In a Small Sense, I guess

Posted in Uncategorized by

I know that light I’m aproaching will turn red before I get there. It’s difficult to deny years of experiece. You know. When that big 4×4 pickup next to me starts begins forcing his way in front of me, it never surprises me.

When I was in the Marines and a bad rumor circulates, I know it is true. On the other hand, I was never surprised when the good rumors never came true.

As far as believing in fate or destiny as a thing or force, nope. There is certainly no destiny that has a face or persnality. To be sure, when a certain set of cercumstances fall in place, it would only stand to reason something generally follows.

I have a saying, when I drop something, I am apt to say, gravity worked again. It would certainly surprise me if the object remained in mid-air.

I do believe God does exist and that He does take a personal interest in all of us, in me and this world. He is not fate or destiny. However, from the formation of the earth, He knew me. He knew every decision I would ever make. Whenever and wherever He chooses, He intervenes.

For instance, in the case of that obiect I drop, He knew I would drop it. If He chose he could stop me from droping it. Generally, He does not interfere with gravity but he can. In fact He has.

From time to time, I wish He would intervene in that man’s plans to pull over in my lane. On the other hand He just might have a lesson for me. It still gives my wife a fright when he tries to make his big pickup occupy the same space as my car.

If such a thing happened, it would be bad driving, not fate, not destiny.

As a side note, I do like the musical, “Kismet” which is, I think Arab for fate. Just cause I like the show, doesn’t mean I believe in it. Mostly I like the music. I did from the first I heard it. I especially enjoy the song Stranger in Paradise. I’ll never tire of it.

Measles Outbreak

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Coronavirus, Deceit, Elections, Lawyers and Representation, Plutocrat, President Trump by

Before the mid 1960s measles outbreaks were common. 2 or more million died every year world wide. To most, it was a very irritating rash. To others it was devistating.

Moreover, to catch it, one only breathe while in the room with someone who has it. It is one of the most infectious diseases known to mankind.

In the past few decades, it has been on the decline. In the US, the vaccine had the disease virtually eliminated. Now, I note on the news that there is a major outbreak. Oddly, they seem to be having difficulty figuring why or where it has come from.

Let me give you a hint. Millions have been crossing our border. No one has been screenning them. We have no idea how many had measles… mumps, whooping cough, polio or any of those other horrible little monsterous viruses. Do you suppose anyone has a clue as to how many brought the China virus with them from Mexico.

Those little virus things are really good at hitch hiking. It is why immigrants were isolated for a while before they were permitted to actually enter our country in early 1900s. Back then, we actually had some intelligece on such matters. Now, not so much. Now the diseased bring those little hitch hikers with the help of the dems.

So, if your child has come down with measles, or for that matter, mumps, small pox or any of those other horrid diseases, you might want to thank the dems. President Trump did have those coming across the border to a trickle.

The dems and the rinos did not like that. The rinos were already complaining that they were having to pay higher wages. The dems were angry that they would have to give up future voters.

And so it is, for lower wages and future power, your child must endure the suffering of measles and or many other dreaded diseases. (Just so you know… they don’t care.)

If your child suffered, or possibly died from one of those hitch hickers, was the open border worth it. Do you really want the borders left open. Are you really in favor of letting those micro-hitckers into the states so they can spread and cause grief to others.

You Say You Could Use a New Roof

Posted in Uncategorized by

I could use one. It has been while.

Well, in this case, the roofing team was sent to the wrong address in OK, OK. When the crew realized the error, they had already removed the roof.

What else could they do. There’s just no way to put the shingles back the way they were. So, now, due to the mistake, the owners of the wrong home have a brand new roof. From what they said in the story, they really liked it too.

Now just why can’t things like that happen to me.

It does remind me of something that didn’t work out so well. A family returned from vacation to find their house missing. Yep, that’s right. The house movers had the wrong street. I can’t remember how that one turned out.

I would love to have my roof replaced. Having my house moved might cause problems, depending on where they put it. I might like the new location.

What Do They Want, Please Say It Aloud.

A while ago, the call was for less police, less putting people in jail, and of course less bail. Now, I see on TV, they are calling to get the hooligans off the road that are doing doughnuts in the road.

They are also complaining about the car thievery. Some are having the nerve to complain about the thievery and destruction in the stores.

I thought it was clear that when you decreased policing; when you threaten police when they do their job, it was precisely what you were begging for.

So what do the people of Memphis want now. Honest, you got exactly what you voted for. The dems promised to defund the police and they did. They promised to do away with bail and they did. The dems promised to protect you from the police and they are. You voted for them and you got exactly what you voted for.

Now, if you have changed your mind, guess what. It is going to take a while. those dems will not give up their power willingly. They will even pretend they, too, want a reversal of polocies.

Don’t believe them. vote them out first chance you get. If you let them maintain their control, they will let the criminals loose, just as they already did.

If you want law & order and you don’t replace those dems next election, it’s best you leave and quickly. Those who delay the most will be the ones who will have a tough time selling their real estate and businesses. Also, they just might be the ones who will have a hard time getting that U-Haul. or pro movers.

