My Father

 I had been prepping all my life for the death of my parents. When one day the hospital called and said come see your father if you want to see him alive again. So I did. I got to see him. I told him that I was ok now, and would be ok later. We had made peace about 10 years before that. We were in a good spot, Which was funny, we were never really in a bad place, we just didn't see eye to eye. I got a call a week later from my mother that he had passed. So I drove 4 hours through the early morning hours, crying and mourning my father. All that prepping that I had thought I did, turned out to be a lie. Because I wasn't prepared at all.

They get what they get. They made their bed, time to sleep. That is what happens when you get involved in politics. Firefighting is a noble profession and business, politics is not.                   The firefighters and Disney 8/2023

Thayer Immigration Initiative

I proposed this about a decade ago. No one wanted to listen. This is my solution for the immigration problem. Thayer Immigration Initiative 1.   Declare six month immigration, amnesty, grace period or whatever you want to call it. 2.   Notify all illegal aliens that they must register within the time period in order to gain citizenship. 3.   Divide the country into sections along the lines of the United States District Courts. For the purpose of all legal proceedings concerning immigration. 4.   Aliens must prove that they have held a job are crime free, and have at least an 5 th grade understanding of the reading, writing, and speaking of English. 5.   Once they are registered, then confiscate their next three years Federal income tax as a fine for entering illegally. After three years test them, issue them a Social Security card, and citizenship.    6.   All persons who have served in the armed forces, and have b...
