"Shoreline"

Its starting to get cold now.. Temperature is 26 degrees now.. I can hear the wind howling outside.. Nothing new here going just waiting for the Holidays to come around.. Meanwhile here are a few ocean pictures from last week.. I live at the shoreline but I am at the ocean edge every day. What a tough life I have. Enjoy..

"On This Day in American History"

On November 12, 1954, Ellis Island, an entry point for millions of immigrants, closes. Opened in 1892, some 12 million people were processed through the island, and some estimate 40 percent of Americans can trace family members who came through Ellis Island. The first immigrant to be processed there was 15-year-old Annie Moore from Ireland. The busiest year for Ellis Island was 1907 when an estimated 1 million people entered the United States. After the 1924 Immigration Act, which sharply reduced the number of immigrants allowed into the country, the site did not process immigrants but rather served as a Coast Guard training center, hospital for wounded World War II soldiers and a detention center for illegal aliens..

My Grandparents came through Ellis Island from Italy..... I remember the stories they told me about the trip across the ocean.. Later on I also remember when they walked into the house after becoming Citizens... The smiles, the happiness but most of all I remember the Raviolis she made for the all those wonderful holidays we had.. Those are my treasures I have today...  

"Something New"

Believe me its no big deal. I'm getting rid of Live Journal. I can't believe I said that.. I've had it for years .. I started there and I will be ending here.. Where else but a Google site.. I have been posting here for years also... Check out some of my writing from the past..This is a picture of a Bluejay outside of my apartment window..

How he wants to be remembered....

"Addiction"

         

Addiction plague and Death will get worst, with the legalization of Marijuana...Medical Marijuana and Prescription drugs.... Lawyers and Politicians create new names to make it legal so they can hook you to come back for more..  They are now Legal drug dealers.. 

         To those suffering from addiction including Marijuana, whether it be from Alcohol or Drugs.. If you are successful in stopping the use of these addictive substances for a period of time you can never use another addictive drug again.. If you do, it will be like you never stopped only 100 times worst and probably fatal..

"Mental Defectives"

     Years ago we had Institutions in every State for Mental Defectives... They are all gone now but the Insane are roaming the streets as we speak..
