Journal Entry 032512-B: Regarding the photocopy of Worth the Fibhting For! As well as my Pseudo-ephedrine shortage!

Friends,

I tried to read further into the Chapter in a book over all I have enjoyed but I cant politically agree with the assessment in that particular chapters description President Clinton's foreign policy effectiveness with regards to diplomacy or our use of the military with in my opinion I would think the rest of the world was much more than successful!

Unfortunately I cant afford the additional pseudo-ephedrine needed to read further or objectively at this time.

I want to reitorate the combatants in the war I find myself and the sticking point I fell for:

The bottomline is I have always even when working in a family business and/or a business I owned or owned majority holdings in I have considered that business my own both in heart and soul.

When members of my family played the this and that game I lost respect in my heart for those that once preached this will be yours and congratulations on your successes!

I also lost respect for the do as your told go work for someone members and any respect for the members driving me out of business that once preached the virtues of working to own your own business again once they started preaching go get a job and not as Mr. Grodsky agreed when I asked "when can I form a new company?" His response "Today"!

Earned my respect!

Unfortunately mis-informed, resentful, greedy, self-centered, protectionist members have been my enemy every since well before that day Mr.Grodsky earned my respect.

Admittedly Lovd has almost killed me mentally and physically because I loved while those on the list in a previous post neither loved or cared as I arrogantly proclaim I in fact did love trying to blind myself to their unrealized hate of my values instilled by one or more of them over many years.

I have no issues with anyone on a payroll. Many of you with a dream to own and many of you with the dream of staying put or advancing up a company ladder!

I just have the mindship of owning my own business!

Thus my desire to stop operations here of my brick and mortar business to be moved to a location far enough away from any planned attempts to disrupt my already ADHD and heart broken mind!

God bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

A quick update to say "Still Alive"!

Friends,

It is nice to report that i'm still alive and working on projects to enhance life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

I hope you are having some success oh that's not true I hope you are having all the success in this world that it has to offer professionaly, personally and spiritually regardless of your inclinations as long as they are sincere and for your benefit as well as your families!

I Have several projects underway trying to pull the details together to offer you several online and 1 on-site way to do just about anything you want to do! LOL! Within reason now in this onsite store!

I have quite afew items in stock that might intrerest some of you when I get two things plus somesub items completed to open this store that I am workin on pretty mc as much as humanly possible.

1.) A Fairhope city license
2.) Business Insurance

*I hope to have the first order of marine supplies in soon for which the tore is to be dedicated but I have to find a way to make my days long enough to g that done and God spare me the advice on excerise I will get plentyof that if I can stay wake and motivated enough to do that and then jump out of bed with the enhusiasm that I actually have in one part of my mind that has to ave some link to some other bodily functions ha are most likely chemical in nature that make our dreamspossible through putting the plan into action, overcoming the obstacles and working the time it takes to make that dream a reality.

I used to have the energy ut not the focus and concentration or in ome cases the experence to do successfully.

Now it's a matter of willing it to be done.

It doesn't mean much to most folks but Ijust can't get deep enough.....

Ship's Navigator Lt. j.g. Shaina Hayden render...Image via Wikipedia
Reader's,


It doesn't mean as much to some folks as you would think and to others it's just not on their radar scope at all but I just can't get deep into a subject this afternoon or at least right now as much as I would like.


Sometimes you find out you just don't mean that much in this old world to some of the people you even pay may of your income too and that cuts a little deep.


It does seem their are others of us that means more too and some good conversation is as important as the almighty dollar and to those folks I salute you!


It is always interesting how someone may not return a phone call and at least update you and we get all bent out of shape only to find out they actually gave a darn and were overloaded because they did give a darn!


Then we run across those that don't return a phone call and we don't expect it because we have given them all the information they need and things just come together.


I salute those people. One for knowing we trust them and the two for not adding to our distractions as we go about our daily tasks trusting them.


Then there are those we are supposed to feel close to that never call  or if we do they never return our calls and to those people I feel for because they have some reason for their lack of concern and those people like I said i have concern for!


Confused?


It depends on how your day has gone to this point and who you have dealt with and if any of these situations make any dang since too you now doesn't it?


