Toiling away with the NAHL North Division’s Motor City Machine, he was “rescued” when he was traded to the RoadRunners, reviving his junior career. Now, former captain Kurtis Anton steps back onto Landon Arena ice as a member of the RoadRunner Alumni Team.

     The native of Rochester Hills, MI played 17 games for the expansion Motor City Machine, and was dealt to Topeka just before the trade deadline in February 2009. He appeared in 10 games for Topeka down the stretch,  and though he didn’t register any points, his presence on the ice gave the ‘Runners a bit of an edge they had been  looking for. “Anton came in looking to do whatever he could to help this team win”, said head coach Scott Langer. “He put the needs of the team ahead of everything else. It was that combined with his overall attitude and work ethic that made him the obvious choice to lead this team as captain the following year.”

     Wearing the “C” was something Anton took very seriously. “It was an honor to be given that responsibility and I knew that there was an impressive history of captains in this franchise to live up to so that made me work that much harder”, Anton said. Fans nicknamed him "Kaptain Krunch" for his thunderous body checks and overall tough guy reputation. In his second season he played 53 games and lit the lamp 5 times, dishing out 9 assists. Impressively, for a player whose role was typically on a checking / energy line, he finished the year with a +7 rating. He also spent a fair amount of time (137 minutes) in the penalty box. “Goes with the territory”, he said laughing. “Everyone on a team has their role. I knew mine, and I took pride in it.”

     Anton and the rest of the Alumni face off against the 2010-11 RoadRunners on Sunday Sept.5 at 12:00 noon. Tickets are available through the Expocentre Box Office or by calling 785-297-1000

The Jewish and Muslim faith share many striking features in common: We don’t celebrate Christmas and we regard the act feeding the poor as a fulfillment of a core pillar of our faith.  This past Sunday we helped feed Jakarta’s poorest. It’s about Tzedakah and Sadaqah.  Happy Hanukkah!

Lexus might make a convertible LC, but no F model before new V8 arrives

Lexus might make a convertible LC, but no F model before new V8 arrives

The Lexus LC coupe could gain a convertible and a high-performance LC F companion down the track, but the drop-top is likely to appear well ahead of any hardcore go-fast model.

Automotive News reports that a Lexus LC convertible is a strong possibility, and would be one of the first derivatives to emerge if Toyota decides to expand the LC range.

Koji Sato, the LC’s chief engineer and platform engineer for Lexus’ new GA-L platform, told the industry publication that the architecture is structurally sound enough to support convertible models.

In addition to this, the LC has been packaged to accommodate an all-wheel drive system.

As for a high-performance LC F variant, the company seems keen, but technical issues mean that it won’t appear for a little while yet.

According to an engineer who spoke anonymously to Automotive News, an LC with a turbocharged version of Lexus’ current 5.0-litre V8 isn’t possible.

This means that any LC F is on hold until the LC’s mid-cycle refresh when a new-generation V8 should be available.

Speaking with CarAdvice at the international launch of the LC, Lexus Australia chief Peter Montgomery was tight-lipped on plans for a convertible, although he did offer on the potential for an F model.

“Given that we have an RC F and GS F, you could speculate that an LCF might be on the cards,” he said.

So far, Lexus has launched the new LC in LC500 and LC500h specifications. The LC500 features a 350kW 5.0-litre V8 connected to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The LC500h has a 264kW hybrid system with a 3.5-litre V6 and an electric motor. The hybrid setup drives the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.

Advent Stories - Combining Traditions to Celebrate Advent
I Wish Christmas Lasted More Than One Day

Advent Stories - Running After Jesus

Advent stories

by: Maryann Lorts (originally published on

At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God’s praises: Glory to God in the heavenly heights, Peace to all men and women on the earth who please him.

As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over, “Let’s get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us.” They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about the child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed. Luke 2: 13-18 MSG

Running. The sheepherders left, running. I would like to think that I would be right behind them and in such a hurry to see what the angels sang of.

Running. Can you imagine being there the day that God came down, the day that God was born a man? Can you imagine how the world changed that very moment and only a special few truly grasped the immensity of this event?

I read this version of Luke several years ago. I have always held Christmas time close to my heart, but the meaning of Advent hit me at that moment. A time of preparation for the coming of our Lord was at hand and we needed to stand attention. Running. It’s the race to finish in righteousness and the trophy belongs to the Lord.

What does this mean to me and my family? I thought of our traditions over the years. My grandmother spent hours baking cookies just right to hand to the mailman and priests at her church. She sang silly songs while I snooped around for the lost presents from previous years. I couldn’t wait for her famous Christmas Eve meal. Warm memories and happiness find my heart as I recall my childhood in preparation.

As a young, married adult I found our traditions shifted to travel. My first year of married life, we found ourselves taking a picture in front of seven different Christmas trees in a three-day span of time. Food, gifts, games, and then we started all over again. Traditions flew out the window and we just followed the trail of treats to the next house.

Having children changed everything and I found myself seeking a way out of traveling for two days because we weren’t really grasping anything of true worth in the hustle and bustle. We prepared for exhausted children and a frustrated midnight gathering of presents to place under our own tree.

A few years ago I received a new Bible for Christmas, and I found myself dreading the years that were to come.  I thought that a new,bound leather book would placate my frustrations with other people’s ideas of what a holiday season looked it. We had four children and we were just tired. We needed a change, and although I put a bit of hope in reading Scripture, I was skeptical when I opened to Genesis One.  Then I found something in my Bible. I found The Message version on one side with a more traditional version on the other. Suddenly, study became interesting and the Spirit provided conviction of truth.

The following fall I dove into wanting our children to understand what the birth of our Lord truly meant. They would see me get teary-eyed as I sang a few Christmas hymns a couple of months too early. They questioned why I was so moved by stories and decorations with the Christmas-theme. I knew it was time to make a change and press into them what Advent truly meant.

Traditions started to change and priorities were made all while keeping mind of spending time with loved ones. We set forth to read Scripture each day of Advent and celebrated by eating sweets, hanging a special ornament and planning days of fun to celebrate the season of light.

I have been so moved and so blessed to see my children grow in their love of Christ and to look forward to this season. We dive into Prophesy and read how it was fulfilled by Jesus. We serve others because the Lord wants us to share how his love came down. We bake treats for neighbors who may not have loved ones so we can pour hope into them. We sing worship songs throughout the day and lay under the tree at night, reflecting on how the light of the world hung on a branch so that we could be free. We prepare, we celebrate, and we live like its Christmas all year.

So we go back to the word running. The children and I are so excited for the day that we can be among our brothers and sisters, running…. running to the feet of Jesus. Until then, we will wait in our season of Advent. It may not always be twinkly lights, decorated cookies, or fa-la-las, but we will be looking towards the heavens and doing our best to grow His kingdom here on earth.

Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself. The sheepherders returned and let loose, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned out exactly the way they’d been told! Luke 2: 19-20 MSG

AC Milan set deadline for Man City over Tevez loan agreement

AC Milan want a decision from Manchester City in ten days' time over Carlos Tevez's loan.

The Serie A giants are leading the race to sign Tevez after Juventus ruled out a move for the Argentinian.

AC Milan have reached a deal with Catania for the loan signing of Maxi Lopez, but it's been reported that the move will only go through should the San Siro club fail to land Tevez.

According to Sky Sport 24, Tevez, who refused to warm-up before City's Champions League tie at Bayern Munich in October and then failed to return to the club after going back to his native Argentina, has emerged as AC Milan's No 1 target when the transfer window re-opens in January.

Ancelotti happy with Bale contribution in Real Madrid win

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with Gareth Bale's contribution for their win over Malaga.

Ancelotti says Bale is now available for their Champions League tie with Juventus.

"He started on the left because we had Di Maria on and Cristiano was working hard, but Cristiano was not going to change position. Then, when Jese went on, they changed wings. Bale has no problems and is another option. We will see now that we have three days of training before the next match," said Ancelotti.

Bent: Tottenham must move beyond Keane sale

Tottenham striker Darren Bent admits it's disappointing to lose Robbie Keane to Liverpool.

"It is disappointing for the club, he [Keane] has had five good years here where he has scored a lot of goals and has been brilliant for the club," Bent told Sky Sports News.

"We can't stand on ceremony and we have got to move forward."

Bent is hopeful he will get the chance to replace Keane in Juande Ramos' starting line-up.

"Hopefully [I will get the chance], obviously a player like Robbie needs replacing but if I am called upon and the gaffer gives me the nod, I will give it a go," he said.

"He [Ramos] hasn't said anything [about Keane], what has happened with Robbie is down to him and the club, he didn't say anything to the players and we just have to get on with it.

"He [Keane] was a big figure in the dressing room, a nice guy and a top man, but obviously as I said we have to keep moving forward and push on in the league."

Herbert forced to reshuffle Wellington Phoenix line-up

Wellington Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert will be forced to reshuffle his line-up following the injury to left-back Tony Lochhead.

The New Zealand international will undergo groin surgery next week, the injury forcing him to the sidelines for around eight weeks.

His absence will force Herbert to play Maltese international Manny Muscat at left-back even though he has been playing well in midfield but the 25-year old says he is happy to help wherever.

"It's bad news for Lochy but I think I can do a job for the team there (on the left). Obviously it's always tough to switch positions, particularly in the first game, but you mould yourself into that new position as times goes by," Muscat said.

"Positionally I should be okay given that I've played on the right. If Ricki puts me there I'll look to move the ball a little quicker because it's not my preferred foot, play the simple ball and overlap as much as I can. Ricki has always encouraged me to get forward."

Muscat will be deployed in the left-back position when the Phoenix host North Queensland Fury at Westpac Stadium tomorrow night.

Ipswich rival West Brom for Sunderland keeper Fulop

Sunderland goalkeeper Marton Fulop has confirmed he is leaving the Stadium of Light.

Fulop has attracted interest from Udinese.

He said: "I've a two-year contract with Sunderland but it's more than likely that I'll leave Sunderland this summer.

"I'm open to any possibilities, even those coming out of England. I think that my future will be decided after the World Cup."

Newly-promoted West Brom and ambitious Championship side Ipswich Town - managed by former Sunderland boss Roy Keane - are also understood to be monitoring the situation, says The Journal.

Man Utd hero Giggs eyeing coaching career

Manchester United favourite Ryan Giggs admits he is eyeing a career in coaching.

The Welsh veteran told the Daily Star: "I think working under the manager here is the best schooling there is and you can see that by the managers in the Premier League.

"There's Roy Keane, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and Steve Bruce and they have all played under the manager, so there is definitely something in that.

"Coaching would be an option and it is a natural progression for a lot of footballers. There are a lot of different roads that footballers can follow after they stop playing.

"I just want to be prepared for when I finish because, if I do decide to go into coaching or management, I want to make sure I've got my qualifications and the necessary coaching badges.

"I started about three or four years ago with my B badge. I picked it up again in the summer with my A badge and A licence.

"I've enjoyed it and hopefully I can get all the badges for when I finish."

NEXT BIG THING: Top 8 kids inside Arsenal youth system

Arsenal's famed youth academy continues to churn out some top quality youngsters as it has done over the years.

In's first 'NEXT BIG THING', we take a closer look at the Top 8 talents on the Gunners' books in 2013/14.

 Joel Campbell

Signed from Costa Rican club Deportivo Saprissa in August 2011, 21-year old forward Campbell has massive wraps in north London.

Since arriving at the Emirates, Campbell has spent time on loan with Lorient in France, Real Betis in Spain and is currently on a season-long loan with Olympiakos in the Greek Super League.

Campbell, who has scored eight goals in 28 internationals for Costa Rica, has the ability to operate as a central attacker or out wide and has already made his presence felt in Athens with four league goals for a total of five from 14 outings in all competitions. He even made his first Champions League start against PSG on Wednesday night in Olympiakos' 2-1 loss.

Back in March 2012, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger suggested that Campbell needed to become more consistent: "He shows good talent," he told Arsenal Player.

"He lacks consistency and that is where he learns his job at the moment. To be a professional is a job and that's what he has to learn."

From the looks of his most recent scoring performances for Olympiakos, against PAOK and Panthrakikos, it appears as though Campbell is certainly improving that element of his game.

Serge Gnabry

The 18-year old German forward arrived in north London from VfB Stuttgart in 2011 and has gone from strength to strength since his move to Arsenal.

Gnabry signed his first pro contract in the summer of 2012 before he was handed his first-team debut as a substitute against Coventry City in the League Cup that season. He also made his Premier League bow against Norwich City in October and managed some Champions League action with minutes off the bench against Schalke in the same month.

The supremely talented Gnabry has now gone on to make a total of 10 appearances for the Gunners which included his first senior goal in a 2-1 win over Swansea City in September which came prior to him signing a five-year deal in late October this year.

Of that contract, Wenger told "We signed Serge Gnabry because I believe that he will be a great player.

"He's nearly there now, and competes for a regular place in the team in the Premier League.

"He has technical ability, he has power, he has pace, he has finishing quality and he can give a final ball. He's a powerful offensive player and I believe that he will be a great player for Arsenal football club."

Chuba Akpom

The 18-year old English striker, of Nigerian descent, entered Arsenal's youth system as a six-year old before making his U18s debut as a 15-year old.

Akpom, who penned a senior contract with the Gunners in 2012, has been a regular scorer for England youth teams since 2011 and has so far appeared twice for Wenger's senior team - as a sub against Sunderland in the Premier League in September and against West Bromwich Albion in the League Cup in the same month.

