Halloween is a time for dressing up in costumes, passing out candy, and playing pranks. 

As a kid I remember playing pranks like leafing peoples front porches or plastic wrapping someone's car.  Soaping house's and car windows, or my favorite, tee-peeing. Taking toilet paper and throwing it into peoples trees.   What fun, getting a group of guy and or girls, and going out to someone's house late at night, and wasting about $100 in toilet paper. 

When I was growing up we got tee-pee-ed all the time.  Almost every weekend.  I would start staying up all night just to catch them, and I would.  One night I was out tee-peeing so I wasn't home to catch anyone but my dad was.  He waited up sitting out side in the cold.  Then he saw them pull up on the side road.  He said he counted five guys.  The side road was almost 100 yards from our house, with a row of pine trees between. 

My dad took off down the pine trees.  When he got to where the guys were, he just grabbed a roll of toilet paper and started tee-peeing his own house.  He said he was having a blast,  they went through a whole case of toilet paper.  The guys never once noticed that my dad was helping.  It was dark and you couldn't tell who anyone was.  In the middle of all this my Dad yells out "someone's coming"!  and they all run to the car (including my Dad).   They all jump in the car and my dad is in the back middle seat, and the car takes off.

     They get about a mile down the road when one of them notices something wrong.  My Dad just sat there quiet with his head down.  When they got to our house there were only 5 guys, two in the front and three in the back. Now there is six guys, two in the front and four in the back.  One of the guys said "why is it so crowded in here?"  They started counting heads.  Just then the car pulls over, and my Dad said he just sat there.  When they turned on the light there sat my Dad with a big grin.  Dad said they all screamed, yelled and then laughed. My Dad said "guess what you boys are doing tomorrow morning?"  That's right, they all had to come back and clean up the mess the next day. 

But it wasn't over,  You see my Dad was a religious man and every sunday morning we went to church.  We would leave at 9 and get back at 12:30, and these boys knew that.  So one sun we went to church as we always did, and when we returned, everything was covered in toilet paper.  It was the worst I had ever seen anywhere, they used 3 cases of toilet paper, that's like 330 rolls.  It took us a week to clean it all up, but that was the last time anyone ever tried to tee-pee our house.

weather you believe in it or not. Weather you want it or not.Even if there is no need, its going to happen anyway.

So I guess bend over and get ready, and hold on because, winter is coming and I think its going to be a bumpy ride.

  Dear Dad,
  
   I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We
never would have found Adam in the dark if it hadn't been for the
lightning. Scoutmaster Keith got mad at Adam for going on a hike alone
without telling anyone. Adam said he did tell him, but it was during the
fire so he probably didn't hear him.Did you know that if you put gas on
a fire, the gas will blow up? The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the
tents did and also some of our clothes.

  Matthew is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
 
  Scoutmaster Keith isn't crabby like some Scoutmasters. He didn't even
get mad about us not wearing life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time
working on the bus so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

  

 Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When
Andrew dived into the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a
tourniquet works. Steven and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Keith said it
probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they
got sick that way with food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out
and became our Scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get
things done better while he was doing his time.

  By the way, what is a pedal file? I have to go now. We are going to
town to mail our letters and buy some more beer. Don't worry about
anything. We are Okay.

  Love,

  Robert

Saturday Night at the "R" Bar in Carey had a band called Loose Cannon. They were set up in about 30 minutes and had very good musicians. This is a case where less is more.

They had no sound man, they had a simple set up and the sound was great. Robyn even noticed there was plenty of head room and the sound was very clean.

The lead guitar was a stand in from the bands normal player (he was in the hospital), and was very very good. They played rock and country and took requests from the audience and played the songs as the requests came in.

The bands singers were also very good. They had fun, talked the the crowd, and didn't show an ego of how good they were. Which is usually the first thing wrong with a band.

They were happy to play, and the band members didn't get drunk

Working People

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their
days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went
into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out
there was a cop writing a ticket.

We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior
citizen
a break?"

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi
turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn
tires.

So Marilyn called him a shithead. He finished the second ticket and put
it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third
ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the
more tickets he wrote.

Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's
important at our age.

I hate when one of the musicians of a band gets drunk, because first, they don't know they are screwing up, missing the timing and beat of the song, and second they think they are good.

It was very nice to hear a band play and have fun.

The band arrived in a hurst and I thought it quite appropreate for Halloween. I will look forward to hearing them again.

I give them (whole band) 4.5 Stars out of five.

Editors Note:

Are there any restrictions on who can sign up for these free services? For instance, can someone who works take advantage, or is there a lame and lazy clause? Can lazy drunks sign up? I am sure this is designed for people who are unable to work, for other reasons than drinking right?

Is there an age limit for the children? I don't want to sound rude here folks, but I have seen a capable mother who was able to work, and provide for her children choose to not do so and take handouts and request handouts from people. But she had money to drink. Are there any restrictions?

Right now before our Congress, the United Nation is trying to pass a treaty that literally puts our constitution at risk. No, it actually makes our constitution null and void. Hillary is urging all Congress to sign this new treaty.

