It's 3 a.m. this morning...I wake up and look at the ceiling of my sleeper...thinking about the dreams I'd just been having. I sit up...rub my eyes...rub my face with my hands...and think how good it was to visit with my parents again. They died almost 3 years ago...and I sometimes see them in my dreams. When I was a young man...I wondered why older people slept so much. Had figured it was because they needed more rest. And maybe there is some truth to that....but I think there might be more to it. When they sleep...older folks visit better days from the past in their dreams...they visit those who they miss dearly that have passed on before them. Sleep...hmmm... It reminds me of a French expression. I won't try to write it in French...lol but the expression is "One who sleeps...eats!" It means...if you are really hungry...you will eat in your dreams. I was told that during the World Wars, that food was often scarce and parents would tell their children this expression to get them to go to sleep. Dreams...my dreams...where I visit with my dead parents and friends who have already taken the "Big Scary" ahead of me. As a Christian...I believe Death is our Third Birth. Our first is when we venture out into the world through our Mother's womb. Our second birth is when we accept Christ as Our Savior. But...our Third Birth is when we leave this old shell of a body...and we are no longer trapped in space or time. We can go and visit all the places we always dreamed of...or revisit places and events that happened in our lifetimes and before. Dreams...in my dreams...and as I grow older...I no longer fear Mr. Death...as I am sure when the time comes...I'll be welcomed on the otherside by those I love. It is time for bed...and dreams...

I rolled out of Bordentown, NJ in the early morning hours this morning. Up the New Jersey Turnpike...and hung a right on Interstate 278 towards Staten Island. Across the Goethals Bridge...the Verrazona Narrows Bridge...and dropped down on the island. New York City...sleeping...traffic is light. I enjoy traveling at this hour...you don't have to concentrate so much...you can relax and look around you. As I round the corner in Brooklyn...I have a good view of New York City...The Statue of Liberty glowing...watching Gotham...always on guard. The skyline of Manhattan...the lower part of the Island...the Twin Towers no longer there. The Empire State Building all lit up..it's a new day. I travel to West Hampton out on Long Island on 495...and deliver a load of solar panels. And as I head back to cross the Throgs Neck & George Washington Bridges to leave the city...I listen to the swearing in of the new Speaker of the House. A lump in my throat... With tears in my eyes..I ask God to give this new Congress the courage to do what is right for our country. To cut the spending...to eventually reduce our taxes...and turn this failing country around. I love America...served six years in the Army...and I'd die for this country... but we need to get back on track...get back to letting Freedom Ring...encouraging business and not penalizing people who are successful. These confiscatory policies of the Progressives must end...if we are to survive as a nation. It's a new day...I pray these newly elected representatives stay true to their word and do what is best for America. May God Bless America...again.

Have you played any of the games at myboomerplace? I found myself checking them out today...and laughed until it hurt. If you are into Political Correctness...don't check them out. But I pride myself in being Politically Incorrect...and some of the games were really funny. Like...Short Bus Rampage, where you drive a school bus and the object is to run over the kids. This is an adult site...but I was surprised to see this game on here. Then it got worse...or better...or whatever.??? Drive By...a game where you hang out the car window and shoot people on the street. Border Patrol...a game where you shoot illegal aliens as they cross the Rio Grande...and at the end it tells you how many "Wet Backs" you capped. Okay...I know it shows I'm really a wacked out guy, but I found some of these games really amusing. I mean...I was not prepared to see such Politically Incorrect games on here. Of course...I had to play Frogger...and that's where you are a frog and try to get across a busy road while dodging cars and trucks. You eventually get squished on the highway... Hmmm...guess if I was a frog I might not find it so funny. So...just cause I brought it to your attention...I don't want all you frogs out there to start writing letters of complaint or contacting the site administration.lol Okay...so I've got a weird sense of humor...lol. Maybe it's because I'm 18 hours into a 3 Stooges Marathon...and I'm totally warped at this point. The games helped pass the time today...as I'm hunkered down in my truck and it's like 6 degrees outside. Too danged cold! Man...I must be bored...I'm blogging about games. LOL Has anyone else ever thought that the 3 Stooges resemble our Government? Larry, Moe & Curley... Obama, Pelosi & Reid. Hmmm...I guess Shep would have to be Osama Joe Biden.lol Anyway...back to the Stooges...Whoop, whoop, whoopwhoopwhoop! LOL

So...I've spent my New Years Day watching 12 hours of The 3 Stooges. That effects a person...and I can't figure out if I want to thump somebody on the noggin with a hammer or jab them in the eyes with two fingers.lol Instead...I'll write about this guy that called into Coast To Coast the other night claiming John Lennon was shot by Stephen King and Nixon and Reagan were in on the conspiracy.??? Where do people come up with this stuff? Did they watch too many episodes of The 3 Stooges?lol I mean...of all the wacked out conspiracy theories I've heard... Anyway...guess it's time to go get some dinner. I've had a nice restful day. Happy New Year My Friends.