In November last year, Akpom told Arsenal Player that Wenger had told him to work on a few areas of his game in order to improve his overall ability.

"He told me that he'd been watching me play and liked what I do, but said I should be scoring more headed goals - so I suppose he set me another challenge there and then," Akpom said when he signed his first pro deal.

"It was a proud day for me and my family, who were there to share in the occasion with me, but I know that this is just the beginning. What it has done is instil even more responsibility.

"My job is doing what I love, playing football, and you cannot get better than that."

Thomas Eisfeld

Another promising German on Arsenal's books, Eisfeld made his way to the Gunners academy from Borussia Dortmund in January 2012.

The 20-year old attacking midfielder made his senior debut in the astonishing 7-5 League Cup win over Reading last season before gaining a start in this season's version against West Brom.

Eisfeld has already gained comparisons to the great Robert Pires and upon signing for the Gunners, manager Wenger said: "Thomas is a player we have liked for some time. We've watched him closely this season, where he has excelled for Dortmund's youth team.

"He is young but has proven to us that he can play, that he has the attitude and technical ability to be a valuable addition to our squad. We're very pleased to welcome him to the Club and look forward to his contribution in the coming seasons."

Dan Crowley

The England U17 international is being tipped for very big things from the inner core at Arsenal.

Midfielder Crowley was signed from Aston Villa this past summer which infuriated the West Midlands club as they had seen him develop so nicely within their youth ranks.

However, Crowley ended up making the move to north London and the Gunners are now basking in what could be a very warm sunlight if the youngster they are dubbing 'the next Jack Wilshere' reaches his full potential.

Crowley, who has represented England at both U16 and U18 level, recently received a glowing endorsement from Wilshere himself who posted the following on his Twitter page.

Alex Iwobi

The nephew of former Nigeria and Bolton star Jay-Jay Okocha has a very bright future and has been touted as 'one to watch' at Arsenal.

17-year old Lagos-born Iwobi is a left-sided winger who can also operate in central midfield and has already impressed at U16 and U17 level for England. He also scored in a UEFA Youth League win for the Gunners against Marseille in September.

Iwobi has been with the north London club for almost a decade already and is ready to sign a professional contract when he turns 18 in May next year.

A player profile on Arsenal's official website offered the following on the highly-talented Iwobi: "Skilful and quick with an eye for goal, Alex can play on either wing or just behind the striker in a three-pronged attack. While capable of scoring goals, Alex has also built up a reputation as a creative forward who can play an incisive pass."

Gedion Zelalem

German-born of Ethiopian descent, 16-year old midfielder Zelalem is one of the brightest prospects to spend time in Arsenal's youth academy.

Zelalem took part in the Gunners' tour of Southeast Asia this past summer and quickly showed fans why he is being compared to ex-captain Cesc Fabregas.

Inclusion in the matchday squads for Premier League wins over Fulham and Tottenham this term show that the first year scholar is nearing a first team debut but for the time being he will have to continue impressing in the U21 team and in the UEFA Youth League with the north London giants.

Jack Jebb

Jebb is an attack-minded creative midfielder who has been capped at both U16 and U17 level by England.

The London-born 18-year old showed so much promise that Arsenal signed him to a professional contract in September 2012 and he is now expected to kick on an eventually force his way into the senior line-up.

Jebb was on target in the 4-1 UEFA Youth League win over Marseille a couple of months ago and continues to be a key contributor for the U18 and U21 sides.

Pellegrini playing down importance of Man City v Liverpool

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini does not believe the outcome of his side's match with Liverpool will necessarily decide the destination of the Premier League title. "It's a very big game, but I do not think it will choose the title. Every game is a big game now until the end of the season," he says.

"Liverpool have had a great season, so this is an important game. It's a very big game, it's the team who are at the top of the table.

"Of course the team that wins this game has more of a chance to win the title. But if you think this is the finish of the Premier League, I think it is a mistake."

Pellegrini also confirmed that Sergio Aguero will be fit for the top of the table clash at Anfield.

"Sergio is OK. He worked all week with the squad normally. It's very important to have him back. He's a top player," Pellegrini says.

"It's very difficult for their defence to stop him and so it's very important for us. All the squad is OK, except for Matija Nastasic."

Penalty loss will heighten pressure on next shootout - England boss Hodgson

England manager Roy Hodgson believes last night's Euro2012 defeat to Italy will heap more pressure on the team next time they are in a penalty shootout.

The Three Lions were eliminated from the European championships after extra-time finished 0-0 in Kiev with the Azzurri triumphing 4-2 on penalties.

When asked by Sky Sports if another penalties loss in a major tournament will add to the woes of the England team, Hodgson suggested that it would.

"Absolutely. Every failure you have exacerbates the situation for the future," he said.

"Nothing that you can do will ever prepare you for the moment. What can possibly prepare you for those type of things?

"We practiced, we talked about it, we knew where their penalty takers were going to take their shots. We did all the things that one could possibly do from a professional point of view.

"But it still doesn't change the fact that (Andrea) Pirlo has the incredible confidence at that level of football to chip the ball over the goalkeeper, while our players were desperately trying to do the penalties they practiced and unfortunately it didn't come off.

"Penalty shoot-outs are a game within themselves. Maybe we have got to get better at both games. Maybe we have got to get better at beating teams over 90 minutes, and if we can't do that get better at the game of penalty shoot-outs."

Real Madrid's Cannavaro won't just consider Napoli return

The agent of Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro admits a return to Napoli may not be the veteran's only option.

"The talk at this moment is difficult to consider," said Gaetano Fedele. "The Napoli project is interesting.

"It is an idea that is so far away, we have not considered it (whether Cannavaro would only return to Italy for Napoli)."

Villa signing Salifou gains work permit

Aston Villa's deadline-day signing Moustapha Salifou will finally join up with Martin O'Neill's side after obtaining a work permit.

The 24 year old Togo international, who has signed a one-year deal, has been training with his former club FC Wil in Switzerland until clearance was received.

O'Neill said: "Moustapha had a bit of difficulty in getting a permit but I've been told by the agent he should now be here in the next day or so.

"He obviously hasn't been playing so we will have to have a look and see what sort of shape he is in."

Advantages Of Fishing And How You Can Make Full Use Of It.

The Monterey Bay provides a diversity of seafood throughout every season. We website Port Aransas, Rockport, Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass, Portland and Ingleside On our guided fishing trips Redfish, Speckled Trout, Ebony Drum and Flounder are my customer’s preferred seafood to get. In the summer, fish aboard our 27-foot Sportcraft charter boats. One thing that can probably be said with certainty about fishing for all species of seafood inside inky blackness of night is you only do not fish as if you would in sunlight.

Bottom fishing with lifeless or reduce bait, anchored or drifting from ships. Once you have filled your quota of catch the day, it’s time for your internal cook to take control.