I just can't get my reach mode going this afternoon and if you notice by my posts it only happens occasionally and that bothers me immensely!


Should it?


Depends on what group, individual or what thing particular has led me to these feelings Today!


I hope you don't understand but if you do I salute you!


sometimes in life something as simple as retelling an age old story can make a person's day or talking to someone they thought was a "favorite of theirs but along comes that stranger that turns out to make your day if you can hold off the disappointment in others long enough to enjoy what they in their individual lives has made your day a little brighter!


I'm not quite through Today so let me make a phone call and see if I get put on the back burner for whatever reason that last time so I can try to over come it or reason with it or come to grips with or just plain deal with it as some shallow folks will plain and simple tell you to your face if not worse!

Maybe I ought to to take a drive and see why no one can stand in for someone and I'd tell you why I had to write a letter a couple of times and drop out or ask out of something I enjoyed doing for the public good a couple of times in my life but let me take a drive first!


God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

5.) Call up Norman Schwarzkopf use his plan and invade Iran to open a corridor for the evacuation of those people's listed in Acts 3 and 4 without authorization from Congress by the way across Iran into Iraq!
6.) *Once said and stated Evacuation is complete- Nuke the Taliban!
7.) Normalize relations with Cuba on he condition that Castro come to Washington bearing the finest Cuban cigars and a plan to host the Olympics and join the South Eastern Conference. He also must build with a loan from AIG a Stadium seating 100,000 Stadium or Two to host the World Series, National Championship Game and the Super Bowl! That should help anybody's Economy!

10.)Designate President Clinton as special life-long Ambassador to China!
11.) Designate Present Secretary of State Clinton life-long Ambassador to all unoccupied Territories and inhabitable lands!
12.) Ask Donald Trump to head up our economic Team that will include among others T. Bone Pickens, Robert Reich, Ted Turner and where the hell is Ross Perot? Mr. Trump this team will be paid a percentage of the profits!
13.) God instructed us to kill the Philistine's NOT the Palestinians so let's see President Carter can head up his team on finding them some land that is inhabitable some where away from Israel and Lebanon! That oughta solve that issue! President Carter please find them three times the territory that has some resources so they can build a viable economy!
14.) Designate Sir Richard Branson the head of a new NASA Corporation called Virgin NASA owned by the people of The United States of America and the People of  United Kingdom. Mr. Branson I know you are just the man for the task but I do I have a few special requests!
 a. Build and have in place for use on The Virgin Atlantis "A Passenger compartment" that would utilize the cargo bay!
 b. Develop the plans for and have in orbit a space station capable of building an interplanetary space craft and scheduling a maiden flight to Mars within 10 years!

 d. The corporation would be expected over a 15 year period to show a return on the investment more years than not!
 15.) China can have the Moon, Russia Venus but as for the USA and the UK we want Mars! Well it is obvious that we can sit down and have a conversation and we can make a decision on the details of the colonization and search for resources on that planet that will most likely make the whole thing worth while!
16.) Designate Ty Pennington to develop his team for decisions on the name of a new agency to oversee and utilize funds as well as supervise reconstruction of whatever the hell we have to destroy to rid the Earth of the Taliban which includes their Al Queada network! Because Ty can get-r-done!

20.) Designate a National Education Holiday in The United States that emphasizes teaching the history and words as spelled out in The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of The United States of America and the Bill of Rights! Every student regardless of any damn thing place or religion should be expected to read and write an essay on the subjects as stated!

Note: I'm sure after President O'bama's 8 year term as President and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 8 year term as President some of these issues may not still exist but I would appreciate your support in 2028 Presidential Elections!

I'm supposed to be dead by then from ADHD and attempted ADHD rehab efforts but if I'm not I'll be 64 and still alive or as I put it now and hopefully then "I'm not dead yet"!

God Bless, Peace Love and Knowledge!

Sincerely,

Floyd C. Wooley

*Note: If he isn't my opponent in the primaries or even if he is and I manage to squeak out a close one I'd ask Jim Folsom Jr. as Vice President to meet with the Secretary of Defense to offer a conventional non-nuclear alternative if one so exists to achieve the desired result of eliminating from the face Earth the Taliban and their affiliates!

They claim to be Angels's but I speak with God deep within my Soul!

