Just out of curiosity, does marriage counseling ever work? Do counselors really save marriages, or is it a racket? I have spent thousands to "save" two marriages, failing twice. And I know of no one that has had counseling work. Just wondering.

The "Creationism" bill here in my ignorant state (a fact, as we rank near the bottom in college graduates), is on hold. The Houe speaker has said he won't put it up for a vote. Reason? An amendment was judiciously added to include teaching ALL religious theories of creation. Since just a Christian (Bible) story being "taught" would likely be Constitutionally struck down, they thought introducing every and all religions would do the trick. But the question became, who out there is authoritative enough to teach both biology and umpteen religous theories? Very few.
"Wait'll next year" is the cry from the wackos.

Did anybody see the NOVA on the Himalayas last night? Absolutely spectacular! The species of cranes there sound remarkably similar to our sandhill cranes, which, by the way, have been flying north recently (over my house). Way early!
More evidence of global warming (as is Himalaya glaciers melting at an alarming rate).

And if that isn't enough evidence, the ground around here never did freeze deeper than 2 inches. 30 years go, it was 2 feet!
That's why "the house" is currently stuck in knee deep mud in the middle of a corn field. Who would have thunk it?

Until the temps got around 40 yesterday, they were able to move the house ALMOST to the final resting spot (sounds like a cemetery site, which appears likely at this time), 200 yards away, I'm guessing. It will have to sit there until the ground either freezes up (unlikely now) or dries out. So frustrating.
