Where were you? I drove to work like I always did. I have (in my mind) entirely too much good music on my iPod to be listening to the radio. Besides, they don’t play my kinda music on the radio much at all.

The last Monday in May…
On behalf of myself and my fellow veterans, I want to say how appreciative we are that our service is recognized favorably. There have been times in our nation’s history when this was not the case as a general rule. It is a good environment to be a veteran nowadays. On Memorial Day weekend, everyone […]
Fox Company
The last few years has seen a gathering happen. Not the Highlander kinda gathering but…well, maybe kinda…lol Thanks to facebook, I have come back into contact with Marines that I served with years ago. We had our first ‘reunion’ in the Fall of 2013. I think six of us got together with a few wives […]
Ben, Sam and Al, Part Seven: Resolution?
If you have been following this story, it is obvious that Ben and his family were definitely getting the short end of the stick. This story is an analogy…an analogy on the situation happening over in Israel.
Ben, Sam and Al, Part Six: Shooting
…a split second after Ben’s rifle went off, his son saw one of the men convulse, then lay still. It was a little bit unnerving to see someone die. By now, Ben’s other son had the other rifle configured in .308 and it was ready to go. Ben told him to just stand ready and […]

He walked toward the hunting section and found the game cameras. He picked one up that had a high resolution camera in it with night capability. It […]

…Sam was intimidated by Al and his friends. He knew he and his family were being used but it had been going on so long, how could he shut Al down now? If he decided not to help Al any more, he was fairly certain it wasn’t going to be pretty. Ben on the other hand, was […]
Ben, Sam and Al, Part Three: Al
…Al was looking at everything going on over there with Ben and Sam and he didn’t like it. He and his pals around the area had been trying to get Ben and his family to just give up and get out. The would like to have the property but it had more to do with […]
Ben, Sam and Al, Part Two: Sam
…Sam watched what was happening over at the big house with some degree of interest. Sam and his family had had to leave their previous home because of personal differences. His family disowned him when he decided to marry his wife. They had been squatting, so to speak, in the woods down by the river […]
Ben, Sam and Al, Part One: Ben
Ben and his family needed a place to live. They had been evicted under pretty rough circumstances at their old address. They were good people, but some other folks just didn’t like them and wanted them out of the boardinghouse. When the landlord says you have to move out, you don’t have much of a choice […]
