I pulled over just to show you what the end of the world looks like, yes Marines can be found there as well
” Every climb & place”
Paul Harvey usta say, ” and now, the rest of the story”, but first, some clarification. I don’t give G’damn what branch you served in, you wore the uniform, speaks much of your Character. While we give each other a hard time, that is just practice, keeping us mentally fit in the game for when the shit starts.
And it started
Some of you know when mother first broke her back, they glued her back together, which is an amazing medical item itself, shame there are those out who have turned that profession into something resembling the crooked cross.
Had an uncle who would pour ready-crete in his fish-tug when it sprung a leak…. kinda like what they did with mother. Rehab is normally located in nursing homes, some back story needed. when she 86 she didn’t have the 30.06 in the shoulder proper, took the shot and destroyed her shoulder, was a gut shot. Anyways, while at the nursing home, they put her on some damn machine to exercise her arms, only thing holding her arm on are the tendons, so she screaming big time, hurt her so bad she was put into a bed. Thats when the trouble started, 2 days later lil sis went to get her out of there, they wouldn’t let her leave without a conference meeting. Night before I called some people, not one was busy, 3 Navy 4 Army, told each just follow my lead. Lil wheeling mother followed by myself and that motley crew of misfits behind me. We were all sitting when the ” experts beginning to sit down at thier expert table. All 10 of them had their blablabla moment. Was my turn, felt a tap on hand ” you be nice”
When I stood up, those Men behind mother stood up, lil sis stood up. ” who’s first, I don’t care which, the look on thier faces would remind you of shit going through a goose, they wanted out there like yesterday, I was pissed but tempered. In her records, it clearly states she has no ball or socket for a shoulder, and you hurt her. Which one of you has claim over this woman, stand up, none moved, none spoke. Lil sis, you take mother to my truck right now, looking at that table experts, if there are papers to be signed, mail them, they will filled out and sent back, do not include billing for that bed.
Lil sis wheeling mother the boys following her,
I was the last to leave.
I’m still pissed about that situation
After getting 3 glasses of wine, she was feeling pretty good yesterday
She was looking at a picture of her and dad then said
takes a man to get through flannel
dad knew what he was doing huh ma, ” ohh hush”
Ma, were you bad girl when you were younger
” we all sin”… sipping her wine looking at that picture
Stay the course you be fine
Life by the lake is hard
Our happiness does not depend on the restrictions placed upon our Lives
I was once asked by lil sis ” think she will do it” Have you ever known her not to do something that she wants?. ” well no” I explained to her the difference between a short term goal an long term objectives. If I could, I’d tell lil sis… there’s nothing she won’t do when she sets her mind to it, with a little help.

Strange, I still ask permission for things such as in mother, can I make you famous?
” I don’t want to be famous”
Well ok, can I share you with some good people, the kind of people you’d have coffee with using teacups?
” ok you can do that”
Her sense of humor Every birthday as long as known her, which is like all my life, it’s been pizza, hance the reason I gave her a tee shirt that said pizzaslut with the pizzhut building.
At the age of 95, lil sis says, give her this as a gift… ” NO G’DAMN way am i giving that, you give it to her”
” I like margaritas with a smirk on her face”
After the pizza was gone, she started in on the magarita, licking slurping sucking sounds.. ” how is it ma?
“salty”
Her kindness
Some you know about this, I had gotten a call from a friend down around Lajeune, just talking stuff, he had mentioned his grand daughter got an invite to the Marine Ball, ” how cool is I said”, week or later I made mention of to mother, she gets up goes in her bedroom comes out with a silver fox and a mink stole, ” your father made these for me, what color is her hair she asked, ” I don’t know”. well you send this mink to your friend so she gets it, and you tell him, I don’t want it back, and mention fur needs to breathe, so don’t put it under plastic in her matter of tone.
She got a picture of the young lady at the Ball under her coffee table glass
Taking no shit from anyone
walking out of church like mother duck with all her little duckie in a row, there was a group of 4/5 women just outside, as we were walking by one said she has all those kids, her husband never attends, another said he’s indian, probably drunk at home. That did it, mother turned went right at them, all of them. ” My husband works on Sunday, those dimes the children put in the plate, they get from thier father Saturday night for he’s up and gone on the lake before the children wake. What really got her was the preacherman was standing there not saying a damn word knowing why dad was not church.
She was 21 when Pearl happened, ever hear the pin hit the floor?, she can you how quiet the store was the news came over the loud speaker when Kennedy was shot, her mind is sharp, it’s her body, worn out, right now she has some water in the heart, not suppose to be there, so that’s a concern.
Asked her once ” ma, was I worse of the kids”
she just looked at me with her own version of the Clint squint.
Been thinkin about the title for the new journal, concerning the times we find ourselves living in. We know about the Stone age, the Iron age and the Bronze Age because of things found and stuff written down. After yesterday, I’ve found the title

If the GOP cannot win in this environment

Looking at the lake , it’s 34 degrees out here with a coffee, the weather may change
but the woobie is forever!
U.S. Sen. Paul H. Douglas (1892-1976): “Those of us who have had the privilege of serving in the Marine Corps value our experience as among the most precious of our lives. The fellowship of shared hardships and dangers in a worthy cause creates a close bond of comradeship. It is the basic reason for the cohesiveness of Marines and for the pride we have in our corps and our loyalty to each other.”

I think I was keeping up pretty good while Elk City Oklahoma, I was asked to go sit down, you’re messing up the line dancing, so I left the floor, found Paul Edward Nut at the bar lapping up Crown Royal. Paul Edward was a dog, a Rig dog, splashed with caustic soda. We got along great. I’ll tell you about him sometime.
The story is shared around campfires still and they will be continued to be told. The net won’t be forever. Campfires and stories have been around forever.
legend claims the name Tahquamenon means “root beer” and the color of the water is that of the special, sweet beverage a young Ojibway man created for his Indian Maiden. She loved him almost as much as she loved his root beer.
As Indian legends go, the young man met with a tragic early death on this river and so the Maiden will forever cry the brown-colored water because she misses him…and his root beer.
Armydog grew-up with the falls just down the road from the Mirand area
As I was telling the Armydog, he to has been around like forever
He normally just says ” get out”, well this time he sweetened his words
Pauly was there, Pauly who had the vegan chickens, ” Pauly, don’t talk to me”

Dr. Peter McCullough, the AMA has revoked his license, decorated cardiologist, his knowledge of virology is without question. 100 publications in prestigious periodicals, what was his crime?
Peter told the truth
Not sure why brick & mortar came to mind concerning emily
The Armydog will be 90 years young tomorrow, this past summer he was up in a tree cutting some limbs down from an Elm tree, his wifey said ” go talk some sense into him will ya”.
“She sent you out here didn’t she” as he still hand sawing on this limb. I just stood there looking up at him. Not as you were thinking.
I’m looking at this guy up in a tree whose feet were frozen black at the Chosen, still has some red metal in him as a gift from the Chinese communists. This guy who as a kid, along with his brother was treated like slaves after thier dad died by an uncle. A 2 handed saw worked by the boys, paid 16 cents per cidar post, cut/stripped/stacked. 16 cents to be split between the boys. As dog has said many times.
” I hated my uncle”.
“Chance, I’d rather her getting after me now then having this limb hit the roof causing damage and money”. He doesn’t talk much about the constant pain, you’ll catch him grimacing from it, it doesn’t stop him from doing what he’s going to do. It’s something about that generation I was watching up in that tree. The branch cracked and fell, he comes down, sits on the bench, ” give me a minute” take 2 dog. Gets up, starts walking into his home.
Thinking the Armydog would straighten out Scott Adams in no time
