Good Morning and welcome to another glorious winter day!
After the roller coaster that was 2010 crashed and burned last week, it's time to pick up the pieces. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. Just have to take each day as it comes and hope for the best.
Anyway, one of the oddest stories of 2011 has been THIS ONE about the birds that suddenly crashed dead in Arkansas.
There were all kinds of rumors out there from secret government weapons testing to an alien attack.
The official word is the birds got confused after a fireworks display and dove, head-first, into the ground. Now, birds might not have the biggest brains in the world, but I find it hard to believe they would commit mass suicide after a fireworks display.
There has to be something more going on here. Right? Come on conspiracy people, what really happened?
Never mind, they just wanted to leave Arkansas as quick as possible.

Rise and Shine
Good Morning, Delaware County!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so...
Anybody notice how we keep hearing about how high gas prices are getting, but we really aren't offered any solutions. Sure, we're told to cut down our driving, walk more, ride bikes or stay closer to the house. Really, though, how can we do that?
We have to get to walk. We need to stock up our kitchens. We need to get the children to the library, to the park or to the pool. We need to get around. It's not like the public transportation system offers much help. Have you ever tried to board a bus while only carrying a $5 bill? The driver doesn't even laugh. You have to find change somewhere.
It reminds me of the movie 'Falling Down' starring Michael Douglas. It's about a guy who is just fed up with everything. He takes matters into his own hands and just tries to get home. The ending ruins the better parts of the movie, but it might have been a little bit ahead of its time.
We're all getting fed up with high prices and the like. You shouldn't have to work three jobs just to make ends meet. If this truly is the 'Greatest Country in the World' as we like to say, then we need to get a handle on everything. The divide is getting too big. We need to take care of each other.
By the way, comedian George Carlin died Sunday. It's kind of tough to find a video of him without language that, well, would offend some.
It's not impossible, though, and here's a classic:
