Good Morning Americans !!! Another Very Cold Snowy Morning in Idaho Today. We Got Probably another 3" overnight and most of the schools in the Valley are closed Today. I have had a darn cold the last few days so I have been moving a little slow on the Vag. I did get the front room floor scrubbed and ready. Not a lot to report so far this week with all this darn snow everything is in slow motion. I really would like to huddle down in front of the fire with some good books and just hibernate until spring.

Eustace Conway
I don't know how many people here know about Eustace Conway and "Turtle Island Preserve." He has been featured in the History Channel show "Mountain Men." "Turtle Island Preserve" is a non-profit education center in the mountains of western N.C.
It seems the local government feels it would get a larger tax benefit by shutting "Turtle Island" down and allowing developers in.
The opening salvos in their war came with a raid by a dozen government agencies. All there for the purpose of building "code enforcement."
This happened on Sept. 19th. He has had to close "Turtle Island" and 'lawyer up."
He needs help now. Who is Eustace Conway and why is he a threat?

Folks… This one’s important. Please take the time to read this in its entirety, and if you’re so inclined to take action below. Trey & Coley
Government should serve the people. Unfortunately, over time the nature of government is to grow beyond its usefulness. It becomes unhealthy and obese.
When our country was formed it was based on awesome ideals. The flag and the national anthem represented those ideals. So far so good. But over time those ideals slip further and further away until all we are left with is a song, a flag and a government that has lost touch with its fundamental purpose.
As government continuously increases it’s control over every aspect of our lives we lose more and more of our freedoms.
What threatens the growth of government?
Is it the fiscal cliff we are hearing about in the news? Is it the citizen anger over government bailouts? Is it the loss of faith in central planning? How about the debasement of our currency? How about the growing concern over the government trampling our civil liberties? Is it Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street protests?
No.
When we’re angry we’re still engaged… We still show up to vote for this candidate or that candidate and expect them to right the ship.
The real threat to government is when it is ignored. When we turn our backs on it and demonstrate that we no longer need it.
Like an incorrigible narcissist, government demands our attention. When citizens no longer feel the need to bow in adoration, fear, or submission, government takes great offense.
But what if that wasn’t the case? What if we learned how to take care of ourselves? To become more self-reliant? More resilient?
What if we didn’t need government deciding everything for us?
For government at all levels such thoughts are hugely threatening and when such subversive thinking surfaces government can be swift to react.

Things are moving at a turtles pace right now.The weather has been extremely cold the last week and Ol' Red has been in town since before Christmas and has been hanging out a lot. So with that and working on paying some things off I have been pretty busy.We have a couple of pieces of property to go look at but we know if it is this cold down here it is going to be Very Cold up there.We are hoping to get up there in the next few days.They are saying by Sunday we should get above freezing so that will feel like spring time for a change.When we go up we would like to do a little fishing and maybe some hot spring'in.We have been out of fish for a couple weeks now and That is serious Business.
