In what ways do you communicate online?
Being of the Gen X era I still prefer to actually have a conversation, other than family in Great Britain which the rare and infrequent communication is via facebook. I do communicate with text messages because of its ease and relative concise nature.
Think back on your most memorable road trip.
Every “road trip” I remember always had a purpose of relocating, working or retrieving something never just family fun. 2011 I drive from Milwaukee WI to Phoenix AZ in 26 hours straight through without stopping, in 1987 I drove from Seattle WA to Maryland in 40 hours without taking a break… dumb drive but at the time felt necessary. All my long drives are memorable just by the fact that I survived to talk about them.
What snack would you eat right now?
My favorite snack is dried fruit, mangos, cranberries, banana and plantain chips. Satisfies the sweet without spiking you blood sugar.

We are hearing more of the threat language coming from the liar. If things don’t go in his favor we will have bedlam in the streets. When you believe that you have a right to tell everyone else how they will act, and that you must be treated as a God and you don’t get your way, then your followers will take to the streets and create problems.
His remarks have caused false reports that the police have reacted to in the case of the judges and others that are not pro Trump. So it may be productive to have false calls visited on Trump and his properties, family, alias and friends. Let them feel like there is a target stuck on their backs and see how long it takes to end the problem or cause it to be ramped up to the point that legal action can be taken.
He has an issue before the court to have immunity granted for the acts committed while in office. If he is granted Presidential Immunity then all Presidents have it and they should have Seal Team 6 or whoever start the process of eliminating all that stand with Trump and Trump as well. As has been stated before, “Be careful what you ask for”. If one can play the game to basically do his opponents in then the other side can as well. Great idea and we can definitely drain the swamp or fill it in with bodies, whichever.
That action would not only lead to war in the streets but the nation should just get ready to go down the tubes. I know that his request is that it only applies to him because he is after all the greatest thing since the birth of Jesus. That is another fault he has, claiming to be religious yet his actions say that he believes in and lives for only one being, himself.
It is hoped that all the pumped up MAGA dolts that have made themselves known will be on a watch list when he is denied the immunity that he is hoping for. It is also hoped that the force watching these idiots is ready to eliminate them as they enter the street and attempt to make their wishes paramount. The outcome of this call to violence needs to be the demise of those dumb enough to try and bring that violence to the street instead of keeping it in the dark recesses of their befuddled minds.
Does this seem mean and unjust? Keep in mind that the instigator of this nonsense is the same one that caused Jan 6 to take place and as yet he has shown no remorse about it and will show none over casualties of this call to violence either.
Come up with a crazy business idea.
Wouldn’t call any of my ideas crazy just overly ambitious. HHH ranch is doable but ambitious with a lot of working parts as a non profit service oriented business. My grandest idea a 300+ mile water desalination pipeline from Baja California through the Sonoran desert to Yuma Arizona that would bring water back to the desert and create countless jobs and opportunities on both sides of the Mexico boarder. Problem is it needs to be a public works project on the scale of the interstate highway system.
Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
As a child with an Army NCO father we relocated often so no priority was put on nostalgic possessions. I know sounds sad for a child but memories and experiences last far longer than a childhood woobie.

The following of a specific idiom can be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing depending on the point of view of the observer. Most people have a team, a faith or an ideal that they not only follow but will protect if anyone challenges them about those things.
Have you observed the absolute stupidity of raden fans of a sports team, or the length people go to to attend a golf tournament? One’s heroes are another item of the list of hard to change even in the face of proof that the hero is corrupt. Had a man tell me his hero was O.J. Simpson and even after admitting to his crimes this man refused to believe it. Trump is one of those icons to a great number of people that even with all his proven faults is considered worthy of loyalty.
It can be called a cult or possibly even a faith or religion, because like every major gatherer of the folk, be it Billy Graham, or Jim Jones, or Osama bin Laden or Donald Trump they were and are really good snake oil salesmen and they have a following. Were any of them beneficial to society, that is a question. Graham was considered a great faith instructor, Jim Jones was just a man with a dream that turned into a nightmare, and bin Laden was a leader that caused hell on earth to erupt. Trump is attempting to top the pot because he wants to destroy a nation and turn it into a playground for the rich at the expense of everyone else living here.
Everyone of these men had or has a following that is devoted as much as any religion. It might be argued that the 911 tragedy was the result of hate and yet the 4 men on each of those planes that were destined to destroy themselves and whoever was unlucky enough to be with them or in their path were in fact the most religious people there. Yes they were followers of Islam but that religion is force fed from birth to death without benefit of a coffee break. The use of that faith to commit to those acts is disturbing and yet we have the same type of faith being used against our democracy for the benefit of one person. That person is a self centered, egotistical spoiled child that has never been told no and does not know how to behave.
What is the benefit to the people that tell us that they are ready and willing to take up arms and kill their fellow citizens just because Trump tells them to. There is no benefit except the pat on the head like the faithful dog by the master.
If allowed to win the outcome will mean the destruction of not only our form of government but of our environment for the sake of searching for more mineral wealth. Nothing will be spared from the rape of the earth to make him richer. His days are numbered and no amount of wealth is going to bring him youth again but the object is only to die with having the most.
What is your mission?
My mission/missions for today is to get out of the hospital, ended up here due to a fall and head injury on 12/28, and to determine whether to repair my car or replace it.
Like most I have always thought missions and goal where the same but in doing more reading I liken the difference as missions are comparable to taste testing a recipe and goals as preparing and consuming that meal… let me know if I am wrong on that comparison, I did just have a head injury so I can except being wrong.
