It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

As the Christmas season quickly approaches, so has the snow in the Northeast. This past weekend they have really been shown a good example of early, heavy snowfalls as most areas received around one foot of snow. Flights were cancelled and many area residents were stuck inside their homes due to bad road conditions and cold temperatures. Over 10,000 tons of road salt and 2,000 vehicles were out to try to clear roads but many workers found themselves working long hours to keep up with the heavy accumulations. From the Northeast the snow moved to the Midwest where we saw snow but not quite as much as those to the North. Along with this came shipment delays with mail. All in all we need to bundle up and bundle up for what looks to be a cold and snowy holiday season.

Palin Back On Air

You previously may have heard the name due to her tv show Sarah Palin's Alaska, but recently news has spread that she will be re-joining the network with a new show. "Amazing America with Sarah Palin" will air in April on the outdoor channel. This show will be highlighting women in the outdoors and their potential successes. It also is going to be used as a way to inspire others to get outside and enjoy all they have been given. I am interested to see how the turnout will be in the end personally since I am interested in the outdoors as well.

Paying To Not Have Money?

Being homeless isn't exactly the thing to be most proud of, but according to this gentleman it is a way to have some sort of cash flow. Currently living in Seattle and homeless himself, Mike Momany plans to have a "crash course" in order to have people experience his ways of living. Previously he worked as a contract programmer but sooner than later the company went broke due to slow business and he was left in the gutter...literally. Although nobody has signed up quite yet he hopes his plan will work not only for him but for many other people not as privileged as well. It is estimated to be around $2,000.00 per customer with about $500 of each paying customer's dollars going to local shelters to provide them with clothes necessary and to give back. He hopes it will be a learning more awakening experience for the public.