WASHINGTON - NOVEMBER 23:   Media tycoon Ted T...Image by Getty Images via @daylife
Friends,

There is a place upon this planet that what we are supposed to believe we speak to angel's that direct our conscious but as for me I would rather speak to the Lord deep within my soul!

I speak with my Lord when no one else is speaking too me and he responds with a peaceful easy feeling that I can only appreciate with those that may understand my beliefs!

Friends you see my beliefs center upon mercy on the people's of this planet through the word of God Almighty NOT punishment for every indiscretion we may happen to make and that mercy is shown in many ways toward us all as human beings and members of this neighborhood we call planet Earth!

By the way the 1- Adderall per day regimen is accomplishing exactly what I thought it may.

1.) Limiting my creative thoughts and ability to describe, explain or accomplish anything that I might want to or need to accomplish to less than what most people would consider a full day in the life!

2.) The attempts to force me to stick to this once-a-day regimen have had no effect what-so-ever on my actions regarding the course I'm on now except to limit my ability in the past to determine my own destiny!

3.) The one other most important part of those attempts to "scare me straight" a term I'm borrowing from Rick's segment on CNN.com from yesterday 09-28-10 is that now is that my nerves are not what they used to be before.......

My ex-wife just called to meet me and loan me some money so let me stop here.

Well I'm back. It was actually a meeting with my soul-mate that in fact was a drug deal! I borrowed six-bucks so I could re-up on my Camel SNUS!

Sorry to disappoint the more criminally inclined minds out here in this world but I'm only a prescription junkie with a little nicotine thrown in that used to be taken in the form of smoking a pipe! Oh I still light up my pipe occasionally and only 1 or 2 Tobacco's will suffice! Captain Black is not my 1st choice but the nearest Tinder Box is quite a ways away in Mobile or Pensacola unfortunately.

...... those attempts to bring me into line! other wise I'd probably be just about okay on two of those Adderall's. In fact I still am but hey why NOT give em there break sometimes so they can get some rest because when I'm on- I'm on and it is hard to whip me when I'm on! Sorry for the arrogant show of defiance but this is my show not anyone else's and that is the bottom-line on that subject!

Oh yeah who are we giving a break? It's those angel's of mercy that really can become more like Demon's from Hell! My past blogs have described what indescribable misery they can cause in one person's life as well as those around them.

Thank God for my beleifs that as I was describing earlier are based on mercy upon the people's of this planet through the word of our God that I've come to beleive is the same God for many people's and that is a comforting thought considering human beings inclination to not show mercy to anyone by I still beleive to be a small percentage of the world's population if only we stop and consider the big picture!

I damn sure hope it is a small percentage and following anyone for any reason has been shown through out history to cause more pain and suffering upon the population of this planet than anything else- except one's own heart and soul or conscious that you have to go deeper into the subject to understand or just study history!

The idea of punishing people or making them feel they will be punished by God for indescretions and NOT some violent action they have committed upon one another or as a group upon one another at some future judgement just doesn't fit with my beleifs.

Personally it would appear that the last thing anyone should ever do is force their beleifs upon anyone for any reason because the tendency of the human being to utilize violence or acts of hatred or greed seems to creep in in every instance of such an effort all you have to do is study history!

Every weapon ever developed has been used for destruction and for God's sakes I hope I don't sound like the uni-bomber- but so has every piece of technology that I know of and I hope I am wrong on that point!

I can't think of anything else to discuss or say right now and I do have other things to do Today as I hope you do as well. I have to hurry up if I'm going to accomplish my goals for Today because of this once-a-day regimen I'm on and if you read my blogs from the past or over on My Space you'll get the picture pretty quickly what I speak of!

See my photo's on My Space that show what you can do by utilizing a little self-help with a little privacy to boot and within what used to be a legal and full life not just a legal life. I wish I had pictures of the times I have been able to go soft-shelling, fishing, floundering and generally enjoying life with my family,friends and children without being limited by someones misconstrued ideas about me as a human being!

I accomplished a lot when I self-medicated and no one but myself and a few people in my life knew of it and it was legal and those that try to make it out to be more than it was most likely don't know the whole story anyway so I have little fear of them!

God Bless, Love, Peace and knowledge!

