Well for once, the weathermen were right. Between late yesterday afternoon and this morning we received probably 5 or 6 inches of snow. We’re supposed to get some more later in the week and then also again the middle of next week. While we welcome this for the water, I do have to box and ship 50 cases of wine or so probably beginning Monday which isn’t the  easiest to do in the snow and cold weather. I should have cleaned out the garage yesterday. Oh well, lucky I have warm coats!
It’s 4:45 and I just vacuumed up the kitchen as the damn dog (Lacey) pulled out all the trash under the sink and had it strewn all over the kitchen. No wonder she wasn’t barking for food! I wonder what Mojo thinks as he sits there in his crate (where he sleeps) watching her. He must be thinking, “boy are you going to get in trouble”.
The misses was gone most of the day working while I was in and out. The youngest did well on his tests, according to him, which go on for the next 2 weeks. His basketball game was fun for him and we all made it home around 8pm and then headed straight to bed.
The oldest is down here on the couch with me right now as he woke up early. After we (I) take them to school, we have a conference call with Switzerland where Laura lives so we can all work on repackaging the skin care line that the misses is now managing. I then need to run downtown for a meeting or two. The oldest is hoping that they cancel school today and while in many states they would, I don’t think it’ll happen here in Colorado.
Time for coffee and shoveling the walk as it’s 5am. Take care and hope all’s well. Here’s your quote for the day, there are so many warnings from history yet we ignore them time after time, God help us and our children.
“Do not suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty by any pretences of politeness, delicacy or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice.” – John Adams, 1789
One last thing, here’s something real disturbing no one in their right mind can ignore. It seems the Dept. of H o m e l a n d  S e c u r i t y  has ordered up practice targets of American citizens for them to practice shooting at. They include pregnant women, old people and little kids. They say it is to desensitize their agents so if they have to shoot at Americans like this, they can, see below,
DHS Supplier Provides Shooting Targets of American Gun OwnersA provider of “realistic†shooting targets to the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies has created a line of “non-traditional threat†targets that include pregnant women, mothers in playgrounds and elderly American gun owners.
Law Enforcement Targets, Inc. is a 21-year designer and full service provider of training targets for the DHS, the Justice Department and thousands of law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The company’s website offers a line of “No More Hesitation†targets â€designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.†The targets are, “meant to help the transition for officers who are faced with these highly unusual targets for the first time.†The targets include “pregnant woman threat,†“older man with shotgun,†“older man in home with shotgun,†“older woman with gun,†“young school aged girl,†“young mother on playground,†and “little boy with real gun.†Why are top training target suppliers for the government supplying the likes of the DHS with “non-traditional threat†targets of children, pregnant women, mothers in playgrounds, and elderly American gun owners unless there is a demand for such items? This is particularly alarming given the fact that the Department of Homeland Security has purchased roughly 2 billion rounds of ammunition over the course of the last year, enough to wage a near 30 year war. In comparison, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. The DHS also purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles last September, labeling them “Personal Defense Weapons.†The fact that targets of armed pregnant women, children, mothers in playgrounds, and American gun owners in general are being represented as “non traditional threats†“for the first time†is deeply concerning given the admitted preparations for civil unrest undertaken by Homeland Security as well as other federal agencies. A leaked US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations†also outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest. This also dovetails with the continuing characterization of Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,†and “reverent of individual liberty†as “extreme right-wing†terrorists by DHS-funded studies. The US military trained last year to take on another “unusual target†– zombies – which some fear is just a ruse to get troops used to engaging crowds of people with deadly force. As Alex Jones documented in his film Police State 2000, numerous “urban warfare†training drills stretching back well over a decade have revolved around incarcerating and battling the American people on domestic soil. See the other “non-traditional threats†that are being provided in the form of shooting targets to the DHS and thousands of law enforcement agencies below. Note: The website containing these targets has crashed since this article was published, but this graphic shows a screenshot of the page with the URL visible.

So how do you like your gov training to shoot these kind of people? Can you ever imagine a scenario where old people, little kids and pregnant women, young girls, would be aiming guns at the gov? The only way this could happen is if our rights were so violated that even the elderly, moms to be and children were to rise up. Unbelievable and very very disturbing.
