#SOTU

The President has done a fine job of unifying the nation.

Sixty percent now agree that they dislike him!

State of the City of Chicago in 2016!

The year is fairly young and it's more of the same in the Presidents favorite city.

According to the Chicago Tribune, following the seven people shot to death and 30 more wounded during the latest weekend, the total number of shootings in the Windy City has risen to 120 in just over a week into the new year, according to police.

The fatal shootings included two teens killed by a store clerk during a robbery in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side, and one of three people shot at a party four blocks from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home.

As the Tribune tabulates as of Monday morning, at least 19 people have been killed in gun violence and at least 101 more have been wounded. This is three times higher than compared to the same period one year ago: in the first 10 days of 2015, "only" nine people were killed and another 31 wounded.

May you never stop dreaming and may all your dreams come true!

Eastern Montana, 2016

A friend and I enjoyed a cold morning getting some fine organic meat in the freezer!

Drink up, it's Christmas!

A couple were in a busy shopping centre just before Christmas.

The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they
had a lot to  do, so she called him on the mobile. The wife said "
Where are you, you know we have lots to do"

He said "You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago
and you fell in love  with that diamond necklace.  I could not afford
it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you."

Little tears started to flow down her cheek and she got all choked
up. "Yes, I do remember that shop"

"Well I am in the bar next to that."

Life Changes for 2016

As I’ve gotten older I ‘ve become aware of the cost of wasting time and be restless about my time.

Wear my LIFE BELT all the time. 

Make 2016 the busiest and best year of my life. 

Cook more and eat better. 

Engage in conversation with others who are fully engaged to be in conversation. If they have a smart device in their hand or in front of them I will not engage.
