Might be some stuff over there

Here ya go

Weary, weary,
he travels on,
steps slow,
faultering gait,
lids heavy,
outlook bleak,
he sees no end,
no destination.

Plodding on,
day by day,
hour by hour,
growing weaker,
less determined,
tired, worn,
frazzled and listless,
losing ground.

Uncaring, seeking rest;
darkness.

Took wife on vacation last week. Left Wednesday and drove down into MD and WVA, wound up crossing WVA and stayed at Parkersburg. Blah. Not a pretty city by any stretch of the imagination. Them WVA drivers? They’s a bit crazy. I live in the hills and drive twisty turnies all the time, but dear Lord, them ppl think it’s the Indy 500, even in the pouring rain.
Spent the night in the flea bag EconoLodge – you know, right beside the strip club….

Next day after no sleep from the lack of an A/C that worked, crossed the Ohio (once mighty, back in the 1800’s – now a big old barge ditch with no charm at all) into Marietta. Now THAT was a nice city. Rain stopped, so wife and I bantered about town, seeing the sites. HOT and HUMID, but nice.
Back on the road, taking the Father Highway, 30, East toward home. Got a tad ‘fused around Pittsburgh (hello, downtown at rush hour!), used the faithful GPS to get the hell out of Dodge, and stayed at Lingolier for the night in the Ramada Suite. Okay except for the high school cheerleaders who were also camping out at the hotel. Good gracious girls (AND parents), shut up and sleep for once!

Friday we took a slow trip home in the pouring rain, stopping for lunch along the way.

All in all, it rained 2 of the 3 days, drove over 700 miles, stayed at bad motels and ate bad food… and I loved every minute of the time alone with my wife.

And now? Here I am, back at the job I hate…

*sigh*

Well, as those few who still follow me via blog have noticed, I’ve pretty much given up posting, again.
However, it’s not for lack of having anything to say – rather, it is that I’ve changed the medium used to convey my thoughts.

Therefor, for those who have my email address OR who leave a comment – let me know and I’ll shoot you a note or email with my Twitter name, and you can follow me there!

Thanks!

And has no one figured out that by paying the US workers TWICE as much money as the foreign competitors, AND promising to take care of them until they are 100 years old is WHY the Big 3 are in the shape they are in? The workers had it great for a long, long time, but now that it is time to pay the Piper…
Good Lord people, grow up.

We guess with a name like Marion, a guy might have to make himself into a John Wayne. Western movie icon John Wayne was born
Marion Morrison on this date in 1907. His breakthrough role was in John Ford’s Stagecoach in 1939; “the Duke,” as he was
often called, went on to star in dozens of films, including Fort Apache (1948), Sands of Iwo Jima (1949), The Quiet Man (1952) and The High
and the Mighty (1954). The Searchers (1956), Rio Bravo (1959), The Alamo (1960) and The Green Berets (1968) further sealed his
place in history as the strong, imposing hero. By the time he got to play
marshal Rooster Cogburn in
True Grit (1969),
Hollywood was ready to give Wayne his Oscar for
Best Actor.

Quote: “Tomorrow
hopes we have learned something from yesterday.”
