It's not the happiest time for me right now but, still, time to be thankful. Found this version of Thanksgiving Thankfulness with Johnny Cash. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Sorry, Ellen. You did explain to me some of the tough things you're experiencing w/some of your friends. Maybe an uplift--look at my pics I uploaded. One is of Amy's friend stopping at Honey Boo Boo's house & her mother and sister came out & took pictures w/her. Hope you get a laugh out of that one. Her friend is so shy that I can't believe she went to the door--but her friends were coaxing her along!

Well, Honey Boo Boo is a little brat that was on a beauty show for kids Toddlers & Tiaras--can't even remember. At any rate, her Mother decided to do a reality show and they are the biggest hill billlies going. Had to watch it a couple times but couldn't stand to see what slobs they are. Other daughter has a baby and not married. At any rate, that was the joke of Amy's friend to stop by & actually get pictures w/the mother and daughter. Lots of people have heard of her but can't even believe that they actually watch the show. They dumpster dive for clothes and shoes. Unbelievable! Anyway, that's who Honey Boo Boo is. People will do anything to get on TV I guess.

As Wyoming winds flow across mountain plains,
And Arizona breezes fan along the arid sea,
Rustling through long rows of desert cane,
Weaving amid the prairie lands with ease,
Continuous breaths of air meandering on forever,
Embracing those who wander their paths,
In endless friendship with the earth together,
Wind, mountains, dry lands and grass,
Are entwined as companions eternally.
Distance and time cannot break this bond,
Of wind, plains, prairie and desert sea,
Nor that of friendships so strongly wound,
Together in shifting zephyrs without end.
Rest in peace, my forever friend.

Tax the Rich!

Other than Superman, my favorite comic book was Uncle Scrooge McDuck. His vault full of cash always impressed me. Luckily, now that I have my own vault, Flop Ears and the Storm Troopers from the IRS haven't figured out a way to confiscate all my loot. I may be a loaded one percenter but they can't touch me.

Sure, Jug Head can raise income taxes on the rich and everyone else. He can steal your IRAs and leave a worthless IOU for an annuity when you retire at age 80. The Tax and Spenders may take 90% of your savings, capital gains, dividends and financial transactions to pay for some more of their infamous social programs. The Taxer-in-Chief may take (wealth taxes) real estate taxes from the coffers of your lily white suburban enclave and give it to ghetto dwellers and trailer trashers. They can take 55% of your money when you die and dig up your corpse and pull out your gold teeth.

They can do all those things and more but they can't touch me. I have all my money in cash in my McDuck vault. HaHaHaHaHaHa!! Even the Beagle Boys can't touch me. HaHaHa...er...Who's knocking at the vault door and why are those helicopters flying overhead?.

Belated RIP for Jeff Clark. I happened to catch his pasing while reading one of Bruce's posts. I had made peace with Jeff during our 30th reunion as I admitted to him that whenever I had gotton into trouble as a youth I told people that my name was Jeff Clark. If I got caught pegging rotton apples at a car for example and the driver yelled, "Hey kid what's your name?" I would always respond, "Jeff Clark!" "I'm telling your parents", they would say. Poor Jeff got blamed for many deeds he didnt actually do. So I apoloigized for ruining his life.

I came a long way since then and haven't used Jeff Clark's name in decades. I have claimed to be JOHN DAWSON whenever I got into trouble ever since.

Bucket List

I've been fortunate to witness a lot of amazing things in my life. The birth of my children and grandchildern are at the top of that list. I've also seen the Great Pyramid at Giza, sunrise over Manchu Picchu and a Helicopter view of Haleakala. I skied the Alps, dived the Great Barrier Reef, climbed Mount McKinley and hiked the Appalachia Trail. The 180 degree rainbow over the Pitons was beautiful as well as the night drop over Dinh Bin Phu.

There's not much left on my bucket list but one thing in particular comes to mind. I see a Peate twin under each arm and a Barb Jacobus and Holly Portz hanging on my neck as well as a few other RRHS63 cuties watching as they wrestle me to the ground and all start beating me with their fists. "Why didn't you call me back" and "Act like a man, you coward!" is the shout from the girls as the sound of fists beating me to a bloody pulp competes with the shouting. Then the girls start kicking me with their pointy high heeled shoes. I rise above my body and look down on a bloody smiling broken toothed face and realize that I can now die in peace with the completion of my bucket list. Ah yes, maybe at the 50th!!.

I gave an intruder a real Texas welcome last night and he'll be picking rock salt out of his butt for awhile. He ran out the front door and took off with a pack of wild dogs. I managed to wing one of them, a strange dog with horns and a red nose. He'll look good stuffed and hanging over the old fireplace.

The fat intruder stole some food. It was the milk and cookies that my grandkids left out. He sure made a mess too. There's black soot. everywhere. I wonder what he was looking for up the chimney? He left some colorful boxes too so I guess I'll have to call the bomb squad to check them out.

Merry Christmas yo'all!!
