Stretching

Would the daily regime of maybe 10 minutes of stretching each morning and each evening be of measurable worth in diminishing the pain in joints and inflamed nerves? Has research been done on this? Sure it makes sense that it "could" or even "should"...but what are the facts? This is just a remedy idea I conjured up as a potential cure for that getting old feeling when I hurts in me bones. The more I think about it...the more it makes sense. Might have to learn some effective stretching moves that don't carry a risk of pulling something out of whack. First I'd like to research this and see if there is any documented enlightenments already available.

Wow it is cold. That drizzle stuff last night froze into a layer of ice on the ground.
Wasn't expecting that, the step off the porch almost helped me get started on that "stretch" stuff. Went down to the storage container that is very slowly being converted into a guest house about 530am to turn off a propane heater that was left on as a test. Leaving it on low or medium it had just knocked the chill off, definitely going to need some insulation overhead. It has rings already welded at consistent intervals through out the 40ft...cable and turnbuckles may be the quickest most efficient way to support some R30. A shiny vapor barrier would be nice for reflecting lamp light. Lots to think about.

Looks like our trip this week may just miss the main snow but it is going to be so very cold. By early Friday a storm they don't even know about yet could wake up Chicago!

The grass is starting to grow though it seems...definitely need to finish mowing the pasture down this year..give it a fresh start. Better do that soon. Yeah it would be better if it were burned off, maybe I can get the volunteer fire department to do that...seems like thats been done in some place or another before.

Ahhh next weekend is Grace Kelly's weekend ! Maybe she will read to me from a more exciting book than the one she brought last time...she didn't even like that book. She picked it because she liked the cover. He he he, a new one to begin with the basic phrase "can't judge a book by its cover"...the beginning of the journey that will eventually lead her to understand that as a constant revelation in deeper and deeper ways all the way through the journey.

The new year just keeps rolling right on picking up speed as it goes....

Free Health Care and Free Housing

"Vote for me...I promise to get all the lost jobs back but with gigantic raises, I will have government subsidize income and make sure you have health insurance. I will mandate by law that everybody have health insurance. What do you want or need? No matter, whatever it is, I will have government give it to you." ...extrapolation of most of the candidates promises.

Translation. Want Higher Taxes? Want MORE laws? Want more national debt? More government as usual? Thats what is actually being offered.

Thus far I'm only hearing ONE candidate mention "the constitution". But what is spooky is that some of the youngsters I talk to these days either do not know what the constitution says/does or why we need it. And the news media is trying its HARDEST to avoid any mention of the candidate Ron Paul.