30 Day Challenge: Day 20

No Comments

More than half way done and I am beginning to review my place. Mostly because I never finish anything. Well, I guess that isn’t true. I managed to finish my first book but that came at a cost of sleepless nights and frustrated days. It didn’t help that I was going through a depressive state throughout which made it 100 times harder to get things done.

This is the major reason I over think or re-evaluate decisions. I will challenge myself while in a manic state to jump-start my creative juices. Then in the midst of things I will hit a depressive lull and the entire project will go down the tubes.

That is the loveliness of bipolar. You never know when the manic stage is coming nor when the depression is going to smack you in the face. Aside from not knowing when, you also don’t know how long either of these states will last. Sometimes hours, days or weeks But there is the rare occasion that a stage can last a month or two. While I haven’t had a manic state last that long, I have had depressive ones that seemed never-ending.

Each day is a fight.

Some may think when I don’t post I’m just being lazy. Nope. Aside from all the hats that I wear, some days I am fighting just to do the minimum. This means that I may not get around to posting on that particular day. It’s not that I’m not being consistent at all. It’s probably a day I woke up and had to drag myself out of bed just to get the average stuff taken care of.

Do I like the fact that my blogs suffer due to my illness? Of course not. At this point it’s a matter of getting through it or around it. Bipolar will be a part of my life for the rest of my life. However, it doesn’t have to control my life. This has controlled me for way too long and I am getting to the point where I have had enough.

When I released “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”, it was just a stepping stone for beginning the journey of getting through being bipolar. Now, after nearly a year after it came out, I am still leading the charge in my life. I’ve looked into Depression and Bipolar Associations. It rather sucks because there are no prominent ones in my tri-state area but I think I can change that. People still do not understand the depth in which a disorder like bipolar can change a person, friendship or family. I want to make people more aware.

So this is something else in these 30 days that I’ve had an epiphany on. It’s actually refreshing to openly talk about this with all of you. And hopefully you will help me in support of those who suffer from disorders such as bipolar. We ARE still human even with our quirks.

Condo Insurance

Co-Op & Condominium Insurance Basics

If you have purchased a condo or co-op, the bank will require insurance to protect its investment in your home. You may also need more insurance to cover your personal items, liability or fees that may be charged to you regarding shared areas of the building like the lobby.

You will need two separate policies to protect your investment.

  • Your Own Insurance Policy
    This provides coverage for your personal possessions, structural improvements to your condo and additional living expenses if you are the victim of fire, theft or other disaster listed in your policy. You also need liability protection.
  • A "Master Policy" Provided By The Condo/Co-Op Board
    This covers the common areas you share with others in your building like the roof, basement, elevator, boiler and walkways for both liability and physical damage.

To adequately insure your residence, it is important to know which structural parts of your home are covered by the condo/co-op association, and which are not. Sometimes the association is responsible for insuring individual condos or co-op units, as they were originally built, including standard fixtures. The individual owner, in this case, is only responsible for alterations to the original structure of the apartment, like remodeling the kitchen or bathtub. Sometimes this includes not only improvements you make, but also those made by previous owners. In other situations, the condo/co-op association is responsible only for insuring the bare walls, floor and ceiling. The owner must insure kitchen cabinets, built-in appliances, plumbing, wiring, bathroom fixtures, etc. Be sure to read the association's by-laws and your lease to determine what insurance you should purchase.

Additional Coverage You May Need

Also ask us about the following additional coverages:

  • Unit Assessment
    This reimburses you for your share of an assessment charged to all unit owners as a result of a covered loss. For instance, if there is a fire in the lobby, all the unit owners may be charged the cost of repairing the loss.
  • Water Back-Up
    This insures your property for damage by the back-up of sewers or drains. Water back-up may not always be included in a policy; yet it is the most common claim. Check to see that it is included. If not, contact us.
  • Umbrella Liability
    This is an inexpensive way to get more liability protection and broader coverage than is included in a standard condo/co-op policy. Learn more about Umbrella Insurance policies on our site.
  • Flood Or Earthquake
    If you live in an area prone to these disasters, you will need to purchase separate flood and earthquake policies. Please read more about Flood Insurance and Earthquake Insurance on our site.
  • Floater Or Endorsement
    If you own expensive jewelry, furs or collectibles, you should consider getting additional coverage since there is generally a $1,000 to $2,000 limit for theft of jewelry on a standard policy.

Let us help you assess your insurance needs to protect your condo and its possessions. Contact us today!

    My Dad drove for CF Motorfreight for 29 years, had to retire early due to health, in Phoenix AZ.

    When he died in 2001, NO ONE sent any condolences or flowers from the "Union" or the corp! His "pension" was fixed at $1,800 per month. What a way to go.

    He was a VERY proud CF and Union driver.

    I am his protégé, but with Con-Way Freight. I am just as proud, if not more so, but I could NEVER fill his shoes.

    God be with you L.S. Campbell, and thanks for the memories Dad!

jimmy's world, version 6....

Discussion in 'Politics' started by jimmy g, Dec 20, 2014.

    jimmy g Kook

    Had to start with this:

    "My friend Lowell"

    The story I tell is true. Even I couldn't have thought up this one.

    Years ago, my oldest son was an All Star 7th grade Basketball player. He made all the travelling teams. We drove the state of Indiana from one end to the other several times a week for his games. He was taller than the other kids (now 6'7" , in his mid thirties)..and quite the outside shooter.

    One day at church, an old guy with a gray flattop and sparkling blue eyes came up to me and asked me if he could go along to my son's games with us. The old guy loved basketball. He really believed in my son- Lowell (the old guy) said he wanted to watch him develop into a star.

    Lowell was only about 5'4". He had a deep voice so low you almost couldn't understand it. But he was tough. He'd been quite a worker before he retired. Now, he had a degenerative heart. And they'd found a tumor in his brain. He refused to let them operate- he knew his heart wouldn't survive the operation. On every trip we talked long about life, and it's purpose. Finally, one night I asked Lowell how he went on in such good spirits, knowing his body's situation. He told me "I just wake up and Thank The Lord. I ask Him how I can serve him today. And then I let Him worry about it. I just go and do what I can. When it's time, I'm going home."

    My son had a pretty good AAU season. But at his small Christian Jr-High School, they only had 7 boys for the team next year. Only 3 were going to be 8th graders. 2 were to be 6th graders. One to be 5th, and one 4th. And playing aginst teams from the city that had 15 eigth graders they had no chance. Try matching a 4th grader against an 8th grader and you're soon whooped! They had lost every game that year in school- losing the last one 60-15 to the league champs. And they had no coach.

    Lowell talked to me about this. He knew I understood basketball a lot, and the kids liked me. He convinced me to make a plan, and volunteer to coach. I looked at the team, and convinced myself WE could win the championship next year!

