The snow has finally arrived!! Hurray!
Snow is great except for when it freezes when you have to drive on it.
The other night, at 10 P.M., the clouds held in all the light, so it looked like it was broad orange daylight even though it was so late. Just replace the blue of the day with orange, and you would know what it was like.
All I can say about it is, WOW!
Winter
: TSA encounter at SAN
Just thought I would share this story with everyone.

Today
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Don't look back unless you are remembering a lesson. Don't look too far forward unless it affects today. Don't worry about minor problems for now, but focus on your major problems until they are resolved. For what is life, but to live and learn? Is there a problem with taking a step back and taking a deep breath? Not at all! The best thing you can do at the present is spend time with the ones you love and those you like, for without them, there is little hope that tomorrow will be brighter.
"Dost thou love life?
Then do not squander time,
for that is the stuff life is made of."

Thoughts on problems
Why, it has been awhile since I last posted! A lot has happened, wow.
School is full steam ahead. I am taking 13 credits, but it feels like the level of 20. (Mega Brain Hurts)
I start working again on the 4th. CP drove me nuts once, sadly it will do it again.
Is it just me or are the browsers starting to look alike? The IE9 Beta and Firefox Beta both have similar cosmetic features now.
Now for the kicker. Why must everything be so expensive? AUGH!
Joy of the Lord
Here I stand at Heaven's gate
Wondering what will be my fate
For but a few minutes ago
I simply did not know
That I would be standing here
With a spirit of fear
For who am I to say
Whether I stay
Or enter or leave
But there is nothing to grieve
For quite a long time has gone
Since I came upon
The glory of God's grace
And left no trace
Of my old life
And displaced my strife
For I have been washed by the blood
Of Jesus and left no stain of mud
And now God says unto me
That there is no need to flee
And turned to his book
And said, let's take a look
To see if you came
And added your name
And he found it there
And then I made a stare
Of utter joy
For I knew it not a ploy
Then God said unto me
With great glee
Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord.

4th of July
OMG, I can't believe I am late on this!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
Somethimes I wonder how I ever get tired of watching fireworks. Then after awhile of watching them and smelling the smoke, my nose clogs right up and I can't breathe! AUGH!! There is nothing more annoying than a clogged nose! The nose is useful for many things, like smelling! Oh well, it is tomorrow and my nose is clear. So I can go about my business of doing chores and pretty much nothing else.
The Great Steak Restaurant on Seltice
Today, My Mom and I had some cheese steajs at the Great Steak restaurant on Seltice. The combo meals were about $8 and $9, and were not that great. My mom's cheese steak was very dry and had very little meat on it. Mine was was slightly better, but still not very good.
I do not recommend this restaurant as it is way overpriced and they were not that great anyways.
:(
Hmmm, oreos
My parents, the Jones', and I went fishing today. We went to three different lakes, and fished at two of them. One of them had too much seaweed to actually fish in, so all we caught was seaweed there. The other one had a boat rental place at it, so we rented a paddle boat and went out to the middle of the lake. Out there, we drifted all around and almost hit shore. The only person who actually got a fish out of the water to keep was Mrs. Jones. My parents got a couple of fish to their boat, but didn't have a net to get on their boat. Sadly, I didn't get so much as a nibble. :(
I took well over a hundred pictures during the little expedition. lol. At was from that set of pictures that I learned that my video camera takes grainy pictures. I like a lot of the pictures that I took, and simply deleted the ones that were blurry and/or could not save. On the way home, after we ate at a nice little cafe called View Cafe, I took a nice nap and finished the nap after we got home and went to bed. Silly sunshine made me so tired.
Now, it is time to have some ice cream, YAY!!
Super Heated Plasma
Have you ever heard of plasma in sci-fi movies? When you do, it is either as a weapon or a shield. However, the shield idea would not work as by the basic physics required to have the shield would not work as plasma would melt the ship that it protects.
However, plasma would be able to be used as a weapon as long as you can keep it in a semi-fluid state of a wall-like structure. Thus by using anti-gravity generators to force the plasma into a ball shape around your enemies' ships, you could melt the ship, as there are few things that could withstand the type of heat generated by the plasma. It is sweet that think of what you can do with something like that!
Parade Days
About a week ago, my church participated in the local parade.
We won the "Best Float" prize!
(Thank you Mom and Sunny for the pictures!)
Jake and Bailey practicing their wave.
The back of the float halfway through the parade.
Me and Pastor passing out tracts
My Dad stepping in to help pass out tracts.
Me taken by surprise by my mom with her camera!
Chris and Tracy bowing at the cross.
Sunny passing out candy shortly followed by a dental clinic passing out toothbrushes.
Oh, the irony!
Sideshot of the float before the parade
The entire parade lasted about 15 minutes it seemed like, it was fast, but if it was any longer, I would have been left even farther in the dust than I was. lol. After all the tracts that were left were counted, the estimate was that we passed out 2000 tracts during the parade. I would say that is not bad!
Magnetic Theories
I have recently been thinking of ways that magnets could be useful. The first way is that you could possibly curve bullets in flight using a beam pole magnet. I don't know if lead is magnetic though, so it could be busted before it gets off the ground. The other way I have been thinking about is possibly creating a way for an easy way of spacecraft liftoff to be done. Possibly, by creating a magnetic field similar to that of the area you are at, you could create enough propulsion to get off the ground and up into the atmosphere. Of course I have no way to test either of these theories of mine, so I am unable to tell if they could work at all.
A late post about the bed.
A New Mattress
So yesterday, I bought a new mattress to replace my old one. I got it for less than half of the sticker price because it was a floor model and the dealer really wanted to make a sale. It is actually quite comfy and looks fancy. Well, I say all mattresses should look fancy enough rather than dullness.
The new mattress will be delivered on this Tuesday, so I will post when it is here. :)
And one final thought, why do mattresses wear down so fast? ~Mr. W
