Pondering Stuff
July 2nd, 2008
On every government check I ever got it said in the fine print that it would no longer be “good” after one year from the issue date - did the checks we pay Cuba for Gitmo also expire? I mean Castro just throws them in a desk drawer when he gets them. Is that like money sitting in our national checking account?
Words to live by; “Putting your best foot forward isn’t that impressive if you haven’t washed your feet.”
We have been digging up ancient people’s graves for a couple of hundred years now - (Read the rest of the story…)

Military Moves
June 9th, 2008
Bonnie and I have made our fair share of military moves. We have lived overseas and all over the United States from Boston to Panama City - Phoenix to Philly. Each time we moved we left it up to the contractors the household goods people sent to the house to pack our things. Our moves gradually became larger as we started collecting more and more stuff and thank goodness our weight allowance kept pace - we could ship up to 15,000 pounds during our last move and almost hit that number even though we would also pack our car so full you couldn’t see out the back windows.
A few homesteads ago, I think it was when we lived in Georgia but the wife seems to think Jackson, MS, we picked up this plant. Where we got him really doesn’t matter but his life story does. It is an amazing tale of hardship, neglect, perseverance and wonder. (Read the rest of the story…)

MEDIC!
May 29th, 2008
Security at Disney is something they take very seriously. Thousands of people enter the various parks every day. The worlds climate for hate dictates that every one must remain vigilant. Some security measures I have noticed which hadn’t existed prior to 9/11 are things like increased video surveillance and coded tickets which are matched with your finger print each time you enter.
One other inclusion into Disney’s security is the bag check once reserved for airports and federal buildings. Disney does have a better process - they have two lines, one for people with bags and one for the stream-lined traveler who is packed lite. (Read the rest of the story…)

Disney Bidet
May 26th, 2008
Made it to Disney World! We start our 8 day stint at one of the number one vacation spots known to man. To get ready for this trip we upgraded our camping equipment by taking advantage of a sale at Bass Pro Shop - we got a 10′x10′ Coleman tent for just 89 bucks. Much better than my other tent - I can stand up in this one.
This is the first time we have ever stayed at Disney’s campground, Fort Wilderness. So far we are very impressed. Our campsite is on a small creek that winds through the campground. Tame wildlife wonders through occasionally like rabbits, ducks and even saw a (Read the rest of the story…)

Time to Get Serious
April 18th, 2008
We have lived in our house for five years now! This may not seem like a long time to most people but for me it is an eternity.

Twenty four locations and in some of the towns actually moved households - anyway, lived in a ton of places in my 45 years on the planet.
One thing I am experiencing now that I did not experience in ANY of those other locations was (Read the rest of the story…)

April Fools Wish List
April 2nd, 2008
Five things I wish I’d have heard today and explained away as April Fool’s jokes;
1. Global warming (it’s just Mother Nature having her cycle).
2. The Mayor of Memphis’ extortion/resignation letter. - The school board should hire him as he wants and then fire him a week later so we can all be done with him!

Network Game
November 12th, 2007
On the television there is a commercial running which has people saying they do business in a number of different cities and their cell phones need to make sure they have good connection. Don’t know who the company is, don’t really care - I just want to play too! (Read the rest of the story…)