    Our team had 3 decent players. My son could lead the league in scoring. Our small center was a terrific rebounder and had decent moves. My point guard was the problem. He had ADD syndrome. One moment he was an All-Star; the next he was sitting in the stands playing trucks with the 5 year-olds. Next we had to figure how to match 4th and 5th graders against 8th grade giants. I borrowed Larry Brown's 2 low post pick system that freed Reggie Miller for the Pacers (he used the same play for Rip Hamilton on the Pistons). My son would shoot- or pass to the center. If they drew attention and triple-teams- hopefully a 5th grader would make a layup since he'd be unguarded. I posted banners everywhere- 60-15 to remind them of last year's game against the champs; ironicly they would be our first opponent this year as well. I brought in grownups to practice against. My theory is that you improve when you play someone better than you. Grownups can vary talent as they need to against 8th graders. It seemed to work. Otherwise we had no one to practice against anyway.

    So opening night came along. Lowell was too sick to attend. He'd miss almost every game that year. We missed him badly as our inspiration.

    The first game- against the champs, we bolted to a fast start, leading 5-0. We ended the first quarter up 12-4, when my son blocked a shot clean and got called for his third foul. I had to substitute. At halftime, we were down 24-14. Respectable after last year, and we had my son coming back to play. Then our boys started fouling out. We ended the game playing the entire 4th quarter with only 2 players- a 4th grader and a 5th grader- against 5 8th graders--- everyone else had fouled out. We lost. I looked at the scoreboard as I left the floor.....60-15- the same as last year.

    That year we lost the first game by 45 points. The next one by 42. Slowly we improved. We were only losing by 15 now, and getting praises form the opposing coahes and fans. Lowell still was sicker than ever. He never left the house. He barely made it to church- a block from his house. We improved more still- losing by 5, and then three. I prayed to God to let us win one- we played our worst game of the month and were slaughtered. So I guess we were too selfish. We didn't have enough Faith.

    For our last game of the season, we were at home--- against the same league champs (again) that had spanked us in game 1. We took the floor for warmups. My son ran over to me and asked if I saw who was there? I looked up- and in the front row was Lowell! Somehow, we had to play well.

    The boys played as well as I've ever seen them play. At half-time we were winning by one point. No one was in serious foul trouble. We came out inspired for the second half. Maybe we had enough faith after all. We played fantastic. We put the champs on the ropes. It was all ours to grab. With 2 minutes left- we had them down by six. And the champs called time-out.

    Our crowd gave us a standing ovation that seemed to take hours. And all I could see was Lowell- his grin as wide as Texas- his blue eyes sparkling. I knew for once I'd already won!

    The next 2 minutes I've played over in my head ten thousand times. Maybe I hadn't coached them well enough. Maybe our kids were drained. Maybe they'd never expected to win, maybe the didn't have enough faith. Maybe the champs were just that good. They put in 5 fresh boys against our worn-out foul ridden warriors. I watched a full court press that would make Dean Smith's Tarhells proud. Slowly we lost ground, the score tightened to 3 points, ....1 point.... finally the champs took the lead with 10 seconds to go.

    I've played this next play so much in my head it's permantly etched in my brain. I still don't know just how it really happened. Everyone in the gym knew who would be taking the last shot--- my son. Dance with the one what brung ya! I knew they'd be on him- but he was our only chance. Somehow- I'm still not sure how- he caught the ball with his back to the basket and turned and got off a three-pointer with 2 kids in his face, and a third charging him. His shot was to be a microcosm of our whole season. It was high and beautiful- straight as an arrow. Everyone in the gym knew it was going in. And it did--- for a second, almost. Inside the basket, somehow it caught the rim edge and started spinning. It spun for an eternity.....................................and then fell out.

    Our winless season was over.

    Five days later, Lowell died. I had taken a team of kids to teach them basketball. Lowell came and taught them how to live.

    My son eventually transferred to public school- a small school out in farm country. His team went 22-2 and played in the State Semi-States before they were sent home without the trophy. He went to college all day, and worked to pay his own way at night. He graduated with a 3.9 in Political Science.

    One day, shooting hoops, I asked him if he remembered that game against the 8th grade champs. He shot the ball- watched it rip thru the net and grinned. "I think we'd take 'em next time!"

    Never give up!

    [IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]of course, can't be jimmy's world without my old Kook Theory.... Wrote this about 2005 or so. Some has happened, some I missed completely....

    To restart Jimmy's World again, I figure I probably should start right into the meat and potatoes; my Kooky Theory on the End Times of Revelation:

    Here's some of my kooky theory on the End Times (that aren't really the end, but the beginning of the Kingdom of God) to be:

    Rev. 1:1 This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that He could tell his servants what must happen soon."

    Are we to try to not take part in this? In Matthew 24:45-47 we find: "Who are the Faithful and wise servants? Who are the ones the Master will put in charge of giving the other servants their food supplies at the proper time?Servants are fortunate if their Master comes and finds them doing their job. You may be sure that a servant who is always faithful will be put in charge of everything the master owns."

    Almost everyone knows the saying from 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 that says "He will come like a thief in the night"....but people forget the rest of the verse "But you are not children of the night. Others may sleep, but we are awake and alert." Jesus said in Matt 24:25 "But I have warned you ahead of time."

    My Kook theory starts because the Bible tells us all this will happen when there is a reunited Israel. It involves the Books of Daniel, Zechariah, Ezekiel, Matthew, and Revelation. in Ezekiel 37:21 it says " I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land." In Numbers 33:35,36 it says :But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land that I give you, those remaining will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you live." In 1947 the UN was chartered and Israel re-established. The very next day they were attacked.

    In Daniel 7:4 There are nations described, those that will be dominant at the End Time. "The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until the wings were torn off and it was lifted up and stood on two feet like a man and the heart of a man was given to it." England has a lion on her shield. The USA came out of England and goes by both the Eagle and Uncle Sam. Next the other nations described were a bear and a nation with 4 heads that seemed to have recovered from a mortal wound. Russia is easily recognizable to us as a bear. Germany had had 3 Reichs when it was killed- split down the middle. The falling of the Berlin Wall meant the recovery of Germany, and the starting of it's 4th Reich.

    In Matthew 24:34 Jesus said "I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass until all these things have happened."
    Much like Ezekiel 38 describes the same returning of Christ that Matthew 24 does and Revelation does in the 7th Trumpet. All of these have the same earthquakes, the same hailstones, the same mountains collapsing, the same trumpet sounding, the same Son-Of-Man returning in the sky. All have to occur before the return of Jesus. They are said by Jesus to occur in a generation- the Bible says a generation is 70 years plus a few. Yet the Tribulations is told to be the last 3 1/2 years of the Anti-Christ's 7 year reign in power. So I deduct they have to have started well in advance of the Anti-Christ. 98% of Scholars disagree, but I stand by my theory, based on Jesus's saying.

