This year is the 23rd anniversary of the evil terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

It's responsible for creating 90% of the energy you need to sustain life and support organ function. However, malfunction does happen. When mitochondria cannot convert food and oxygen into life-sustaining energy, cell injury and even cell death follow. When this process is repeated throughout the body, organ systems begin...
It is our thoughts and attitudes that determine whether we are happy or upset. Our society has led us to believe that it is people and conditions outside of ourselves that determine our state of mind. Will we be happy or upset? Will you have a good day or a bad day? Most of us have experienced letting another person or even the weather decide if we will be peaceful and happy, or if we will be upset. Many of us who have been on diets have even given our power away to scales to decide for us whether we are happy or depressed. We sometimes choose...
Here are some more interesting facts about our K9 companions. Did you know…”that K9’s have color vision…that’s right!, it’s true. However, it’s limited to blue-violet, yellow-green spectrum, and shades of gray. Blue and yellow are very clear to our K9 friends. (Martin and Martin) Did you know…”that K9’s have a wider field of view compared to us. Canines have a 245 degree field while people have 180 degree field, therefore their peripheral vision is much better. However, their depth perception is more limited in dogs. They also can see well i...

Well it is cool morning here in our little valley. It almost feels like an early Fall morning, it was even a little too cool to sit out on the porch. I really like cool mornings like this. The cats were here early this morning to eat their breakfast, now they have snuggled down and they are taking their cat naps. I am so glad that we got some rain, when it was raining during the night I would wake up and hear the rain, it sounded so good. We sure have needed the rain, everything was really dry. I think this drought has been one of the longest...

Each summer Gideon and I cut a series of radio commercials for my day-job employer (the local farmers cooperative), with the intention of having a little fun and, well, SELLING some stuff.

It’s OK to try, only to find out something didn’t work. How else would you know if it does or doesn’t? Yes, there is that whole, “learning from others, so you don’t have to learn the hard way” thing. But, that seems only to work logistically. Examples of this are: “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey” and/or...

“Hey, Jo, Are people allowed to fly drones over private property?” In the U.S., drone laws regarding flying over private property are still evolving, but here are some important issues, you might want to keep in mind: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controls airspace above 400 feet, and below that, it’s considered navigable airspace, where drones can legally fly. However, drones must comply with FAA regulations, including not flying recklessly or invading privacy. While Flying over private property is generally legal, if the drone...
The last couple of weeks the area has gotten some much needed rain, with some thundershowers with wind and rain and during the fair rain a couple of nights and some events were cancelled on Thursday and Saturday nights. Some even got more than two inches with it varying from one area to another, but all was very welcome. The temperatures are still in the sixties and low seventies at night but up above eighty during the afternoon. Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene...
