From the
Editor
Well, I feel like we’re
diving into fall and winter head first.
We’ve had a good week trying to get some of the things done that have to
be done before we curl up for a quiet “winter’s sleep.” We have the yard well on the way with new
grass growing quite nicely and all the pansies in and the azaleas fertilized
for the winter. Our immediate work ahead
is getting the RV readied to put in storage for the winter. Headed to
We, probably like most of
you, worry when we are away over the security of our home and property. Fortunately, we have a neighbor that is very
good at caring for the house--but he certainly can’t see everything that goes
on when he’s not over here. Several
years ago after several break-ins near us, we did install an alarm system which
most certainly eases our minds when we are away, but have decided that we would
like to add some outside security cameras that we can access over our computer
or Smartphones while we’re away--just to take a look. The “security guy” is supposed to show up
next Tuesday to install the system. I
must admit I’m pretty excited over this.
I, probably more than
Carolyn, have really wanted to do some renovation in our Master Bath to add a
much larger shower, with a seat. This
urge came to the forefront when I started having issues with my left knee and
could not comfortably use the tub. Since
before surgery, I have been using an “old folks’ chair” and the shower in the
Guest Bath. This has worked quite well,
but would love to get back to the other bathroom. We do have a shower in the Master Bath, but
it is about the size of a phone booth and not comfortable to use. Unfortunately, we have received our initial
estimate for the renovation which was more than we had hoped for (what’s new?)
and need to talk to the contractor to see what we can do without to more nearly
meet our budget. Maybe rather than get
“half a loaf” we should just consider separate bathrooms--with me in the Guest
Bath. That certainly would better fall
in line with our budget.
Hoped to go shoot this
morning, but had probably better stay home until we get the paper together and
ready to put out since we’re going to be gone tomorrow. Maybe there will be time to fit in a little
shooting this afternoon. Hope you all
have a good week.

We have renewed the account that Wanda
Jackson had set up at the photo sharing website, picturetrail.com for the
Roosevelt Alumni: http://www.picturetrail.com/rooseveltalumni. She had posted many pictures from past
reunions, class panels, and old schools buildings along with write ups about
them. We thought you might find these
interesting if you haven’t visited this site in the past.

