I’m not surprised at all

Imagine hating the president so much you actually wish for bad things to befall the US military. 

It is not really hard to imagine, the Democrats have taken this stance every time a Republican is in office since 1968.

A good time was had

 I’m back from a great week in sunny (most of the time) Florida. Sunny and 85 is replaced with cloudy, windy, and freeze warnings. Sigh.

I have about 100 emails to deal with along with my normal Monday reports. Sigh, sigh. And I even worked during the holiday. 

I know, I have no right to complain after taking a vacation. I would show you a picture, but Google will not let me post pictures or music on my phone. So it goes. 

Life Choices

 I went to grab some lunch yesterday. As I was coming down a long exit ramp from the interstate I saw a panhandler in a wheelchair by the left turn lane. He looked around, stood, and stretched. He walked around the chair, saw me coming and scrambled back to his seat like he was a finalist in high stakes professional musical chairs. 

I laughed and turned right. That is why I never give money to those clowns. 

Somewhere in the archives is the story of the panhandler in some place who set up camp with a “Will work for Food” sign across from a Wendy’s. Wendy’s was advertising “help wanted “. 

Liftoff

As a kid it was always a big deal when we sent intrepid astronauts into space. If it happened during school hours a TV was wheeled into the classroom so we could watch the launch or the splashdown. 

On a beautiful July day in 1969 I was in the house sitting at apt attention watching the fuzzy image of man walking the moon. 

I watched in shock as Challenger’s pieces arced across the sky. 

Yesterday I watched brave souls strapped to a rocket once again, after nearly a lifetime, head into space. 

This is a great thing. I cannot tell you why, but it is. 

I may have find The Right Stuff and watch it again. 

May God keep them safe.

I have no words

 Yeah, I’m still alive and well. 

I have nothing of note to say. I know, that never stopped me before, but it has now. 

Buy my book if you want to read my words. 

Get off the road

 If you are going to drive in the highway use your cruise control. I don’t care what you think, over the miles you cannot hold your speed steady. 

I’ve driven over a million miles. I am not exaggerating. I used to travel a lot. I cannot make the speedometer behave up and down hills and around curves over long distances. 

I am especially looking at the jerk in the red jeep Friday . Over the course of about 100 miles we passed each other 14 times. My speed never varied. I had the cruise locked at 78. 

And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand

 You can never go wrong jammin' with the Allman Brothers.
