Weather and Wills

For anyone watching the news and weather, the weather is going to get pretty cold over the next couple of days. Even in Texas the temperature will reach the low 30's.So bundle up, and stay warm. I personally love the cold weather, so this makes me happy. However, most people I know are looking forward to the summer.

Now on to a more important topic. WILLS.
I know most people do not wish to talk about their deaths, however once of age, one should think about this topic. Also, if you have one, make sure it gets updated. This ensures that you and your loves ones are taken care of, and that your wishes are honored. Moreover, if one dies without a will, in many states your assets becomes property of the state.
I highly doubt I have any readers under the age of 18 (the age of majority), so make sure to take care of this. Remember every state and country have their different laws and rules about Wills and trusts, so, take care in doing this.

*Additionally, if you have any valuables, take pictures so you have a record of your valuables.

It is about as good we get.

It rarely snows here.
But today around 4 Pm there were reports of snow falling already.

In some places it is very white, but in other places it is barely sticking.

But it so beautiful.

Driving through clouds

After all that is been going on, it is nice to see even nature is trying to be back on schedule. The true cold front winds are passing through. On Thursday, I drove through some fog on my way to work. The denser parts of the fog had already risen to about the eighth floor on buildings. It was really beautiful. I did not have my camera with me, otherwise I would show everyone.

My thoughts have been on storing. I know I mentioned this the other day. I have also thought about transport for my storing, if I was to flee. Car would be no good if there was any type of EMP disturbance or simply if I have no gas. So the choices are either an old (1970's and before) car which runs on near to no electronic devices, or something self propelled (eg: a bike.) However, if I was fleeing, a bike would not be the best choice because there is cover, so it would be relatively unsafe.

I know my ranting thoughts seem a little tin foilish, but bear with me. I believe preparing. If I had not, Ike would of been far worse for me. If events like Ike can happen, which most people did not see coming, what is to say other things can not. They are quite plausible, otherwise the government would not do the drills they do, or promote preparation as they do.

I would like to mention I am not so wrapped in preparing that I do not live. I can not understand those who get so wrapped in what they do, may it be video games, preparing, religion, work, or what ever else is their thing. Do not forget to live. You need to prepare, but preparing is about survival and living, so what is the point if you don't live? When I say live, I do not mean breaking laws or hurting people. I simply mean enjoy the people around you. Be cognitive of what is going on around you.

A side note: I did mention religion. I mentioned religion, because I know people who do nothing but go to church. Now, I have no quarrels about church. It is a good thing. But, if you spend all your time at church, then are you doing what you are learned at church?

You all take care of yourselves. Like I have said before pay attention to the news. Read multiple sources, and if you can read the news in different languages. The way another country reports about something happening here can be quite different than the news we are receiving. A good source for news is http://www.drudgereport.com/ It sums up all the news in one place. I find it to be more honest then a lot of major news networks.

Laptop Care

For many of us, our laptops are our lives.. and a major investment.
So, just like your car, you should take care of your laptop.

Even though where I live it does not even reach freezing most of the time, I was curious what the cold could do to a laptop.

The following links are just ones about taking care of your laptop in the cold, but the last one is a fun link from a company that makes electronics to withstand the extreme cold.

Enjoy!

A Little Bit of Everything.

I am so proud of Sarah Palin. Many people make the mistake that feminism is about woman dominate power.but it is not. Woman and men are meant to be complementary. It about good strong women who can kick butt, and actually bring good to this world like I have mentioned before. http://ontologicalthinker.blogspot.com/2008/06/feminism.html

She spoke very well, and really did a good job at yesterday's Republican National Committee. Congratulations, Sarah!

I am pleased to announce that when I walked outside today for work, I was met with a cool breeze. This means Autumn is coming. With cooler weather coming, we will want to stay warm. It is easy to crank up the heater, but that is friendly to your pocketbook. Instead use blankets, sweaters, and insulating your house properly, this way you do not have to turn the heater on so high.

This will be a interesting election, needless to say.

Take care, watch out for Hanna and Ike, and keep an eye on the news.
