Winter Officially Arrives

Submitted by ub on

Prepare for a significant winter storm which is expected to bring heavy snow and dangerous blizzard conditions to portions of the northern Plains through Tuesday.

Snowfall amounts could reach up to one foot. Strong winds and very cold temperatures will also yield sub-zero wind chill factors and frigid readings caused by blowing snow. Reduced visibility could result in severe travel difficulties.

HAPPY REAL NEWS YEAR

GRANDCHILDREN

Most parents would agree that having a kind, intelligent, successful and healthy child is a fabulous feeling, but grandkids are truly a blessing beyond any choice of words.

For me, there's a special bond with my grandkids. Our relationship is based on love, fun, appreciation, and pure joy. Personally, I enjoy giving them small gifts that I would have liked when I was their age.

These are my five grandkids, who rock my world. In order from older to younger, they are Elena, Chloe, Sophia, Parker, and Olivia. Four intelligent gorgeous gals and one smart and handsome little guy.

US Happiness Declines

Submitted by ub on

Over the years, humans across languages and cultures have consistently chosen more positive words than negative ones. However, the use of positive language appears to be in decline and some fear that it may be falling fast.

As the death toll continues to rise, the aftermath of an Oakland California warehouse blaze has bee turned into a criminal investigation. The so-called Ghost Ship was allegedly being used as an illegal living space.

At least 33 bodies have been identified following a dance party, but neighbors had long complained of trash piling up and that people were living there illegally.

Trump Trouble Ahead

Submitted by ub on

The president-elect breaks US precedent. Donald Trump is showing that he may not be strategic and his behavior has indicated to The US and the world that he acts like a bull in a China shop by his conversation with Taiwan. Words become weapons as he continues his constant contradictions that have his supporters as well as the rest of the world in a state of shock.

Furthermore, he has made time for many controversial activities, but not to address the press.
