International News » Burning of Jordanian Pilot » 2/03/2015 12:55 pm |
Well, today we hear reports that ISIS has burned alive the captured Jordanian Pilot. Last week another beheading of the Japanese journalist. I say enough is enough. It is high time to destroy everyone of this dangerous treacherous stinking cancer! I cannot believe that our intelligence is so bad that we have no idea where these people (sorry animals) are. Surely our intelligence shows where many of these festering cancerous scumbags are. It is time to destroy them. It is wrong to stand idly by and allow them to continue.

Still have not seen the eagle, but yesterday I saw its prey in the nest. The animal was flayed open -- I could not tell what it was -- perhaps it was one of the squirrels who were stealing the bedding inside the nest.

Perhaps a "Humor in Real Life" would be neat -- similar to the Reader's Digest "Humor In Uniform" and "Humor On the Job" type section where contributors would share humorous situations in the course of their everyday life.

Has the appeal been heard and judged? I have often heard those who favor this turn over of the York City School District to a private for-profit Charter School Company compare this to the take over of the Harrisburg School District several years ago but I don't think a private for-profitt Caharter School Company was involved with the Harrisburg situation. Can anyone fill us in on how the take over was handled in Harrisburg and if the school district was eventually returned to local school board control?

I hope you get to see something JimmyBear. I took a peek this morning and an Eagle was in the nest. The wind was ruffling it's feathers and it looked magnificent. Then it reach down and starting tearing up something and eating it. Bleeeeeeeeck.......
I have been watching this morning. Yesterday and last night I could not get access to the site. I didn't see the eagle yet, but this morning I saw three squirrels messing around in the eagle's nest and stealing the soft hay or grass bedding. They wiould stuff their mouths with the hay and leave -- probably padding or insulating their own nests in preparation for the cold night ahead. They better be careful or they will be food for the eagle -- although not their faborite food which I believe is fish.

I have seen talk on the Old Eschange about inviting Joan. Hey guys, while I am honored with the name of JimmyBear on the York History and Memories section, I would be much more honored if we gave that distinction to Joan --Please. She deserves it with all her hard work on the Old Exchange and all her work on the YDR Blog Website devoted to York County Memories and History.

I was walking down a street and I was stunned to see this.
Who are these guys?
Take a few guesses, then I will get back to you with the story.
Looks like Ku Klux Klan people but that would probably be too obvious -- especially since you said you saw these guys while walking down the street.

South of Columbia. Right now it is 5.5 miles long, so a round trip is 11 miles. But, it is one of the best and most scenic bike paths I've ever ridden. Complete with a few picnic tables , lookout places, and porta potties.
Yes, I am familiar with the one south of Columbia. I am also the told that the one North of Columbia is really neat. I am not sure if it is finished but I think there are plans to connect Columbia to Bainbridge with this trail. Parts of it are finished. When it gets a little warmer I would like to ride on it.

Florentine, thanks for sharing this link. Perhaps I will see the eagle towards dark when it roosts. This same site tells us that 30 years ago there were only three eagle nests known in the entire state of Pennsylvania and that today there are over 250 known nests. That is a real success story. Perhaps someday we will see the return of some of the other species that have dwindled or almost disappeared like the bison which once roamed the state or the wolf or the woodcock. I would even be glad to see the return of the Eastern Ringneck Pheasant to this area. About 40 years ago, you could find them everywhere in fields around York. All you had to do was walk through a field. Some of my most delicious Thanksgiving dinners were pheasant.

Since you are naming forums in honor of people, may I suggest a history forum in honor of JimmyBear. I think that would be very fitting for how much he contributed to the one on the Exchange
Totally agree Brady and Jimmy will be acknowledged with his own forum.
Thank you I am overwhelmed with your honor. I am just not sure how much I will be able to contribute but I will try.
