Summing up the week. 

The Trump bill passed and all kinds of changes are coming. The Defense Department and the Military Industrial complex are getting a lot of money, and I mean A LOT of money . 

 All of the Green Initiatives  funded under the “Inflation Reduction Act” are gutted. 

The industrial Farming Industry is undergoing some changes but it is hard to determine what they are unless you are part of that industry. 

Medicare and Medicaid are getting some changes but it is hard to understand unless you are in that business. 

There is a lot of language about extending the original Trump tax cuts and increasing deductions for mostly the middle class. Unless you are a CPA, good luck understanding the language. 

Anyway, thats as far as I have gotten.

My friend Jean’s sister Tina is in the hospital in Nashville. I am taking her to be with Tina in a couple of weeks. 

I got my tags for my truck renewed. The sticker is in my glove box. Im sure Ill get it put on his coming week. 

I have a 76th birthday coming up on the 13th. In a younger version of my life I never expected to see 35. Wow, God has surprises for you every day. 

I am still decluttering from after Janet’s passing. Photos are still the hardest. 

My friend Byron lives in a town west of Houston Texas. He is my age and has experienced the same things I have. I owe him a pistol and I am going to take it to him this year. (Part of my bucket list)

Still wanting to go see the “Blue Oval City” between Memphis and Jackson and eat a BBQ at Bozo’s Bar B Que in Mason Tennessee. (Another bucket list item). Blue Oval City is a Ford Motor Company operation designed to be a “Green” manufacturing site building electric F150 trucks. Don’t know how that is going to turn out given the new administration. 

I am still attending Church of the Harvest in Olive Branch. A non denominational church located on the South side of Goodman Road just east of Spring Hill Road. Come on down. Two services at 9 and 11. The coffee is good and he music is memorable. 

Nothing else spectacular this week. 

Be well!!!!

End Of The Week Rambling  Friday 6/6/25 Its been a good week. Got quite a few things done. I thought I would muse about the military a bit.  This was a typical setting for relaxing between flight quarters when you were working the flight deck. This is sitting on the bow of the flight deck. No noise. Just the sound of the water breaking over the bow 60 feet below you and the wind in your face cruising thru the Med at 25 knots I liked being at sea. This was before the days of computers, e mail, phones, wifi calls to your family, etc. Books, music, letters, newspapers were the medium back then. The mail usually came twice a week, The separation from family and friends was easier without daily reminders of where you were not. The sleeping arrangements, food, noise, heat, odors, and 12 hour work shifts were tolerable and kept you occupied.  We didn't have civilian clothes so it was dress uniform for liberty. (In the last 6 months of my enlistment, that changed). We usually anc...

The Last September 30th 2025 I will ever see

 It’s been an exciting day. I was up early and went to the ATM, the Urologist, the farmers market and to Jean’s for a chicken salad lunch. Later, I paid some bills and straightened out a snafu between my secondary Medicare coverage and the Olive Branch ambulance service. I spent a hour or so going through the old photo albums. Those are the hardest to declutter. Later went to Kroger, picked up dinner and dropped off some bananas to Jean. I am back at the house checking the mail and watching a Clint Eastwood movie, “Kelley’s Hero’s”. Got some of my Christmas shopping done today. This has been a good week so far. My urologist is happy with my lifestyle. Anyway, it’s only Tuesday. The garbage is pulled down to the street. Mildred came by last Sunday and picked up the freezer in my garage. (More declutter).  Planning the Atlanta / Nashville trip for Christmas. Deciding who is paying for what and the schedule. I am trying to arrange Thanksgiving dinner between Jean and I & my b...
