MO Rain!! Well we got a few more days of rain this past week which was great. The sound it makes as it hits the roof of your home or taps against the window ... its kind of soothing to me and just comforts the soul as I stay indoors all nice and warm. But even being out in it is nice as it washes the dirt from my car. Ever listen to that sloshing sound as you drive and the rubber of your tires lifts up the water on the ground and let's it drop back down ... neat.Weekly Update:
So my jury duty ended last week, the case only lasted 2 days, 1 day less then originally thought. The person on trial was found innocent of the two charges against him. The interesting thing about the charges is each one had four elements. If just one of those elements has a doubt about them, then the whole charge must be deemed "not guilty." In short it was a forgery and fraud case but what made it doubtful was "intent to fraud to cause harm." I would like to say is I do not trust LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness and Bally's.
At the movies:Fantasy takes the box office crown this week as The Golden Compass earns 26.1 million. Not a great number as I am sure they were hoping double that, looks like this compass is pointing south. Still strong at #2 is "Enchanted" with another 10.7 mil. Hanging in at #3 is "This Christmas" with 5 mil more and the holidays are over for this one. Another holiday story at #4 is "Fred Claus" with 4.7 mil and struggling to hit the 100 mil mark. Rounding off the top 5 is "Beowulf" with an additional 4.4 mil.
Comment Response:
None at this time.

The world is going crazy and we are in the middle of it. Over the past week we had a shooting at a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska which left 9 dead and at the end of the week two separate shootings at churches in Colorado which left 4 dead. If that is not bad enough, we go halfway across the globe were bombings occur in Baghdad. As we begin a month that is suppose to be synonymous with peace and good cheer is now tarnished for many with death and senseless bloodshed. Who is to blame for all of this? With so many things to influence us these days, I am sure someone will blame the easiest and not the obvious, themselves.
