A SINGLE FAMILY CAN POLUTE A CITY OR PLANET
ON A FAR AWAY, BACKWARD PLANET WHICH WAS PLAGUED WITH CHRONIC UNEMPLOYMENT AND ASSOCIATED SOCIAL PROBLEMS THERE LIVED MANY UNHAPPY PEOPLE.
ONE SUCH MALCONTENTED FAMILY POOLED ALL OF THEIR RESOURCES AND BOUGHT A USED ROCKETSHIP AND TRAVELED TO THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORING PLANET.
THEY LOCATED ON THE NEW PLANET IN A COMMUNITY ALREADY SETTLED BY A FEW FAMILIES FROM THEIR OLD PLANET.
INSTEAD OF LAUNCHING THEIR NEW LIFE WITH HARD WORK AND COOPERATION, THEY SOUGHT WAYS TO STEAL AND HOODWINK THEIR NEW NEIGHBORS.
AS THEIR FAMILY RAPIDLY GREW SO TOO DID THEIR REPUTATION FOR EVIL AND WICKED BEHAVIOR.
SOON THEIR FAMILY NAME BECAME A BYWORD FOR SHORTCUTS, BRIBES, FIGHTS, AND DRUNKNESS.
THEIR REPUTATION BECAME SO BAD THAT SOME MEMBERS OF THIS BAD FAMILY LIED ABOUT THEIR ANCESTRY.
AFTER MANY DECADES, OTHER FAMILIES FROM THE OLD PLANET CAME TO THE NEW PLANET AND SOUGHT TO CORRECT A VERY BAD SITUATION.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A SINGLE LETTER MAKES
IN GOVERNMENT 101 AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY IN THE FALL OF 1959 OUR YOUNG PROF SAID AT THE OUTSET HE WANTED US TO BE SURE WE SPELLED WORDS CORRECTLY.
AS AN EXAMPLE HE POINTED OUT THE OMISSION OF JUST ONE LETTER IN "PUBLIC" CHANGED THE MEANING COMPLETELY. I FOUND IT STRANGE THAT THE SORORITY GIRLS WHO ALWAYS SAT UP FRONT SEEMED TO GET THE JOKE FIRST. MOST OF US BACK ROW COUNTRY BOYS WERE EITHER TOO DUMB OR TOO EMBARRASSED TO LAUGH.
BY THE WAY, THE PROF WOUND UP DATING ONE OF THE POOR LITTLE GIRLS WHO SAT UP FRONT. SHE WAS A BEAUTY CONTEST WINNER. HER BLONDE BEAUTY WAS SIMPLY ELECTRIC. OF COURSE AT 18, IT DIDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH TO IMPRESS ME! BACK THEN, GIRLS COULD NOT WEAR JEANS OR SLACKS TO CLASS. SHE HAD CLOTHES THAT SHE WORE WELL---VERY WELL !
COUPLE MORE COMMENTS ON GOV 101. I GOT A "D" ON THE FIRST ESSAY EXAM WITH A NOTE THAT I WAS ON THE VERGE OF FLUNKING THE COURSE. SOMETHING INSIDE SAID I COULD DO MORE THAN FLUNK AND GOT WITH AND GOT"A's" ON THE REMAINDER OF THE COURSE AND AN "A" FOR THE COURSE. THIS WAS MAYBE MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AT PURDUE.
THIS GUY WAS A KOREAN WAR VET. HIS HAIR WAS SNOW WHITE AND HE WAS ABOUT 28 YEARS OLD. SEEMS IT WENT WHITE WHILE COMMANDING AN ARMY COMPANY IN KOREA.
HIS OUTSIDE OF CLASS PASSION---BEYOND GIRLS---WAS BOXING. HE WAS A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PROFESSIONAL BOXING TRIVIA.