    Almost all of the world terrorism right now goes back to the Battle for Jerusalem. There are peace talks concerning whether or not to split Jerusalem into a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. We know they will. Revelation 11:1-3 says "Go and measure the temple of God and the alter and count the worshippers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the Holy City for 42 months."

    In Ezekiel 38 we are told the names of the nations that will invade Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. They will be led by the Russians with Turkey (Mescah and Tubal) with help from Iran, Sudan, Libya, and the Ukraine (Pershia, Cush, Put and Togarmah). The UN always sends a main army with smaller support- as the US and it's Allies have done in Kuwait and Iraq. They will cross the dried up Euphrates (Iraq and Turkey. Turkey has a huge dam accross the Euphrates, and a electric co-op with Russia.

    In the End, Israel will be shielded from the Tribulations by the wing of the Eagle. Note that when the other Beasts come together to form the One World Beast of Revelation, the Eagle isn't among them anymore. No reason is given. But we're still here- defending Israel.
    If I am right that the Horsemen started in 1933-35, and the last generation is 70 years plus a few, I see us as almost there. So let's look at the Trumpets.

    The first one I can't explain.

    The 2nd is about a war where 1/3 of the ships sink. WWII had 110,000 ships in it (supposedly- I got that figure off End Time ministries. I can't prove it or disprove it.) Supposedly 36,000 sank. Sounds plausable.

    The third tells of (Rev 8:10,11) "A great star, blazing like a torch fell on a third of the rivers- the name of the star is Wormwood. One third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the bitter waters." Chernobyl means Wormwood (a flower-, I think)in Ukranian.

    The 4th- I can't explainE

    the 5th. A locust attack, with human faces, and the sound of their wings was like horses charging into battle. Led by the Destroyer. The Destroyer would bring fire and smoke from the ground and block the sun and the moon for 5 months. This describes the first Gulf War to a tee. Saddam supposedly means the Destroyer, a name given to him for his difficult childbirth. It was a helicopter war, and Saddam set the oilfields on fire leaving Kuwait.

    Revelation 9/11 says their leader was The Destroyer. Note the number. 9/12 says there are two more woes to come, and 9/14 says God will release the angels stored at the Euphrates River to kill 1/3 of man. The Euphrates is in Iraq. The "Kings of the East" from Euphrates could be Iran, or China.

    Which brings us to #6. An Army from the East of 200 million will start a war that kills 1/3 of man. With serpantlike weapons that kill with their heads. I believe we're in between 5 and 6 now. Only something this horrible can take away the "One nation, under God" that blocks the Anti-Christ from claiming power. With us hurting from such a war, power could shift to Europe and the UN. All weapons would be surrendered. A Great Peace Covenant would occur. And the rest, as they say, is history. Bill Clinton sold nuclear missle technology to China. China is friends with Iran. Both have reasons to get into a nuclear war with the US.

    We could possibly have entered into the Confirmation of the Covenant on Sept. 20, 2005 in a meeting in the UN over the borders of Israel, a Palestinain State, and who controls the Temple Mount. "The Roadmap for Peace",, proposed by Bush43, a supposed Christian man, brings on the Confirmation, or Peace Treaty that brings the Anti-Christ to power. Ironic, isn't it? And the Real ID act, or new Federal ID, uses microchip technology to enforce that you must take the ID or you cannot buy, sell, board a plane, hold a job, or have a bank account. That takes effect in 3 years, possibly thru Radio Frequency ID-- possiblty half-way thru the 7 years after the agreement, or at the start of the Tribulations.

    # 7 is the return of Christ at the Battle of Armageddon. Only He can save us from the Tribualtions then.

    So, here are some important things to consider: First, since everyone seems to think China is so powerful right now-- how come it isn't mentioned when the Beasts of Daniel come together to form the Beast of Revelation? (I think it's gone-- they attack us, and we nuke Asia off the map. The world of Revelation seems to only include Europe and the Middle East Region. That means (second) the US is probably uninhabitable as well. But we still are there defending Israel. We have subs around the world, and troops around the world. and missles in space. We can defend Israel without our country physically being here.)

    Third: Why do I think the Catholics are Mystery Babylon? Revelation says her leaders wear red/purple. She sits on all nations, but her headquarters sits on 7 hills (Rome). She's the most powerful. and the "Mother of all Harlots, or false churches. In the Bible, when a church is described, it's called a woman. Ex: When Jesus meets His Bride in the air-- it's His people, or church. Jesus said "no one comes to the Father, except thru me." He didn't say go thru a priest to be forgiven-- only Jesus forgives. He didn't say to pray to a Saint, or a Pope-- he said "Come to Me." Revelation describes the Spanish Inquistion, and popes giving credence to European Leaders, such as Charlemange being crowned by Pope Leo. That's why I see them as the False Prophet, not the Anti-Christ, or the Beast. There's more, but that's a start, anyway....

    My Dad found this 1934 in a barn, all rusted out. There was a 1927 with it. Both were so rusted out, you could literally blow the metal apart. He took everybolt apart, found or made parts, and restored the whole thing. Took 3 1/2 years to do. When he died, this truck followed the hearse in the funeral parade...

    His success from the 34 in his mind, he found this 1942 in an orchard, with an apple tree grown up thru the cab. It was in worse shape than the 34. Another 3 1/2 year project....

    "Some have been visited by Angels without knowing it"

    One day, long ago,while I worked the evening Truck-yard at Preston, a girl drove into the terminal. Off the interstate, past CF's Terminal, past McDonald's, past three other businesses. Past two other guys working in the yard. Straight at me.

    She told me that she'd run away from her abusing husband. She had a small baby with her. She needed money for food for the baby. I had three dollars in my pocket. I gave her two, selfishly saving one for cokes for two days @ 50 cents a piece then) (why didn't I give her all three? Doesn't Jesus tell us to give all that we have and follow Him?) I told her I'd go in and get my Pastor's phone #, and the phone # of the brand new Hope House, a place for those who have fallen on hard times. She said she was going to go get the baby some milk at McDonald's and would return.

    I went inside to look up the numbers. I was intercepted by the Union Steward. It was my time to bid my job for the next 6 months. I got the Lafayette Peddle Run, which I had wanted for a long time. Plenty of OT, a Chance to work days, a chance to see my kids before School; a chance to actually have a family life with my Wife! I called her and we talked with excitement about the new bid......

    I walked outside, and it struck me like a truck. I had failed. I hadn't looked up the phone #s; I had greedily gotten absorbed in my good fortune, and forgotten about the upset girl.

    She never returned. I have no idea what happened to her. I only knew I had failed her, failed God, failed myself. Why had she been absolutely directed at Me, and Me alone???????

