Great Journey of 2019 - Season 1; What makes this the greatest journey?

-
So I named this vacation the Great Journey of 2019.   Are you wondering what is so special about this trip that I can call this the greatest?

First - This trip is scheduled for 3 weeks.  It is the longest time I have been away from work since 1981, when I got out of the Navy and I was unemployed.   LoriAnn hasn't ever been on a vacation this long.  It has been GREAT too leave work behind.

Second - It has been snowing back home.  February has been the snowiest winter on record.   And there has been at least one big snow fall in March. My neighbor back home has cleared the snow from my driveway at least 4 times.   Thanks Cliff.   I owe you a lot.   But I am glad I haven't had to do the work.  It's GREAT to be away from the snow!

Third - Its been cold back home.   The temperature this morning -9 degrees.  This hasn't been an isolated case of cold weather.  Although today is a cool 55 deg F, The last 9 days I have been in shorts while the weather has been above 80 Deg F.   It's GREAT to be away from the cold!

Fourth - I get to spend all this time with the love of my life.  And that is the GREATEST!

Poem titled "Me Mudder"

-
In honor and tribute to all mothers. This was found on the bulletin board at my grandfathers store in Lotts Creek Iowa. Supposedly found in an old territorial prison in Yuma. -------------------------------- When my prayers were early said Who tucked me in my widdle bed And spanked my ass till it was red? Me Mudder Who lifted me from my cozy cot And set me on an ice cold pot and make me pee if I could or not? Me Mudder And when the morning light had come In my widdle crib I dribbled some who wiped my tiny little bum? Me Mudder Who did my hair so nearly part and pressed me gently to her heart and sometimes squeezed till I'd fart Me Mudder Who looked at me with eyebrows knit, and neatly had a king size fit, When in my Sunday clothes me shit Me Mudder When at night the bed did squeak, me raised me head to have a peek, who yelled at me to go to sleep Me Fadder !

Don't we ever learn from History!

Public Meeting to be held to discusses High-Speed Rail between Minneapolis and Duluth  and could cost between $500 million and $600 million. Didn't we have a passenger train rail line between St Paul and Duluth? Oh yeah... It failed due to lack of ridership. What about the tracks? Oh yeah... They are now bike paths between White Bear and North Branch. Don't get me wrong, I love trains... But they need to be self sustaining... They shouldn't need my dollar! http://kstp.com/traffic/minneapolis-duluth-high-speed-rail-meeting/4057719/?cat=12196

April 8th My birthday and an eclipse

-
This year, April 8th not only represents the completion of my 67th trip around the sun, but it will be a chance for me to experience a solar eclipse totality. Consequently,  I have placed myself in a location to enjoy both my birthday and this solar event. I've heard of the many dire predictions of catastrophic events at the time of the eclipse. Included in this is the Salem Ninevah prediction of Jesus's return. Be assured I'm at peace.  Christ may return at anytime, but that date and time is unknown to man. And if he does surprise us, and comes back monday, I know that I'll walk with him in heaven.  And if the earth shakes and I'm swallowed up in the chaos, my destination will be the same.  I believe that God will not allow this planet to be destroyed while His children still inhabit it.  And if I'm left behind along with the rest of the calamity of survivors digging out, I'm prepared to battle satan while I can. What I am concerned about is what satans min
