OK,

I woke up this morning at six thirty for no particular reason.  Well, that I know about anyway.  I couldn't get back to sleep so I did what I've done a zillion times before in my life; I turned on the TV.  There was a short movie on from MGM from back in the day.  It was Scrooge in about five minutes.  I'm sure it was snippets of a longer movie they made.  Anyway, after the Scrooge bit, they went into an advertisement for the movie KISMET.  There's a word you don't hear every day, right?  Anywyay, the guy holds up a record album (for you kids that are too young, CDs used to be called albums or records or both) of the soundtrack of this particular film.  Then they cut to a scene from the movie.  I wasn't feeling it so I changed the channel for a minute then turned the thing off.

I don't think too much of things.  I mean that. I can't help but see the things I do.  You never know what each day will bring.  Keep that in mind.

I had to stop for gas.  I found myself face to face with an opportunity courtesy of a gal that used to be sweet on your intrepid reporter.  Apparently some people think I'm a catch.  Anyway, as I was walking into the sev, I walked right past the car with Oregon plates backing up next to me.  I just laughed.  I see them all the time.  Usually with my friend from Oregon but all the time.  I'm used to it.  The opportunity was that we did something nice for some folks a while back and the opportunity might present itself to repeat that.  It is the time for sharing, so sure.  We'll see what happens.

Anyway, that's not what the story is about.  I was on my way to see a friend from church and that's when KISMET became the word of the day.

How many cars are there in this damn state?  Well, I can tell you that only ONE has the license plate that says KISMET on it.  And I passed it.

The only way this story will get better is when I see the car with Oregon plates on it that says KISMET.  When I do, and it won't surprise me if it happens today, yours truly is pulling up the tent and heading west.

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...
