I wanted to see the video that 916WI posted on the 11th but it says it has been removed by the user. Hmm, something doesn't smell right here. Could that user have been "persuaded" to remove it?? 916WI - I wonder if you could find it again and repost the link?

Regarding the house: why burn it down? Don't people move houses anymore? If the city doesn't want it, how about selling it at auction with the winner picking up the tab to have it moved. I know it's expensive to move a house, but if someone could buy the house for $100, or even $5,000 it might be a worthwhile venture, wouldn't it?

Great story. In the middle of so many failing government programs is one that is actually making a change for the better and able to do so despite our economy. The kids served under this program will be better for it. And, as the story points out, WIC is teaching healthier alternatives for all.

Unbelievable! Or is it in a state where you don't see jail until you're caught drinking and driving for the 7th time? I'll bet had the cyclist been killed, that they might even have doubled the fine!

Ok, thanks Swisschick. For those interested in these thrill killings, here's a story from July 23's Madison.com. http://host.madison.com/news/local/artic...
It states that the brothers who killed the deer claim that they were hunting, but it does not state that they were aquitted.

mrsjoe - I hadn't heard anything about the outcome of that trial (regarding the snowmobilers who killed the deer). I can't find anything on-line about it either. Can you help?

Yes, these poor little darlings. Just having a bit of Independance Day fun when things got a bit out of hand. Let's shed some tears for the horrible ordeal that they've had to go through. Just imagine the embarrassment of being arrested and now they're on trial. Gimme a break!! They caused *** $50 million *** of damage!! Who do you think has to pay for that? Not them, that's for sure. It will be you and me as we can watch our insurance rates go up!

I had never been to Magnolia Bluff Park either, but went there with 2 of my kids this summer. If you enjoy the constant stench of manure from the nearby farms, then by all means go. Otherwise, pass or go in the winter. By the way, we saw neither magnolias nor a bluff.

On Child Internet safety

I was recently made aware of a free program called OpenDNS. I urge parents who are concerned about what can stream into your house to look at this program. It has a great filter that you can set to block websites that feature illegal drugs, violenece, porn and more. It also has a setting that would disallow social media sites such as Facebook, Myspace, etc. It can be set up on an individual computer or on an entire home network. As a parent it is expected of us to guard our children. This is just one more tool to help us to so and I'm thankful that I ran across it. I just want to share it with lots of other parents. This seminar sound very good as well.
