Barker's Newsbites: Wednesday, November 23, 2011
I love Thanksgiving.
I love all holidays!
Holidays are a time to celebrate the here and now, but they're also a time to remember the past days of our lives... to remember and give thanks for all the blessings in our lives.
My Grandma Barker lived to a ripe old age - she was in her 90's when she passed. She grew up in an era of horse-powered transportation... literally... horse-powered.
Grandma Barker would tell me about her uncle... who served in the union army during the Civil War.
Here's a song she used to sing to me as a toddler. It took me some time to find it... but here it is.
I hope you all take a moment to think back on your oldest childhood memories. I hope you all revere the past as I do. As long as we keep our memories near, our departed loved ones will never truly be gone.

People entering the U.S. illegally from Mexico are believed responsible for more than one-third of human-ignited wildfires in Arizona over a five-year period, according to a government report...
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Illegal immigrants are believed to have started 30 of 77 fires that were investigated from 2006 through 2010, according to the report by the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress.
(Federal land management agencies, however, did not investigate all 422 human-caused fires on federal and tribal land, as called for by federal policy. "Only 18% of fires on federal land during the five-year study period were actually investigated, and thus, the number and size of fires linked to illegal border crossers may actually be higher," Senator McCain of Arizona said.)
"The presence of illegal border crossers has complicated fire suppression activities in the Arizona border region," the report said, adding that it has "increased concern about firefighter safety, and, in some instances, has required firefighters to change or limit the tactics they use in suppressing fires."
* FOLK... WE'VE ACTUALLY LOST CONTROL OF LARGE AREAS OF OUR NATION'S BORDER TERRITORY. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS.

Five illegal immigrants armed with at least two AK-47 semi-automatic assault rifles were hunting for U.S. Border Patrol agents near a desert watering hole known as Mesquite Seep just north of the Arizona-Mexico border when a firefight erupted and one U.S. agent was killed, records show.