For my brief aside, the same could be accurately said about NY, NY. Those folks up there are stuck on dem so hard, even if it meant burning down the city, they’d still vote dem.

Time for an Auction

Posted in Uncategorized by

Heard something on the radio I was unable confirm. Sorry. However, in my search, I came across something few talk or write about.

As near as I can tell, there are many yachts taken to sanction Russian wealthy people. At least one is in San Diego Harbor. Wonder who is taking care of it. Wonder who is paying for the slip and security. Slips for 350 foot yachts are not cheap.

Apparently, it is far from being alone. For a former communist country, for a relatively poor country, they sure seem to have a lot of very wealthy people.

Moreover, they seem to be having many foriegn tax payers pay, perhaps collectively billions to tend their big boats.

That is not right. Maybe it is time to hold a big auction.

Somehow, I don’t think that will happen. Those wealthy people have power and I’m sure it extends outside the Russian borders and inside ours. If you don’t believe me, watch what happens if we got serious with the idea.

As near as I can tell, they are benefitting from the sanctions. Though they might temporarily lose the use of the yachts, they still own them and we take care of them in the meantime.

As long as we are throwing away money, maybe they can toss a grand or two my way. I wouldn’t mind.

Panic Time

Reached for bathroom door and realized it was locked. Looked over and saw my wife was in the bedroom. It was then I was reminded of one of the benefits of two batrooms.

I really need to set up an emergency plan for the future.

Judgement?

Posted in Christian values by

Don’t know. I’m not a prophet. Still, California has been getting more than their share of disasters lately. Let’s see. They have had drought, floods, snow storms. As a result, mud slides, possible tornados and perhaps something I left out.

Moreover, it would seem most of bad weather is centered in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Both are centers for sinful practices.

It is easy to sluff it off on coincidence or, maybe climate change. However, maybe we can take a look back in history to a man who was a prophet, Jeremiah. He made predictions of judgements and it was sluffed off as coincidence. Because they did not heed the warnings and turn to God, they were taken captive by Babylon and the Temple was destroyed.

Who am I to say if the one thing has anything to do with the other. However, we do know 2 things for sure. California is very rebeious toward God and they are suffering continuously worse ‘natural’ disasters; the worst I have ever seen there.

Caution: You might start expecting more earth quakes next. More coicidences?

All of Them

Posted in Uncategorized by

Well, those as an adult anyway. It seemed every time, I left good friends. Some might find this odd, but I left some of my best friends at the restaurant where I worked. However, the Marines were calling.

Things were different in the Marines, a lot different. I learned so much while there. And when I say there, there was a few different places. I saw many places and many peoples I would not have seen as a civilian

There were many things I hated to leave in the Marines. No one leaves the Marines after 9 years without leaving part of him behind.

I settled in Mempis after being discharged. I was stationed there twice and was familiar with it. There was much I liked about it. Then, that was before the dems got control. As many did at the time, I moved south of the stateline.

For a while, I continued to work out of Memphis, but took calls in Ark, Mo and even spent time in Detroit, and Dallas repairing computers. I would have prefered to do that the rest of my life, but computers don’t break anymore.

I had taught for 3 years in the Marines. So I decided to give it a try at NAS Memphis. There is nothing better than teaching. If I didn’t need to eat, I would do it for nothing.

How-some-ever, one day I woke up and found out they were tearing down the Berlin Wall. They packed up the training center and moved it to Pensicola. I was suddenly out of the best job I ever had.

At that point, I found a couple of jobs as a computer operator. It was a good for an older man. Then, it was the hardest phase. Retirement.

Don’t much care for retirement. It’s better to have something productive to do.

I Like It

It seems some truckers have decided to put the sqeeze on NY, NY. Can you imagine as many as 1/4 of the truckers refusing to deliver to NY, NY. It’s not that much of a stretch. I’ve talked to several drivers that refuse to make deliveries there anyway. The place is just not designed for 18 wheelers.

Regardless, it would seem that that NY, NY judge made a decision that has set the drivers off. When it was decided that Trump owes 350 million, several drivers chose to reply in a way they will likely be heard loud and clear, coast to coast.

Let’s make an assumption. Let’s say there is a large disruption and all those world class restaurants start having probems getting supplies. All those international clothing stores don’t have anything to sell. Suddenly, they go to the mayor and councilmen. Then, there begins the clamering from that guy in that 5th ave. apartment in the clouds.

They all say, do something fast or find another job. Now, of course, this is the interesting part. The mayor, in theory can’t do much. It’s the crazy nuts judge that brought down his little hammer and said guilty.

As far as I know, he’s the only one in the immediate future that might be able to reverse the decision. Actually, that might not be possible. I suppose it depends on the law. Then again, the judge might simply refuse. I did say that the judge is crazy nuts.

I simply have no idea what happens after that, maybe an emergency pardon. Your guess is likely better than mine.

Well, there is one more outlandish thing, that is if they can get enough driver-less trucks.
