About Me
Was a single parent for many years, youngest was 4, oldest 12 when I became a bachelor for the second time. Navy brat that spent 6 years in the Navy. Was in country to witness the take over of Marcos in the Philippines and the return of our POWs after NAM when they were processed through Clark Air Force Base. While I was in the military I was sent to and advanced electronics school in San Diego had a Marine Recon and a ROC (Korean) navy enlisted type as roommates at the same time. I currently own my own business, industrial consumables sales.

Work, reading, gardening and fishing.
Gardening, reading (love military history) and fishing.
Mixed interests
Reality TV and getting into peoples heads. American Idol is great to so-so depending on the talent, which is fantastic this season.
Currently reading Wilbur Smith's books. Great reading. Also read Terry Goodkind and Harry Turtledove. Always looking for more books on Queen Victoria's Little wars. Conflicts of the British Colonial period are great reading. Boer Wars of South Africa are interesting both from their political and warfare aspects.

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burnout in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dryrot. I would rather be a superb meteor every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy permanent planet. The proper function of a man is to live, not just to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
Jack London

Favorite Poems:
My Love in her attire doth show her wit,
...It doth so well become her;
For every season she hath dressings fit,
...For Winter, Spring, and Summer.
......No beauty she doth miss
.........When all her robes are on:
......But Beauty's self she is
.........When all her robes are gone.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have.

People in the center help elect "Chicago" politicians and are some how amazed at how badly it is turning out. Wait till they figure out how much of their tax dollars are just going to "Friends of the Party", contractors and other contributors.

Second our own thinking is flawed. Nowhere does it say we must elect a lawyer or professor into a given political office. We ignore some of the best, most honest and many times better critical thinkers because they don't have the right pedigree, formal education or don't belong to "right organizations". Add that anymore they have to fit the medias ideal physical requirements and those we have adopted from the mass media.
Lastly we are lazy and ill informed.

The part I did agree with was Washington has danced us around on this issue and blamed everyone but themselves. None of them have seriously looked at the legal professions part in this (Geez! Aren't 90 plus percent of Congress lawyers! YES!). None of them have seriously looked at the Insurance companies part in the mess. When was the last time you same a simple plain looking office build for one of the insurance companies home offices? Why aren't we looking at executive pay in that industry? (more) -

Most Americans are too busy trying to make a living to get out and protest the actions of our government. Those that do have time are tied to party affiliation. Because we aren't in the streets they are ignoring us. Maybe when you are unemployed you will join those of us trying to make a difference. (more)

I was just thinking about the few people I've crossed paths with here that have truly impressed me, touched my spirit, and changed my life for the better. You are one among that short list.... I wanted you to know that, and to say Thank You.

Happy Easter Dude. Steel yourself for the battle ahead. Remember the quote. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34-39) Keep up the good work