Sincerely,

Floyd C Wooley

but what this story is about is driving while drowsy and why it tops my list as the worst situations to be in behind the wheel!

Search Amazon.com for ladies mini sweater dress 

Friends, visitors, readers,
 I moved down here to Fairhope with high hopes after waging a six month battle to hang on to my wife and our home in Lake Forest up in Daphne, Al. but things kinda went to Hell in a hand basket for no reason really!

 I had the opportunity to put this car in nice condition last summer and fall about the time my wife left me after our vacation on the Beach in Gulf Shores, Al. But anyway I didn't know what the heck was going on I had just gotten everything paid up to date including the house payments except for a few bills that I still have over here in a file!

 Yeah I'm ADHD, depressed and need a little more than just a nudge to motivate me now so instead of your typical ADHD person that is 44 I am pretty much at the mercy of my insurance Company, BCBS of Al. My doctor whom I think is an angel from God which I hope is true for her sticking by my with everyone around me trying to prove depression is an anger thing and not a just down right sad affair to be involved in but hey I'm trying not to complain because life has been worse than it has this year!

 I mean last year and the year before that sucked big time! If they had been any worse I'd be dead now or drooling somewhere in a corner and that is nothing to laugh about once you know there are poor souls that are like that and kinda know it from time in their lives!

 It is like one flew over a Cuckoo's nest in my life well it was because I was so mean but I wasn't the igniter nor the fuel just the damn garbage that happened to be in wrong place at the right time in the right life but the wrong parallel universe kinda like Captain Kirk in Star Trek when he wakes up on the Evil Enterprise with a Spock from Hell! Nurse what's her name is someone I just can't say anything about because she keeps saving my life and some how like it or not me hers and it's me that needs to break free but no body around here wants to break free!

 I've done it before in my life and it seemed to shock, drag, pull or something the folks in my family back in line. Heck my Dad's done it so many times I learned from an expert on saving every damn thing under the sun after some kinda disaster be it an interstate, hurricane, oil embargo, another hurricane, this feud or that feud and it wasn't even my mother he was feuding with hell she saved his life several times and he even learned a little of that mixed martial arts my son likes so much from a black Irishman that happened to be white and a driveway once and I'm sorry I missed that episode of the Wooley's fighting for their life but I was at nursery school hiding from some guy in the dark that was trying to kill his wife!

 Funny thing back then the police didn't even seem to care he was there for what seemed like hours prowling around looking through the windows threatening to kill her while I and all the other kids laid real still and quiet hoping it would end soon but I was only 4 or 5 I guess and I hated that nursery school as much as my Dad hated people to talk down to him after he had worked his whole life and been screwed around so bad it amazes me that he is as nice as he is to any damn body! Thank God my mom and his employees hollered that day watch out Floyd! Well this fellow with a pipe that didn't like the fact my Dad had repeatedly asked he and the other "***** *********" to please don't block our driveway into the Exxon or Enco Travel stop at the time because the tide would be up soon and it the building would be flooded and we'd have to stop selling gasoline as fast as we could pump it!

 Yeah well my Dad caught the pipe with one hand and decked the guy with his other hand and I'm damn glad he did probabily a Republican only problem is he had a trooper say started it but it isn't any of the trooper's I know because Heck I built well my fine damn crews built four homes in less than four years and I think they are the most professional men I've ever met! Not my crews the troopers!

 No the men that built our homes and were fine tradesmen and carpenters know who they are and I do too damn-it! I'm supposed to be some idiot that didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground but it just so happens I know a lot about holes in the ground! I've drilled or well I've drilled holes in the ground in 7 Southern States and one week I stayed up with my whole crew for almost 7 days on nothing but a lot of lust and that I'm either ashamed of or bragging about but Bryan damn man you can't make love to a woman good enough to keep her out of my bed cause I was where I wanted to be but anyway I'm just an old cheat but I wasn't for 12 plus years and by God if I get a chance I'm gonna make somebody a fine husband or room-mate or something again in my life and she aint gonna have to worry about me unless she wants to and if so I'll try to keep my heart, work, family and life separate so it works out that I don't have to take the highest dosage of Adderall XR on planet Earth because I'm gonna get up out of this depression just like I must have before and beat all those odds and have something regardless of whether that SOB from Bay Minette likes it or not and to tell the truth I hope he is happy in his home and he should be. I have no idea but I really seriously the man is okay as well as his wife and that they both are enjoying the Taj Mahal!

