Over the past few days I've thought up alot of new things to change on this site. It will come along a little at a time. The weather has changed for the better. With low humidites and low dewpoint. Last night we hit 48 degress with a high of 77. Kind of like mountain weather were you get a wide range in temperature in one day because the air is so dry. I'm on a four day Labor day weekend, Horray! CLC is nice when it comes to vacation time. Today has been a busy day. Starting at 1pm my parents and I went up to Racine. To go do errands. One of those errands was to look for bowling shoes and a ball since I joining the Friend's league next Wednesday. I didn't find anything really exciting though. Tomorrow hopefully Gurnee Mills will be open and I can go to Sports Authority. I know they have a better selection. Were eating late tonight because we had a 2:30 lunch which is very unusual for us. I hope I can get some good scores in bowling on Wednesday night. The practice over the summer helped me out a bit. I held a 145 average. It's been as high as 163 for two months back in 1999. Well I better get going to dinner.
Adios!

Over the past few days I haven't updated because we were getting ready for my Aunt and Uncle's stay last night. They came down from Iron Mountain, MI to help there oldest son finish packing up and move to there area. It seems like our whole family is moving up there little by little. I live up there in a heartbeat. I really don't like this area much anymore. The traffic, noise, pollution, and rude people are enough to make you go crazy. Thursday afternoon it took me fifty minutes to get home. Due to construction and a major accident. Police blocked off the whole road just as I got up to it and I had to fight the chaos and turn around and go back into Waukegan and back around to Green Bay Rd then home.
The best part was when my Aunt and Uncle came at 9:05pm last night. They had been driving for 5 hours to get here. There always funny to listen and talk too. I gave them there Upper Michigan maps, one for them and then other for my aunt and uncle in Gladstone, MI. They were saying last night that they already had there first frost up there. I mentioned that was the same night it was 48 here. Low 40's are expected latter next week here. And they told the story of the black bear who has visited Gladstone three times this summer. He's been raiding garbage cans and so forth. Well each time they take him back to Bark River and then a week or two later he's back again. My uncle said he must have some sort of map on how to get back to town.
This morning I made them a big breakfast. They left to help Edward there son pack up at about 9:30am. I was up at 6:45 this morning so I'm quite tired now. I better get going. I know I said I get to updating this site more, I will don't worry.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims in these horrible acts of terrorism and their families. I hope for the survivors still trapped under the debris in New York and Washington that they will be found soon.
I hope we can find the people responsible for this soon and bring justice to them.
I couldn't believe my ears when my uncle told we what was unfolding on the East coast at about 9:00 AM this morning. Event after event shocked me today and it came in from the radio. I got sick to my stomach when I saw the videos. I didn't even try going to classes today. I hope our government can deal with this situation in the best logical way.
Again my prayers go out to those people who lost there lives today.

I haven't forgotten about the site. I've been watching alot more tv then anything since last Tuesday (09.11.01).
I've been amazed at how fast and far the CIA & FBI has gotten in catching these terrorist suspects. 75 people as of earlier today. Every morning for the past 10 days, I've gotten up earlier to watch the news to see if there was any updates. Last Thursday I put up our American flags on the house and on the mailbox. I have also six large flag stickers on the windows of my car. Last Friday I was at Target with my mom and the ratio of people that had red, white, and Blue was about 19 to 20. It's great seeing people showing their patriotism and coming together.
I've gathered a large collection of newspaper atricles already. The Special Report newspapers will become worth alot of money some day. For the one-week anniversary my mom made to American Flag cakes with Strawberries and Blueberries for the people at work. Everyone really enjoyed it!
I listened to President George Bush's speech. Every word he said was right. We must rid this world of terrorism starting with Osama Bin Laden. I know all the terrorist are probably not to scared of the US and our allies right now because there just so cold hearted, but wait till we find them in there caves and holes in the ground.
Otherwise, in my personal life things have gone fairly good. Today at work we had a really busy day. 149 packages that is. I spent part of the day in the back and in the office. That's why I'm considered office & Shipping/Recieving. As of right now it started raining lightly. We need rain like I need a root canal. We had a surprisingly large amount of rain yesterday with a total of 3.65". With caused the intersection of RTE 173 & Delany Rd to flood...again.
I watched a Discovery program last night on the Taliban. Which was interesting as well as depressing. Not all those people are bad just those that support that type of government. Those people are living in a prison with terrorist.
Osama Bin Laden thinks he can hide from us, but he's not invisible, he can be found. It will take alot of work and patience. It's for a very, very, very good cause to find these evil criminals.
Well I better split and get a shower before it starts lightning.
Good Night and...............> God Bless
God Bless America!