    One night, a year later, two kids broke down at the end of my driveway. They had been driving on an uncharging battery. They wanted to know if I could jumpstart them. I put them in the car, drove to Indy, and bought them a battery. I drove them back, and installed it for them. It was charging, so it wasn't their alternator. They said they would return to pay me someday. I told them not to-- that I already owed them, even tho they didn't know it. That the next time they see a kid broken down, help them. It just may be my kids they help........There was no way I was going to fail a second time.....

    "Some are vistied by angels, without knowing it." It's nice to know we get second chances.....

    I wrote this thinking of my oldest's graduation....

    It's graduation time. One I remember stuck with me. My oldest son's. (I talked about him, and his basketball experiences in post #2, above).

    His class had quite a pair of top students, one the Valedictorian, the other the Salutatorian. The Valedictorian was absolutely outgoing. He always had a smile on his face. He was a confident Christian-- telling everyone he knew how he knew God. He was the HAPPIEST kid I ever saw.

    His junior year, he was diagnosed with incurable brain-cancer. He was determined to show the world he was still the fine example of a Happy Christian. He (and his now bald head from the chemo, before they determined they couldn't help him) became a kind of good-luck mascot for the basketball team that year while they went 22-2, and on to the State Playoffs. Ben knew he was dying, but planned out his own funeral ceremony. He visited people and told them of his faith. And that he was going Home to be with The Lord. Eventually, yes, Ben died.

    How did the class handle it at Graduation? They left the Valedictorian's chair open. They draped it with his cap and gown. They placed his diploma on his seat, covered by a bouquet of roses. They showed a slide show of his life. They remembered him in prayer to the audience.

    So who gave the speech? How does the Salutatorian fit into this? There was a problem. The next guy can't speak in public. To say three words meant he'd stutter for five minutes. He is terrifically smart, but simply clams up under the pressure. But he said he'd handle it.

    The Salutatorian walked to the podium. He gave his title of his speech, stuttering it out. "We see miracles all the time, but don't recognize them". Then, he turned his back on the audience, and laid down on the floor, staring at the ceiling. "I can do all things thru He who gives me strength." (From Phillipians, in the Bible). "I bet you never saw anyone give a speech like this before." All this without stuttering a word. He spoke of the miracles of succeeding for 10 minutes, hardly stuttering at all. He was amazing! Inspiring! Everything you could ever ask for!

    When he was finished, there was a standing ovation. And not a dry eye in the house.......

    [IMG]A VERY Dear friend sent me this in an email: I never laughed so hard in my Life!!!!!!

    My husband and I had been happily
    married (most of the time)
    for five years
    but hadn't been blessed with a baby.

    I decided to do some serious
    praying and promised God
    that if he would give us a child,
    I would be a perfect mother,
    love it with all my heart
    and raise it with His word
    as my guide.

    God answered my prayers
    and blessed us with a son.

    The next year God blessed us
    with another son.

    The following year,
    He blessed us with
    yet another son.

    The year after that we
    were blessed with a daughter.

    My husband thought we'd
    been blessed right into poverty.
    We now had four children,
    and the oldest was only
    four years old.

    I learned never to ask God
    for anything unless I meant it
    As a minister once told me,
    "If you pra y for rain,
    make sure you carry an umbrella."

    I began reading a few verses
    of the Bible to the children
    each day as they lay in their cribs.

    I was off to a good start.
    God had entrusted me
    with four children and
    I didn't want to disappoint Him.

    I tried to be patient the day
    the children smashed
    two dozen eggs on
    the kitchen floor searching
    for baby chicks.

    I tried to be understanding...

    when they started a hotel for
    homeless frogs in the spare bedroom, although it took me nearly two hours
    to catch all twenty-three frogs.

    When my daughter poured
    ketchup all over herself and
    rolled up in a blanket to see
    how it felt to be a hot dog,
    I tried to see the humor
    rather than the mess.

    In spite of changing over
    twenty-five thousand diapers,
    never eating a hot meal
    and never sleeping for more
    than thirty minutes at a time,
    I still thank God daily for my children.

    While I couldn't keep my promise
    to be a perfect mother -
    I didn't even come close...
    I did keep my promise
    to raise them in the Word of God.

    I knew I was missing the mark
    just a little when I told
    my daughter we were going
    to church to worship God,
    and she wanted to bring
    a bar of soap along to
    "wash up" Jesus, too.

    Something was lost
    in the translation when
    I explained that
    God gave us everlasting life,
    and my son thought it was
    generous of God to give
    us his "last wife."

    My proudest moment came
    during the children's
    Christmas pageant.

    My daughter was playing Mary,
    two of my sons were shepherds
    and my youngest son was a wise man.
    This was their moment to shine.

    My five-year-old shepherd
    had practiced his line,
    "We found the babe wrapped
    in swaddling clothes."

    But he was nervous and said,
    "The baby was wrapped
    in wrinkled clothes."

    My four-year-old "Mary" said,
    "That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly.

    That's dirty, rotten clothes."

    A wrestling match broke out
    between Mary and the shepherd
    and was stopped by an angel,
    who bent her halo and lost
    her left wing.

    I slouched a little lower
    in my seat when Mary
    dropped the doll representing
    Baby Jesus, and it bounced
    down the aisle crying,

    Mary grabbed the doll,
    wrapped it back up
    and held it tightly as
    the wise men arrived.

    My other son stepped forward
    wearing a bathrobe
    and a paper crown,
    knelt at the manger
    and announced,
    "We are the three wise men,
    and we are bringing gifts
    of gold,
    common sense
    and fur."

    The congregation
    dissolved into laughter,
    and the pageant
    got a standing ovation.

    "I've never enjoyed a Christmas program as much as this one,"
    laughed the pastor,
    wiping tears from his eyes

    "For the rest of my life,
    I'll never hear the
    Christmas story without
    thinking of
    common sense
    and fur."

    "My children are my pride
    and my joy and my greatest
    blessing," I said as I dug
    through my purse for an aspirin.

    Jesus had no servants,
    yet they called Him Master.

    Had no degree,
    yet they called Him Teacher .

    Had no medicines,
    yet they called Him Healer.

    Had no army,
    yet kings feared Him.

    He won no military battles,
    yet He conquered the world.

    He committed no crime,
    yet they crucified Him.

    He was buried in a tomb,
    yet He lives today.

    Feel honored
    to serve such a Leader
    who loves us

    God Bless You All!

    If anyone has a 1889 Remington side by side 12 guage, like I do- have a gunsmith check it for minute cracking. DON'T use modern shells in it! It could explode, and - where are your hands and face when it would???? Not to sound like an advertiser, but I found RST shotshells, from Friendsville, Pa. They supply me with 2 1/2" shells (not modern 2 3/4 or 3". I use 3/4 load, size 7 1/2 shot. Doesn't even kick. My wife can fire it. Still accurate and powerful enough to shoot trap at 50 yards.... There are only a few places that make those UltraLite shells. Get em while ya can! ($10.50 a box of 25/ 105.00 for 250)

    If this is too much like an ad,sorry- delete it...

