STORIES OF MY LIFE AND TOLD IN ONE DAY....
The old vagabond parked his old beat up truck several parking spaces from me
in the parking lot of Walmart in Las Vegas. I'd been there several days, sleeping
in Mother's Honda, before I met him. He told me many times about his misspent
youth, saying that now he suffered various ailments because of that. He was about
ten years younger than me but acted like a man of 80 or more. He would, like me,
go in to the Walmart to pee, both of us walking in, separately usually, but I walked
back and he on an electric scooter. When he did have to shop, he used the
shopping cart as a walker like some other old folks do leaning over the hand helds
of the cart and pushing.
He had a small Social Security check as a monthly income, but needed to supple-
ment that with some work income. He had a job working 1 or 2 days as a driver at
a auto auction, driving the vehicle onto a platform where those wanting cars bid
for them. The other job he had had and wanted to do again was in straightening
studs in construction. That's the only job he wanted to do. Straighten studs. He
surely was not an all around carpenter like there is in my Caricofe family tree.
He would always invite me to go along to see a "copy band" perform, but I
declined because I do not like acid rock and such, I prefer down home
country music.
I believe he wanted me to be his friend, but I have no friends, all my friends are
strangers and he was not a stranger any more.
I guess I should have felt sorrow for him, but I didn't because he couldn't pick
himself up and move on just like my Uncle Paul.
I helped him several times. Once I took him to a repair shop to get a part for his
old truck and he asked me several other times to look on the computer for
construction jobs in either Oregon or Colorado. He said he had friends there
and he would phone the construction company if I found available jobs.
I'm assuming he only asked for stud straightening jobs.
He did help me once. I had a bowel exam schedule and their requirement is that
you must be driven to and from the surgery site. I believe I either paid him $5
or $10 to drive me.
I guess in the end I didn't feel sorry for him. He made his own bed, let him lie in
it.
He phoned me maybe 10 times after I left Las Vegas and I just let it ring without
answering. Will God have questions for me for doing that? Probably.

WORLD
*Nearly 50 people were killed when a car bomb exploded in a Syrian town,
held by rebels, along the Turkish-Syrian border.
*The springs that supply Damascus, Syria's main water supply to 4 million people
is held by the rebels and was knocked out of service recently. The Syrian
government has supposedly sent repair teams to to the site, but have been
prevented from entering because of the fighting.
The Syrian government' s main support comes from continued Russian air strikes
and Iranian ground forces.
*In a suicide bomb attack, at least 7 are dead in Baghdad, Iraq.
*In a Palestinian truck-ramming attack at least four Israelis are killed.
*President Obama will send 300 Marines to Afghanistan to logistically assist
Afghan security forces fighting the Taliban.
MY OPINION
Let's bring all our soldiers home. Let the Arabic and/or the Muslim world settle
their own differences. We no longer have to consider oil as a reason for being
there so let's just bring our soldiers home.

*The Kentucky state legislature passed a bill outlawing abortions after 20 weeks.
The only exception is if the mother's life is in danger. There is no provision for
incest or rape. Republican Governor Matt Bevin said that he will sign the bill.
* Doctors at the University Hospital Limerick in Ireland have discovered a new
organ in the body. Since an organ must perform a vital function, "a swath of tissue"
named the mesentery does just that. In order for the the pancreas, small intestine
and colon to do their jobs they need something to hold them in place and the
mesentery performs this vital function.

The security box just inside the back door displays exactly the highs and lows of

the 2 gauges on the deck and the American flag on the border corner pole for
speed and wind direction.
Just got back. The temperature is 6°, the humidity is 72%, the wind is blowing in
from the west and slightly north at about 5 mph and the sun is beginning to show
itself in the eastern sky.
I usually do everything for myself not wanting to rely on anyone. I'm now
washing and drying my one pillow case, bed cover that I sleep on, my sleeping
bag which I use as a top cover and some various clothing made of polyester.
I'm also going to have my first sandwich of today (9:19 AM 1/8/2017 EDT). I
might as well forget about that "intermittent fasting" I told you about. Just like
I typed yesterday "maybe tomorrow." I'm going to have one of my favorites, a
Orleans sardine sandwich and I'm going to make my 2nd pot of coffee.