The “
Interesting
Tidbits
Human Mysteries
The Human Body is a treasure trove of mysteries, one that still confounds
doctors and scientists about the details of its working. It's not an overstatement to say that every
part of your body is a miracle.
1. It's possible for your body to
survive without a surprisingly large fraction of its internal
organs. Even if you lose your stomach, your spleen, 75% of your
liver, 80% of your intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ
from your pelvic and groin area, you wouldn't be very healthy, but you would
live.
2. During your lifetime, you will
produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools. Actually, Saliva is more important than you
realize. If your saliva cannot dissolve
something, you cannot taste it.
3. The largest cell in the human body is
the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm. The egg is actually the only cell in the body
that is visible by the naked eye.
4. The strongest muscle in the human
body is the tongue and the hardest bone is the jawbone.
5. Human feet have 52 bones, accounting
for one quarter of all the human body's bones.
6. Feet have 500,000 sweat glands and
can produce more than a pint of sweat a day.
7. The acid in your stomach is strong
enough to dissolve razor blades. The
reason it doesn't eat away at your stomach is that the cells of your stomach
wall renew themselves so frequently that you get a new stomach lining every
three to four days.
8. The human lungs contain approximately
2,400 kilometers (1,500 mi) of airways and 300 to 500 million hollow cavities,
having a total surface area of about 70 square meters, roughly the same
area as one side of a tennis court.
Furthermore, if all of the capillaries that surround the lung cavities
were unwound and laid end to end, they would extend for about 992
kilometers. Also, your left lung is
smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart.
9. Sneezes regularly exceed 100 mph,
while coughs clock in at about 60 mph.
10. Your body gives off enough heat in
30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil.
11. Your body has enough iron in it to
make a nail 3 inches long.
12. Earwax production is necessary for
good ear health. It protects the delicate inner ear from bacteria,
fungus, dirt and even insects. It also
cleans and lubricates the ear canal.
13. Everyone has a unique smell, except
for identical twins, who smell the same.
14. Your teeth start growing 6 months
before you are born. This is why one out
of every 2,000 newborn infants has a tooth when they are born.
15. A baby's head is one-quarter of its
total length, but by the age of 25 will only be one-eighth of its total
length. This is because people's heads
grow at a much slower rate than the rest of their bodies.
16. Babies are born with 300 bones, but
by adulthood the number is reduced to 206.
Some of the bones, like skull bones, get fused into each other, bringing
down the total number.
17. It's not possible to tickle
yourself. This is because when you
attempt to tickle yourself you are totally aware of the exact time and manner
in which the tickling will occur, unlike when someone else tickles you.
18. Less than one third of the human
race has 20-20 vision. This means that
two out of three people cannot see perfectly.
19. Your nose can remember 50,000
different scents. But if you are a
woman, you are a better smeller than men, and will remain a better smeller
throughout your life.
20. The human body is estimated to have
60,000 miles of blood vessels.
21. The three things pregnant women
dream most of during their first trimester are frogs, worms and potted
plants. Scientists have no idea why this
is so, but attribute it to the growing imbalance of hormones in the body during
pregnancy.
22. The life span of a human hair is 3
to 7 years on average. Every day the
average person loses 60-100 strands of hair.
But don't worry, you must lose over 50% of your scalp hairs before it is
apparent to anyone.
23. The human brain cell can hold 5
times as much information as an encyclopedia.
Your brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream, and is
itself made up of 80% water. Though it
interprets pain signals from the rest of the body, the brain itself cannot feel
pain.
24. The tooth is the only part of the
human body that can't repair itself.
25. Your eyes are always the same size
from birth but your nose and ears never stop growing.
26. By 60 years of age, 60% of men and
40% of women will snore.
27. We are about 1 cm taller in the
morning than in the evening, because during normal activities during the day,
the cartilage in our knees and other areas slowly compress.
28. The brain operates on the same
amount of power as 10-watt light bulb, even while you are sleeping. In fact, the brain is much more active at
night than during the day.
29. Nerve impulses to and from the brain
travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.
Neurons continue to grow throughout human life. Information travels at different speeds
within different types of neurons.
30. It is a fact that people who dream
more often and more vividly on an average have a higher Intelligence Quotient.
31. The fastest growing nail is on the
middle finger.
32. Facial hair grows faster than any
other hair on the body. This is true for
men as well as women.
33. There are as many hairs per square
inch on your body as a chimpanzee.
34. A human fetus acquires fingerprints
at the age of three months.
35. By the age of 60, most people will have
lost about half their taste buds.
36. About 32 million bacteria call every
inch of your skin home. But don't worry,
a majority of these are harmless or even helpful bacteria.
37. The colder the room you sleep in,
the higher the chances are that you'll have a bad dream.
38. Human lips have a reddish color
because of the great concentration of tiny capillaries just below the skin.
39. Three hundred million cells die in
the human body every minute.
40. Like fingerprints, every individual
has an unique tongue print that can be used for identification.
41. A human head remains conscious for
about 15 to 20 seconds after it has been decapitated.
42. It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43
to frown.
43. Humans can make do longer without
food than sleep. Provided there is
water, the average human could survive a month to two months without food
depending on their body fat and other factors. Sleep deprived people,
however, start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after
only a few sleepless days. The longest
recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days, at the end of
which the experimenter was awake, but stumbled over words, hallucinated and
frequently forgot what he was doing.
44. The most common blood type in the
world is Type O. The rarest blood type,
A-H or
45. Every human spent about half an hour
after being conceived, as a single cell.
Shortly afterward, the cells begin rapidly dividing and begin forming
the components of a tiny embryo.
46. Right-handed people live, on
average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.
47. Your ears secrete more earwax when
you are afraid than when you aren't.
48. Koalas and primates are the only
animals with unique fingerprints.
49. Humans are the only animals to
produce emotional tears.
50. The human heart creates enough
pressure to squirt blood 30 feet in the air.

Humor
Colonoscopy
All
the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one
in charge.
"I should be in charge," said the brain, "Because I run all the
body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the blood, "Because I circulate
oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach," Because I process
food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the
body wherever it needs to go."
"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the
body to see where it goes."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm
responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him. So in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible
headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery,
and the blood was toxic. They all
decided that the rectum should be the boss.
The Moral of the story? Even though the others do all the work...The ass
hole is usually in charge.

The sad thing about your commentary on the government as the Republicans and Tea Party see it is they actually believe they are right. I as a Democrat hope the Republican Party can stay afloat, as I believe in the two party system.

Whatever
your political affiliation, this is important.
Everyone should listen and think about what is being said. Take time to listen to the end. No ranting, raving or name calling. Just enlightens one about how things work.