 No I didn't go to court that day without a lawyer whenever the hell that day was when as far I can tell if my records and yes I have them like it or not as well as pictures show that we were trying like hell to get back on a schedule my dumb ass agreed to that was not even required by our contract and it was a cash damn deal to boot! We were trying to get the damn drywall mud dry in January or February with heaters and fans when they kicked us out for some penny Anni claims well show me I'm the builder for God's sakes not some courier!

 They are lucky the damn thing didn't rot down after Ivan and I hope it is serving them well but I was so depressed when they walked in especially after telling me when I called on Christmas Eve or so to wish them a Merry Christmas I was told "Son you will never own another thing when I get through with you" and you know what I almost lost more than everything the day that storm hit! Fortunately I wasn't one of the unlucky one's but some were so God Bless them and I'm just glad when I fell asleep at the wheel on the way home from my parents home " this one" that September afternoon after meeting Craig Hamilton here to find he and his crew almost finished boarding up my Dad's windows because by that time I was so tired I couldn't even hold up my electric drill and I was embarrassed as hell over that because I didn't anybody understood why I had been up for two days prior to that storm noe the circumstances but I was awake on pure will!

 It was wonderful to think if I made it home that day all I had to deal with was my home! All but 1 of the 13 in three counties we had underconstruction were secured and the one not secured is the one that it looked like a bobmb went off in the neighborhood hell the county- Escambia County, Alabama.

 Atmore days after and months after Ivan which is 20-30 miles inland looked like a straight line wind of over a hundred miles an hour had come through and leveled every Oak tree in the county but our home only has little water get in around the front door and a little aluminum trim damage thanks to the fact the f-3 Tornado that leveled the pine forest across the street had missed it! that tornado track was several hundred yards wide it seems to me in my memory and well over a mile in length!

 In Gulf Shores we couldn't get to the house we had planned to set piling on the day of the storm for quite a while. I can't remember how long without looking it up but the 6,000.00 piling were washed over in the swamp and I had someone bitch at me for not dragging them out days after the storm! Heck I nor my supplier could help that we couldn't get them picked up prior to the hurricane in fact there was another home next door that if they carpenters trailer hadn't been in the way I think they could have picked them up but he the carpenter claimed we blocked him in and who knows hell he's lucky he didn't lose more than his covered trailer that he left down there and I damn seriously doubt those piling were in his way I think it was the other way around but by the time he caught us down and out of money our Comapny was easy pickings!

 My day wasn't quite over that afternoon and I'm not sure if the wreck almost killed me or the generator under the carport didn't almost kill us all that night which was my second time in one day that I could have , should have feel right now like a little less milk when I was child and I'd have been decapitated anyway and I mean now not then! I need to go rex-ray the damn thing but I'm allergic to pain medicine and so is my Dad so we just have to suck it up!

 My wife had already made it to the house ahead of me and Lee my oldest son who was in Elberta last time I talked with him in my 02 1500 HD GMC 4 x4 pulling the trailer I had custom built to carry 16' lumber out in Elsanor that I eventually had to sell to my site work contractor to cover one of the last foundations poured because the cost of materials and labor well not the labor to pour- Jessie wouldn't do that too me nor the foundation work or the site work it was every damn thing else it took to build anything that went sky high down here on the coast that if you think 38 or 39% nationwide in five years is a lot for the average prices to jump you should have heard the man quote me 2.50 a square foot to hang and finish dry-wall and seen my reaction to that when I had failed to give my original and I hope yes I consider him a friend too quit prior to Ivan because I guess I didn't realize and raise him from the .39 a square foot I had been paying him!
 Evon worked his ass off for me and I had noticed his stress and had planned to raise his rate on my own without his asking but I just didn't get it done in time! Sometimes we are already stressed in the building business since we were officially only fighting one world war by then and people had gone crazy wanting houses which I almost built one my self but decided to wait one more year only to lose my land after Ivan along with my paltry 41,000.00 dividend and well we can cover that later. I left it in the company because it had been a wt spring and a bad one for trying to find framers that would show up and work and so I felt it was better to leave the money in the damn thing and hire a full-time book-keeper to keep my wife from being over-whelmed because of the business we eventually had that year! It was a late sales year to top things off and I had discounted a couple of things here and there to help the salesmen and the company keep our crews that we had expected to need and I certainly wanted our labor paid each week so they would be there like they were in most cases when it did break loose which it did in may & June instead of April like it usually does or has built up to the sales month I had seen in my previous years with Dukes, Dobbins, Elizabeth and Rhinetta homes as well as Classic Southern homes My Company! Yes mine and my wife was never supposed to be in any danger of filing personal bankruptcy for one reason and one only to protect her but Hell I never expected to go under anyway but I did live through the eighties and remember our family business struggling through the Reagan and Bush years trying to get paid as well in the marine business.

