Hump Day Thoughts

  • I am suppose to be at work right now, shift change to the night shift, however, due to my administrative assignment, I wont hit the streets until after June 1st. This is the first night shift my TEAM will work without me :(
  • I don't mind the night shift, however, I do prefer days.
  • It been over fifteen years since I have worked 12-hour shifts on nights.
  • The administrative gig is chugging along...getting close to the end finally. When we receive the award due to the outcome, I'll be sure to let you know.
  • It now feels like Texas weather...80 degrees, no breeze and the humidity about 100% yuk
  • I always (allways) forget, which way to spell always(allways). I have to put them both side by side to figure it out...always (allways)
  • And it is "always" by the way.
  • Bob's surgery went well and he is recuperating just fine.
  • I am ready to go camping, big time.
  • The Dallas Cowboys "bubble" practice building is built just like the WinStar Casino building. I have been to WinStar during a pretty big storm and saw the lights swinging, I wondered then how safe it was.
  • Went and saw the "Soloist" with Robert Downy Jr. and Jamie Fox...great movie -- edit...fantastic movie.
  • My grass is growing about 2 inches a day...I mowed last night and it looks like I'll be mowing again very very soon.
  • The Swing Flu scare was such a big time waste...much to do about nothing, it really got under my skin though...sometimes I can't stand the media and all its sensationalism.
  • I was interviewed one time by Grant Stinchfield from channel 5 news after a disabled man, trapped in his wheelchair burnt to death after his van caught on fire...he ask me if it was a gruesome scene...I had him turn the camera off and I asked him, "What do you think?" I told him not to ask anymore stupid questions...we turned the camera back on and no more stupid questions where asked..."was it gruesome"...what the hell do you think???
  • Speaking of gruesome, I am sure am glad I've got a break from working fatality accidents since I changed jobs.
  • My wife is in Alaska helping her mom take care of Bob, I miss her.
  • I'm going to eat at Panchos tomorrow evening, I likes me some Panchos.
  • And as they say in Mayberry...My best to you and yours"

Stay blessed...because it is wonderful.