HICKS, HAYSEEDS, & HILLBILLIES---I LOVE 'EM ALL! v 2.0
Added: The title of this Post is how I was treated---not how I view the real hard workers!
I HAVE THE GREATEST OF RESPECT FOR MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE CHAPPED HANDS AND SUNBURNED NECKS. THESE FOLKS BUILT AMERICA AND KEEP IT RUNNING.
MOST PEOPLE WITH MANUAL SKILLS ARE WILLING AND EAGER TO EXPLAIN THE WORKINGS OF THEIR TRADE IN TERMS EVEN AN OLD MAN LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND. VERY FEW HAVE EVER TRIED TO SNOW ME WITH HOW MUCH THEY KNOW.
SADLY, THAT DOES NOT HOLD TRUE FOR THE WHITE SHIRTS AND TIES CROWD. RECENTLY, A SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF A LARGE REGIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION CALLED ME AND EARLY ON HE STRESSED HE KNEW MORE ABOUT MY PROBLEM THAN I DID.
AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE "SHIRT" ACKNOWLEDGED THE INSTITUTION, NOT ME, WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HE FINALLY THANKED ME FOR DISCOVERING A MAJOR FLAW IN THEIR OPERATING PROCEDURES.
BEING TWO DOWN, MR. VICE PRESIDENT PROCEEDED TO TELL ME HOW HE HAD ALL OF HIS BILLS PAID OUT OF HIS ACCOUNT EACH MONTH. I MENTIONED THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MY INCOME, THREE GRANDKIDS WE ARE RAISING, AND A SEMI-INVALID WIFE WHO TAKES A TON OF MEDICINE. HE STOPPED REFERRING TO HIS LARGE POSITION.
HE DID AUTHORIZE A SMALL, I MEAN SMALL, GIFT CARD FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HIS OUTFIT HAD CAUSED ME.
I DO NOT RESPOND WELL TO SHIRTS WHO TRY TO IMPRESS ME.
IN CLOSING, HE SAID HE WOULD NOT BE IN HIS OFFICE BETWEEN 11AM-1PM. I SAID THAT I HOPED HE HAD SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT! SILENCE FOLLOWED. I REMARKED THAT I KNEW HOW THINGS WORKED. HE WANTED TO IMPRESS ME WITH THE FACT HE COULD TAKE A TWO HOUR LUNCH! RANCHERS, OIL PATCH WORKERS, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE AMONG THE MANY WHO ARE LUCKY TO GET A 15 MINUTE LUNCH!
OVER THE YEARS, IN THE USAF, BUSINESS, AND 30 PLUS YEARS OF CHURCH WORK. I HAVE SEEN MANY ROCKETS GO UP HIGH AND FAST AND COME DOWN WITH EQUAL SPEED !!!!

A LOVELESS MARRIAGE IS WORSE THAN NO MARRIAGE.
WHAT MAKES THIS POEM SO REVEALING IS THE TRUTH OF THE POEM MAY APPEAR LATE IN LIFE AND AFTER YEARS UPON YEARS OF COLD, HEARTLESS MAKE BELIEVE AND PHONY SHAM. A BAD PLAY CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

HIS LAST LETTER
BY ELLA WILCOX
Well, you are free;
The longed-for, lied-for, waited-for decree
Is yours to-day.
I made no protest--and you had your say,
And left me with no vestige of repute.
"Neglect, abuse, and cruelty" you charge,
With broken marriage-vows. The list was large,
But not to be denied. So I was mute.
The longed-for, lied-for, waited-for decree
Is yours to-day.
I made no protest--and you had your say,
And left me with no vestige of repute.
"Neglect, abuse, and cruelty" you charge,
With broken marriage-vows. The list was large,
But not to be denied. So I was mute.
Now you shall listen to a few plain facts
Before you go out wholly from my life
As some man's wife.
Read carefully this statement of your acts
Which changed the luster of my honeymoon
To somber gloom,
And wrenched the cover from Pandora's box.
Before you go out wholly from my life
As some man's wife.
Read carefully this statement of your acts
Which changed the luster of my honeymoon
To somber gloom,
And wrenched the cover from Pandora's box.
In those first talks
'Twixt bride and groom, I showed you my whole heart;
Showed you how deep my love was and how true;
With all a strong man's feeling I loved you.
(God, how I loved you, my own chosen mate!)
But I learned this
(So poorly did you play your little part):
You married marriage--to avoid the fate
Of having "Miss"
Carved on your tombstone. Love you did not know;
But you were greedy for the showy things
That money brings.
Such weak affection as you could bestow
Was given the provider, not the lover.

