I am a real curious bee! I am more of a thinker and as a writer my work makes me think even more. I write about anything that I find fascinating, but mostly nature and wild life.

I have found a new perspective on life.
I am choosing to live how I want.
I am honest.
I say what I know to be true and most people do not like it. 
I am learning to find happiness in its true form.
And I hope, one day, that this will change my life for the better.
Believe and say what you want, but this is who i really am.
Though, you should try to get to know me a little better first
More later.

Safe Behavior

• Never walk on ice less than four inches thick. Don't snowmobile on less than five inches or drive your car on less than eight inches of new, clear ice.
• Warn your children to stay away from ice-covered ponds and streams.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages, especially when snowmobiling. Alcohol causes the body to lose heat more rapidly, even though one may feel warmer after drinking alcoholic beverages.
• Avoid overexertion. Cold weather even without physical exertion, puts an extra strain on the heart. If you add to this the strain of heavy physical activity, such as shoveling snow, pushing an automobile or even walking too fast or too far, you risk damaging your body.
• Watch for FROSTBITE and other symptoms of cold-weather exposure. Frostbite causes loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, tip of nose and ear lobes. If such symptoms are detected, get medical attention immediately. Do not rub with snow or ice. This does not help the condition and, in fact, will make it worse. The best treatment for frostbite is re-warming the affected tissue.
• Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration can be a severe problem.
• Keep yourself and your clothes dry. Change wet socks and all other wet clothing as quickly as possible to prevent loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses its insulation value and transmits heat rapidly.
• If paralyzed persons or infants must go outside in severe weather, they should be checked frequently for signs of frostbite.
• Stay indoors, if you can help it.
• Keep your vehicle well prepared for emergencies, which would include: warm blanket/clothes/shoes, good directions, mini-spade, snow chains, full tank of gas, anti-freeze in all fluids, flash light, warning signs/flares, etc.
• If in doubt, don't do it.  

Winter Attire

• Dress warmly in loose-fitting, layered, lightweight clothing. Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent and natural wool, if possible.
• Wear a hat. More than half of body heat is lost through the top of the head.
• Wear mittens that are snug at the wrist. Mittens offer better protection than, gloves which allow your fingers to cool much faster.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a scarf to help protect lungs from cold air.
• Attempt to keep your feet as dry as possible. Wear wool socks.

Nothing to announce yet. But I have started writing a short story about two mis-guided politicians who meet up with the opposite side of their political spectrum. It is about a journey of discovery of their opposite.....!
