I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.
From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.
Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.
Yes there are changes and I have had every intention of posting on that and I will very soon. Fly is alive along with a positive attitude. The "news" and people's priorities leave me in a huge funk and if I were posting the message would be the same and then I'd get this shit "oh you're so negative". Sooo take a look at what's below.
I'll be bok!
There is nothing to fear here. There's two obvious reasons these snakes are called Red Racers. The
first one is obvious. Others I've seen are lightning fast. This one was
not that. Pretty impressive animal.
It's these guys one needs to be aware of. This is the second rattlesnake I've come upon this year. The other was was six feet off my left shoulder when walking out back.
The same post for 013 as previous years. I miss my Dad.
The
best to all Father's out there and I know most of you hold your
children very close to your heart. Here is one of my favorite pictures
of my Dad taken in France in 1945. Enjoy your day.
FROM LAST YEAR
Happy
Father's Day to all the dad's out there. I am not one and my dad is
gone so the best to all of you guys out there. I bet my blogger friends
who are fathers have some great kids. I miss my dad!
FROM '08
This
is the first Father's Day I will not be making that call. I claim my
Father's brother Rollie as a substitute Dad for this year. What I miss
most is making those calls on a whim just to bs.
The picture is a one shot deal. Up for a day only for the obvious
reason. Taken next to the cornfield over two years ago the one I grew up
in and my Dad farmed. Dad's name was Paul. NOTE The picture is back and will remain.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE GREAT FATHERS OUT THERE!
Dad is gone-Uncle Rollie's pooch gone-just found out another long time friend gone at 47-a first cousin soon to be gone-Tim Russert bang, gone at 58 my age-Mom's side of the family having a history of being gone just like that.
May
not be related to Father's Day but very much value the close and few
friendships I have and that includes relationships on the highway of the
internets those that are the most informed of all.
Given
the fragility of life every once in a while and the importance some
put on theirs it's good to put things in perspective now and then.
After all none of us are no more than piss ants in time. I love this
video.
Same as last year and the year before that. The post for this day will never change.
Paulinewrote I saw 'Je dois tout a ma mère' painted on a taxi bumper today. I owe my mother everything. Mothers are held in high esteem -- a woman who has never borne a child is a disgrace to womanhood. Street boys will say 'la vieille mère' to impart their respect. It took some time getting used to that. Old Mother. What if they tried that in Europe?
That reminded me of the song Sweet Motherbelowthat had the power to literally stop crowds in their tracks to dance if it was played. Mothers are very important in West Africa and Prince Nico hammered the essence of that in the middle 70's.
Oh Sweet Mother I no go forget you oh as I am missing mine just now.
Happy Mother's Day
By Prince Nico Mbarga
1976
Sweet mother I no go forget you
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
Sweet mother I no go forget you
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
When I dey cry, my mother go carry me--she go say,
my pikin [1] wetin you dey cry ye, ye,
stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again oh."
When I won sleep, my mother go pet me,
she go lie me well well for bed,
she cover me cloth, sing me to sleep,
"sleep sleep my pikin oh."
When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down.
she go find me something when I go chop [2] oh.
Sweet mother I no go forget you for the suffer wey you suffer for me
When I dey sick, my mother go cry, cry, cry,
she go say instead when I go die make she die.
O, she go beg God,
"God help me, God help, my pikin oh."
If I no sleep, my mother no go sleep,
if I no chop, my mother no go chop, she no dey tire oh.
Sweet mother I no go forget you,
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
You fit get another wife, you fit get another husband,
but you fit get another mother? No!
And if I forget you, therefore I forget my life and the air I breathe.
And then on to you men, forget, verily, forget your mother,
for if you forget your mother you've lost your life.
Yes I would if I lived in the area and had to be outside or was vulnerable in any way. You don't stand a chance even with a weapon when animals and in this case four are coming hard at you with the intention of hurting you bad and maybe killing you as in this case.
On one of the three kidnappers Facebook page. I can only imagine what he thinks is a miracle.
He was a "good guy". He was this - he was that. I could care less.
Please can we get this out of the limelight quickly instead of showing the rest of the world just how exceptional we are and how important it is to have a god involved to point us in the right direction.
Meanwhile we have a totally dysfunctional government with many who are in it who believe in miracle's from the same guy the kidnapper does.
This shit ain't right and it's plain to see the god thing doesn't cut it. I share in the happiness of these girls. It's ended and they survived. That looks huge right now from here anyway.
How many of the gun people who are in fear of losing "something" are TBaggers.
How many attending the convention this weekend are from the right and how many are on the left.
How many are there like myself who have guns but do not ponder "losing"them or something else for even a second.
Whether it is this issue or any of the other biggies this country is so divided it in many ways is war like with rhetoric to match and actions that identify with it.
There is no changing of minds either. We are in it now for the duration along with a government that is just as incapable of any intelligent dialog.
Answers? Sure just like you have. So what. Who listens anyway. Oh - "you're so negative". Give it a break it's called Reality and it sure sucks these days.
I wonder what the parents think about these deaths and if any express those thoughts to the rest of the public. Their own and the others that died the same month in Afghanistan.
Then the recent plane crash that killed a bunch of contractors. Sure get to see their faces a bunch. Not much is said these days about contractors and how many there are and what they do.
Few give a shit and those that do are not listened to.
The was this family who had a fabrication business and when break time came no matter how busy all stopped at once and had a break in the break room. I hung out there some as that was part of my job back then.
Discussion at times would center around what was charged for work done and the response from who was getting charged and what they had to say. Depending on any number criteria like who it was, past history, attitude possibly, was it a emergency, things like that a price was arrived at. More than once when a response was described of someones maybe negative reaction to what he was charged you might hear back "You made him squeal just right". I happen to think that's funny as hell. I got to squeal a couple times myself.
In respect to the implementation of Amendment 64 you have a guy who has a D in front of his name wanting and will probably get a 30% tax on marijuana.
People need to be made safe from your stupidity. Mentality from the early 20th century.
Then at a national level you have our so called buds who have the D's in front of their name again going after internet sales tax. They will get it. Thanks again you pricks.
Yup - the squealing you hear is me and it's a lot more than "just right"! It's wrong.
