I came across a fun web site today Science Daily. After reading several of the articles, I came across this hilarious article about a person who found boxes with dead people on her property.
If that happened to me, I would move!

Dreams
Many of us have dreams that can be so vivid, it burns it's existence onto our memory so the next morning, not only do you remember the dream, but your a bit wigged out by it.
All week I've had dreams like this. Although only 2 have survived in the memory banks. I'd like to share one with you.
Dream: Bad guys are chasing a group of us through Manhattan, including my cat. We try to hail cabs, but for some reason they don't come even close to where we're
located. It's suddenly winter and we're climbing up a steep hill (in Manhattan?) and crawl through a barbed wire fence (which was surprisingly easy) and make it to a car. We're all safely buckled in although it was a bit tough to buckle in the cat. The bad guys are still after us and I yell, "Lets go!". To my utter shock and fright, the entire group all sit back staring at the horizon and say, "Na, lets just sit here and enjoy the moment."
I woke up with the following words at my lips, "Are you kidding me?"
All my dreams have been this exasperating. Shall I check myself in to a funny farm now, or later?

State Fair
It's State Fair time again. I don't know about you, but I love attending fairs. Food everywhere to be tasted, amusement rides, shows, dutch oven cook-offs, giant sized pumpkins on display, animals on display (and if you're lucky, you get to see how a sheep is sheered), and then there are always the stalls advertising things to sell. You can buy cleaning products, sewing machines, jewelry, dolls, art, get your back tested by a chiropractor (at every corner), hats, clothing, expensive cookery, gadgets, tools and many products that can only be found at fairs. Last year my dad and I were hypnotized by a paint and finishing stripper. It worked fast and completely dazzled our imaginations as we thought of all the projects we could work on with this product. Alas, it could only be purchased at the fair and was rather expensive. After long consideration, we decided to pass on it that time. Although I don't know if I can pass on it two years in a row.
Another of these fun "Only find at a fair" products is a water globe that you can put together yourself. You can use fresh flowers, silk flowers, statues, glitter or anything you can create. You carefully position the item and insert it into the water filled globe. As you can imagine, I couldn't pass up on such fun item. I bought two, and yes they work wonderfully.
Besides all the products to buy, there are the animals to be seen. You can pay 2.00 to see a huge horse (I'm not falling for this one) or simply enter the animal houses. About three years ago my dad and I entered the bull house to find a rather large impressive bull. We inched closer to it from the rear and instantly realized that what we were doing might be a mistake. The bull must have been laughing inside when he broke wind with a sneeze like action, complete with substance. It was like being hit by a machine gun filled with cow pucky. Little Brown globs splattered on our clothing, in our hair and on our skin. People all around us were laughing without reserve. As you can imagine, we were pink with humiliation.
For years we've made it a tradition to eat lunch by the miniature manufactured pioneer village. Freshly made Navajo tacos complete with a humorous man and horse show make this a thing to remember.
I don't know about you, but this year I hope the fair once again tickles my imagination and produces even more fun memories.

More Planets?
For the past several days, news of 4 new planets being discovered is being broadcasted. I anxiously watch and wait for some decent information to be announced, but news stations only provide you with a tickler of information that provides very basic infomation. "4 new planets have been discovered, isn't this great. Now onto other news..." What the... where's the rest of the infomation? Well, naturally I turn to our good and trusty NASA web site to get the information that the news won't to give. Maybe they made an agreement with aliens to keep the thing low key. Hmmm... Oh well.
Anyway, it turns out that one of the planets found is about the size of our Neptune. That sucker is HUGE! 10-20 times the size of earth. It's true that they don't know if it's made of rock or gas, but the idea of such a big planet circuling a star called "Gliese 436" is just exciting. (Levi, can we get a high power telescope?) Here are some sketches of what this new planet might look like.
NASA does a good job at tickling our imaginations on this site, as they even discuss the possibility of finding planets like ours that can sustain life. Oooo. possible aliens.
