Credit Card Applications 2008-04-29 18:14:00 I have excellent credit. It is something I worked on all my adult life. I paid my bills when I had trouble paying to gas up my car or food to eat. I still paid my bills. As a result, I have a credit rating that only 2% of the USA can claim to possess. Not bragging, just stating a fact to make a point about the title of this entry.
If there is a downside to having a great credit score, it is Read more:Applications

John McCain Must Be Smiling 2008-04-28 18:22:00 The racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright is at it again. This time he's narrowed his sights on...Senator Obama, of all people. This lunatic said, ""I said to Barack Obama last year, 'If you get elected, November the 5th, I'm coming after you, because you'll be representing a government whose policies grind under people,' Wright said." I'm sure Senator Obama has been sanctimoniously forewarned by this Read more:McCain

's that is all the rage. I honestly didn't put much thought into buying one until I decided to visit Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. I saw this HUGE 52 inch plasma by Sony that was just out of this world beautiful. I could not get over the crispness, the detail and unbelievable life like resolution on this TV! It was the

My First Car: 1966 Chevrolet Bel Air 2008-04-26 20:50:00 Times being what they were, I did not own a car while I was a teenager. It wasn’t often, but I did have to ask my beloved father to use his car for doing the teenager thing for dates, school activities and so forth. I didn’t like asking him for reasons that I will share at a later date in another blog entry. But, for now, let’s just suffice it to say asking him for the keys to his car was Read more:First

It’s Been a Tough Week 2008-04-26 09:00:00 I guess I’ve had worse weeks in my life. In fact, I’m sure of it. From losing loved ones in my family to being without a job to signing papers on my divorce. But, this one has to rank in the top five of worst weeks in my life.
It started off with losing my best friend since I was 16 years old, Barry. That was devastating to me. I got the news late Sunday afternoon and was just absolutely Read more:Tough
Ghost Hunters: Sci Fi Channel 2008-04-25 20:13:00 I had been a casual observer of this series on the Sci Fi Channel
up until about a year ago. Now, I’m hooked. Not that I seriously believe in ghosts, spirits, etc. I’ve never personally encountered such. My grandfather considered himself somewhat a spiritualist. He said he had encounters with spirits and so forth. I never believed it. But, he had some mighty convincing “ghost stories” that Read more:Ghost

Rice Shortage vs Gas Shortage 2008-04-25 07:07:00 This worldwide rice shortage is something I'm sure that causes panic in Asian countries where rice is the main food staple. I question just how much of a shortage there actually is and how much is speculative in nature to raise the price. The price of rice, along with basically all food, is increasing simply because of increased cost of fuel. Violent protests have broken out in some Asian Read more:Shortage

WoolMarket: The Bridge 2008-04-24 07:00:00 This is a series I have started on my early childhood (1958-1961), starting with “Woolmarket: The Beginning".
As I said in the opening entry on this series, there wasn’t a whole lot to do in the little stop in the road called Woolmarket, MS. As previously noted, they had a drag strip that we were never able to get inside up close (“too much money”). But, we were able to sneak around the

Requiem for the Thousandth Man 2008-04-22 15:32:00 One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth man will stand your friend
With the whole round world agin you.
Rudyard Kipling must have been speaking about people like my dear friend Barry. Read more:Requiem
Death of an Old Friend 2008-04-20 21:37:00 A very short entry tonight.
Barry, an old friend of mine from high school, died tonight at a hospital in Florida. Barry and I hung out together in high school. We talked about our dreams, aspirations and woes together. He was my best friend at one time. We drifted apart over the years. But, I always had his number and he had mine in case we needed to get in touch. I mourn my old friend
Most Embarrassing Moments 2008-04-19 14:58:00 No, if you think I’m going to talk about MY most embarrassing moments, think again. Maybe I’ll do it in another blog entry. Maybe. Instead I’m going to talk about embarrassing moments of other people that I have personally witnessed or had the story retold to me.
About five years ago, my wife (ex-wife now) and I went to the local American Legion hall for amateur night. Think of it as a Read more:Embarrassing

