The Great Ohio Blizzard of '08
We just got about 12 inches of snow here in South West Ohio. This is near record breaking. Columbus got over 20 inches which broke the 98 year old record of 15 inches. I did run into town and the roads were not that bad, other than my street which I got stuck in. But this comes from me having learned to drive up in Michigan. Enjoy the picture of the snow as we dig out. I also included a few ones of Lily.

Plenty of Snow Days in Xenia
I woke up to maybe an inch of new white fluffy snow on ground. It turned out to be yet another snow day for Xenia schools and yet another Wednesday without Awana. Having grown up in Michigan in laugh at nearly every snow day here in Ohio. I wonder if it is the location or paranoia inflation? Incidentally, I sold our truck last Friday. Danielle and I are down to just our faithful Saturn. 143K miles and going strong. We will be on the look out for a minivan or wagon type vehicle. For now I'm car pooling to work after a mile walk or bike ride or drive.
What is going on with the Economy?
It looks very much like we are going to see 70's style stagflation soon and perhaps even worse. What is exceedingly frustrating is that we have not been able to learn from our past mistakes.
For the sake a brevity here is what is going on in America. We as a county and individuals are borrowed way beyond what is prudent and what we can repay. Our Federal Reserve refuses to correctly address the problem and we are heading into a full scale inflationary period with high unemployment. What we must understand is that the because of low interest rates the Fed sets, more people borrowed money. Every time we borrow money form the bank, the bank gets to create most of that borrowed money out of thin air. The more money that gets created out of thin air the more price rise. I'm sure you all feel this what trying to budget grocery and gas money. What is really happening is that our dollar is becoming worth less and less. The price of oil has not increased compared to gold. What the Fed does when it lowers interest rates is the *anti*-Robin Hood. That is steeling money from the poor and middle class through inflation to give money through low interest loans to Wall Street. Seniors with CD's are going to see their interest rates drop and at the same time they see their medical bills skyrocket. The middle class is going to see the yearly raises grow less than the cost of living. We are approaching a crisis situation in America, they few of us understand. Ron Paul addressed the Fed today. Listen to what he has to say. What we must realize is that government cannot outsmart to market, we will have to pay for our debts.

Total Lunar Eclipse
I saw my first Total Lunar Eclipse tonight in the bitter cold temps in the single digits. The sky was cloudless and the stars were in their full beauty.
