With the Earthquake in Haiti still fresh in our minds we should remember where we live. California earthquake country. Are you PREPARED? Where will you be when disaster strikes?
At Work...At School...At Home....
Families can and do cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility. Do you have emergency supplies? Have you created a disaster plan? If you have to go to a emergency shelter have you a plan for your four legged family members?
Emercency Supplies:
1. Three day supply of water (1 gallon per person a day) and food that wont spoil.
2. First Aid Kit
3.Special Items for infants and the elderly
4. Flashlite / batteries
5.Cash
These are just a few items. Think if you had to leave your home because it was destroyed or you could not live in it. What items would you need? Water, food, clothing, medications, glasses.
In the next day or two I am going to do a video blog and show you our emergency kits for the home and car.
Stuff happens. So remember the Boy Scout Motto BE PREPARED

LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Betty White
Really do we care???
When I was in Jr high and High school I could not get enough of television shows and movies. I loved everything about them the actors and actresses, Hollywood, the glitz the glamor the award shows, the talk shows. Merv Griffin, Dinah Shore, Johnny Carson, the Late Show the late, late show. I was a Hollywood show biz junkie. I knew more about the people and places of make believe than I did about the real world, geography, history, math.I could recite the T.V guide I knew what shows came on at what times who was in the shows, and tell you about their personal lives thank you National Enquire, The Globe and T.V. talk shows. Could I tell you where all the states and capitals were on a map? Not even close, mabey I should have been a Hollywood reporter. But that was a time when stars were stars and had class and if they didnt we didnt hear about it.Can you imagine if John Kennedy was president now? We would know everything about his ways with other woman. There would be pictures and videos and trips to rehab. Would he be thougth of the same way?
Personally I feel TV has turned into a giant poop hole. Do we really care about all the stuff that is happining to the so call stars of today? Come on.. Snooki from Jersey Shore, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Levi Johnston, John Edwards, Tiger Woods, Conan and Jay. Watching the news its not news, and the people giving the news really? Do they go to school to learn how to ask some of the dumbest questions? News reporter standing in front of burned home asking home owner how do you feel right now? Never better I just lost all my belongings and my dog that I had for 12 years...How the hell do you think I feel? But back to the other people Do we really care that Heidi Montag a pretty 23 year old girl decides to have not 1 but 10 plastic surgeries? Honey what were you thinking you face looks like it's plastic and your chest,well if you want to be a street walker it works. You cant act you are not going to come up with a cure for cancer Why are you on every channel with the bum Spencer Pratt.. I dont get it. Levi Johnson you got a young girl pregnant possed for playgirl and every talk show and news wants to talk about you..What??? Tiger Woods and John Edwards ok one is a great golfer and the other a Politician but wait both are male whores that had a wife and kids and money and fame. And now we have to hear about them and what they have done over and over. Do we really care??? I dont..Go away do something good for your community, your family, the world then lets hear about you. I dont want to hear about how many women you did how many kids out of wedlock you have. Tho Tiger hearing that your wife took a 9 iron to your head is preety funny..
What a sad commentary on our lives. Our country is in a depression. People are losing their homes, jobs, families and we care more about these idiots than whats going on in our back yards. Haiti has a 7.0 earthquake with upwords of 200,000 people dead and the shows are asking who is the worst of the two Tiger for cheating with 12 or more women or John Edwards who cheated on his wife who has cancer or That Jay Leno is knocking Conan OBrian out of the tonight show...Really do we care???
Well enough ranting from me I need to check to see if the stars got lots of money pledges for Haiti for the Haiti telethon.. Hey George Cloney are you going to have a star telethon for America???

AVATAR
I might be the only person who has waited this long to see this movie.My wife and I went this afternoon since its cold and rainy here in California. James Cameron deserves every award and cudos that he gets for this movie. The best movie I have seen in 3D. The only bad thing I can say about this movie is the bad guys. This movie visually was fantastic. When they say its like you are there that is exactlly how I felt. Avatar does what a movie is suppose to do take you someplace that you feel connected visually, mentally,physically. Usally I am like a little kid wiggling after the first few minutes.This movie had me in a trance. Mr. Cameron you had me a few years back believing that I was there when the Titanic set sail and sank and now you have me running in the trees of Pandora and sitting on the back of one those huge bird like creatures flying thru the air in the spactuclar forrest. If you have not seen this movie dont wait for it to come out on DVD get out there and have the theatrical experience. Mr. Cameron I think you might have a Oscar knocking on your door.

Where have I been?
Wow I cannot believe it has been this long since I last blogged. I wish I could say I was on vacation or spending my millions I won from the lotto. In reality I have been lazy and not blogging. With the tide of Christmas and all that goes with that season and working with my buyers trying to get them into homes and being lazy the time has flown by. I cannot believe we are already in the middle of January 2010.
Things that have happened this month:
I can go 3.2 miles at 5.0 on the tredmill.
Our daughter went to Gerogia to work on disaster relief from flooding last year.
Tiger Woods made news by being a Cheeta
Top Movies: Blindside, Precious, Avitar
My 19 year old son got a job with the school district (and is currently making more money than me)
I switched offices: Century 21 Yarrow to Century 21 Doug Anderson
Banks still making it hard for buyers to get into homes
The kids got us a new kitten. Her name is Pumkin should be Scaredy Cat.
Haiti was hit by a 7.0 Earthquake( 50,000-100,000 people feared dead.)
Just a random thought why does it take a major disaster to make the world come together.
United States giving $100 million in aide to Haiti
China $1 million hmmm arnt they one of the riches countries right now?
Untill next time:may peace be with you
