Random thoughts today:
1. 4"+ of snow on the ground today. It is October 18, in case you don't know. Colorado Springs, I have found, has lovely days in the summer, but spring and fall are another story altogether. In 2006, we had snow on May 5 I believe, and now October 18th. That's a 5 month break. Weird (not as much as Buffalo last week but...)
2. The US population reached 300,o00,000 earlier this week. The obvious question is: how do they count and keep track between census taking years? Someone explained it to me the other day but I still don't know. Did you know it took almost forty years for the US to go from 200 to 300 million but it took just less than 6 years for China to go from 900 million to 1 billion in the early 70's. It's all relative. We still have one of the lowest person per square mile ratios in the world.
3. This one is just weird: http://www.gazette.com/display.php?id=1322725, It kind of reminds me of a Ghostbusters quote: "Cats and dogs living together..."
4. My youngest child has turned into the "nose-hair" police. She'll tell me when they're getting long. Which begs the question: Why does hair begin to grow in undesired areas when we age and fall out in the places where we want it - like top of our head)?
5. Here's a great thought for today: Read scripture again for the very first time. Find a familiar section of verses and read it anew with a new outlook; for a new purpose; to learn some thing new (something new possibly about yourself). Try that one on.
