REALLYYYY ?????

Jeremy Hill of Idaho is facing a trial, after he shot and killed a grizzly bear that came into his yard.

Hill claims that he came into the yard where his children were playing to find three grizzly bears had entered the property. He shot one of the bears, killing it and scaring the others away.

Hill reported the incident to the state authorities, who did not express concern. But federal authorities have charged Hill with killing an endangered species.

The case has stoked passions has attracted many supporters, including Idaho's republican governor Butch Otter. If convicted, Hill could face a year in prison or a $50,000 fine.

Hill's trial is scheduled to begin on October 4th.


If A offending animal kills someone , after that happens they will go hunt it down and kill it so it doesnt kill again ! BUTTTTT GODDD FORBIDD that a parent kills it to SAVE that life !!

Welcome to My Little Home Town

Welcome To Carmi , Illinois . What your looking at here is as of Sunday now Closed for traffic . The water reached approx 24" deep shortly after these pics were taken . To get to the restaurant across town , 1 mile away from my house requires a 20 mile drive sooooooooooooooooooooooooo we are not eating out LOL



As you look at the picture below , you can see a building behind the gas pumps . It as of Monday morning has 17" of water inside .



Town is accessible from the south only . The picture below shows one end of a road as it comes into town . The picture below this one is the other end of the road approx 13 miles away .


The other end of the road pictured below is a road that is Built on a raised road bed , kinda like a dam . Its approx 12 feet above the fields , As you can see its about 3 feet over the road that makes the corn field approx 15 feet deep with water at this point .


YES that is corn fields NOT a lake .


There is sooooooooo much water , the field has waves LOL

As I look at these pictures and think about all that we have here , I am grateful that we were spared what many south of us in Tennessee Alabama Kentucky and other places got . I can live with a little water .

Back When GREEN was Really GREEN !

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to her as the young clerk said "That's okay, you didn't have the 'green thing' back in your day."

That's right, they didn't have the green thing in her day. Back then, they returned their milk bottles, coke bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.

But they didn't have the green thing back in her day.

In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks.

But she's right. They didn't have the green thing in her day.

Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts . Wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand new clothing.

But that lady is right, they didn't have the green thing back in her day.

Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house - not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a pizza dish, not a screen the size of the state of Montana .
In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used wadded up newspaper to cushion it, not styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

But she's right, they didn't have the green thing back then.

They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty, instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

But they didn't have the green thing back then.

Back then, kids rode their bikes to school or rode the school bus, instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But they didn't have the green thing back then!
