Most of the 'cooler' States in America are in major discussions about 'snow' this week.  Here outside the Milton Studio's, one can notice Indiana must be of the chilly homes.  Four Seasons, indeed, we have them here with noticable changes.

Veteran's Day 2012 - I have a very, very special guest, a 91-year old Pearl Harbor Survivor who went on to earn 16 more battle stars.  This American Veteran 'woke' up after a 500-pound Japanese bomb hit the USS Califonia decks above him, then the Signalman proceeded to tap S.O.S. onto several hatches, eventually locating a rescue team who pulled the concussioned sailors away from a oil filling com...

Tonight's episode on 'Crimminal Injustice - Who is really Brain Injured?" has been postponed, as has a 'certain' court date.  (if they can wait, I can wait.  Job handed me his book to read while I was in God's waiting room..      Depression takes a back seat this week; why strip others of their good nature?  So while we are waiting for yet another offering from a wronged system, and preparing for...
