The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Pics from around the house


Orange and white flowers in the valley

Innovative lo-tech way to keep the  $%^& birds from building a nest over the thermometer face

Hops doing OK

About half of the pricey flowers did not make it through the winter

Finally getting caught up





Chains dull fast when you cut wrong way


Half logs are screwed  to this to make them round with the chain saw

Before you take your assault weapon to Target -- believe it or not

The first 30 seconds are the point. The rest is for all the 'gun nuts' out there with the hope they listen.

The key to preventing the next terrorist attack?

Finally a fresh idea on the subject:

"Here’s what doesn’t get the headlines: Empathy. Listening to those around you. Even if you don’t like them very much.
Despite being relevant and important discussions, the glamorous headlines are ultimately distractions — they just feed into the carnage and the attention and the fame the killer desired. They are distractions from what is right in front of you and me and the victims of tomorrow’s shooting: people who need help. And while we’re all fighting over whose pet cause is more right and more true and more noble, there’s likely another young man out there, maybe suicidally depressed, maybe paranoid and delusional, maybe a psychopath, and he’s researching guns and bombs and mapping out schools and recording videos and thinking every day about the anger and hate he feels for this world.
And no one is paying attention to him."

More how gullible are you (or how have you been hoodwinked?)

"You hear it all the time. Why, 97 percent of all climate scientists agree that global warming is dangerous and man is causing it.The debate is over and it's time to act! (With the very kinds of tax and regulatory policies liberals would advocate anyway.)
Did you ever think to question, though, what the basis of this 97 percent figure might be? "

The first senile women president?

Ronald Reagan was born in 1911 and sworn in in 1977 at 66 year of age. Hillary Clinton was born in 1947 and will be sworn in in 2017 at 70 years of age -- 4 years older than Reagan was.

National Inquirer say first couple has marital problems. Is this one of them?

How can the Democrats link the Republicans to this??

"On April 14, the terrorist group Boko Haram abducted more than 230 Nigerian girls at gunpoint from their Chibok boarding school.  Their heavily-armed kidnappers shot two armed guards, herded the terrified girls into buses, vans and trucks and drove them off into the night. Only a few escaped."
source: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/05/06/kidnapped-nigerian-girls-must-act-fast-against-boko-haram-terrorists/

TWW wants to know how the Democrats plan on using the fundamentalist Moslem war on women becoming educated as part of the Dem's war on women claims against the Republicans.