Carved on your tombstone. Love you did not know;
But you were greedy for the showy things
That money brings.
Such weak affection as you could bestow
Was given the provider, not the lover.
The knowledge hurt. Keen pain like that is dumb
And masks itself in smiles, lest men discover.
But I was lonely, and the feeling grew
The more I studied you.
Into your shallow heart love could not come;
But yet you loved my love, because it gave
The prowess of a mistress o'er a slave.
You showed your power
In petty tyranny, hour after hour,
Day after day, year after lengthening year;
My tasks, my pleasures, my pursuits were not
Held near or dear,
Or made to seem important in your thought.
My friends were not your friends; you goaded me
By foolish and ignoble jealousy.
Till, through suggestion's laws,
I gave you cause.
The beauteous ideal love had hung
In my soul's shrine,
And worshiped as a something all divine,
With wanton hand you flung
Into the dust. And then you wondered why
My love should die.
And masks itself in smiles, lest men discover.
But I was lonely, and the feeling grew
The more I studied you.

With wanton hand you flung
Into the dust. And then you wondered why
My love should die.
My sins and derelictions cry aloud
To all the world. My head is bowed
Under its merited reproaches. Yours
Is lifted to receive
The sympathy the court's decree insures.
The world loves to believe
In Man's depravity and Woman's worth;
But I am one of many men on earth
Whose loud, resounding fall
Is like the crashing of some well-built wall,
Which those who seek can trace
To the slow work of insects at its base.
To all the world. My head is bowed
Under its merited reproaches. Yours
Is lifted to receive

Be not afraid;
The alimony will be promptly paid.

ELEANOR POWELL--GINGER'S EQUAL !!! V 2.0
OK , I AM CRAZY ABOUT TAP DANCERS FROM THE GREAT MOVIE MUSICALS !
GINGER GETS THE MOST RAVES. WELL DESERVED. BUT ELEANOR POWELL IS VERY SPECIAL. SEE THE FOLLOWING YOU TUBE LINK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veNXiv4kP-c&list=RDveNXiv4kP-c
ELEANOR WAS BY FAR MORE ATHLETIC THAN GINGER. GIVE GINGER A SLIGHT EDGE ON FIGURE. ELEANOR HAD A STAGE PRESENCE THAT GINGER NEVER CAPTURED. ELEANOR SMILE TEN TIMES MORE THAN GINGER. ELEANOR DID MANY SOLO DANCE ROUTINES.
MAYBE IT WAS ELEANOR'S ENERGY, DRIVE, AND SPEAKING EDGE THAT CAUSES ME TO RATE THE TWO AS EQUAL. MAN, COULD SHE EVER TAP DANCE!
GINGER HAD THE BALLET GRACE ELEANOR SEEMED TO LACK.
HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE THE BEST DANCERS IN ALL THE WORLD TO SEE ON FILM AND THE INTERNET.

