Thomas, I'm ok for now. I'm thinking about fixing one of my volkswagens and putting it up for sale. Know anybody that would like to have one? When I get to working on those, it's like therapy to me!

Myrna, bless you. Like Steven says, once a door closes behind, don't look back or you'll miss the door that's opening in front of you. Sometimes it's difficult to not look back, as it was for Lot's wife, especially when you've invested so much time and money into something, and then it's gone. One could make an object lesson out of this, in that life is short, and what we have on this earth, we cannot take with us where we are going.

Hey, Bro

When I call someone friend, it's for life ... unless that particular friend decides otherwise ... knowwhatamean?

I'm glad you didn't get a lightning bolt through your computer ... might have been kinda nasty.

Right now I'm just south of Newark, NJ at the Thomas Edison Service Plaza on the NJ Turnpike.  I delivered in Newark late this afternoon, and I thought I'd wait 'til morn to try and get a load outa here.

By the by, El Paso is where one of my brothers spent most of his tour of duty as an instructor with the Hawk Air Defense Missile System.  I, myself, specialized in the repair of the Vulcan and Chaparral Air Defense Systems.

Are you familiar with "Puff the Magic Dragon" used in Vietnam?  That was my "baby" ... the Vulcan 20 MM "Gatling gun" ... only there is was used as an air-to-ground system.

For the non-military minded soul, if you ever saw "The Green Berets" with John Wayne, you saw that system in action ... for a few seconds, anyway.  The only way Charlie could have maybe escaped the fury of "Puff" was if he happened to be about the size of a football ... with "maybe" being the operative word.  That wicked little piece of hardware probably kept a lot of our guys alive back then.

By today's Liberal standards, however, that system would probably be considered "inhumane" ... knowwhatamean?

Sorry for the long discourse, but I just love the taste of freedom!  Take care, bro ... and don't put away your wings just yet!

Hi Jimmy , Thought you might find comfort in this lovely prayer.
Hugs,
Geketa
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
             Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
                  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
                       Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
                           other times there were one set of footprints.
 
                                  This bothered me because I noticed
                                that during the low periods of my life,
                             when I was suffering from
                         anguish, sorrow or defeat,
                     I could see only one set of footprints.
 
          So I said to the Lord,
      "You promised me Lord,
         that if I followed you,
             you would walk with me always.
                   But I have noticed that during
                          the most trying periods of my life
                                 there have only been one
                                       set of footprints in the sand.
                                           Why, when I needed you most,
                                         you have not been there for me?"
 
                                 The Lord replied,
                          "The times when you have
                  seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
          is when I carried you."