    Wrote this long ago. Since, all these dogs died or had to be put down in old age, suffering from arthritis. For Christmas, We just got handed another rescue Great Dane!!!!!!

    Dogs and Decks

    I think I married the Smartest Woman in the World-- she loves dogs!!!!!!

    Looking at the Boards tonight, I'm retreating to the Deck of Jimmy's World.

    Most know of my two houses in the plowed fields of Indiana. My Mother In Law's and Mine. Sitting in Light Business/Agricultural Zoned. A Pallet-making Business beside me. A " What is it this week?" Business across the road. Woods and Fields surrounding me. 2 acres-- mostly fenced in so the dogs don't escape, or someone steal them. The 5 dogs have their own Dog Door, so a full time doorman isn't needed.

    Most people cannot believe our Pack gets along. 2 Great Danes; a Mastiff; a Lab, and a Terrier- supposed to be Pit Bull that's closer to a Long-Nosed Staffordshire. These guys play, lay, and eat together. Often, I come home and can't see my bed-- just a giant ball of fur with dogs under it. If one gets grouchy-- the others sense it and they go their different ways. Walk toward the door of the Deck, and they all try to go thru the dog-door at once! Tug of War with a Stick Time!!!!!! The Male Great Dane is huge--40" tall- and the happiest! Danes were bred to run down Wild Boars-- they ARE fast! The big Male must have seen the Clydesale commercials-- he brings tree lmbs to play with!

    The second most happy is the Pit Bull. One never knows what he'll bring in. I've found a dead squirrel he proudly brought to show me next to my bed one morning. I am NEVER bored.....

    The 200 lbs. Mastiff (they were bred to kill Lions. They look muscular and slow-- but He is the most Athletic of the entire group! Knows how to Tackle!!!!) stays by my side constantly as the others play. Adopted me--Standing guard without being trained to. The female Dane comes close-- he knocks her out of the way!

    My Mother In Law sits in her house, watching the neighboring businesses. Says they shouldn't "Be Allowed" to pile things the way they do. Says the other business didn't ask if they could sell this or that. Says my son's truck he has for parts needs to go to a junk-yard. (It will-- after he gets his parts for his pick-up!) She reminds me of several on this board-- nit-picking-- wanting to rule every house but her own!

    Like I said, my Wife is the smartest woman in the world! She grabs my arm-- tells me to bring her a cup of coffee-- and goes to the Deck. One side of the deck is shaded by large maple trees. The other side is full sun. Some of our dogs are in both on the deck as I walk out. The Terrier is along the fence, watching vigilantly for rogue squirrels. My Wife tells me she thinks the squirrels are organizing a Coup-de-ta; she wonders if they won't carry off the Baby-Giant's truck? I hear a Hawk crying overhead-- see my son's pellet gun on the deck; see the Terrier patrolling-- tell my Wife "I think we can hold them off for a few more days, at least".....

    You see- there is Magic in the Deck. The Chairs are movable. We don't have to watch everything my Mother in law complains about. We can swing our chairs around to see God's Boundless Beauty! Rabbits in the fields; hawks watching them from above. My wife's flower garden OUTSIDE the fence (used to be inside-- the dogs trampled it)...The Deck is Peaceful. We can watch the dogs play. We can sit back, relax, and drink our coffee while talking of each other's day.

    This is how America should be-- No Rules! No Busybodies! Just Peace.....

    My kids and I carrying my Dad in 2008. He was given away to an Uncle during the Depression because his parents couldn't afford to feed him. Then drafted, promoted, and went ashore at Normandy. Chased Hitler across Europe, and thru the Battle of the Bulge. He worked at Edgewood Army Chemical Depot for years- they closed the place before he got his full 30 year pension. Bought a farm in 1951, started his own dump truck biz by buying junk trucks and rebuilding them to drive. Always worked 2-3 jobs, rarely rested.

    Once he retired, it wasn't unusual for neighbors and townsfolk to stop in and need cars repaired. He always did- rarely charged them a dime except the parts. Worked on them til aged 80, knees got to him. Finally, at age 86, results from working with nerve gas shut down his liver...... He's buried 100 yards from Zenas MaComber- one of George Washington's bodyguards.

There was a time when this Holland Forum was silent, completely silent for weeks on end, not a single post. And even though I had already left, I went out of my way to keep this Holland Forum active and keep people talking to each other. So don't waste your time telling me to get lost or go away or call me a troll or whatever else. I'll say whatever I feel like saying on here. You don't get to silence people just because you disagree with them.

Its MY truck when I get it for the city and I give a rats ass who drives it at night.

    I finally agree with you on something....there are a ton of Meesters! If you are not in my union anymore than why did you start this all complaining about what trucks guys drive and how they treat others like brothers or not? You do not work here and you do not belong to the union? It is the weekend and you are on a site for a company you don't even work for? I was curious about the actual topic that they were talking about guys getting one hundred percent after thirty days. I have a lot of buddies who are in their first three years and were hoping for a raise like the guys in MN. My wife will be home from a bridal shower shortly so I will be gone till probably next weekend. I just wanted to let you know that your posts on here do me to believe that you are a real dick and you are definitely a troll if you don't work here. By the way I call my best friends Bitch's but no you are not on that last. I know I will see you again on here, just curious do you actually go to the site for whichever non union you work for? See ya around scab!

    Northern Flash COMMON SENSE IS THE CURE.

    Don't run off so soon. I apologize for outing you as the Meester that you appear to be. (although it was your own words that identified yourself.)
    Anyone that's ever worked for Holland knows that the city drivers drive the junk trucks because they are assigned to them. You, however have a nicer line haul truck, so you refuse to even acknowledge the junk that they drive. And don't tell me that they aren't junk because I see them every day. Those city tractors are shameful to say the least.
    And as far as being called a scab, that means nothing to me, especially since most scabs are making more money than you are. Meesters like yourself are exactly what is wrong with your union, and why nobody wants to join. You care about your own truck, but not the city guys who are stuck driving the junk.
    You are the one that made this personal, not me. But when I mentioned Meesters, you got offended. Sounds like a guilty conscience to me.

    By the way, you don't have to currently work for a company to post on their forum, but the odds are, I served a longer sentence at Holland than you have. (and the title of this thread is about the equipment, not the wages.)

    Just so you know my assigned tractor has one point two five million miles, but I keep it clean and take care of it and I can pass most of the new Freightliners so I am happy with it. I wish you knew me better I have my close circle of drivers that have been trying to offend me for years, I have been called a Meester probably a couple hundred times and not been offended yet, and that's by my pals! See ya, got to get ready to watch the Game of Thrones finally for the year!