TREASURE INQUIRIES
UPDATE: PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT THE RUMORED SILVER TREASURE. IT IS MOST LIKELY A PRANK OR JOKE.
I HAVE REMOVED THE POST.
GLENN <><
JUST WEST OF YESTERDAY
VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE: I HAVE RECEIVED INFO THAT THE SILVER MENTIONED IN THIS POST, AND ELSEWHERE, MAY HAVE A CONFEDERATE STATE CONNECTION.
THREE PCHS STUDENTS WERE EXPLORING A WOODED AREA DURING A SUMMER BREAK. THEY ENCOUNTERED A MOUNDED AREA THAT WAS RATHER NARROW AND ABOUT 2-3 FEET HIGH.
THEIR FIRST IMPULSE WAS TO DIG RIGHT IN AND SEE WHAT WAS INSIDE. IT WAS EVIDENT THE MOUND WAS LOCATED ON WHAT WAS OTHERWISE FLAT GROUND IN THE FORREST FLOOR.
WHEN THEY QUIETED THEIR TALKING THEY HEARD A DISTINCT LOW FREQUENCY HUMMING. AT FIRST IT SOUNDED LIKE A HORNET'S NEXT. HOWEVER, IT WAS MUCH LOWER IN FREQUENCY THAN ANY BEE'S NEST THEY HAD EVER HEARD.
THE SOUND SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE MOUND. BUT WHAT WAS IT? REMEMBER THIS WAS YEARS BEFORE INDIANA JONES. NONETHELESS, THE PREVIOUSLY BRAVE TRIO OF TEENAGERS DECIDED TO LEAVE.
I WAS ONE OF THE TRIO. I CANNOT DISCLOSE THE IDENTITY OF THE OTHER TWO---DITTO ON THE MOUND'S LOCATION. (WAS IT THE MUCH RUMORED SILVER TREASURE? DOES INDIANA HAVE AN OAK ISLAND?)
PART OF THE UPDATE: I LOVE GETTING E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS FROM READERS OF THIS BLOG. HOWEVER, I ASK THAT NO ONE CONTACT ME ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MOUND OR TRIO MEMBERS---AN OLD MAN MUST MAINTAIN A FEW SECRETS!

SMOKE CAUSES ME BAD RECOLLECTION
LOUISVILLE
BLAZE EVOKES BAD MEMORIES FOR ME !
THE LIBERTY TIRE RECYCLING FIRE IN LOUISVILLE, KY REMINDED
ME OF A PAINFUL INCIDENT IN MY PAST.
I WAS A PARTICIPANT IN A FIRE NEAR MCKINNEY, KY OVER 60
YEARS AGO. “MY COUSIN AND I CARRIED
TRASH TO A SMOLDERING FIRE BEHIND OUR GRANDPARENTS’ HOUSE. WE PLACED AN OLD
TIRE ON THE TRASH FIRE AND WITHIN SECONDS THICK BLACK SMOKE BILLOWED
HEAVENWARD. MY COUSIN AND I PLACED OUR SHIRTS OVER OUR HEADS AND PRETENDED TO
BE FIREFIGHTERS. WE WOULD RUN THROUGH THE SMOKE WITH SHOUTS OF EXCITEMENT.”
ENTER MY COUSIN’S FATHER WHO NEARLY PULLED MY 12 YEAR OLD ARM
OUT OF SOCKET. HE YELLED AT ME, “THAT SMOKE IS THICK ENOUGH TO MAKE A WELL MAN
SICK MUCH LESS ONE WITH THE ASTHMA!” HE CONTINUED TO GLARE AND YELL AT ME AND
NEVER ONCE SAID ANYTHING TO HIS ASTHMATIC, AND EQUALLY GUILTY, SON.
SOMETIMES THE EVENTS OF OVER HALF A CENTURY AGO COME BACK
WITH PAINFUL SPEED. THE LIBERTY TIRE FIRE SCRAPED THE SCAB OFF OF ONE OF
MY WORST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT ?
Letters To
Editor (Sent to Daily Oklahoman Newspaper 11-6-14)
It took me
awhile in graduate school to grasp the constant mantra of my major professor:
“In life, process is often content.”
Roughly
translated---The way things are done is just as important as what is done.
Tuesday’s election is Exhibit “A” of this profound truth. Yesterday, Americans
cast ballots but no stones. Many politicians were fired but no AK-47’s.
The
Founders’ Constitutional process is the enduring victor in every election.
American heroes from Valley Forge to Fallujah have proudly defended this
priceless process. Our peaceful voting process impacts the entire content of
our lives.
Is this a
great country or what?