 As I said I had worked day and night believe it or not after coming home from Jamaica from a nice three day or maybe it was four days ready to take on whatever it took to help my son and brother-in-law continue to learn the business as well as put together another business that I know would have been a success if not for the hurricane as well with a friend that I'd known so long I feel like we are brother's! It was formed and began operation as a Metal roofing business that God knows I had felt would compliment what we had already begun and put Barry and his wife on their feet like I knew my wife and I were so close to being in a way that would make their lives better and if they held costs in check which I was in semi-charge of prior to the hurricane they could have weathered this depression we are slowly climbing out of thanks to President O'bama!

 Back to the day of Ivan! I had planned on it being possibly damaging to our homes that were I felt vulnerable due to the stages of construction they were in an when I last talked to Lee he was leaving Elberta the location of one especially vulnerable because of the fact the garage faced open to the North and the garage door Company although scheduled to install the door that day or the next was unable to do so leaving the freshly painted home that was waiting on floor coverings and exterior trim as the most sizable of projects left prior to completion a worry in my mind.

 My main concern was getting home awake after hitting the wall here at my Dad's that afternoon! I told everyone I couldn't make it home but it was becoming clear Ivan would be much more of a storm than many had thought but my experience with Frederic and Elena in 1985 had me concerned days earlier as it made it's way up the gap that Cape Verde storms that threaten us seriously seem to travel. A west-northwest course through the carribean just south of or over hispaniola and cuba. Ivan actually had come up the gap a little south of there and had turned more northerly in direction after traversing Jamaica, at least the northern side of the eye wall when it made the turn north and crossed the tip of Cuba around midnight of the 13th I was trying to not let it get me into a mood that it was a threat. I already knew a home in Foley or Gulf Shores that I had made the framers take the fascia down and was planning to bevel as per code prior to inspection was at risk but thank God our plywood decking was nailed well and it had little if any damage other than the dry-wall stacked in the garage to be hung the next week getting wet and my asking our supplier to pick it up and replace it for the homeowners peace of mind after the storm that home faired extremely well!

 I had a cup of coffee here before I left and a sandwich I think but I should have had an IV drip of coffee if the damn mini-thins had been anygood then I'd have been fine but they were sickening by then and of no use to me other than to make me vomit and they certainly had lost most of their relaxing ADHD symptom control and the alertness that probably saved more lives than the 15,000 people that complained they couldn't fall asleep on the damn things in those FDA reports I speak of! Well there are worse things than not being able to go to sleeep!

 I didn't even take the zanax my doctor prescribed me and had for years because the sedative effect coupled with the cough medicine made you miserable as hell after they started putting it in the Ephedrine, Sob's!

 Look I and anyone that has ever owned, worked for or been associated with a small, growing business or a Company that is on the rise knows what it is like to stop for coffee on a late trip only to do everything but shoot themselves with dart gun to stay awake after a long day either physically or mentally working! No we are all supposed to be super human but it just isn't that way and our families depend on us to be that super human so that they can have something we had or that a family had begun to recover from and that is most likely a Ultra conservative Republican administration that spends and cut us into war! Look at the last 100 years and see if I'm not telling the truth!

