Good day (31)

Hello all POEsters.

Hope everything is going well wherever you are.

SA had a good day today - beating NZ so comprehensively at cricket and our local rugger team the Sharks  won their mach against the Queensland Reds. Not a good day at the office for antipodeans!

Massive rain storm this afternoon late and still a light drizzle going on. It bodes well (for the spectators) for the world championship round of the downhill mountain bike race taking place here tomorrow. It will be muddy and somewhat slippy.

Only 11 weeks 'til we head north to England's fair climes!

Good night and sleep well.

Good morning...Happy st. Patrick's Day everyone!....

Corned Beef Potato Salad....2/3 cup of dresssing or mayonnaise, 2 Tablespoons of milk, 2 Tablespoons of prepared mustard, 1 Tablespoon of vinegar, teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt,,mix it up and set it aside....boil two medium sized "new" potatoes (white)until tender....peel while warm , cut up and toss with the dressing....to finish this salad off...to one 12 oz. can of Corned beef chilled, and cut into cubes...add 1 and 1/2 cups of finely shredded cabbage...toss with potato and dressing and serve with rye bread and an stout beer. (I'm adding Irish stew instead of the beer, but I also stayed up late last night and made homemade rolls also) If he wants an beer, he's gonna have to go and buy some I guess.

Suppose to have some more snow possibly tomarrow night, treesare starting to bud out you know...OK...our bee population declinehas been targeted back to corn seeds that were laced with an insecticide called Nocotine,,something...and lose you bees... you loseyour food supply in the world...there is no "harvest" without bees.

I am reading that my "Dixon" cousin...as Dickenson also...has no past in England..thanks to the Viking invasion long algo...so they moved in after the Lawson moved out in the area of Boughton Hall...to tell the truth what we all may be sharing is the "Riley" family...and possibly brothers at that...but she would have to give up her Baptist up bringing for the Methodist..as they were preachers of the Methodist movement...may of been Baptist prior.  We all know Mrs. Boughton...she lived in an small house beside the nursing home I worked at, and sold the ground to them to build it. A very little and tiny house at that. My Irsh co-worker's in-laws lived on the other side of the nursing home back then...both are old enough now, I doubt they are alive any more. My cousin married an " Karanu" person..I have no idea...maybe Hawaiian??? I've never met him..sent some children's clothing and material to make them back to her though...for easter one year...and big box of new baby clothes and asked her to spread them about the cousins...being I was the second oldest and my sister the oldest and has no children, they are by now most likely grown an married as like my own son past 30 years old. I have never seen the kids in real life to date. Such goes, they have never made it an point ot come out an visit...and this is an thing of those in the midwest. I can remeber when Ann's kin told her in her last days of cancer, they'd come out to be there and never showed up...but she was expected to go back there every winter to see them. Her heart was broken when they promised her they'd finally come out and didn't....I'll never forget that one. they stopped writing me after grandpa passed on. They are unto themselves. I am not an person use to having relatives around much.. I guess you know...so it's probably good they don't come out. I asked dad onetime why they decided to move 2,000 miles away from family...and his answer was.."because small towns "sterotype" your success in life...and you have to get away from them....the same family runs city hall, the same family has the only grocery store in town, the only car lot in town, the only hardware in town, bank......etc...if your not of that family...you have no future in town....because these family's bascially control it all. and everything done daily in that town according to their desires..not yours". So goes. He has his point I suppose. I guess I had better get going, big rucks over nothing going on in earthboppin...they can find these days the least small information of any kind to blown up into an big hassle... little in the way of information others don't know though.

Accrodingto to the sceintists...when they took their off shore underwater submersibles...to map th eocean off the floor of Oregon, and the west coast...they found out that the Cascadia Fault zone

was one that continualously is flowing in magma, to go down under again the North American Platte..it has no defined "fault Line" which means that it can't have an earthquake...despite the big on of 1700..

that may of been the main old remeannents of the last of an land

section of its own back then, of not California as an island...banging up against shore to no longer being an island, and producing the

now known San Adnres Fault line.,,they also came out in the news

Feb. 14, 2012 that scientist have foudn out that Mt. Hood is not like

Mt. St Helens...they claim that it's composition is such that it would release it's gasses before ever having an eruption due to its internal lava makeup...and would most likley never have an epic event...asthe gasses released woudl stop that occurance...let's hope so...as it's got huge huge condo's on top of it now at Government Camp. They recently sold them off in Bankruptcy suppsosedly. My niegtbors house (Karen's old house) is being soldl by an hispanic real estate company backed by Fanny Mae. Need I say anything more. No one has even stopped by to take an glance at it in the last year an half...this company is out of Vas Vegas I understand. I go for now..... By the way, this house needs rebuilt....it needs an glass front  enclosed garden room attached to it and leave out the front yard. It's on an corner...no one is going to buy it so close to an well used main road beside it with little kids A garden room would provide an place for small kids to play in the mornings and still retain the back yard also... it faces east...morning sun..even shade.  My thoughts on the problem of selling it. Might go OK for an retirement home maybe...two people. Have an good day everyone!

Everyone have a good evening!

Hi CathyML and Shirley....and all

Mothers Day here. Been a good day for Anna because she had all the family round for dinner! Love em all!

In that case Ron I must wish all the Mothers on POE a belated Happy Mother's Day and hope you were all well spoilt and pampered.

The rest of the Mums/Moms will have to wait until May!!
