STORIES OF MY LIFE AND TOLD IN ONE DAY....
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY....
"I will give you a hint of what I'm working on. It is the biggest bestseller of all time,
the greatest story ever told and it is a story of which I know very little about.
Until tomorrow."
I don't know exactly where to start today so let's start from the beginning.
Genesis, the first book of the Bible. I told you before that my Grandmother
Cline read the whole Bible 15 or 16 times (I use to know exactly, but my
memory is fading faster than I'm remembering) and I believe she read the
whole Bible one time for me.Well, you of much faith know that Adam and Eve
were the first man and woman and their first born was Cain and Eve said, "I have
had a male child with the Lord's help." Adam and Eve's love produced Cain's
brother, Abel. Cain, the first born became a farmer and his brother, Abel
became a shepherd.
After a period of time both Cain and Abel presented an offering to the Lord. The
Lord regarded Abel's offering of a sheep as a blessing and Cain's offer of farm
produce to be unworthy. As the biblical story goes, Cain became furious and down-
cast. After being chastised by God, Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the
field" and while they where in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed
him (Genesis 4:1–8). Why would God reward the one who worked least?
So, where am I going with this? Well, just because I'm talking about the Bible, it
surely ain't to Heaven.
You might recall in a much earlier story of my life about the "Old Vagabond" who
stayed and slept in his old truck beside me in Mother's Honda in the parking lot
of a Walmart in Las Vegas.
If we can pretend that the "Old Vagabond" (he called himself Mike) was a copy of
of Abel and me much like Cain. Abel as you know from the Bible was a shepherd
who left most of the work to his sheep dog while Cain, like me in the flower beds
and the yard, toiled endlessly to produce a good crop. Abel and the "Old
Vagabond" were similar in that both where somewhat lazy because the "Old
Vagabond" only wanted to straighten studs as in construction.
The only difference between the "Old Vagabond and I and Abel and Cain was that
I didn't kill the "Old Vagabond", (but I thought about it sometimes because of his
constant whining), and he wasn't my brother. So in the end and before I left the "Old
Vagabond" and Las Vegas he turned out not to be my friend after all because, as
I've said before, all my friends are strangers.

HEALTH
*I'm chauffeuring again today to drive Bill to the Wooster Walmart for his
appointment at the Vision Center at 10:00 AM. It looks like they would charge
him half price because he lost one eye when a boiler blew up aboard ship
when he was in the Navy. He was flown to Vietnam and then on Bethesda or
Walter Reed where he stayed six months to recover. I know that the Walmart
Vision Center will not charge Bill only half price but they should give him a
veteran's discount of 10% like Lowes, Ace Hardware and Home Depot do to
show their support for our troops, but they won't.
I also have to buy somethings for myself. I need American Flag patches,
hummus and whole berry cranberry sauce. I saw a sign on the way going to
or coming back from Walmart that said "sewing" and I need to have zippers
replaced on two items of clothing the flag patches on about 10 items of clothing,
Walmart does not carry more than 4 flag patches at one time, so I might have to
order the flag patches online.
9:21 AM 1/27/2017 EST. APPOINTMENT CANCELLED. After I had already
dressed and gather things up other things that I needed to take with me Bill
said he had cancelled his appointment. So I decided to go to plan number 2.
Instead of driving to Wooster, I drove to Orrville by myself to get some things
that the house and I needed. I went to Restoration Thrift to drop off a donation
of clothing and then went inside to see if they had another heavy coat that I
needed. I didn't find a coat but I found some well insulated brown pants and,
of course, all polyester and the tag was orange so I paid 1/2 price. I then went
to Save-A-Lot and bought some groceries and other items both the house and
I needed. And then to Family Dollar the third in a row and attached to each other.
They did not have what I wanted, Rid X, so I drove across town to Ace Hardware.
They had the Rid X that I wanted and I then showed the clerk my military card
for 10% off. Needing nothing else, I came back to the house.

*The opinion is that in the end Americans will pay for the Border Wall. 12 to 15

MY OPINION
I do not want to pay for the Border Wall. If we put the national guard and/or
Army reservists at the border we would still be paying because we would be
paying them. My solution would be to unload most of worse prison inmates
and have them guard the border with no weapons with Homeland Security
officers stationed about every mile or so with long range binoculars and
sniper rifles to guard the inmates. If the inmates are so tough they should be
able to handle and retain border crossers with hands and feet.
*President Trump is expected to talk to German Chancellor Angela Merkel on
Saturday and their conversation is reported to center around Russia.
*A first phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President
Donald Trump has been scheduled for tomorrow.
*Trump is considering a 20% tax on imports from Mexico to pay for the Border
Wall and is also looking for other options.
*Vice President Pence promises to end abortion funding with Trump's pick for
the Supreme Court in the likeness of the late Anthony Scalia as he addresses a
large demonstration of mainly women anti-abortionists in Washington. He is the
first sitting Vice-President to address a demonstration.
*Trump says it is too soon to consider lifting Russia's sanctions with Prime Minister
May saying the sanctions should stay for now.
*The president along with Prime Minster Teresa May of Great Britain are just
now 2:04 PM 1/27/2017 EST fielding questions from the media in a joint news
conference.
*Trump says that he has empowered the Secretary of Defense James Mattis to
make the decision on the use of torture.
*The new ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has warned member
nations to step up and do their part.
* Chelsea Manning, the traitor, who was released early from Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas (the military's prison which has 6000 acres on the Missouri River) has
called former President Obama a "weak leader"as Trumps says releasing her
was a mistake.
*Cher is being interviewed right now 2:56 PM 1/27/2017 EST and says women
were not afraid enough on November 8, 2106 and maybe did not even vote
hence Trump's win and not a win for Hillary Clinton. She went on to say that she
does not like or respect Donald Trump.
*Trump says he behind NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) 100%.
*Just learned that President Trump has had a long phone with a leader in Mexico.
The phone call was reported "friendly" with friendly in quotes.
*3:39 PM 1/27/2017 EST. An Indian immigrant woman and Muslim who voted for
Trump is being interviewed on TV. She is very well-spoken and would be a
needed diverse addition to the Trump administration.
*The U.S. 26th Secretary of Defense, James "Mad Dog" Mattis, age 66, has
already been sworn in but now, 4:32 PM 1/27/2017 EST, he will be ceremoniously
sworn in by Vice-President Mike Pence with President Trump to speak after that.
The retired Marine general is well thought of by almost everyone.