 President Clinton had kept her steady as you go for eight years in my opinion and then after although we had been attacked the Bush administration made decisions that have cost lives and trillions of dollars but that is their job to make those decisions and although President Clinton had Bin Laden under pressure with those cruise missiles and I'm sure special ops there was a problem in our security and we all know what it was. It certainly wasn't people that believe in the God of Abraham and moses it was and still is and will be radicals just as we have in our country that hate this one or that one for no reason other than to promote their on cause!

 I didn't have anyone to drive me home that September day in 2004 because it was getting hairy and so I left this house headed toward my own in Lake Forest. I should not have done it but I had to get home. I had talked with Valarie and we had decided that we would talk constantly on the Nextel of course two-way as I headed home. North on hwy 181, then left on hwy 64, then right on Pollard Road passing our model home on the way that is now Jubilee Veterinary.

 I had asked Bay Minette building Supply to drop 5 sheets actually it was more but I forget the number of sheets of  3/8 plywood it was so that several of us could board our windows and I had five sheets in my truck and a door unit laying on top that I didn't want to leave somewhere. I think I had thought of stopping at the O'Donnell home but I had already been there once and as I struggled by doing everything known to man including slapping myself in the face and all the other tactics including talking to my wife I turned right on Pollard and remember nothing after that point until!

 You see driving sedated is bad enough, drunk another, distracted another but drowsy is the worst of all because I distinctly remember turning onto pollard thinking I've got it made now and out I went! No warning, no chance to slap yourself nothing and if you have ever awaken ed on the interstate or become alert and thought damn how long have I been driving like this you understand! It my friends driving sleepy is the worst thing in the world and it scares me to death because it has happened twice that I've been off the road in my life and many times traveling from job to job!

 Not once since 1993 when I had a friend suggest Ephedrine for alertness, concentration, focus and concentration when again or prior trying to get a business established have I let that happen until that September day! I don't care what you call me I call me a fool for not being diagnosed years ago for running my engine til it was on empty then falling out at the end of a day! Then doing it again the next day trying to get organized mostly and what I may have leaned on my own I learned much more once I did go to a doctor and get on my computer! It took sometime but I owe my well being to BCBS of Alabama and Doctor Bergman and Doctor Ney for letting me in on the secret that some make into a conspiracy that some of us are wired differently. We are hyper focused on success sometimes in life but fall short because we run ourselves in the ground and the people around us sometimes look at that as a weakness but I will bet you this Davey Crockett didn't fall asleep for eight hours waiting at the Alamo and he damn sure fought to the last breath in his body which being worn out most likely cost him his life!
 When I awoke I had already went left into the ditch hit the embankment low as it is and had gone airborne only 15 or 20 feet maybe and landed in a pecan field with my foot on the gas and a slow realization I had 5 sheets of plywood and a door knock our the back window of my son's truck and that with that material slamming me in the head as it was still pinned to my left hand I had to get it off of me or I was in trouble. I didn't immediately stop because it was pouring rain and I thought I would get stuck all of this in a flash.
 I missed the Pecan trees and thankfully everyone else and their homes but no one was around as I found once back on the pavement and stopped. I have a little pain in my chest from taking my right arm and forcing that material off my head and daily pain in my neck from the pounding, I'm lucky I have a head!
 I notice that pain in my chest everything I lift anything of any weight and my left hand I couldn't open in fact didn't even realize I walked around with it closed until my wife asked me one day "Are you angry"? I said No and she said why don't you open your hand well who knows but it had grown almost shut without my exerting downward force on it to open it at some point but Cymbal ta and my own physical therapy have made it usable but it still hurts but so does my Dad's head from his industrial accident  I just regret not having a stimulant to keep me awake that day regardless of what anyone that reads this may think because that little wreck has made life even more difficult to explain and to manage all the other issues that came with having several homes damaged by that storm and the loss of our new drywall crew due to it's damage to their homes in Pensacola as well as the loss of carpenter's and roofers due to pressure to do the repair work.

