How the natives dress
Living in the desert you live with HEAT. When the temps drop and the wind blows it can be 'chilly'. While the rest of the country is enjoying their 70 degree weather and refusing to put away their shorts and swim suits, the natives here are cold!!!!. My son was born here, he is a native, I am a transplant. This is how the natives dress when the temps drop to 70. I even saw women at WM wearing fuzzy snow boots. In fact Julia was wearing her winter snow boots to work and everywhere else..LOL.. 
P.S. The temps are going back up to 90 in the next few days, but it will drop again and eventually get down to 40's and 50's. So we will be pulling out the heavy winter gear then!! LOL

Noah's Ark
A friend sent this to me in e mail.. This is neat!
Working Replica of Noah's Ark Opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands . The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened the first crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's only a replica of the biblical Ark , built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible. The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house. Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold. A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.
Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy. Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top deck - not quite ready in time for the opening - will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and chickens, and goats, and one camel.
Visitors on the first day were stunned. 'It's past comprehension', said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to be bicycling by with her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape.
'I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big.' There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where kids can watch a video that tells the story of Noah and his ark. Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands, where church going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.

Sometimes material just presents itself....
I've been suffering from bloggers block. I don't want to bore you with the mundane happenings in my house, however sometimes material just presents itself. Take tonight for example. We were enjoying a relaxing evening, watching the NASCAR race and for some reason all the smoke detectors go off. Believe me they were loud. The cause of this you ask? Well, Julia had a candle burning in her bedroom, the flame got to high and it started to smoke. The picture does not show the damage very well, but , there is a burnt mark on her wall and you can see the damage to the candle.Where she is pointing is where the flames were when she got to the candle. . Sigh...... Our poor dog didn't know what to think about the noise, he just ran to me cowering, while I covered up his ears. LOL..
