help fight this devastating disease

tomorrow my wife she and i will be doing a walk to end
alzheimers at georgetown texas as our warm up walk
before the one for our team in two weeks

WHY
this is why i have made the support of the walk to end alzhiemers
an issue in this blog
it is to help me and probably to help you
i have it and you will be affected by this disease sometime in
your future if not already

my mother was a nurse and many of you who read this had her
as your nurse in the hospital or had her help you with something
medical at your home
you know that she was a special nurse and a special person
she suffered with this terrible disease and reached the final stages
of the disease when she died

my father was a minister and many of you sat in his churches and
listened to his preaching
looking back although not officially diagnosed and looking at the
symptoms he was having i realize now that he had alzheimers and
was in the middle stages when he died of a heart attack
he was spared those final stages

my close relative younger than me has had alzheimers disease
now for about 5 years
many of you have seen that person slowly develop the disease
such that he is now in the middle stages of the disease

i was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment amnestic type
thought probably to be from alzheimers disease
i am lucky as my symptoms are minimal right now and no one
really notices i have a problem even my wife friends or family

i am able to be an advocate for the alzhiemers movement while
im able to do so in a productive way without being limited by my
disease

ive have chosen the alzheimers association to be the charity i
support because it is for a cause that has affected me personally
and my family members and will eventually affect you also
its almost a 100% chance youll be affected
probably no other disease can be said to affect so many people

the walk to end alzheimers is a big fund raiser for the alzheimers
association each year

they have been the big support for caregivers, sources of
information on the disease, advocates for research and
for legislation to help fight the disease eg napa

we and you need your support

PIC RAIN GAuGE
i reposted the rain gauge picture yesterday

HOG HUNTIN
am not talking about what the rolling tide did this last weekend
and what the aggies want to do this weekend

(hog fans remember there are 8 big 12 schools pulling for the hogs
to win this weekend against the aggies
one school and their fans in particular want it bad
show them what they will be up against next year)

in the north especially in the new york areas they are developing
a wild hog problem
welcome to what the south has been dealing with for years
texas has over 2 million wild hogs that are pretty much uncontrolled
my guess is the hog count is not accurate but is much greater
they sure do a lot of destruction in the million of dollars especially
to the agriculture industry

if they dont do something they will be where we are in a few years
thats because those hogs drop those babies more than rabbits do
> 12 per year per momma

in new york game ranches have bought in the russian hogs to use
for hog hunts
they did not let any escape they said and are not the source of
those wild hogs
interestingly all the largest numbers surround the big game ranches
a+b=c
seems simple to me

new legislation restricting their imports has been delayed for 4 years
lets see 1x6 females x 6 females x 6 females x6 females = 1296 females
if 50% of litters are females and each produces 6 females
then multiply x 4 years = greater than 5000 females from one female
know theres a formula to figure that out but i quit doing those after
i finished taking calculus in college years ago

think maybe they need to do something quicker dont you think
maybe export some of those red neck hog hunters from that
cable hog hunting show
theyll get er done for sure
then they could do a new series called yankee hog hunt

just sayin

TEXAS RAIN GAuGE
i have a large rain gage that is 3 feet high that measures up to
5 inches of rain so i can see it from a distance whenever it
rains
it is out in the open so i could get a more accurate rain
measurement of the rain

however the rain we have had is so scarce it disappears before
it gets to the bottom of the rain gauge
so i got this one
it was free off the twist top of a bud light beer
so now it can accurately measure our rain

VINES
several weeks ago i posted a blog with pictures of two
plantings in my yard
one was the monkey pod vine
well the drought has taken its toll
i had to selectively decide to water plants this summer
and the monkey pod vine became my low priority

all did not make it except for one scrawny plant thats
next to one of my struggling tomatoes
i cant make myself take a picture of it since it looks
so bad
hopefully it will produce a monkey pod for planting next year

the other vine i planted was a christmas lima bean which is
growing great
its about 10 feet high and nice and green
hopefully i can get some nice big beans off it in time for
thanksgiving
will try to post pictures if i do

50000, stuff, fb funny

50000
my blog hit the 50,000 viewing yesterday
my most popular blog is the last day thanks december 22, 2010
most of my viewers are from the united states but other
top five countries are united kingdom, germany, russia, china, and
the netherlands

the majority of my readers are from texas, arkansas and california
but you come diffusely to this blog from around the united states

this is the 13th month of my blog so
maybe it will hit 100,000 in 1 year

thanks again to all the readers for reading this blog and responding
to it via email. facebook, twitter, blog comments, phone calls, texts,
and personal conversations

STUFF
the chinese are sending its first space station lab into space
its a sign that we are loosing ground in the space race
is it just something else we are loosing to them
they already own part of our country and somewhat influence a lot
of what is happening here

scary huh

google is financing solar system installations
most home systems cost $20-30000 to install
most people cant afford that so google is funding solar companies
via loans to install these systems on your house and you pay
for the electricity it produces for a long term lease with
no upfront money and electric rates that are lower than what
you pay now
why are they doing this
they are not able to manufacture all their electricity they use so they
are offsetting it by offering this program
eg youre paying $150 a month for electricity
they put the panels on your house and the panels generate electricity
you pay an agreed upon rate for the electricity you use so you
pay only eg $100 a month for x years
the lease goes with the house if it is sold

google gets the incentives for putting in the solar and the interest on
the loans and someone makes something off the excess electricity
that is produced

i am strongly considering using this to put up more solar panels on
my property to supplement the ones i have now
i actually may be able to sell my panels and pay a electric bill each
month to google or a google contracted entity

i will be almost totally googled when that happens

FB FUNNY
