Well snow is still coming down and I suppose I will be heading out to clean out the driveway in a bit. Should try and get the bulk of it cleaned up as it is wet and it is going to drop down to some pretty cool temperatures in the next few days. So that could freeze what I do have in the driveway now and that would be a problem to remove. Highway 522 has been plowed but it is quite slippery with icy spots. One should take care if out traveling today. Enjoy your day my friends.
Well if you have been reading my posts here at the blog you would have read where I predicted a storm could be heading our way.

Then we will have a few flurries developing this afternoon. High today will be around 26F. Winds will increase and come in from the East at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow this afternoon around 60%. I expect around an inch or so. Then tonight we will have the brunt of the storm with heavy snow and strong winds. By morning we could have up to 12 inches. I say could as it all as it all depends on a few formalities, like which way the winds will prevail from and barometric pressure. Temperatures will stay about the same as daytime temperatures with a Low of 24F. Winds should remain coming in from the East at 20 to 30 mph.

Quiet as usual here in Port Loring. On a health issue. Many years ago I remember my old Dad saying that he was going to plant a lot of Kale for market. Reason being that Kale is about the most potent healing foods in existence; back then and into today. There isn’t to many foods in the grocery store today that can compare with kale for ones health. My wife and have planted it each and every spring and have indulged in its healthy benefits every evening for supper through out the growing season. You can cook it like spinach or you can eat it raw. We like the tender young leaves raw and the older leaves cooked up, on top of a low heat. Nothing is more healthy for you folks and if you see some in the organic section of your grocery store I can only say this. You will do well to pick some up and get to eating . With the lack of sunshine here in our area it will help immensely in keeping your body & mind healthy and strong. Have a great day.

Well as usual not to much to report around town. Myself just doing some clean ups around the old house and wife is busy with Christmas on her mind. I also have been busy working on our fifth book which will be coming out in the spring of 2013. That will be it for awhile once it is written as I want to work on a health book which folks have been asking for now for over five years. So thinking I will get into that. It will take me a year or so to finish I suspect. Any ways folks, stay healthy, wash them hands after coming out of stores and places where lots of folks congregate. Not using that Disinfectant soaps that make your body sick neither. If you feel the need other than good old hand soap you can use vinegar. It will kill all flu and cold viruses without hurting your body. Enjoy your day.
Did you know that good old sunshine which changes Cholesterol into Vitamin D can slash your risk of getting the flu or a cold by a whopping 42 percent if not more—isn’t that a lot better than the highly controversial not so good H1N1 flu shot with all its harmful side effects. Also in winter were sunshine isn’t in abundance you can still get Vitamin C naturally in: kiwi, grapefruit, watercress, alfalfa, strawberries, oranges, and pineapples. Getting it naturally is a thousand times better than in pill form. Also remember that if everyone got lots of sunshine there would be no such thing as high cholesterol. The last item that fights colds and Flu’s Immensely is good old Garlic. Organic Garlic not the stuff from over seas. Locally grown right here in Ontario is what you should seek out. Also Garlic will be a helping aid in the prevention of cancer and common infections and illnesses better than antibiotics. Its chemical compound allicin has antiviral properties also that will help stave off the cold and flu virus. Raw garlic is quite potent for some, so if your don’t like to eat it raw you can simply add chopped or diced garlic to what ever your cooking. Near the end of cooking is the best of course as the more you cook it the less goodness you get out of it.
Ginger has been used for thousands of years as a healer. Its benefits are widely recognized and extremely varied. It is seen as a “warming” food that can increase circulation and reduce general inflammation. While the list is long, here are just a few of the benefits of this remarkable root:
Cancer prevention (Shown in one study to shrink prostate tumor size by a whopping 56% in tests) A few of many items that it helps is listed below. Nice thing about it is that anyone can get it at your grocery store. I have a tea made from fresh roots every night before going to bed. Thing is folks you have to look after your own body and you shouldn’t be relying on the medical world to do it for you. Just doesn’t work that way. A lot say it does but it doesn’t. My Opinion Only.
