I drove in the snow for the first time today! It was very exciting. I drove Papa to Roseour's to get milk. In the parking lot I slammed on the brakes and felt the anti-lock system switch on; in a side street after stopping I pushed hard on the gas and felt the tires spin. It was awsome!
Nathan and Peter both got a deer; Nathan's is hanging in the apple tree at the moment. I will post some pictures of the mighty hunters and their kills later.
I bought my windy ticket today! Hurray for balls, dresses, and fancy hair do's!
It is cold and snowing. Here comes Christmas!

Quotes
"Education is not like filling a bucket, it is lighting a fire."
-Plutarch
"In every country paupers envy respectable citizens and make heros of unprinciple characters, hating the established order of things and hankering after innovation; discontented with their own lot, they are bent on general upheaval. Turmoil and rebellion bring them carefree profit, since provety has nothing to lose."
-The Conspiracy of Catiline by Sallust

Friend Test
I got this off someone's blog who got it from some e-mail thing and I thought it was great so I nabbed it and posted it here for your enjoyment ;)
REAL FRIEND TEST !
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself (and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!)
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears..
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend d seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Quotes
"History is written by the victors and for their own end." -Dr. George Grant
"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large of petty -- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." -Winston Churchill
"The gospel is like a caged loin. It does not need to be defended, it just needs to be let out of its cage." -Charles Spurgeon
On the topic of science vs. God...
"No gods, no masters, for Science is now our decree. Just facts, just factors, in the temple of truth we're free. Our savior, our deliver, a priest in white robes. The Scienists, the experts, in them lie out greatest hopes." -Erasmus Darwin
This is what some people believe today. Pretty scary!
