Friends and Foe alike,
I don't know what kind of day this will be. Lonely or inclusive!
I'm tired today for good reason who knows if it was even for a bad reason.
I'm not depressed. I didn't intentionally stay up all night trying to get rich quick or save a wonderful life- business, family and security!
I didn't take "my Adderall" late in fact I took it too damn early for just one a day which don't tell anyone but I meant it yesterday when I said the squirrels and Today I'm adding one Heck of a fine
Yorkshire Terrier on my list that I wish could talk!
I didn't really pay attention to the game last night like I would want too if I were a reporter. Thus the short but sincere post on North Carolina! No I'm not gay I'm just a man that enjoys competition especially now that I'm older and so-called wiser!
I have no problem with anyone that is Gay, I'm just not so when I show the caring side of me or the sentimental side it may be over War or competition especially if you have overcome the odds!
I did stay at the Hotel California last night and if you know what that means then you have been there! Yes I have been there just Bama style and it the one in California!
Well she is a fine dog but she is wanting to go for a ride or wants some breakfast and I'm either worn out from taking too much Diphenhydramine laced Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen which normally two will do it!
Like I said if you haven't been there you don't know!
As for me the best place I've ever been in my life was to
Jamaica where I met people from all over the world like me on a budget and for God's sakes if you haven't been you need to go! Your eyes will be opened to a world that has much less worry except your cell phone doesn't work so you'll worry what's going on with your Company!
If you don't bob Marley then you wouldn't like me much or Jamaica but you try it because it like said it is whole different world with a
KFC that you don't won't to visit anyway!
Why? Because the food is so damn good it will bring tears eyes literally that is what the bread fruit for! Everything else is so pure you'd think you'd died and gone to heaven, the Tea taste like cool-aid and I didn't see any pine trees but damn the pine was so fresh in the air you'd have thought you had cut a tree down!
You want to bring some the Island back with you but like they say they say at the Airport in
Montego Bay just past Margarittaville "don't worry maan" your not in States anymore upon arrival!
You think "worried I didn't ask anyway?" But I'm sure glad you it brought up; and you and you and you and every body else you meet!
I wondered why on the standing room only plane why everybody was so excited because it was like I had just left a war I was involved in winning but was worn out from and needed some R & R back home in Alabama!
Flying over Cuba I looked down and thought they are our enemy and on the way back was sorry I didn't look back down because I was asleep and say damn they must not be our enemy!
Getting back to Jamaica literally and mentally... On the plane there was a person. Well I am back States you know! Laughing! That had one the lottery and was taking their whole family, friends and town back!
Another was an attorney that owned a home on the Island Nation and I wondered to myself "could it be that wonderful"?
Like I said you do have go to know! The place you want to go is anywhere outside of the confines of the resorts that are more like little plantations in coves that line the Coast each with it's own resort some for people that I'm too old to even buy a room!
If you are faint of heart don't worry maan this the way drive! So you hold on to your petrified woman or significant other and try to calm their fears but even the Mack Truck scared the hell out of me! I finally told the cab driver yeah let me stop at that next roadside bar have a drink and yes I will take one those papers you offered me! To read , okay!
I really don't like beer to much except Budweiser Michelob to be exact but Red Stripe aint bad but the rum is much better! Appleton's is rum of the Island. I like Myer's myself dark! The light rum makes my belly ache! I learned that prior to that trip when my wife and I would come home after a day out on the boat and she'd make Strawberry Daquairri's and on an empty stomach I'd get that fire in my belly!
As for the food like I said earlier get out and let your cab driver take you to the place you want to go and don't be afraid maan because I was timid and didn't take the trip into the mountains to meet the country people after we left the restaurant I had asked him to pick that would let us have a taste of "the real" food because I thought the food at the resort was laced with Exctasy it tasted so good and different!
The problem is and the reason I wanted to but a house down there just like the attorney owned as a vacation and investment property is was or whatever that the food away from the resort is almost better well it is but don't let that sound derogatory to the Couple's Resort in Ochio Rios because it isn't meant to be!
The French Toast was so dang good I for the first time in my life didn't really need any butter or syrup on it but you could drink it and the butter tasted like well it was better than Land-o-Lakes and that is if you know saying something!
Aunt Jemima must have been from Jamaica but she don't have same stuff here in the States!
So if anybody ever threatens Jamaica we outa nuke 'em!
Laughing! We are the only country in the world that could destroy something beautiful to save it! Go figure! Let your imagination run wild!
God Bless America though and the freedoms we have left because maybe we can recover some that were lost to bat wielding woman about 100 years ago! Thank God some of us get a second chance because no offense but she might need it!
Sears knows what I'm talking about and some of the young people need to know the truth of this world before they get too old too enjoy what God gave us!
If you are young go find some old books to read before we make China our mortal enemy for no good reason at all!
The truth be known the Great Wall was built to protect and keep out China's enemy's not to keep their armies in! God help our country because we can't even build a fence to keep people out that we might want here in first place if they have come in an organized manner!
SEE: Dr. Sanja Gupta's story on the illegal immigrant that is now saving lives by going to school and becoming a brain surgeon! Specializing in removing brain tumors!
Ephedra aka Ephedrine, Genko-Biloba, Ginseng and many other natural roots, herbs and according to my bi-centennial Almanac I've owned since 1976; the Tea in China must be pretty good as advertised because in 1790 on August the 10th. The
American ship Columbia arrived in Boston harbor, the first American ship to circumnavigate this Planet having left Boston three years earlier, carrying furs from the North-west coast of America to Canton, China, and Tea (speculation:among other things) to New England!
One last fact: According to my almanac Congress on March 24, 1794 authorized the formation of the U. S. Navy otherwise I would have misquoted the previous history and said it was the U. S. S. Columbia!
God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge! As for memory it only takes us so far sometimes so we need to re-read somethings sometimes- another lesson from
the Chinese.
Yall have a good day and week-end but I'll be back to read and write some more as long as I have my bit of Chinese discovery.