THIS APPEARED IN THE SHAWNEE NEWS-STAR: (11-4-14)
Letters to the Editor
Up Front: I am a hardcore, unrepentant, Cold Warrior. My
confession notwithstanding, the Russian Air Force is engaged in a provocative
and very dangerous game of international chicken. Media reports that in 2014
over 100 flights of Russia bombers have probed the airspace of NATO
countries.
What is even more alarming than the three fold increase over
last year is the bombers are operating several thousand miles from the Russian
border. To accomplish this new mission, fighters and refueling aircraft are
accompanying the bombers. These cat and mouse probes have skirted several NATO
countries, as far south as Portugal. Add to this long range “total package”
mission is the bombers have not filed the necessary international flight plans
and they are flying with the aircraft identifiers turned off.
The potential for an accidental shoot down is within “the
pucker factor” range of probability. If NATO is to effectively respond to these
challenges, there must be a major increase in NATO resources---Translated: US
defense spending.
The talking heads on TV tell us the probing flights and the invasion
of the Ukraine is playing well with the Russian people who long for Russia to
regain international super power status. The mix of strengthened Russian
nationalism and massive cuts in US defense spending does not bode well for our
national security.

HAIR BEWARE !
WIND AND LONG HAIR SOMETIME DO NOT MIX. CONSIDER:
While entering Wal-Mart recently a couple was exiting. The woman had very long black hair.
The wind first blew her hair into her face !
The wind next blew her hair into the face of her male friend !
The next huge gust blew her HAIR into the street !

LIFE IS PRECIOUS---TIME MARCHES ON !
Many of the readers of this Blog are 60+ years of age. Somewhere---I do not know where---people develop a heightened concern about acquaintances with whom they have maintained limited contact over the years. Why is that? I suggest the following:
a. Death is rapidly depleting our ranks. If we have something to say, we had better say it now.
b. Each death of classmates and friends, who are about the same age, remind us of our own mortality.
c. For some, friends from the past is all some folks have now. Most people need people---Thanks Barbara Streisand--(Name Dropping---I served with an officer who was in Barbara's high school. )
d. With Eternity in view---life tends to sort out the chaff. People, not things, occupy are thoughts.
I confess: My classmates and friends from high school have always occupied a vital part of my memory. This is a bit strange because I have seen so few of them since we graduated. (My wife and brother frequently accuse me of being stuck in the 50's. I am guilty as charged.)

SOMETIMES LIFE REALLY GETS TOUGH !
As oft stated in this Blog, I was born in Kentucky. I have a sister and other kinfolks who call the Bluegrass Commonwealth home. Therefore it is with considerable pain that I recount the following story.
Wilbur Blanchard, his wife Flo and their six kids , live in a double wide about 12 miles southeast of Prestonsburg, KY. The past three years have been real tough for this family. Wilbur lost his coal mining job at the Big Blue Independent coal mine that was forced to close because of numerous OSHA and EPA violation. Flo lost her part-time cleaning job with the family that owned the now closed mine. They took their 2 million dollars and moved to Florida.
Piece-by-piece their few saleable items were either pawned or sold at eye-watering low prices. Even their 1989 Mercury was sold to buy two ricks of stove wood for the coming winter.
The kids would catch the school bus at the blacktop intersection with their gravel and mud road. Either Wilbur or Flo would walk 2 miles to a Dollar General Store for the few meager items they could afford. Their food stamps always ran out before the calendar turned.
For some, deer hunting was a sport; for the Blanchard’s it was a necessary food source. Wilbur took the 12 gauge that had belonged to his grandfather and walked purposefully into the woods behind their trailer and started to slowly climb up a homemade deer stand that overlooked a major deer trail next to a freshwater spring. Three steps up the old lumber gave way and he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the loaded shotgun didn’t go off. However, Wilbur was knocked semi-conscious and staggered around in the woods for about three hours. As he neared the edge of the woods he spied a rather small buck with a smaller doe standing nearby. He was still addled by the fall but had enough presence of mind to lift the old shotgun and blast the small buck.
He ran to the buck only to discover he had shot a Christmas decoration that was still in someone’s front yard from 10 months ago. Wilbur pulled the wire attached head off and took it home. His wife really became upset when he mounted it on a piece of old dry wall and hung it over the couch that had three springs showing.
His sarcastic brother-in-law came by the next day and said, “Wil, what the h**l happened to
your buck deer in your front yard?

