Attack in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.


These are pictures of an actual polar bear attack in Churchill.


These pictures were taken while people watched and could do nothing to stop the attack!


Reports from the local newspaper say that the victim will make a full recovery.



The photo's are below and very graphic..

Gun Control
Barack Obama at a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to
slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ''Well, dumbass, stop clapping!'

Picture from my trip to New York City & Philadelpha!


Flying to New York City!!


This plane was in a holding pattern with us when we were trying to land in LaGuardia. We circled the state of New York for about a half hour!


Times Square!! Well...a very small portion of it!


Paul McCartney's guitar in the Hard Rock Cafe New York.


Billy Joel's motorcycle at the HRC


The view looking down from our hotel room.


Rockefeller Center on a rainy night. You couldn't even see the top this night because it was in the clouds!


Ann Curry & Matt Lauer!!


Matt & I at the Today Show!


Me & Matt Lauer's cardboard alter-ego!


Facing south from the top of Rockefeller Center. The tall building is the Empire State Building!


Matt & I at the top of Rockefeller Center


New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.


A piece of skyline from Central Park.


Don't let this fool you...It's not a statue but a REAL PERSON!!


A girl's favorite store...TIFFANY'S!! I didn't go in... :(


St. Patrick's Cathedral


The Winter Garden Theatre where we saw Mamma Mia!


Matt & I waiting to go inside the theatre.


Times Square at night! If you look closely near the top of the billboards in the middle you can see the ball that drops on New Year's Eve!


Matt & I walking around Times Square.


A steel beam from the World Trade Centers.


This is where the Towers stood...


This was the sculpture that was in the Plaza of the Twin Towers. It got pretty beat up when the Towers fell. It is now in Battery Park.


A smart pigeon warming itself by the eternal flame in front of the above sculpture.


Lady Liberty! It was VERY foggy & cloudy that day so we didn't even want to go to the top.


Walking on the Brooklyn Bridge!


The cars below us on the Brooklyn Bridge. This is probably my favorite picture of all the pictures I took on the trip.


The Philadelphia 76ers at the Wachovia Center!


A soldier's hut from the American Revolution.


More huts!


Inside a hut. They each housed 12 soldiers.


The Liberty Bell!


Independence Hall!!


That is the ACTUAL chair that George Washington sat in when they were framing the Constitution!


Benjamin Franklin's grave.


Matt's cousin's dog, Max. He is a deer-type Chihuahua! I want one!

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet!

I am watching one of my all-time favorite movies, Easter Parade with Judy Garland & Fred Astaire! I watch it every Easter (along with other random times throughout the year!). This year, though, it has a more special meaning because I have walked down the famous 5th Avenue where the Easter parade happened! And the whole time I was walking down it, I was singing Easter Parade in my head! Oh, and just another related random fact about myself...I am a HUGE fan of Judy Garland!! I think she is absolutely wonderful! Sometimes I wish I were about 50 years older than I am just so I could have been alive at the height of her career!
P.S. Janell-Janell, my next blog will be about my trip!
