BACK TO OUR HOUSE ON OTTOBINE ROAD....
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY....
Father driving. Mother reading road signs while holding baby, Jerry. 1954.
Driving by the cemetery on the right, Father followed Herring's Hill to the
top and down and to the left into a dip and then slightly up and mostly
straight on the two-lane road that is State Route 42. A large brick house on the
left was of that time and maybe a pond just to its south.
Mostly farmer's field on the left and the right and owned by the Mennonites
who were of the Old Order type. (Old Order meaning not using modern
conveniences such as electricity, gas powered vehicles, relying on horse and
buggy for going from one place to another and horses for pulling of farm
implements).
Related to that to some extent is what I saw at a grocery store yesterday in
Orrville, Ohio just about 3.7 miles from the house. I saw a horse and buggy
hitched up to a hitching post at the store. Most of the Amish live in Holmes
county at least 10 miles to the south of here and there are other grocery stores
much closer in Kidron and Apple Creek. Me being overly friendly like I told
you before, I would have ask them, but they where in the store.
And the horse was switching his/her tail. The flies are dead. It's too cold. Must
be a genetic thing.
And by the way, Orrville, Ohio is the home of the J. M. Smucker Company.
"With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good."....

CHILD DISCIPLINE
I have decided to talk on a more variety of subjects and just the not the same old
thing day in and day out. I know you're bored by that and I am too. Just imagine you
and I sitting across the table from each other having a fish sandwich, the fish taken
from a can. You know I like fish, don't you? So, you pretend your are only listening
and I'm doing all the talking. And you know I've got a big mouth, too.
Today I'd like to talk about child discipline. I'm a little old for that, but I have a
fairly good memory of disciplining my own children and me being disciplined as
a kid by my parents:
1. Set the example and that means a good example, not a bad example. One of the
the main components of military leadership is to set the example for the soldiers
that you are responsible for. My Father and Mother set a good example for me and
I believe I set a good example for my two sons. The both of us parents set the
example in the southern way of politeness and there was no waiver for that:
REFER TO THE QUOTE ABOVE.
But I guess I ain't really never asked if I set a good example and maybe their
answer might be no.
2. Some so-called child experts say to reward good behavior. NO. As long as the
kids are behaving themselves why give them money or gifts for something you
expect them to do anyway. But you can reward bad behavior:
REFER TO THE QUOTE ABOVE.
3. The child experts say to set rules. Sure, I agree with that. But if your kids don't
obey the rules, what do you do?
REFER TO THE QUOTE ABOVE.
4. The experts say to settle arguments between your children or you and your
children. Let the children settle their own arguments. They are going to have to do
that when they grow up anyway. As far as an argument between you and your child
you know what I'm going to say, don't you? Yes, you're right:
REFER TO THE QUOTE ABOVE.
Well, that's about all I can think of right now. I hoped you learned something and to
tell you the truth I don't know if I did or not. Most all of the situations with kids
seemed to be resolved with only one solution.

HEALTH
I spent two weeks in a crazy part of a hospital once. They said I was crazy as hell
when I went in and after many psychiatric evaluations and experimental drugs, I
was released more "crazy as hell" because of all the other patients, like me, that I
had to deal with who were also "crazy as hell."

THE US PRESIDENT ELECT
I have some knowledge of lobbying, but not being a political insider, I know less
than most.
1. Because of first amendment rights (free speech), lobbyists (mostly lawyers) are
allowed to influence congress, federal agencies and others for special favors for
the companies they represent.
A recent estimate says there maybe as many as 100,000 lobbyists and that their
request for special favors brings in $9,000,000,000 each year.
If you take the population of the US at a rounded figure of 319 million (2014) that
would pay ($4.30) for a decent meal at McDonald's for every man, woman and child.
If you took the world population at around 7 billion (2011), every woman, man
and child would get almost 7 cents and the child street beggars of poorer nations
would think that it was a fortune.
Note: Cortana is on this computer. I had to ask her if the computer had a calculator.
Well, thankfully, it does. Sometimes Cortana doesn't cooperate like I want her to.
It probably has to do with her time of the month if you know what I mean.
2. The president elect has promised to "drain the swamp" meaning, at least to
me that he plans to get rid of the present lobbyists (foreign and domestic) and
maybe replace them with less of the new? His plan is that all former lobbyists
must wait 5 years before being to register as a lobbyist again and this same
policy will apply to all officials leaving the government for whatever reason.
MY OPINION
Why in the @#$% don't he get rid of the lobbyists altogether. They're just taking
from you and me.

I went out to the garage (3:31 AM 11/23/2016 EDT) this morning for what I call the
"nectar of the Gods." Coffee. If it weren't for coffee, I wouldn't have the adrenaline
and energy I do. I tried other caffeine drinks like Mountain Dew, but only once.
They say that "white men can't jump," but I jumped all over the place that day.
Just for your information they say that people, mostly kids, in the mountain areas
of Appalachia and the Rocky Mountains have "Mountain Dew Mouth" meaning
their teeth are being destroyed by that soda that is made by Pepsi. Of course it
don't effect me none because I have falsified teeth.
I got a lot done in the yard yesterday. I brought up the last load of good dirt from
the back southwest corner flower bed and dumped and leveled it out on the slope
of the yard near the back deck. I threw the last bag of black mulch on the same
back corner bed where I had dug and loaded everything that didn't belong to
nature on on the cart and brought it up and placed those items in to the garage.
Those "items" were watering cans (4), flower pot, 13-13-13 fertilizer which I used
later, safflower seed in a red Folger's coffee container (I bought this to feed the
birds, but they ate not one seed. I don't know what happened. If I remember it,
I'll googled it), gallon and smaller plastic containers filled with water for drinking,
and other items that I don't remember.
Out to the garage (5:04 AM 11/23/2016 EDT) again for my 2nd pot of coffee and
a delightful oyster sandwich. Same temperature, same wind chill as stated in
"*Bill watching TV and me listening (4:44 AM 11/23/2016 EDT)" above under
MY OPINION.