FALL---WORLD SERIES TIME AGAIN !
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE WORLD SERIES WAS A BIG, BIG DEAL. TEACHERS WOULD LET US LISTEN TO THE SERIES IN THE STUDY HALL.
THE GAMES WERE SPONSORED BY GILLETTE RAZORS AND BLADES. STARTING AROUND LABOR DAY THE COMPANY WOULD ATTACH A SMALL BOOK OF SERIES STATS TO THEIR PRODUCTS.
MEL ALLEN--VOICE OF YANKEES---WAS THE ONLY ANNOUNCER USED FOR THE GAMES. ONE YEAR WHEN THE DODGERS DEFEATED THE YANKEES IT SOUNDED AS IF GOOD OLD MEL WAS ABOUT TO CRY.
THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE FROM TODAY IS THE GAMES WERE ALL PLAYED DURING THE DAY, (TV CONTROLS ALL OF THE BROADCASTS NOW--ALL GAMES AT NIGHT.)
I WOULD PILE UP A STACK OF LEAVES AND SLIDE INTO THEM. EACH SLIDE SCORED THE WINNING RUN IN MY MAKE BELIEVE MIND.
IT IS PROBABLY TRUE---ONCE A MAN AND TWICE A BOY. GEE---THOSE WERE GREAT DAYS !

OLD TRUTH IS THE BEST KIND
From Randy Travis' "Forever and ever amen"
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
Sure makes sense to me. My sister is a big Randy Travis fan. I like much of his music. However, I am still trying to figure out why he was twice busted for driving nude !!!

CHANGED ? ------ELLA WILCOX
Changed? Yes, I will confess it – I have changed.
I do not love you in the old fond way.
I am your friend still – time has not estranged
One kindly feeling of that vanished day.
But the bright glamour which made life a dream,
The rapture of that time, its sweet content,
Like visions of a sleeper’s brain they seem –
And yet I cannot tell you how they went.
Why do you gaze with such accusing eyes
Upon me, dear? It is so very strange
That hearts, like all things underneath God’s skies,
Should sometimes feel the influence of change?
The birds, the flowers, the foliage of the trees,
The stars which seem so fixed, and so sublime,
Vast continents, and the eternal seas, -
All these do change, with ever-changing time.
The face our mirror shows us year on year
Is not the same; our dearest aim, or need,
Our lightest thought, or feeling hope, or fear,
All, all the law of alternation heed.
How can we ask the human heart to stay,
Content with fancies of Youth’s earliest hours?
The year outgrows the violets of May,
Although, maybe, there are no fairer flowers.
And life may hold no sweeter love than this,
Which lies so cold, so voiceless, and so dumb,
And will I miss it, dear? Why, yes, we miss
The violets always – till the roses come!

QUERIES----ELLA WILCOX
QUERIES
Well, how has it been with you since we met
That last strange time of a hundred times?
When we met to swear that we could forget---
I your caresses, and you my rhymes---
The rhyme of my lays that rang like a bell,
And the rhyme of my heart with yours, as well? How has it been since we drank that last kiss,
That was bitter with lees of the wasted wine;
When the tattered remains of a threadbare bliss,
And the worn-out shreds of a joy divine,
With a year's best dreams and hopes, were cast
Into the ragbag of the Past? Since Time, the rag-buyer, hurried away
With a chuckle of glee at the bargain made,
Did you discover, like me, one day,
That hid in the folds of those garments frayed
With priceless jewels and diadems---
The soul's best treasures, the heart's best gems? Have you, too, found that you could not supply
The place of those jewels so rare and chaste?
Do all that you borrow, or beg, or buy,
Prove to be nothing but skilful paste?
Have you found pleasure, as I find art,
Not all sufficient to fill your heart? Do you sometimes sigh for that tattered shreds
Of the old delight that we cast away,
And find no worth in the silken threads
Of newer fabrics we wear to-day?
Have you thought the bitter of that last kiss
Better than sweets of a later bliss? What idle queries!---or yes or no---
Whatever your answer, I understand
That there is no pathway by which we can go
Back to the dead past's wonderland;
And the gems he purchased from me and you,
There is no rebuying, from Time the jewel
That last strange time of a hundred times?
When we met to swear that we could forget---
I your caresses, and you my rhymes---
The rhyme of my lays that rang like a bell,
And the rhyme of my heart with yours, as well? How has it been since we drank that last kiss,
That was bitter with lees of the wasted wine;
When the tattered remains of a threadbare bliss,
And the worn-out shreds of a joy divine,
With a year's best dreams and hopes, were cast

