WINTER PASTIMES

  I CAN'T HELP IT, I'VE ONLY HAD THIS COMPUTER FOR 2 YEARS AND I'M HAVING SOME FUN. THE OAK BOOKCASES I BUILT THIS WINTER TO REPLACE 2 CHEAP ONES WE HAD FOR 30 YEARS. THE OAK IS 1 INCH THICK WITH A FACE FRAME FRONT, SO, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WILL EVER SAG LIKE THE OLD BOOK CASES DID. THE OTHER PICTURES SHOW ONE OF ARLENE'S WINTER PASTIMES, BAKING.  THEN IN PREVIOUS WINTERS I BUILT A WALNUT CHINA HUTCH AND A WALNUT CABINET. A NICE RELAXING AND PEACEFUL WAY TO SPEND MY WINTER VACATION TIME. I'M TRYING TO FINISH A HALF DOZEN SMALL CLOCKS RIGHT NOW BEFORE I GO BACK TO WORK.

WINTER WOODWORKING

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF THE LAW WAS AS SIMPLE AS "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS"? OR THE TAX CODE AS EASY AS A SIMPLE PERCENTAGE?
      I GOT A RETURN CALL FROM THE "ACLU" THAT AGREES WITH EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DISCOVERED IN MY RESEARCH SO FAR, THAT IS, THAT I CAN PUBLISH THE COURT RECORD, TRANSCRIPTS AND OPINIONS ; LACKING ANYTHING SAYING OTHERWISE SUCH AS A COURT ORDER. THAT EASES MY MIND, BUT I'M GOING TO CONTINUE RESEARCH INTO THE MATTER.

LEGAL ISSUES

   I HAD TO STOP AND FINISH A COUPLE OF PROJECTS BEFORE I GO BACK TO WORK, AND I WILL BE GETTING TO THE POINT IN THE STORY WHERE THINGS WILL START TO GET LEGALLY COMPLICATED. WHAT I CAN OR CAN'T PUBLISH. SO, IF YOUR NOT SURE YOU TALK TO A LAWYER. SOMETIMES THAT MAKES IT MORE COMPLICATED AND THE NEED FOR RESEARCH.  AS A DIE-HARD, DO-IT-YOURSELF, TYPE PERSON I'M TAKING THE TIME TO DO THE RESEARCH MYSELF. THAT HAS A COUPLE OF ADVANTAGES - YOU CAN ASK BETTER QUESTIONS TO YOUR LAWYER AND YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF MONEY.
