I would like to thank my mother for her unconditional love and understanding. My mother is and was a calming presence when my life when I was out of control. My mother is a genuine, compassionate, and loving person who had to put up with the likes of me in my youth. She deserved a better son, and I have tried to be the best son I could, but my personality and arrogance led me astray. My mother taught me how to spell, how to sew, wash dishes properly, cook, and manners. One of my many regrets is that I could have been a better child. So I would like to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day, Mother, and may it be as happy and as relaxing as you are loving and kind. Thank you for being my mother, and helping me through the dark years of my youth, and worst times of my life. I love you dearly mother .

  Memories of the Greyhound track, on the occasion of the tracks razing.  In the 1980's My father, and I worked the parking lot security there. He would patrol the parking lot to keep people from breaking into the cars parked in the lot. He also escorted people out that had worn money to their cars. His girlfriend was a cashier there. My father was retired, and did the security for extra money. He and I both worked kennel security. He worked the day shift, and I worked the overnight shift. That consisted of sitting in your own vehicle and checking the area around and inside the kennel It was an easy job. The hardest part was staying awake.   One night I came on at 8pm instead of 11pm, and was paid for the 3 hours by the mid shift guy cause he had something to do. I ended up there until 1pm the next day. I worked a double plus the three. I went home tired, and found a note on the door that said everyone was at Yuma Regional Medical Center, with my sister having ...

  Hollywood is no different than Washington D.C. Both are hubs of power. Remember, "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power, corrupts absolutely."

  If you think that the fascism that the Republican/Trumplican Party is displaying, is different, from the socialism that the Democrats are displaying, then you are ignorant, and don't know what either are. They are both displaying their form of ideology and oppression.

  I was workin for Caltrans, about 45 miles south on the 15, at the top of the mountain. We went to work at 6 am on the 17th, snow started at 10 am. Las Vegas Paving was working on the road, and had detours up. It didn't stop snowing all day and and night. We worked 27 straight hours to keep the road open. We lost it about noon, and were behind until it stopped about 18 hours after it started. At 6 pm the relief crew from Needles, couldn't get up to us, because the road was closed, so we worked another 12, and others went home to be the day crew. I was plowing with a CHP officer, retrieving people from stranded cars for about 8 or so hours during the night and into early morning. We got two and half feet of snow at Mountain Pass, which is the top of the mountain. 15 was snowed in all the way from Cajon Pass, to the state line (Primm). 40 was shut down because of snow at EB Barstow, and WB at Goffs, and 95 was shut down at Searchlight. Up on the mountain the snow was deep, but i...

  Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Worth to a person is subjective. Something that I have is worth what I want or need.