Money: The Ultimate Power Broker 2008-04-19 08:59:00 During my four year stint in the U.S. Navy, I was stationed in Naples, Italy. Just because I had shore duty didn’t mean I didn’t get my share of ship assignments. In the early 70s, the Vietnam War was still going on, though it was definitely winding down. I served 179 days there on three different ships. I was not allowed to get that 180th day because the U.S. Navy didn’t want to give me Read more:Money

Buddy 2008-04-18 19:49:00 During my one year stay in north Alabama, I had little in the way of finding things with which to be happy. I had a wife who whined from day light to dark. I was about 400 miles from home and I was surrounded by in-laws. I had been warned by family and friends about moving so close to my in-laws. And, like a fool, I ignored them. It was a hellacious one year in my life I wish not to live Read more:Buddy
Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting 2008-04-18 07:18:00 The Joy of Painting
with Bob Ross was one of those rare PBS broadcasts that I would actually watch from start to finish. It wasn't because I am a painter or even interested in painting. No, it had to do with Bob Ross himself. He had such a soothing tone of voice, easy going style that just put me at ease for 30 minutes, mentally and physically. For 30 minutes, all my problems, all my troubles
The Homeless 2008-04-17 17:36:00 Some people have phobias, such as fear of flying, fear of water, fear of enclosed places and so forth. I’ve got enough phobias to fill up a medium size library. The one that has always been at the back of my mind is fear of being homeless. There is no rational reason why I should ever feel this way. I don’t even know of anyone in my family or any friends I’ve ever had that said they had a
Comments on the Presidential Race 2008-04-17 10:53:00 The race for President of the United States has become one of the most bitter (yes, Senator Obama, I'm one of those bitter average Joes you spoke so eloquently about) in my lifetime. I don't remember the Nixon-JFK fight that much. But, I'm told that was one for the ages. The Democratic nomination process has degenerated into a smear campaign by the "change" candidate, Senator Obama and the " Read more:Comments

Woolmarket: The Beginning 2008-04-16 19:44:00 This is the start of a series I will do on Woolmarket, MS (just north of Biloxi which is now known for it’s casinos and gambling business). In my early childhood years (this was from 1958-1961), we lived in this Godforsaken place so far out in the country, my mother used to say they had to import sunlight so we could know night time was over. It is a place that brought both laughter, tears,
My Father in WWII 2008-04-16 07:24:00 I have always greatly admired the men and women who fought and participated in the Greatest Generation’s War, World War II. Hitler was a menace who had to be stopped at all cost. I’ve watched Saving Private Ryan countless times. I’ve watched the series Band of Brothers countless times as well. I was greatly moved by both.
My father also participated in WWII as a gunner’s mate in the U.S. Read more:Father
Mr. Mullane: His Story 2008-05-07 07:00:00 "Everyone has a story to tell. Regardless if it’s some CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a homeless man in the street. Everyone has the story of his or her life to share with the world...if only the world would listen.”
That was a common refrain from my mother. I didn’t pay much attention to her when she said it or even try to figure out what it meant. As I grow older, I realize just how
Hurricane Season Will Soon Be Here 2008-05-08 07:09:00 Hurricane season doesn’t “officially” start until June 1st. But, I noticed at Home Depot this week, people are already preparing. I saw one man buying a 3500 watt generator that was 40% off. After a hurricane, those things are worth their weight in gold. I bought one in April of 2006. After dealing with the heat and humidity that we got as a parting gift from Hurricane Katrina, I decided

Smokey: Alabama State Troopers 2008-05-09 12:38:00 Ahhh yes, Alabama
's finest. If you have ever had the fortune (or, as in some cases, misfortune) to encounter our Alabama Highway Safety Officers, you always get greeted, initially, with warmth and respect. Of course, they expect the same from you. I suspect the State
Trooper I saw handcuffing a young man at a convenience store last night didn't receive the respect the officer felt warranted.
