Everything's all a Twitter...

Posted 05-11-2009 at 04:15 PM by slamont61
I don't get it. Twitter? What is all the rage of it? To me it looks like Texting on Steroids. Makes no sense to me - just one more wedge in our Social Skill Set. You know I'm just now getting used to there being My Space and Facebook - and saddly I have begun to interfacec with Facebook - a bit. I'll draw the line at Twitter - no thanks.

Are our schools now trying to circumvent this new form of Social Interaction? Are the kids being given enough social skills to exist out in the world?...

Springtime in Minnesota...

Our first winter storm has come and gone - yet it isn't even winter yet. On Sunday we had Blizzard Conditions all day long as we picked up about 12 inches of snow. The tempertures plummeted from a low high of minus 8 degrees through to -27 this morning. You don't want to know the wind chill factor. Factor it in and we feel like almost -50 degrees. Yikes is THAT ever cold.

Even my dog, a Miniature American Eskimo seemed perplexed when she stepped outside. I've had to shovel...

Life for me has never been more enjoyable than it is these days. I packed up the Family and move us from Wisconsin, a year and a half ago and moved to Norther Minnesota, specifically Sebeka MN. A small town with a Population of 600 plus where like the bar in "Cheers" everyone knows your name.

Hey, it's not sappy, it's real. We're a tough breed of people. It gets cold here in winter, for a month straight we'll have tempuratures below zero, well below zero.
