Just checking in … still alive February 6, 2006

Hello again …
Yes, I’m still alive. I went out the other day (after the rain) and made a few brush piles [by hand] on my land and caught a bit of a cold. Now that I have a sore throat, I’ll be working indoors for a few days. I’ve not had many reload moments lately, or at least cannot remember them right now.
I did give a little talk about ham radio to the cadets at the local Civil Air Patrol Saturday. Perhaps a reload would be in order there as I took some cold medicine before the talk and don’t clearly remember all that I said. Mine was a small part of the talk though, as I had a couple of other speakers there who did most of the presentation — so all is well.
I thought about Yvonne’s comments the other day when I read the news about the bull jumping into the stands before the matador could kill it. That was a true reload moment; although not a personal one for me as I wasn’t there. Then we get into the whole concept of changing history for the good of mankind — and the consequences thereof. {Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a spell checker like Word has in this post window so I wouldn’t have to run two windows at once? Or perhaps I should reload and pay attention in english class so I would know how to spell [and compose].} Brings to mind the Back to the Future movies; doesn’t it? But then again, If man where to control time and events; wouldn’t that be contrary to God’s will? Would we really learn life’s lessons if we could back-up and remove the pain and sufferings of life? More realistically, wouldn’t man just overload the reload machine trying to use it for each and every thing we would desire changed? And what would the world be like if we all had the ability to make ourselves the persons we wanted to be? How could we all be ruler of the world, and the richest person on earth? Looking at history, American history that is, the government would own the reload machine and the already rich and powerfull would deny its existence and use it to ensure their dominance of the country. I must be careful now; I’m starting to sound like those that I tell “If you don’t like it, go live elsewhere!“
Completely off subject here … What am I suppossed to do with the box to the right labeled Post slug? OK, as if the word blog wasn’t odd enough [is it really short for web log or is that just my twisted mind's definition?], the word slug in reference to a post has to sound strange to more than just myself. Although … I once saw a slug crawling [or whatever it is they do to move] on a post. Ok, the cold medicine must be starting to work so I’ll close now so I don’t have to reload this post; which brings to mind another thought: Would edit be another word for reload?
Maybe some day before I die, someone will edit me and give me the ability to compose using a single train of coherent thought. [and while you are at it, add the ability to spell]
A little bit of many things … January 23, 2006

Hello again.
Nothing much new here. The past couple of days have been spent updating ham radio web pages and dealing with the teenaged daughter’s struggles in life. Saturday the wife and I attended a get together at a friend’s house. I got out my MiniLST R/C truck and give it a good exercise Saturday night. I spent Sunday being a little depressed but nothing serious, just didn’t get my nap out. Monday morning is here and I feel much better yet am not motivated to accomplice much. Maybe if I get away from the computer and get outside in the cool air? Maybe more posting tomorrow; here’s wishing you a great week!
