I do hope all your days are going well. I made it to the late service today. Sitting in My Darlings car in the sun while My Darling is cutting my granddaughters hair. Too cold in my daughter's home for me today. I need some sunshine.

Ha ha, radiation machine broke yesterday. Pick back up on Monday with treatment. Bah! My current nemesis. Heck, it's not the machine or even good folks operating the thing. Doggone after-effects took my butt down hard Wednesday evening.
Y'all enjoy your day and have a great one.

To be picky, I've been told practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect
The gym where I work out has dropped Direct TV. But no problem we can still find programming on the four TV's.A FaceBook funny:

Re walking on certain areas of the sidewalk: I spent about 3 months at DaNang (Rocket City). There were wooden sidewalks in front and behind the hooches that led to the latrines. It was a rainy season, so if you stepped off the sidewalks, you stepped in the mud. Since we were security, we kept an M-16 with us at all times. There was trouble between blacks and whites and the blacks would set on the back sidewalk with rifles and force whites off in the mud or to go to the front sidewalk (the long way if you were near the back of the hooch).I received a text from my granddaughter at the USAF Academy that this weeks starts the "40 Day Countdown to Recognition" This is a big deal for first year Cadets because once they go through this (and survive) they are granted the same privileges on campus as the upper classes Cadets.
No more walking on certain areas of the sidewalk, they can eat normally in the mess hall. Etc. But to get "recognition" you must go through a week of hell on earth. Here is a video of what to expect. During the period the Academy locks down and no visitors are allowed.

I had inadvertently done something that caused some of the blacks to think I had disrespected them. I was also the highest ranking non career guy in security on base. One day coming back from chow, a few whites came up to me and asked me to lead a "revolution" which was basically a civil war. I had no idea what to do or say, but I guess the brass were watching. Early the next morning I was on a chopper heading to Tan My LORAN station as their new asst NCOIC of security. I have no idea what happened with the situation at DaNang, but I was happy I didn't have to deal with it.
For some reason the Good Lord has had mercy on this poor dumb country boy a number of times. Maybe He figures somebody as dumb as this guy needs a little extra help.Wow Sir,
I never had any issues in Detroit growing up though, when I was in I think the fourth or fifth grade, (Busing was becoming a big thing, even though we didn't need busing. We were well blended.) A small stump of a black kid punched me square in the nose, turned and ran away through the crowd. (We were all crowded in and he took a cheap shot I guess he was taught young.) Anyway it got me angry more than hurt me though he caught me with a real good shot it didn't bring blood.
I looked for that kid for I know a year or two as I planned to pay him back. Never did see that peckerwood again... (I'm not one to hold a grudge but if I ran into that person today, I'd think about paying him back.)
I had an issue in the Army one time but it isn't worth mentioning because it got settled quick. Amazes me to this day how people can be coerced into prejudice attitudes.... It seems at times easily.
He looks like Snoop Dogg:You GOT to be named................Willie...
