Reports are that there was 1,000 people at a Homecoming reunion after a football game that happened 24 hours ago.

1,000 people in a town that has 3,000 people. The local police were treating this as a celebration party of some sort. He's kinda of an awwshucks Mayberry sheriff. This is a rural area. I don't understand it.

Teed off into a dense fog. Had to find a Srixon-Q half florescent green/half florescent yellow ball in my golf bag.

Powerade, Lance crackers and some Vienna sausages. Shot an 80 (with 1 mulligan).

There are older cars that were engineered to be a pain in the arse. My take on GM.

GM 3800 had a problem with coolant leak. There was an elbow that routed coolant through a bracket of the alternator/tensioner pully. Why? I have no clue. Seems pretty stupid.

Also, because it was front wheel drive, you had to work blindly, after a cooling off period, under the car, just to remove the back three spark plugs.
Various other problems cropped up, I gave it to a local trade school for a tax deduction. 112,000 miles.

My father-in-law gave me a Chevrolet C-10 because I was always working on it. This is when the engines had distributers and points. GM for some reason decides to put the distributer down in a hole by the firewall. Total pain in the arse.

My Mazda B2000 and my Tundra are "user friendly" and I work on them when needed...easily.

I worked in a grocery store 50+ years ago. The people that paid from the food stamp book, bought cabbage/collards, a block of lard, a sack of flour, five pound bag of sugar, ham hocks... These people were really poor and would try to give me a quarter for loading it in the back of a rusted out truck.

I hated the fact that that was all they had.

I have been broke many times, but I have never been poor. These people didn't have any "niceties".

Japan is sending Nintendos.

This is just me. It's how I pray.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.…

It's pretty simple.

I don't want to threadjack, but isn't this actually what didn't happen with the Army helicopter and American Airlines flight 5342 at Ronald Reagan airport Washington D.C.?

The collision occurred at 8:47 p.m. at an altitude of about 300 feet (100 m) and about one-half mile (800 m) short of the threshold of runway 33 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia. All 67 people aboard both aircraft were killed in the crash, 64 passengers and crew on the airliner and the three crew of the helicopter.

Was it the ATC or incompetance? Height seems ok, if you're in the middle of the airport.

Just a thought.

Sleep, drink breakfast blend coffee (more caffeine), smoke a couple of cigarettes, take a dump while doing crossword puzzles, shower, shave, get dressed. I rarely eat breakfast, usually just a banana, an apple or a tangerine.

I will say, when I had to give a presentation to 10-200 people, xanax is my drug of choice. I was usually amped, had some stage fright, but I knew content inside and out. It calmed me down, along with walking around on a stage, (I can't stand behind a podium), asking questions, looking at a particular person, instead of the crowd, clicking the remote to distract to the next subject.

One of the things that I emphasized as a Boy Scout leader was public speaking. (Minus the xanax). Every one of my Eagle Scouts have no problem speaking in any public situation. From skits to leadership roles in the troop, to addressing a merit badge ceremony, to delivering a sermon at church. They have done well.
