Time

Time is fleeting.   I admit it, I'm one of those people who hate the change in time.   I can get with it.   I have to get with it, but I hate it.  

I'm wearing a sweet shirt I bought right now.  Right this minute.   You know, sweet to me.  Probably not to others.   It has like a flared collar and flowing sleeves.   My brother sent me a photo of him and I holding a rattlesnake in 1978 at the Waurika Ratttlesnake Hunt -- yes, there are things like that in Oklahoma.

But the shirt I'm wearing in that photo has the same flared collar and flowing sleeves.   I'd almost say it was cut from the same pattern, but that was 1978.   It couldn't be.  Or could it???

Whoa!!   The passage of time does scare me.  I think I'm scared of time going into the future almost as scared I am of frogs.   Yes.  Frogs.   Dude, those things are scary.   They, like, jump when you least expect it.   The beady little eyes they have.   Ugh!!!  They're scaring me right now writing this.

I think of my children and how things were for us and then how they will be for them and my grandchildren to come.   DID YOU HEAR THAT BOYS??!!!   GRANDCHILDREN!

Hahaha!.  I'm funny.   I can hear them laughing at me now.   Saying, "Wow, you've wasted all of our TIME by writing this post."  That's okay.   It needed to be said.   Some of the things that time brings are not great.  Some are.   But....

Until next time.

Me.

THINKING by Walter Wintle

https://www.yowbaby.com/ IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN, YOU ARE; IF YOU THINK YOU DARE NOT, YOU DON'T. IF YOU'D LIKE TO WIN, BUT THINK YOU CAN'T, IT'S ALMOST A CINCH YOU WON'T. IF YOU THINK YOU'LL LOSE, YOU'RE LOST; FOR OUT OF THE WORLD WE FIND SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A FELLOW'S WILL; IT'S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE OUTCLASSED, YOU ARE; YOU'VE GOT TO THINK HIGH TO RISE. YOU'VE GOT TO BE SURE OF YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN EVER WIN THE PRIZE. LIFE'S BATTLES DON'T ALWAYS GO TO THE STRONGER OR FASTER MAN; BUT SOON OR LATE THE MAN WHO WINS, IS THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN!

NO MISTAKE

NO MISTAKE When Death in dark finality Would tempt this heart to break, I must remember through my tears That you make no mistake. The fact that I don't understand Should not a hindrance be, My faith in God would judge these tears As rendered selfishly. It's but for loneliness I cry, My loved one does not weep; He walks green hills beside his Lord, And sleeps where angels sleep. Already he has touched his face, And kissed those nail-pierced feet. Already he has danced upon A shimmering golden street. How could I seek to call him back? He's where he longed to be. He never wanted less than this My tears are but for me. Remind me, Lord, as smoke ascends From ashes to the skies. That from the ashes of my grief Perfection shall arise. And you do all things out of Love, And you do all things well. You never make mistakes, dear Lord. Your hand can but excel You do not fail; you've never failed. And as you give you take. I must not sorr...

Buzz off Week

That's the way it should be.  This has been a bust of a week.  From yellow jackets to yellow-bellied cowards.  From sitting at a desk to stories of possible bike rides.  Confusing?   Think how I feel. So, there's these scary yellow jackets that seem to pop up every fall and spring at my source of nourishment, aka, my job.  Not one or two, we're talking, like, lots.   I would attach a  before and after video for your viewing pleasure, but as I've just established myself while trying to do that, I'm not -- well, I can't.   I don't know how. They bombed the bees -- which is easier to say than yellow jackets -- and the floor was COVERED!!! What's up with that?   Isn't that construed as unsafe working conditions.   Hmmm. Well, we can't do anything about those unsafe working conditions, but sometimes in life there's unacceptable living situations that we can do something about.   That's where the yellow-bellied cowards come in...
