OUR HOUSE ON THOMPSON STREET ....
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY....
I cannot remember much more about this house on Thompson Street or any of
the other houses we lived in in Dayton. And like I told you before, I only
remember the insides of one and that was our house on Ottobine Road.
Today I'll tell you a little bit more of the jobs I had in my early life, maybe from
my age of 21 to 30. I never intended to work a job more than a year or so
because I wanted the adventure of a different job, thus a different life
experience.
I told you before that I started out hitch-hiking, but didn't tell where I was
planning to go. It was New Orleans, but I got a ride from a man who wanted me
to help him drive to Houston so that's where I ended up at. My first job, I
believe, was a roofer's helper. The roofer was a difficult person to satisfy so I
eventually quit. This was at the time I told you about before when I stayed in
the boarding house, 3 meals a day, 7 days a week and a cot to sleep on in a
room shared by me and maybe 7-9 other men. Companies at that time didn't
want to hire young men of draft age which included me. I remember sitting in
a chair along with other job seekers in the Texas Employment Commission
for business's to call in wanting people for day work. I remember one job I got
for a day only and that was to place chairs down in a church. I cannot remember
the hours worked or the pay.
I used a city bus to get from place to place or walked if it was just a short
distance.
I remember another job I wanted because it was union and good pay. It was
described as hard work helping to lay oil pipline. When I talked to the man
who was hiring he said he was looking for dark skin workers, like Hispanic
or blacks. He said that I would, being white skinned, would burn up in the sun.
I tried to argue my case to no avail.
My next job was full time and involved....

MY OPINION
I know I told you all before about that fat (around 300 pounds and almost a
midget in height) no account &%$# dictator in North Korea. He' eating himself
to death, I hope, while his people, except for the military, are starving.

I believe that I said yesterday or the day before that the Finnish President
spoke with US President-elect Donald Trump about their respective country's
relations and Finland's 100th Anniversary of Independence from the Soviet Union.
I was in the Republic of South Korea in 1965-1996 as a member of the United
States Army. It was then one of the most peaceful places on earth at the time.
Not now.
Just today, South Korean lawmakers impeached President Park Geun-hye, in
a fall from grace. After official documents are given to the Blue House, Park
will no longer be president of our longstanding ally. Prime Minister Hwang
Kyo-ahn, will take over the reigns of the South Korean government until the
Constitutional Court decides that Park must give up the presidency on a
permanet basis.

"Healthy as a horse" is an expression I've heard before. I believe that I'm

I ain't never, as far as I know, been a horse before.

VENGEANCE
President Obama in a speech at McDill Air Force Base said that American's
fight on foreign soil has changed from many "boots on the ground"to just a
few that are needed to advise, train and lead our allies against the Islamic State
and other terror groups. He said he was the first President to serve 2 full terms
at war.
I agree with the change in part. I still believe that we could use our very elite
specials forces in 3-5 groups to kill the head leaders of the terrorists just like
we did in Pakistan in the killing Osama Bin Laden. Some terrorists military
groups do not train their soldiers in leadership skills, like we do. and would
be immesely hurt without trained leaders.

THE US PRESIDENT ELECT
*The President-elect is down to 2 main choices for Republican National
Chairperson. He will choose between Priebus's choice, Michigan GOP chair-
woman and niece of Mitt Romney, Ronna Romney and Mike Pence's chose
of an outsider, Nick Ayers. The bets are that Trump will pick Priebus's chose.
*The DREAM Act is the House bill HR 1842 and Senate bill S952. This act lays
down the requirements for immigrants allowed to remain in the US:
1. Any illegal immigrant who came into the US before the age of 16.
2. Has lived in the US for at least 5 years in a row.
3. Is now under 35 years of age.
4. Have a high school diploma or GED.
5. Attend two years at a 4-year college or serve 2 of 8 years in the US military.
6. There is no English requirement.
7. Waivers for the above requirements may be made for hardship.
There are an estimated 11-20 million dreamers in the US.
*Rep. Steve King said there is a lot of bad (criminals) people among the
DREAMers. He always has a lot to say too.
MY OPINION
Number 6 aggravates me. That should be, before all others, the number 1
requirement. We won our freedom from England. They spoke English.
and the English who migrated to this land spoke English. English is our
national language. We need this language to communicate with others.
I believe that it would be quite simple to require mandatory classes in English
whether in the high school, GED, 2 years of college or in the 2 years of military.
That's my thoughts on this subject.
*Stephen Moore, American documentary filmmaker and author, says to get rid
of all Obamacare Mandates first. Moore's got a big mouth. Whether its wrong or
right, he's always got to say something about everything. He resembles that
North Korean dictator, fat, but a little taller.
*President Reagan's son, Michael Reagan: Twitter allows Trump a better and a
more expansive way to communicate.
*I see that Harry Reid said recently of Trump, "Not as bad as I thought he would
be." Reid, has officially bid farewell to Washington where he has been for the
last 30 years. I don't know how the congress has put up with that long a time, but
I hope Nancy Pelosi, who I call his fraternal twin, is next.
*The New York Times says that Christie is now out of the running for the RNC
Chair.
I believe that the New Jersey governor should go on back to New Jersey.
"Bridgegate" has hurt him more than he thinks.
*Green Party candidate Jill Stein has suffered setbacks in Michigan and
Pennsylvania. The latest court rulings prevent voting recounts in these states.
Wisconsin is in its 8th day of recounting and the recount is expected to
cost $3.9 million.
Give it up Jill, even it turned out that Hillary won the state, those 10 electoral votes
would mean that she'd (Hillary) still come up short of 270.

WEATHER
Weather for Smithville, Ohio
Today CLOUDY 31° 19°
Sat PARTLY_CLOUDY 28° 21°
Sun SNOW 32° 30°
Mon CLOUDY 36° 18°
The Weather Channel - Weather Underground - AccuWeather
The above weather forecast is wrong and it sucks. It was only suppose to snow on
the Sabbath, but it snowing now. Not much, but only 1 flake is too much for me.
Went out to the garage (3:24 AM 12/9/2016 EDT) and guess what? My coffee pot
was froze up. So I brought the coffee maker, the coffee pot, the coffee filters and
the Folgers coffee inside to warm up. After I cleaned it up I poured in the water,
placed a filter in the container at the top and after 15 seconds I could hear the
coffee maker start to growl. It still works and after about 20 minutes I had a pot
of coffee.
No wonder it was frozen. The temperature is 28° and the wind is like a dust
storm of snow, not brown but white of course. The snow flakes are too small to
see in the light of the garage and the wind is whipping up at about 15 mph
and the humidity is the same as yesterday at this time, a reading of 69%. Using
the dew point calculator at http://www.dpcalc.org/, I get a reading of 19%, 10%
less than yesterday's reading of 29%.
For my breakfast sandwich of the day (5:18 AM 12/9/2016 EDT) I'm having
Orleans Sardines in soybean oil and a product of Poland and with a natural
smoked flavoring. And, of course, 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread and a
hint of mustard. I just opened the can and drank the soybean oil out and what
a surprise. About 11-12 sardines, almost like King Oscar and about half the
price. I cannot remember where I bought them at, but when I do I'll buy a dozen.
Update: Drove (10:12 AM 12/9/2016 EDT) to Rite Aid among other places and
they have a special section labeled $1. Orleans Sardines. I bought six and I'm
happy about that.
Just saw on TV (5:05 PM 12/9/2016) that Kirkland, Ohio has 14 inches snow.
If we get that much, I'm leaving.
