Indian Lore & Tradition: Dream Catchers
Thought to possess big medicine, or magic linking the spirit of the infinite with the
temporal mind and deeds of men.
Some believe that the magic of a night vision is so pure that if a dreamer receives the true
dream and discerns it through the love of the Great Spirit, one single vision could change
the life and longings of the dreamer forever. However, as every dreamer knows, the night
air is filled with dreams of every imagining. Visions of mysteries and fantasies, fear, love,
greed, ecstasy and sometimes terror. Therefore, it is the hope of all dreamers to catch only
the dreams that bring everlasting joy.
Native American legends tell of a charm called a Dream Catcher and if dreamers, or loved
ones would hang it above a sleeping child, or in their lodge, it could capture dreams in its
magic web (much like a spider ensnares its prey). Good dreams, obeying the secret paths
of love, slip through the hole near the center of the web and drift gently and silently from
the soft feathered leather to the very heart of the dreamer. Bad dreams, choosing to ignore
or pervert the way of the Great Spirit, become forever trapped in the spider like web only
to perish with the light of the day.
Hopefully, through the love of the Great Spirit and the legends of the past, only your
fondest dreams find their way into your soul, heart, and deeds.

YES....IT'S REALLY FACT
Sam Wilson supplied the US troops stationed near Troy, New York, with
meat during the war of 1812. The meat was shipped to the soldiers
stamped, "U.S." for the United States of course.
One day, when a federal inspector was checking the meat at Wilson's
store, he was told by an employee that the US stood for Uncle
Sam--Wilson's nickname. It was not long before all federal supplies
were said to belong to Uncle Sam.
In the early 1960s, Congress proclaimed Sam Wilson the original Uncle
Sam.
- Who Lit The Fuse On Your Tampon?
Talk About Cute....
One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her
small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a
tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother
smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't, dear," She said. "I have to
sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky
little voice: "The big sissy."

North Carolina with views of the magnificent Great Smoky Mountains, winding rivers, and lakes.

Old Ghost Towns & Mines: Colorado
The collapsed remains of one cabin is all that remains of what
was once a thriving mining community and railroad town. The
photo shows Hancock as it used to be.
You can get to the Hancock site in a standard automobile, but it
is a long and bumpy trip! Turn left off of County Road 162
(just before you reach St. Elmo) onto County Road 295 and
drive until you reach the beautiful mountain meadow which was
once Hancock, Colorado.

WHEN BARNEY FIFE IS GOD: ROADSIDE EXECUTIONS AT OFFICER DISCRETION
By: Ron Marr
The world is run by bureaucrats and bean-counters. Those controlling your destiny may be found in both government
and the private sector. They may be Republican, Democrat, liberal or conservative. They may be white or black, gay
or straight, stone-cold sober or whacked on goofballs. They may speak in tongues, pierce their tongues or chew their
tongues.
The bureaucrats and bean counters are a diverse group, but they share three common traits.
First, they will screw with your life, involving themselves in your personal affairs and causing infinite grief.
Second, they will destroy your life, forcing you to endure tax audits, loan refusals, bad credit and even arrest.
Third, they will mess with and/or destroy your life simply because they can. Irritate a bureaucrat at your own risk.
Two recent events exemplify my point. Not only are bureaucrats in charge, they are rapidly expanding their
commitment toward absconding with your remaining liberties.
The Supreme Court of the United States recently decreed that traffic cops can arrest and incarcerate people stopped
for minor violations. In a ruling affecting 185 million drivers, the court voted 5-4 that a Texas policeman was justified
in handcuffing and imprisoning a woman for failing to wear her seat belt. The Justices who voted to grant Barney Fife
plenipotentiary powers worthy of a Nazi inquisitor were conservatives Anthony Kennedy, Chief Justice William
Rehnquist, Clarence Thomas, and Antonin Scalia. Joining this quartet, showing us once again that power brokers
care little of the ideological differences of left and right, was the "liberal" David Souter....MORE

Breathlessness During Pregnancy:
If you wonder why you're huffing and puffing in the later stages of
pregnancy, it's because the uterus begins pushing your diaphragm
toward your lungs. You can't do a lot about it except slow down.
Though you may fear that you're depriving your baby of oxygen, rest
assured that he is getting what he needs. Your respiratory system
adapts during pregnancy so your body can process oxygen more
efficiently.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
Real friends bring dinner:
Surviving the first few weeks with a newborn is a daunting task. One
of the best ways friends can help--and they will ask--is to bring by
dinner. Dinner can provide a civilized break, and some order, in a
newly chaotic world. One idea making the rounds in baby showers these
days is to form a post-partum dinner group. The host circulates a
sign-up sheet and guests mark an evening when they can bring dinner
by. Every little bit helps during a time when it's hard to distinguish
night from day.
NOTE! Always check with and follow the advice of your physician!!
