"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Fingerprinting Party with the Gulls










Dropped Tuki off at 7:00am, then took off for a 2 1/2 hour drive to Milwaukee to get my fingerprints done for USCIS. My true office is in Minnesota, but just like with Tuki's adoption I requested to have it done in Milwaukee because;
one: it is closer
two: I lived there for two years and I knew the town better.

I had an easy time finding it this time, I just looked and listened for the ring-billed gull party in the parking lot, and it is across from the MSOE school. As two years ago, the same nice elderly man let me park in the bank parking lot and the same nice guards in the building scanned me and my possessions. I also talked with a couple from Sheboygan who were there for their fingerprinting who are adopting their second child from Russia. The guy who checked me in said "good for you" when he realized I was there for an adoption fingerprints. The guy who did my fingerprints told me upon my asking that they do about 5000 fingerprints each day..I told him he must be a patient fellow.

I was there for one hour, then had lunch and headed back home. Arrived home at 1:00pm, took a long deep nap (it is amazing what a good nap will do for you), woke, went shopping for more cold meds for me and more benedryl for Tuki and then headed over to the daycare and picked her up.

What an exciting day!!!!!!!!!!!!! It worked for me..now here comes the MUCH needed rain, so no walk tonight, but that is ok, because we are still DRY!!!!!!!!
