Canadian Maple Smelling Money



In 2011 new money was released in Canada.  People believe it to smell like maple syrup.  They think it smells good.  I think this is awesome.  Macklemore should right a song about it.  I think this is cool.  Kay still loves noah, not matter WHAT she says.

Current Event #8

After a Decade, three missing girls from Cleveland are found

Castro_Bros_mug.jpg

Ten years ago three girls, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight went missing.  All three were reported as runaways because no abduction was witnessed.  All have been assumed dead ever since.  However, on Monday night, they were rescued.  Ramsey, a nearby neighbor, heard screaming and kicking while he was eating dinner, and when we went to investigate found Berry trying to escape.  He helped her out and she then proceeded to call the police.  At first the police were skeptical, but they eventually were persuaded and the came to the rescue of the three women.  Along with the women was a six year old child of Berry's.  All have been hospitalized and are now physically well.  Their families and friends are all excited and shocked that after ten years their loved ones have shown up alive.
I am so shocked that after ten years, all three of these women have been found alive.  It is awful that they were kept captive for ten years in a well populated area, and yet no neighbors ever thought anything suspicious or felt the need to investigate.  It is truly a miracle that they are all now safe and healthy and with their families once more.

Current Event #7

 
World Record Carp Caught Twice in the Same Week by Two Different Men

When Colin Smith (above left) caught a record breaking Carp (weighing in at about 100lb 8 ou) he though he had seen the last of it when he released it.  However, less then a week later, John Thorpe (above right) caught the same fish. This took place in France, where the World Record at the moment is 75 lb 11 ou.  However, once the board approves it, this fish will break the record.  How do they know it is the same fish?  It is a private small lake, where all the fishers pretty much know the population of the lake, so when this fish was caught, they knew they had caught the same fish.  In fact, records show this same fish had been caught several times over the past years, weighing less however, since it was younger.  It is likely that it should pop up again before it dies.
 
I think that this is really funny, and an extreme coincidence.  That fish looks really fat, which I don't get since it should get plenty of exercise swimming for a living, but oh well.  I wonder if it ever will show up again before it passes away, if so I certainly want to hear about it.

The theme this week was spirituality in three related images.  And so I bring to you, my works of art.  At my church we have a nice little rosary garden which is quite quaint and peaceful.  So I journeyed there and when I arrived it was near sunset, so the lighting is just perfect in some of these.  As I was wandering around, wondering about times long past, I put a lot of effort into making sure this pictures were perfect in everyway.  Though they are not of the same thing, they are all related.  First off, they are all spiritual.  Second, they all depict people whom you would see in Heaven, an angel and Jesus.  Personally, I feel that each of these were a success and I thoroughly enjoyed taking these on the mindless trip I made, that afternoon long ago....