If you bought a piece of property that had an old house on it…and you wanted to build a new house…would you build on top of the old house? Or would you first tear down the old house and then build your new house? Before you can build a new house…you must first tear down and destroy the old house…and that is what Barack Hussein Obama is doing. Progressive/Marxist President Barack Obama is spending this country into insolvency on purpose…to destroy America…then he can create the New Progressive States Of America. The last spending measure the Democrats pushed through, which was only two weeks ago…added almost a TRILLION DOLLARS to our debt in just one day! Do you have any idea how much a TRILLION DOLLARS is? The Democratic Party has been working hard to destroy this country since they lost the Civil War! And they have just about accomplished their goal. Are the Democrats alone in this venture? Nope…many RINO Republicans have helped them along the way. America needs to really cut the spending. Stop foreign aid and take care of our own back yard and stop funding these countries that hate our guts anyway. That would be a step in the right direction anyway. It’s pretty simple…if you support Obama…you support ending America…because Obama has spent more money in two years than GW Bush spent in his whole eight years in Office. Obama has lied about everything. He said he would not raise taxes on anyone unless they earned over $250,000 a year, and yet there are 13 taxes hidden in the Health Care Bill that effect everyone…no matter how much money you earn. Obama is a liar…and has been from day one. If Obama is an American Citizen…why did he renew his Indonesian Passport in 1981 and declare he was a Citizen of Indonesia? You people that support Obama…you’ve fallen for the biggest scam that has ever been pulled on the American People in the History of this Country…

I just woke up from pulling a 24 hour lease in the cab. Three people I met are still on my mind. The woman who was about fifrty years old complaining that she won't get her Gub'ment check until like the 3rd because of how the days were falling in line with the holidays. I picked her up and trannsported her on a Gub'ment voucher, where the Gub'ment was paying the fare to move her to and from the Doctor. She complained how the Gub'ment does not care about the people...hmmm...go figure. She was ungrateful to a Country that paid for everything in her life. She told me how she was proud that she had never worked a job in her whole adult life. The other person was a guy who told me his Christmas does not come until late January or early February when he got his income tax return. When I told him I'd heard that soon people would receive a Savings Bond instead of an income tax return her got pretty angry. With a Savings Bond you only receive 75% of the face value if you cash it in right away. He said, "I hate this Country...I hate America!" To which I replied..."Where you gonna go?" "Can you tell me another country that treats their citizens better than America?" All this paying taxes and then returning them and redistributing the money is so ignorant. How about just having us each pay 5% of our income to the Gub'ment and not do the redistribution thing. And use that 5% to really do good things for the Country instead of giving it away in Foreign Aid to countries that hate our guts anyway. The third person was a Mother of two young boys about 6 & 9 years old. I picked them up at a Children's Behavior Clinic and she was using the counting method to get them to mind. She would tell them to do something and if they did not do it...she would start counting to three. The boys would continue doing whatever they were doing wrong while she calmly counted one...two...three. The boys would put her through this ritual each time, forcing her to count to three and not stopping their behavior until she reached three. Her youngest son had lowered the electric window on his side of the car. His Mom started counting and I only let her get to the number two...and I used the master controls that I have as a driver and raised the window up and hit the lockout feature to keep him from rolling it down again. His Mom did not appreciate what I'd done...but I was tired of hearing this game being played on the thirty minute car ride. My own Mother did not play the counting game. If she walked through the house and told you to pick something up...you jumped to it and did it right now. No Counting. Mama would have Dad's belt hanging around her neck and you did what she said immediately or she'd sting yer butt but good. What this woman was teaching her kids was to push authority to the limit and just before they come down on them to act innocent and hope for compassion. This Liberal bullshit does not work in the real world. Excuse my language. Those kids are destined for prison...in my opinion. My own parents taught us kids right...and how to be productive adults. Could you imagine these boys trying to work a job...their Boss telling them to stop doing something and they continue doing it because of the training they had with the counting method? Or a work place accident. Imagine a Foreman yelling, "Get Out Of The Way!" And the kid thinks..."he only said it once." The Foreman yells get out of the way again...and the kid just stands there...thinking he must say it one more time....the third time. That's when a dump truck runs over him from behind before the foreman can get to the third warning. Teach your children well. The Hell with the Liberal crap...teach them to do what they are told the first time...and they've got a chance at being successful. That's my opinion anyway. God Bless America!

I came home on leave from the Army for Christmas while I was stationed in Germany. This was around 1977... We had our Christmas Day and I still had about a week left of leave...so I got in my car and drove about 200 miles south and visited an old Army Buddy that had been home about a year. We had a nice visit...drank a little beer...and the next day I started home. As I drove through the countryside with snow all around...I passed a bum walking down the edge of the road. He was not sticking his thumb out...just walking...stumbling along. I stopped the car and asked if he would like a ride in the direction we were both traveling. He thanked me and got in the passenger seat. Well...I asked him where he was going...and he said he had no real destination...he was just walking until he died! And then he told me his story. Twenty years before...he had been President of a Bank. He had all the money he could ever want...a beautiful home with a wife and two daughters. One evening...while he was out cheating on his wife and drinking...his house burned down and his wife and daughters died in the fire. He pulled in the driveway of his house and the Fire Department was doing the best they could...but it was too late. After his family was buried...he really started hitting the bottle...lost his job...and eventually just started walking. He'd walked for twenty years...wishing he had the courage to step out in front of the next car that came by and ending his life. The guilt that he was out on the town doing so wrong...while his family died such a horrible death was too much for him to deal with. I let him out at the Salvation Army in Springfield, IL. giving him ten bucks and wishing him the best. I explained that Jesus forgave him and drove the last couple hours home...thinking about the encounter. Cherish each moment you have with your families...and always do what is right. I guess that is what I learned that day. I've spent a lifetime gathering these stories...it does my heart good to share them like this. Peace to all...and I hope the old guy made his peace also.
