Non

I had thought about posting on (among other things) the goodness of Work. However, after a 13 hour workday yest. (beginning around 4) I have decided to pone this post. Instead, I offer you some of the less interesting thoughts I had during the day.

Interesting and/or common driving hazards in my state:

A. wind
B. dirt (see A)
C. animals (deer, coyotes, armadillos, possums, skunks, the most common--wildcats don't get hit very often, and snakes, rabbits, and squirrels, although hit, do not present much hazard; cattle or sheep/goats can also prove a hazard if they get out)
D. cars backing up down Main Street
E. tractors/wheat trucks/combines, etc. driving slowly down the highway
F. little old ladies who can't see over the steering wheel (kids who can't reach the pedals stay on the backroads, so they don't present much of a hazard)
G. people stopped to talk in the middle of the road (not on the highway)

other hazards, although not as common, include the usual rain, sleet, snow, hail. However, it is possible to get stuck in sand without moisture the same way you get stuck in mud or snow.


Other thoughts:

I think I have figured out how people here vote Democrat. It's very simple:

1. Presume that no one else in the world knows anything or is capable of rational thought.
2. Do not attempt rational thought yourself, because you have no need to think, as you already Know.
3. Presume that you are Entitled to Everything at no cost to yourself.
4. Regurgitate (while removing every bit of an attempt at a veneer of logical thought, because you don't need it) something someone told you, believing it to be your own Original Idea (which it now is) because, of course, no one else knows anything.
5. Vote


We have wild turkeys hanging around--they make very interesting noises.


And now, for something like substance:

Please pray for our family over the next few days. My grandmother's step-mother died, and my dad was asked to preach the funeral, so we're all packing up and driving to San Antonio and back, and taking my grandparents. This will be the first time we kids have met a lot of my dad's side of the family (yes, this is a gorsy part of the bush--"Nanny" was the Second Widow). Most of them are not Christians, but my dad says he wouldn't be afraid to be in a dark alley with any of them (and that is a reasonable comment, from what I hear). Please pray for him especially.

Hasta Luego!
