Electric Reindeer

   The blending of Dusty Springfield's Dusty in Memphis and Radiohead with White Zinfandel elicits this afternoon blog.  YouTube and the computer are limiting the mixing of the multi-tasking of the different mediums, so the 89th album on RollingStones greatest albums of all time will control the direction of the days thoughts.   The last 2 weeks have seen snow and now the sun and the beginning of the winter's thaw.  Back in 1967 we had 23" of snow on January 26,27 that closed school for a week and on the 24th a record temperature of 66 degrees was recorded and it was still in the 60's the 25th.  So who would expect a record snowfall the 26th when I went to school only to be sent home at noon and to have to push my dad's car into the driveway at 5 pm.   The roads remained impassable for days and on the 27th I remember taking a sled up to the Krogers in Saginaw Plaza to get some needed groceries with my friend Tom Phillips and his dad.  We have been having earthquakes in Haiti and now In Chile as the earth is moving and possibly changing the Earth's rotation and our days length according to scientists.  Health care reform is still up in the air with Obama demanding a vote to give credibility to the work that has been put into the possibility of its fruition.  I may very well finish off this bottle of wine before this blog is done so I going down to Electric Reindeer Avenue as I see the deer tracks in the snow outback.  Jon took the bar exam for the second time last week and was here for the weekend.  The boys will be on spring break from LCC next week and have been busy with work this week.   Uncle Tom is at Tendercare West and was able to sit up and talk last night, though he was only conversing in Spanish.   March will move us toward the spring that will renew our souls with the waiting of lent and the Easter that redeems.