Can anyone actually find one thing that the UN has done; we Americans dump billions of dollars into the UN and get nothing but bull crap.

Here are the UN’s goals; Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, achieve a universal primary education, promote gender equality and empower women, combat diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, and develop a global partnership for development.

Within eight years they want to control all of the world's leading development institutions to be under their power. They have galvanized an unprecedented plan to meet the need of the world’s poorest people.

Sound familiar? Hillary wants a global health plan, and wants to give every new born baby 5,000.00 so that the parents can “invest” in the child’s future. Who’s going to pay for that?

This treaty that Hillary and the UN would like to pass would give the UN power to take from the rich and give to the poor. It would also hand over the power of the US to the UN, meaning, if the UN felt that we needed to send our troops to a country, they would have the power to do it. If they decided to declare gun control for every citizen in the “new world order” then our country would have to abide. Our personal guns would be taken from every law abiding citizen.

            Look at New Orleans. Mayor Dumb Ass passed a city wide ordinance to ban guns from all law abiding citizens. The result, murder and crime went up 73% in two months. FAMILIES are being killed because the scum bags aren’t turning their guns in. Now they just walk in a house and kill anyone there and take what they like. Who can stop them? And that Dumb ass Mayor is bitching because the government has left them. Well, Mayor, YOU’RE THE GOVERNMENT,

  don’t pass laws that give the criminals a free pass.  You failed your city. Quit worrying about giving everyone in your city free high speed internet because it’s “their right” and start doing your freaking job and start protecting the idiots that elected you.

          This treaty would also give the UN power over all the seas worldwide. Meaning, our navy would have to report to the UN as to where our ships and subs were, at all times. And if they didn't want us to go to let’s say, “Iraq,” we couldn’t go there by sea, we’d have to fly there. Where are we going to land?

            And this world’s health care, if the UN didn’t have enough money to pay for the world’s health care system! That’s right, under this new treaty the UN would have the power to tax the American people to pay for it. So now we will be taxed to pay for some guy in another country that can’t afford health insurance because he’s in a militia and doesn’t have a job. We have to pay to keep him alive, even if our military shot him.

            Personally, I think we need to throw the UN out of this country along with the Clintons. Quit dumping billions into the most corrupt governing system. And turn the UN building into a bowling alley.

Where the hell is my is my blue thermal mug? I use it every day. It is always with me, and my Pepsi does not taste the same without it. I have looked for new ones just in case I leave it somewhere, like I did, and I was forced to use a alternative cup that just doesn't measure up. I can't find any new, they must have stopped making them.

In order to have the best tasting Pepsi soft drink, or "my coffee", my source of caffeine, I first have to chill the Pepsi to around 32 degrees. Pepsi will start to freeze at 29 degrees and become slushy and at 28 degrees, it will freeze.

These temperatures are from the thermometer I use so yours could vary. My beer cooler is around 30 degrees and Pepsi and beer will not freeze at these temps, but Mountain Dew and diet stuff will.

But, to get the best out of your Pepsi, it has to be as cold as possible. An even better taste was when Pepsi was packaged in a glass bottle. I wish they would do that again. Can you remember glass bottles that had a deposit? Oh man, those were the days.

Anyway, get your Pepsi as cold as possible, add ice to an insulated cup. A cup that will not leave a taste to your drink, and it has to be insulated so the ice won't melt and water down your drink. The ice added to the Pepsi keeps it as cold as it can be without having to invent a refrigerated, battery operated,  or rechargeable portable cup, but not that we should not build a refrigerated cup, I think that is a good idea. I think I will work on that....

Now about the ice. The ice has to be completely frozen and not watery or in the stages of melting like at soda machines. It has to be fresh, frozen solid and the minute you take it from your freezer, use it. Pour the Pepsi in and there it is, the best it can be.

 Now, you might think why not just open a can of Pepsi, drink it and shut up! And I say why settle? Why not have it the best it can be. As in all foods, drinks and pastries, the taste is all about the preparation, ingredients and measures. Otherwise you just have a Coke product, or White Castle, or Robyn's cooking or something like that!!!!!

More about the cup. I want a glass lined thermal cup, that holds 12 oz. of Pepsi, and the right amount of ice. I want it insulated with argon gas because heat will not transfer with that substance, therefore giving me the best most insulated mug available at this point and time. And it must have a lid, insulated the same way. Why do they make insulated mugs, and give you a non insulated lid? What good is that? The top would be the most important if you went outside in the sun???

I think I want the glass lined, argon filled glass inset in stainless steel with a handle, but the glass cup would have to extend past the top of the stainless steel. Any developers out there?

I am having withdrawals from my cup. It's like a thirst you just can't quench. A hunger pain you can not feed. A cigarette you are unable to smoke. Wait a minute here, no one should have to go through so much just to have a cold, Pepsi in my lost cup. Robyn say's I am a little anal about my Pepsi and my cup, but you know what? If I have learned one thing in this life, it is, you like what you like no matter what anyone else thinks and that's as simple as things can get.
