Well, let me try this again. Sorry about writing only a few lines and running out, thought I would have more time to finish writing before my sister got here - but I was wrong.
First, let me say thank you to everyone that asked after Joe and Big Red. They have both come through this ordeal in pretty good fashion. We got the truck back, totally repaired just the other day..the only thing that they still have to do is some undercarriage body work and paint.
Looking at the truck from up above you would never know that it had been involved in an accident like that. The repair shop did a tune up, changed belts all kinds of extra's and sure enough the engine sounds great, purrs like a kitten. Now as far as driving goes we need a little break from idiot drivers aiming at us..that would be good.
Sometimes I feel just like the little critter up above fighting to get out of a paper bag. I hear or read the news and I think.."Am I crazy? Or is the world going nuts?"
Our Chief Resident Cowboy has out done himself this time. We are spending billions, not to mention our guys dying, to promote freedom in countries that really do not know what it means and really don't seem to want it. To the south of us we are letting ourselves be over run with illegals...and we are told that we need to let them in because only they would do the jobs they do.
What kind of an excuse is that? It's not that they are the only ones to do such work..it's the owners of the large produce farms who keep the wages low, so that they have a higher bottom line for themselves...it all ties into big business. We were supposed to be trade partners with Mexico...well, our plants relocated, jobs went south for sure. What came North? Hungry people looking for work and sending more than 2 billion dollars out of this country back into Mexico. Hey, that works for their economy don't you think?
He just seems to want to be in the hot seat all the time. The business with the major ports being run by an Arab country is crazy. I know that the British Company that had won the lease for the ports was taken over, however, don't you think an important lease like this one would contain escape clauses to the effect that if the company changed hands the lease would be null and void. I can't believe that something like that was not written into the lease.
Rooting, shooting First Cowboy has now turned his attention to India & Pakistan. Let's see now, the last time I called for help with my Dell I had a rather hard time understanding the Dell employee I was talking to...the Indian dialect was just too heavy. So many American companies are outsourcing over there because the pay scale is unbelievably low. Our wonderful & wise leader has also decided that we must share our nuclear (fun word) knowledge regarding power plants with India to bring them into a better position to trade with the world. Huh??
This is all being done in the name of what? How long can we keep on loosing companies, money, people and still maintain our own economy? I for one feel like we are under attack on so many levels...while our leader just goes around patting everyone's head like we are little children.
Yeah right...I just got a picture of Hanzel & Gretel in my head, nibbling at the candy house, just to get fattened up.
Anyway this is my view and I'm sticking with it.
PS/I am not against anyone, anywhere bettering themselves - just don't use me & mine as stepping stones to get there.
