Snowing hard today. Got about 3 inches last night and it hasn't stopped. Wind has picked up. but none of that has deterred Spike from going outside. Had a 'new' bird at the feeder today..a stray sparrow which should be long gone. Only saw him for a few seconds so have no idea what type of sparrow it was. Hard to tell in the winter anyway. refilled the bird feeder today. The jays were rather subdued for some reason. One was croaking instead of screeching like he was getting a little birdie cold..lol.

Spent the day baking, 2 loaves of bread and a lemon pound cake. Made one loaf of Parmesan and one loaf of garlic (baked with chunks of garlic in the dough).

Not much to do today. Been working on origami and will post some pics of my masterpieces soon..

Just to keep up with things I am going to start listing the news headlines of the day - check them out at your leisure or just read my comments:

From the BBC:
Bush delays fresh Iraq strategy - what a moron http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6172103.stm
China ends school fees for 150m - that isn't dollars folks, that is millions of children - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6174847.stm There is another good story on the secret trials going on in China along with executions of dissidents. And we want to trade with them.
Italian man sparks euthanasia row - gotta love those Catholics ..suffer.suffer.suffer http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6174603.stm

And now to Africa:

The Kalahari Bushman had a great day. They were illegally removed from their lands and placed in settlement camps and today they won their lawsuit http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6174709.stm
Rwandan priest guilty of genocide - not such a good day for another Catholic. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6175717.stm
Kenyan "miracle baby" paster held - Need a baby? Call you friendly local evangelist http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6176863.stm

Let's not leave out the middle east:

Hamas Judge killed in the Gaza Strip - in retaliation for the killing of three children - I can guarantee this was orchestrated by Israel to prevent any hope for a real peace accord. If they can get Fatah and Hamas to turn on each other, Israel can discontinue their extermination efforts on the Palestinians. Their own personal reverse Holocaust if you will.

Iran: Israel will end like USSR - Read here how Iran hosted a conference to disprove the Holocaust ( in which, in case you forgot, 12 MILLION people were murdered, not just 6 million jews. Hard to have a political action committee when your entire ethnic group was wiped out)

Oh and of most importance Lindey Lohen hasn't had a drink in a week. who fucking cares? but it was an AOL and Bellsouth news headline. Oh wait, Nicole Richie had a DUI. You would think with all of the calories booze has, she would have some fat on those bones. Maybe the nose candy cancels that out.

Well enough for today.
