Maddy – Juror B 29
Maddy revealed that she was fed up before the trial was over. Being the only minority on the jury, she said that she was sequestered with five White women who didn’t understand her. They demeaned, mocked and trivialized her. She was ready to leave and return home saying, “If they had to put me in jail for going home, then put me in jail.”

A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming close with a suitcase in his hand.
-God said: Alright son its time to go.
-surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans…
-but I am sorry but its time to go.
-What do you have in that suitcase?
-God answered: Your belongings.
– My belongings? you mean my things, my clothes, my money?
-God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.
-Is it my memories? the man asked.
-God answered: those never were yours they belonged to the circumstances.
-Is it my talents:
-God answered : those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.
Is is my friends and family?
-God answered I’m sorry they were never yours they belonged to the path.
Is it my wife and children?
-God answered: I’m sorry they were never yours they belonged to your heart.
Is it my body?
-God answered that was never yours it belonged to the dust.
Is it my soul?
-God answered: no that is mine.
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find
out the suitcase was empty.
-With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
-God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only yours.
Life is just a moment, a moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy
this time while you have it. Don’t let anything that you think you own stop
you from doing so.
-Live now.
-Live your life.
-Don’t forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
-Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
-You can’t take anything.

Beautiful mosaics
I still continue to try my hand at mosaics. Below are my last two works.
This one I call Nativity. It is my idea of a Nativity scene and I love it. I made it out pieces of a broken cookie jar and a broken mug. It is 11.5 x 8 inches.
Nativity as I see it!

This one I named Butterflies and Flowers. It is 24 x 20 inches. I made it using different glass stones that I got at the 99 cent store. I had originally named it Butterflies, but when I was done a friend came over and when he saw it he asked: Are those butterflies or flowers?

Found primarily in Chile and thinly in bordering parts of Argentina, with others located on the islands of Chiloé and Guaitecas, this elusive and endearing little cat is the smallest felid in the New World, and with the smallest known distribution. Known also as the guiña or Chilean cat, and roughly the size of an average domestic cat, the extremely rare kodkod is very similar in appearance to Geoffroy’s cat.
The kodkods’ diminutive size may have spared them the horror of being hunted for their fur, but, as fate would have it, they tend to get caught in traps laid for foxes,
