake, Iowa. I can tell you it does make you wonder just what you're doing out there in the first place. Tonight is a fairly good night with light wind and steady rain and 47 degrees and it's the end of April. Whatever you're doing out there remember to, Keep the rubber side down and the shiney side up.

Cold and Rainy

It is a cold 55 degree day today. It rained during the night and we got about another 1/2" of rain. They say the water levels in the aquafers are very low and we need all the rain we can get because we didn't get snow this winter. We got about 14" of snow compared to snow in the 40 inch range. If we don't get enough rain, the state could actually run out of water. I don't remember this ever happening before but it probably has. The farmers are very happy to see the rain. It is a little too early to plant yet even though they are getting overanxious too plant.

New Computer

Posted by Gaylord Campbell I am a big time gamer. I have had a love for video games since my parents first bought be Wolenstien 3D for the computer when I was a kid. These days computers are a little bit more sophisticated. I enjoy playing massive multiplayer online role-playing games. Probably the most popular of this type of game is World of Warcraft. I don't play that on however, the one that I play is called Eve. It is basically a game based on flying around in space and fighting other players or running missions. The only problem with the game is that you have to have a pretty good computer to play it. It is very graphics intensive. In order to enjoy the game to the fullest extent I just built an awesome computer. I put a huge graphics card in it to handle the load, the problem is that it requires a big power supply. Thanks to electricity providers Texas I can afford to enjoy my video games for as long as I want or until my wife makes me get off of the computer.

Tornadoes

We have really had the severe weather pass by us this weekend. Two tornadoes hit in southern Iowa doing a great deal of damage. We have a good tornado shelter here in our trailer court but it is always crowded and people take their dogs and it is a nightmare. I would rather stay in my home and ride it out. I will do that. Luckily, they all went around us and went north but it is very cold, high winds and rain today.
