Work is back for the pool season.

Amazingly all pool customers wait to

 get ready for spring at the same time.

Now, the phone is ringing. I hate the phone.

I am trying to figure a way to never speak into a

telephone again ever. Email? No not yet,

the prefered method of communication.

Intant messaging while driving... It's the new

 way of talking. "Everybodys talikng..

  Buddy let your mind grow long.."

I get short naps sometimes,

when baby Joe is asleep.

and all the time the phone wakes the whole house.

Why do people lie, when asked, Did I wake you?

and  people say "Oh not at all , I've been up for hours!"

I  am still getting over a cold and my wife is sick and

 our son is getting well.  We sleep when we can.

Tele-marketers are baaaack! I hate these imbeciles

 that call and bug, and try to sell some stupid bullshit.

Work tomorrow when it is not raining. Here it pours,

in the spring and winds are strong.

Baby Joe is finally getting over a cold.
This is his first and I hope last.
I know kids are constantly sick and
not much can be done to avoid illness.
Our baby boy has not ate normally in 9 days.
He coughs and spews up any food or milk,
that we feed him.
It  pains me to see him hack and cough.
If our son has needed constant attention,
he has had it for certain during this cold.
I will remember these days every time we go in
public. I will wipe down and sanitize any thing
he touches. We are through the worst of it now.
Joe and I will resume our walks again tomorrow.

Joe goes to South Carolina
We finally got out to old S.C. to introduce our
Little Champ to his S.C. kinfolks. We had a great
time and the 5 day visit went too fast.
We did get to see Middleton Gardens and Plantation.

Beware of your son scouting out for "camel toads"

Today we had a long drive to the country.
My wife, infant son and I  traveled  through a
nest of  Christian, right wing Republicans
 living in a place in N.E. Texas called "Paradise".
Graveyards of rusted automobiles and
miles of trailers and some actual human
 graves lined our roadway, far deep into
what was once farm and cattle country.
We saw churches, some across the road
from each other. Baptist churches, Sprawl-mart
stores. Paint and body shops, statues and
monuments sold by the roadside.
Many people here are searching for the
American dream. Average Texans living
on police, or service industry wages find
cheap land and build nice modern houses
far far away from any city.
We saw huge pickup trucks averaging
7 mpg on the many miles of 2 lane blacktop.
I wonder how much and how fast things
 will change when fuel is $4 per gallon.
We did find a bargain way out in the
country. We finally bought a hot tub a steal
at $750. My wifes birthday present, we both will
enjoy. This long long trip was worth it . It is
an education to see how the world lives
in the U.S.A.
