It's getting scary out there!

Well, I'm still alive but it wasn't because someone didn't try to change that for me today.  Maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but I thought either the person that cut in front of me or me, or both of us were going to get dead today.

Yesterday a guy in one of those square bed work trucks decided he had to be in both lanes at once and almost wiped me out.  I'm not alone, and thankfully I'm unharmed.

But the people in the accident I saw on the way home tonight are not.  It was bad.  Nobody was killed, fortunately (making that assumption on the number of police cars on the scene), but some folks had to be badly injured in the wreck.  It's getting dangerous out there.

I know it's the holidays and we're busy and stressed and tired and all, but that doesn't excuse this little move I saw happen in front of my on 41st. Street and Harrison today.  The left tun light had just changed and through traffic also had a green light going north.  i saw a man in a little silver car make a left hand  turn from the left lane, in front of a big Ford Excursion who was in the turn lane.  There was barely enough room in between the Excursion and the car ahead of him for this brainiac to make that traffic move.  

Unbelievable!

Well, that's all for tonight.  I have a hot date!!!! (with some hot water and a pain pill, I pulled a muscle in my back and it really hurts).  Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately.  Much is happening in my life (at least I think so) but the best advice coming my way seems to suggest this is a time for quiet and listening, so I am.  I figured the traffic nightmare was OK to share.

God bless y'all and thanks for reading this thing.

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...
