Yes – the recent mine collapse in Utah is a bad thing.  We all may not like China – but what about the mine troubles there?  If you do a Google news search on just ‘mine collapse‘ and look at the first page you might not know that there are nearly 200 Chinese coal miners trapped by flooding over in China.  What you will read about is still a tragedy – the 6 trapped men, and the three that where killed in a rescue operation here in Utah.

I am not trying to minimize what has happened, really – I am frustrated that the events in China don’t bear more news – regardless of distance.

This is just a test…

If this had been a real post – actual content would have been presented.  As it is I am just playing with an offline composer.

Best Friends

DSCF0024 Well, the trip to the sanctuary was nothing short of awesome. The weather was fantastic and the scenery wasnt to shabby either. It truly is an amazing place. HUGE (3,000 acres) and the animals there are SO well cared for.

The monthly blessing was very special. I cried a lot. During the moment of silence, the wind chimes stopped at it truly was silent. It was amazing.

I dreamt about Wubby for the first time since she died, that night. It was sweet, I picked her up and put her over my shoulder just like we used to do, and she purred and purred. I took this to mean that she is in fact happy and she’s ok. But why can’t I stop crying for her?? I know it’s going to take a long, long time before this pain goes away. I can’t stop thinking about her and how much we adored eachother. I will never find another like her. I love the other girls too, but with Wubby it was different. Like I said, we adored eachother. I don’t even think I took it this hard when Ginger passed away in 2002. She was my girl for 17 years, and it was easier to say goodbye to her.

I’m confused and want to know why this had to happen to her. I know, like Drew has so sweetly explained to me, that the brightest burn out the fastest. I don’t want her to be gone. I want to hold , hear, smell and feel her so badly.

Saying farewell…

This weekend, Drew and I will be venturing to Kanab, Utah to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. 

 Trinity’s passing was is so emotional for us, I couldnt handle having her ashes around to add to the situation. We decided that her body would be part of a mass cremation and the ashes would be taken to ‘Angels Rest’ at the sanctuary.  We have been members for years and thought it was a fitting location for our angel to rest.  They have a monthly blessing at the cemetary.  We are going to go for the blessing and spend the night. 

I know this is going to be VERY emotionally difficult for me.  It’s been hard enough for me to live day-to-day without my Wubby around.  It’s getting better… but life just isnt the same without her sparkle around.  Maybe… just maybe, this trip will give us some peace in our hearts that she really is in a far better place.  We’ll be leaving a beautiful Swarovsky angel that is engraved with her name and the date she died.  I’m hoping (but not expecting) to come home with a huge weight lifted from my body, Wubby having told me she’s so happy where she is, and though she misses us as much as we miss her, she is where she wants to be. Running around in the grass and playing with all her new friends.  This is what I hope…

The Russian Who Saved The World

Just read the story of one Colonel Stanislav Yefgrafovich Petrov, who last night in 1983, saved us all from a very different world. An extract of that story:

Anyway, at 40 minutes past midnight on the 26th Petrov looked up and saw a missile launch from a United States silo had been detected by one of his satellites. Now you might expect panic at this point but missile command tends to attract the serious, sober type, probably the type of people who smoke a pipe and sew leather patches on their jackets, and Petrov kept his head.

On May 21, 2004 he was awarded the World Citizen Award by the Association of World Citizens. Their extended story here.

For some this might be scary – the result would have been nothing short of disaster. To keep you up at night here is a list of other close calls, on which Petrov’s experience doesn’t appear.

While it seems there should be much t’ say I’ve just not got it right now.

Instead I’ll just drop a note t’ remind ye all that it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Enjoy!