With a chuckle of glee at the bargain made,

SUMNER, ROGER BENETT, GEORGE YOUNCE, GLEN PAYNE, JIM HAMELL, ELDRIDGE FOX, DANNY GAITHER----I COULD GO ON FOR SEVERAL MORE PAGES. THEY ARE GONE---BUT I SHALL EVER REMEBER THEM.
I GUESS I CAN CONNECT MANY OF THE DOTS IN MY LIFE BY THE GREAT SOUTHERN GOSPEL SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS.
HOW FORTUNATE AND BLESSED I WAS TO HEAR AND SEE THESE GAINTS OF THE FAITH.

HOW BAD CAN IT GET ????? (True Story)
I know a fellow here in OK that seems to be surrounded with Bad Luck. Consider:
*Shortly after he was married, his wife's son took their car and they were on the hoof.
*When they got their car back her son was sentenced to the Joint for an outstanding warrant.
*My friend's new wife was speeding and was arrested because she had two outstanding warrants in another state. My friend knew nothing of his wife's checkered past.
* She spent two years in the Joint in another state.
*In an effort to get away from her bad son they moved about sixty miles away.
*After they moved, the jobs they were promised fell through.
*When I last saw him they had moved back because they had pawned all they had and had no money and no place to stay.
*Here's where this sad story gets as sad as it can get for an Oklahoman----He had to pawn his saddle and has no money to redeem it.
*He has a good spirit and says, "We are starting over with nothing!!!!!"

Some Additional Quotes On Time
Time is painted with a lock before, and bald behind, signifying thereby that we must take time by the forelock; for, when it is once past, there is no recalling it. ~Jonathan Swift
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain. ~William Hazlitt, On the Love of Life, 1815
Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness. ~Jean de La Bruyère

When The Curtain Comes Down
When the curtain finally comes down

Or will some applaud one noble act
The next venue will have an eternal run
No seats just bowed knees before the Son

SOLITUDE---Timeless Poem---Timeless Theme
SOLITUDE
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

HIGH TECH CROOKS !!!!!!!!
AFTER BEING TOLD MY COMPUTER WAS TOAST, I PAID FOR THE EVALUATION AND WAS PREPARING TO GET ANOTHER COMPUTER.
WITH NOTHING TO LOSE, I BOUGHT A NEW AC POWER CORD AND OPENED THE LAPTOP AND RESEATED ALL OF THE OBSERVABLE COMPONENTS. GUESS WHAT? IT WORKS!
HERE'S THE REALLY SAD PART. THE REPAIR GUYS STOLE HALF OF MY RAM MEMORY WHILE IT WAS IN THE SHOP. WONDER HOW MUCH THAT NETTED?
I HAVE ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT RAM AND VOWED TO NEVER DEAL WITH THESE GUYS AGAIN. I HAVE KNOWN THEM FOR TWO DECADES!!!!
GUESS WE HAVE ANOTHER AXIOM OF LIFE HERE: NEVER USE A COMPANY TO REPAIR YOUR LAPTOP THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS !!!!
NOT ALL OF THE GOOD OLD BOYS IN OKLAHOMA ARE GOOD AFTER ALL !!!!
