That's my family!!!

 

Happy Birthday to Shania Twain who turns 48 years young today.

 

Oh my!!!

 

"Did you catch that?"  What a play!!!

Terri Pearsons, the daughter of prominent televangelist Kenneth Copeland, and the leader of Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, has long warned followers to stay away from vaccines, promoting the idea that they cause autism. The un-vaccinated congregation was recently put in danger when a member left the country and came in contact with measles. They then returned to Texas, where they interacted with the congregation, as well as handled children in the church’s on-site day-care center.

Nine children and six adults have been infected with the disease, twelve of whom were not fully vaccinated. All of the school-aged children infected were home-schooled, and didn’t have to get the immunization shots needed to enter public schools. Infected people will spread the disease to 90% of the people they come in contact with.

"This is a classic example of how measles is being reintroduced," William Schaffner, a professor and infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville told USA Today, citing examples where fears of vaccines causing autism have led to measles outbreaks. "This is a sadly misinformed religious leader."

Following the outbreak, Pearsons has called on all congregants to become vaccinated.
"Our children and even adults of all ages need to be immunized now to stop the spread of measles and prevent those potential complications," She said. "The disease is only shut down when all are immunized."

Me: But you know what?  They won't be asked to step down from the pulpit.  They won't suffer any sanctions or penalties.  Another clash of religion vs science, and science takes the win. 

 

These two go hand in hand, especially at my house.  LOL

 

Wouldn't you just love to do that now and again??  Some people don't realize just how distracted they are, weaving in and out of their lanes, slowing down in traffic etc.  Like drunks. 

 

Yup.  Just ask my wife.  Sean Connery turned 83 years old yesterday.

Remember Don Johnson and Miami Vice?  Here is Phil Collins singing "In the Air Tonight" on an episode of Miami Vice.  Phil Collins also acted in several episodes.

Some pretty pictures and great harmonica music.  Put in your earphones and hit "full screen." 

Ethan had his first football game today. His team won 12-6. Dad says Ethan had two tackles and two sacks.  Those shoulder pads sure make him look bigger and older. Good job Ethan!!!
 

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Barbara Jean Morehead, aka Barbara Eden of "I Dream of Jeannie" fame who turns 82 years young today.

 

"They kicked me off the island - again."

 

This is me in the morning!!!

That's Corey!!!

Happy Birthday wishes go out to President Bill Clinton who turns 67 years old today. Have we seen the last of the Clintons or will Bill be the "First Man" in the White House in 2016? 

We are evolving!!!

Yes sirree.  We are evolving.  By we, I mean law enforcement.  Once one the most homophobic professions of all, please congratulate Minneapolis Police Chief, Janee Harteua, and her bride, Holly Keegel.  Ms. Keegel, Chief Harteau's partner of 25 years, is a sergeant on MPD.  There is hope for this world!!! 

 

Where have I heard this before???
