So far I’ve only seen a couple of videos of “The Wedding.”  The first one that I saw was of the bridge and groom going out onto the balcony and waving to the crowds of well-wishers below.   You could see the surprise on Katherine’s face when she saw how many people were out there!  I have to say that I have not heard of any problems with crowd control breaches of security where any fans or protestors broke through the barricades of velvet rope and stanchions.

I knew that there were going to be some protests going on at the same time somewhere, but really have not heard of any news coverage of them yet.  So I guess that the protesters were a little bit disappointed on that front.  One thing is sure – the British people love their royal family!  I wish that Americans loved their Presidential family that much!

Did you get up early to watch “The Wedding?” You know which one I’m talking about – The wedding of Prince William and Katherine. I slept right through it. I didn’t even TRY to get up to watch it. I had to go to work that day, and I knew that I would NOT be able to keep my eyes open and work after getting slim to none sleep the night before. So I was a responsible adult and just went to bed at my normal time. I do plan on watching some of the wedding’s videos at my leisure, so don’t worry about that!

Since the wedding, however, I’ve noticed a lot of facebook chatter from people who were very critical over the whole thing. I won’t even bother to repeat the nasty nonsense that was going on. I find it very sad that there are so many bitter people in the world that they would resort to criticizing anything about that wedding. I think that there are plenty of other things to be critical about – it would be nice to have a little break from it all and enjoy a bright moment of pageantry and romance. Those moments are few and far between, and should be cherished, not criticized!

I’ve been hearing that a well known businessman wants to run for president.  Although I’m not surprised that he has that kind of confidence, I think that I would have some real concerns about his very public heated mud-slinging and insult-swapping incidences, and how that would relate to the international diplomacy that leading a country requires.

What do you think?  Do you think that a guy who has that quick a temper should be put into such a powerful position?

i hope you had the chance to go outside and look at the huge moon last night. It was so awesome! I tried to get a picture with my digital camera, but it does not do well in the dark without a tripod. This photo was taken about 9:30 at night – it was bright white all night long!

Many years ago I saw a movie called Earthquake in a movie theater.  The theater had been equipped with a special system that made the seats shake so that the audience felt what it would be like to actually be in an earthquake.  I have been terrified of earthquakes ever since.  This recent disasterous earthquake in Japan is very sad.  The tsunami also terribly sad.  The damage to the nuclear plant is terrifying!  I haven’t been able to listen or watch much of the news about it, but just thinking about what could happen to the entire earth as a result of the nuclear plant going into meltdown is one of the scariest things!

Thankfully I haven’t heard of any media idiots who are callous enough to claim that this is some kind of divine justice.  I hope none of them are doing that!
