School has not started yet and kids are getting the flu already. How bad is it going to be when school starts and the real flu season gets here, I am not looking forward to the flu season this year, this might be the first time in a long time that I get myself one of the flu shots. My wife gets them most years and we seem to get sick about the same but I can not take a chance on getting the flu this year, I have no one to cover for me at work and it would be bad if I missed any work at all this year.

It is a sad day when a jet filled with vacationers just disappears and no sign is found of the plane. Today they started to find some of the bodies from the downed jet and I wonder if they will all ever be found. It would be a very sad day to think one of your friends or relatives was missing with little or no hope of finding their body to put it to rest with the rest of your family, I do not think I would handle something like that very well. God Bless the families of the folks on the doomed plane and I hope your family is found and put to rest soon.

We had an F-5 tornado go through our southern counties and I think that the loss of two lives was a tragedy, but it could of been much worse. Most of the homes that were hit had no one at home, it was about noon so everyone was in school or at work, if it had been at 5pm it would of been a terrible tragedy. We have the problem of not being able to see the coming storms because of the trees and hills. So it is critical to have a good weather radio to keep track of the storms.

One of the advantages to living right next to a huge lake is that when I decided to go fishing I can literally walk to the lake if I had to. Plus we have a pond within a hundred yards from the house where I can go if I do not want the crowd at the lake. My grandson has caught the fishing bug and I bought him his own rod and reel. He now asks to go fishing almost every time he is at our house which is almost every weekend, a fishing buddy is not a bad thing at all.

That day is looming on me. April 15th has never been one of my favorite days anyway and now with all the extra pressure of getting my taxes done on time is driving me to drink. I will lock myself in the office with a coffee pot and all of our receipts and I will not come out until I am done with the taxes. Add in the fact that I do not even like coffee and you can see what a mess I am in this year last year I had to file an extension I do not want to do that this year, so off to the office I go.
