I am presently watching a news report on the stories from the tsunami that recently destroyed large parts of Asia, and drastically altered many many lives. There are so many that were killed as a result of the massive waves, I am not sure how to feel about it.

Of course I pray for the families that are affected, and the survivors that are at risk for so many more problems, like disease, malnutrition, infection, lack of medical treatment.

It really has put my whining about my cold onto a back burner.

It's amazing to watch the news about all of the other weird weather going on. Am I the only one who thinks that it is like a domino effect? There are parts of Europe that are flooded, without power, so far 15 people dead. Could this not be a side affect of the massive tidal wave that has destroyed parts of the world? There is weird weather in Canada and the U.S. Again, without reason. I see a link. Every time there is a huge meteorlogical (spelling?) 'event', I can't help but think that the worldly aftermath is as a result.

There's flash flood warnis all over America. Last week there was horribly unexpected snow storms. People were dying in California, I think it was, where in one day they got like 9 feet of snow!!! That is insane. There is a new winter weather warning in Northern California. They are using an old Howitzer to avoid fatal avalanches!

England has flooding. There is Avalanches in Utah. Flooding in the US, the OHIO River.
Ice storm in NC Indiana.

If you tally up the lives that were lost in the time since the Day of the Tsunami, all over the world, I believe they are all connected. The rest of the world will be a large number alone, but the loss in Southern Asia alone is devastating. Add them together, and it is something they should consider.

When huge oceanic plates shift, causing a tsunami, is there really any wonder that it could cause world wide havoc...?

This is my random ramblings for today.

I am a little out of it today, so this post may not have had any real 'flow'. But that's okay. The Echinacea should help. I have a really bad cold, have had a sore throat, cough, aches, head ache, congestion, sniffles, sneezes...

It's a combination Chest and Head cold. It really sucks.

So this is why I won't be visiting my Aunt, Uncle and tiny little cousin, until I am 100% better.

I am going to go now though, and go visit Chris at work. He got called in because someone else didn't show up, again.

I think I will go find some Chicken Noodle soup while I am down there. The mall has some really good little restaurants, but I won't go to the Polka Cafe. I have heard that they discriminate against ethnic, and especially Native, People. I don't want to support that kind of thing, so I will avoid it altogether.

I may not look it, but I am part Native, French and Dutch. I am proud to be, and do not put up with that crap.

I just typically don't put up with crap, period. Espescially from people who treat other people like dirt.

Warning, I am a bit of a feminist. I like to think of myself as independant, strong, confident, and tend to intimidate. I find it funny if guys are a bit afraid of me. I strive to correct that if I notice it is like that, I would rather be approachable, a friend to these people...

But I will not put up with guys who are chauvinistic. I can do almost everything a guy can do, save for nature's restrictions, including my height, amongst other things. But guys can't do a lot of things women can. Although I wonder if they would want to .

Going to go now... tired and stuffed up and stuff to do...

I wonder if anyone actually reads this???
