What are you waiting for? If not you, who? If not now, when?

Video by the Minnesota Jaycees


Here is a great organization to volunteer, learn, show an gain solid friendships!



There are many people I know in the Minnesota Jaycees that have proved themselves in their communities and within the state to be a positive force of change. These are people who see thing in the world that they don't like, make a plan to improve it and then act to make things better.

Volunteering to improve the world through the Jaycees isn't work. It's fun and enjoyment! People who participate in this dynamic organization are the in the top ten percent!

I think about the great years I had had being involved in this organization. The great people I've met, and the fun I had. Even though I'm an alumni of the Jaycees, I look forward to continually supporting this organization.

This guy starts with one red paperclip and ends up with a house - Video



 
This man had a worthy goal to own a house.
This shows that one can be creative and have a large goal in mind by 
starting small and then ending up with big results!
 
Also, this young man learned that the journey to a 
destination is just as or more important than the destination.

Heavy Petting - Riley a Black Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog



Riley

Black Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog Mix: An adoptable dog in Farmington, MN
Large • Young • Male


Riley is almost a year old and good with other dogs . He likes to play too but not hyper! He is housebroken but still need to crate him when you are not home since he is still a puppy and loves to chew; but don't worry, he likes rawhides!

He is about 75 lbs and all love and works for food!! He knows sit, stay, down but still counter cruises... we are working on that!

Riley is very housebroken and quiet in the crate. He can sleep anywhere at night with you! He uses his nose to find toys and not his eyes. He would make a good sniffing dog! He loves to play with other dogs at Camp Bow wow but when he is on a tie out, he acts like he is going to hurt every dog he meets so he needs a fenced in yard or acreage. He knows his name and won't run off so a home with lots or acreage he would love to be there and then come indoors and sleep on your bed!

~ Adoption Fee: $200 (cash only, no checks)

This dog will not be at the adoption day this Saturday, (January 29th 2011) from 11-3. Call the foster to learn more!

In Honor of Martin Luther King, Jr

I wanted to commemorate today, Martin Luther King Day, to remind everyone to be good to each other and our neighbors no matter who they are and what their background is. Because we only hear bits and pieces of it on the news I thought it would be great to have his "I Have a Dream" speech text and video given on August 28, 1963, for all to see and appreciate.

He spoke for all people of all races.

I ask all to see the video and read along and contemplate. Has his dream been accomplished?

You are welcome to comment at the bottom of this post.

Here it is:












I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

This man has overcome his not having any arms and learned how to shoot a gun and load it with his feet.
I want to thank my longtime good friend Dan Anderson who found this video for me.

Is your iTunes account being sold online



Your iTunes account could be being sold online all over China for prices as low as just a few bucks.

On December 19, 2010, I happened to get an email receipt saying that I had made some purchases through iTunes. The purchases were for $19 worth of games, songs and video. Someone was able to hack my account and use the gift card credit that I had remaining in the account. I thought that it was an isolated issue.

But no, I was wrong, dead wrong...

Dogs sliding in snow



This is a great video. Dogs sliding on their backs down a hill and loving it!

Twin Cities Minnesota Blizzard December 11, 2010




This video was taken through the windows of our home in Rosemount, Minnesota, showing the blizzard that closed major freeways and highways because of the snow and the wind. Storm total snow accumulation of 12 to 17 inches and tonight it will get down to -9 F (-22 C).

Forcasted for today was going to be snow. Snow started at midnight this morning. It will continue this afternoon and it will snow into the night. Catriona, a friend of ours from Scotland, wanted to come and stay with us in January (sometime). Umm… well… winter can be good and it can be bad as evidenced in the video on this post. I really think that she would like it here better in late summer. She would really like the State Fair and the shopping at the Mall of America. At that time, Cliff, Zoaunne and I could show her how to catch her limit in fish in one of our lakes.

I went outside to brush the snow off my car, shovel the sidewalk and clear off the driveway with the snow blower. The wind is blowing from 20 to 30 MPH (32 – 48 KMH) so that makes the wind chill very cold! It seemed that I no sooner got done clearing it all off, when the snow was already starting to drift up again.Will be at it again later...
