Hidee-Ho, neighbors! I hope that 2013 has found you doing great.
Have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe! ~Maw * * * 1. Please share with us why you are happy to be alive today: 2. What did you get for Chrismas? 3. If you could change one thing about 2012, what would it be? 4. When you see a sign posted that reads "wet paint", do you touch the paint to see if it's true? 5. What did you do New Years Eve?

Do you eat healthy? 10. What are you looking forward to in 2013? -------------------- Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. Rather it should be to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand and the Good Book in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!" |

1. Please share with us why you are happy to be alive today:
I happy about my health. I'm happy to still be smoke free. I'm happy to be married to the most wonderful woman in the world. 2. What did you get for Chrismas? Nothing spectacular. It was a thin Christmas. 3. If you could change one thing about 2012, what would it be? I would have gotten out on the hiking trail for at least an overnight. 4. When you see a sign posted that reads "wet paint", do you touch the paint to see if it's true? No. 5. What did you do New Years Eve? Did you stay up until midnight? With my wife living 200+ miles away during the week right now I had a relaxing evening at home with the dog. I was in bed by 10:00pm; it was beautiful. 6. How cold has it gotten in your area lately? New Year's Day at noon it was 12 below. Today it's above freezing. 7. Do you have any plans to vacation in a warmer climate in the near future? Not at the moment. 8. Do you go out often at night? Not anymore; there was a time when I would have been out most every night. 9. Do you eat healthy? I try to but usually fail to. Once both my wife and I are living in the twin cities we are going to make a huge push to eat better. 10. What are you looking forward to in 2013? I'm looking forward to actually getting out on the hiking trail this year. I am also looking forward to a few astronomical events this year. This March comet C/2011 N7 should be visable to the naked eye and this fall comet ISON will be brighter than the full moon as long as it lives up to it's potential. -------------------- QUOTE(Apologistnky @ Nov 4 2010, 10:57 PM)  A squirrel cannot carry the rabies virus... but has no trouble carrying the AK-47 assault rifle or the M72 Light Anti-tank weapon ( LAWS rocket)!! :unsure: :lol: |

You are right, a Very few choice places have it. When we would camp up on the Muskegon river, there was a gas station/store that had it, I had a couple uncles drinking it as well. I love GR, such a diverse and growing town. I moved away for 4 years and Itched to move back, usually its the other way around for people.
