So, my mom and Holly just saw an 8 point buck standing in the neighbors lawn! I may sound calm, BUT I'M REALLY BLOWING MY TOP ON THE INSIDE!!!!!!!! I don't think the Bible says "Thou shalt not covet the trophy deer standingth in thy neighbor's lawn" does it?

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

We just witnessed a squirrel sitting on the handle bars of my brothers Jetski. Does that bother you the same way it bothers me???

I DUG IN THE DRY SAND! LOL!" then I dug a big hole next to it! Ya, I am badd! Just don't tell Chris!

Nuclear Science Merit Badge

Last night, we started the Nuclear Science Merit Badge at scouts. It is really cool! (At least I think so. I am one of the only people my age I know that get giddy while learning about Radiation!) Anyway, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Our councler brought in a Geiger Counter and was showing us differant radioactive metals. He also taught us the basics behind radiation. All in all, TOTALY AWESOME COOL!!!!!!!!

Paul and David, you have NO idea what you missed!

Just Because I Wanted to Share This With You...

I'm not sure it is a good thing that I know how to open a locked door with out a key. In fact, I just had to break into my neighbors house. It makes me feel like a Special Operations Agent...

"The Gods of the Copy Book Headings" by Rudyard Kipling

I thought this poem would be appropreat with the elections comming tomorrow. It seems like Kipling was talking about today, 100 years ago!

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its ice field, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, they promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

On the first Feminine Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
by robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
but, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
and the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
there are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Sandy

As you probably know, the beginning of this week was made up of mostly wind and rain. Oh, and power outages! Sandy Was the largest, mass wise, storm that ever hit the East Coast! (How does that make you feel?) It killed 63 people, left 4,000,000 people with out power and shut down New York City! We got walloped! Ya think God was trying to tell us something? Like "I don't like your aditude! Smarten up!"
We thought it was funny! Obama said, in 2008, that he would "stop the rising oceans." That didn't happen! Glenn Beck should be all over that!
