lotsa sightseeing!

-
The older I get, the more I understand why "old" people drive cars like Buicks.  I spent 3 days in my little Saturn, which is great to run around town in, but for a long haul trip, UGH!  I missed the comfortable seats of my truck but couldn't afford to drive Chevron across the prairie and back this time.

I paid $3.09 for gas someplace in Missouri.  What are we doing wrong here in Utah?

I was in St. Louis about four hours before the start of game 7.  I drove right stinking past the stadium!  Oh, for some more time, just to go find a bar and hang out and watch the game.  I imagine that would have been a story to remember.  I kept right on driving, though.

I think Bucket missed the truck, too.  There wasn't much room in the car on the way home.  Bucket is a little bigger than the front seat of the Saturn and when I have a minute, I gotta clean the fur off the seat.

Yup, Bucket is home. He seems to be happy about the whole thing.  He was happy to see me and I thought he wouldn't remember me.  He remembers the house and the beagle, who by the way, is NOT happy about this.  

I have a good story to tell about God working in my life which I'll share later on in the week.  I also have a bone to pick with some people on the right about healthcare.  I'll be sharing a story about why I love my mac.  I got to play I.T. guy yesterday and it was so easy because I own a mac.

Well that's it.  Looking forward to a quiet night at work and then tomorrow doing some baking and starting to prepare for Thanksgiving!

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