 It was amazing pulling over the adrenaline rush I had upon awakening and realizing I had almost killed myself again and waiting on Valarie to get there to check for any damage to my person I had missed as their was a good bit of glass in my neck and back and I had a little blood here and there but I was alive and I was surprised that their was no one around. I think one car was still on the road but the adrenaline rush lasted for several hours I guess but later when I should have gone to or been at the hospital I was at home and after my wife and I spent some time talking in the bedroom I laid down and went to sleep again I do not remember even falling asleep I only have pictures to jog my memory and I do remember Val waking me up as the eye passed and as the wind switched to the west I was embarrassed that I had not planned that out. It was quite a night or days leading up to it to remember but as for me I know I want to be awake, alert and as in China stimulated even if they have to give the police as over there whatever it is that they hand out to drowsy drivers as I saw reported on CNN a year or two ago!

 There have been times since that day that I have asked my wife to drive and their have been times I should have been on a stimulant and not a sedative that I have driven and I almost have a heart attack at the thought of my family or anyone else making that fatal mistake because it is now you are awake now you aren't and you know it is coming before hand you just want to make it home and your life is not the only one at risk. In my youngr years I coulkd go 90 to nothing one minute and be asleep the nxt and not everyone does that not all the time!

 Lee's truck? I had it fixed I thought til I drove it one night on a tow line and I sure wish I new what happened to my nylon tow strap but anyway it still pulled even after that I do remember he was cool about it the day after the storm when he had to pull some under carriage and other parts off the truck and drive it with no window in the back so as it goes I know and some other not so fortunate people have had it much worse.

 My hats off to the North Carolina State player Natanu Mageo I think it is that fell asleep last year and lived to play in their game the other night I'm hoping I wrote it down right and I hope he as I or anyone else for that matter become drowsy, sleepy or fall asleep or have someone or something cause them harm from driving while not impaired on something that will save your life and not the other way around because coffee is on then it's off I've learned that following or driving across State. God following our old Texhoma 500 mounted on that Ford 800(?) with hydraulic brakes and a a V-8 I used to see two or three ahead of me and head for the one in the middle in my Dad's 78 El Camino that I rigged up a stereo in so I could use it to stay awake.
I bought Robert Plant's "shakin & stirred" cassette to have when we went to Montgomery in September 1985 to work at the Lex-an plant putting in de-watering systems for the excavation pits! Hottest dang place I've ever been in my life but they had a little restaurant on hwy 80(?) that had the best Chocolate pie for 2.00 you stand! We'd get back to the job and about two o'clock or earlier I'd look up at him and he'd look down at me and I knew he was thinking why did we do that again! I'd go from shoveling dirt as fast as I could to standing on the shovel with my eye's closed! Look we were sleeping right up the road next to the truck stop I saw my first fishnet blouse in back in 1978. Bill said "what you looking at cliff"? Hey it was '78 and hot- she and the weather! That was hell of a miserable trip to Chicago and back to get the 500 but it worth the ride on the dang motor cover in what was a little under powered low-boy! Another story for another time!

 I wish the Cadillac hadn't burned to the ground that night in Pensacola. The morning the wheel leaned over as we pulled in to the construction yard in Theodore on a Saturday morning when the upper ball joint came loose on the way back from Hattiesburg, Ms. I think we were putting in towers for the Coffee Company and it was either Eddie's Towers by then or  heck I can't remember his name but anyway a fine man in my opinion that owned the tower Company that we drilled for when I first started in the drilling business with my Dad & Walter in 1985! First job I was on was at the Grand Hotel in the sleet, water and wind off the bay! I wanted to quit and go back to work in the restaurant but stuck it out and have loved mud, concrete and just about any new smell from a building material ever since!

Love, Peace and knowledge!

For God's sake read and understand!

Friends,

I'm taking it on the chin so to speak in the delayed effects from several days of punishment that I had to endure for my beleif in self-help, self-determination and freedom of choice hell you name it and my values have been under attack so long it's ridiculous!

when you have a group that pounds you into the ground for what you beleive in to the point they will even use your medication to create the effect I'm trying to overcome now the one to remember is that they must be re-habers, idiots, scoundrels and in the real sense criminals. Why?

Because they steal not only your chance to live, succeed and use that in a way that your values see fit but also they steal from anyone else you would like to share your life and success with. Why?

Jealousness, greed, selfishness! Should I say more?

I'm still low on chemicals that my brain needs to function at a normal level from a direct attack on my values!

If you know what I mean God help us all! If you are just learning of this type system of assault on a citizen of the country in this world where such a thing is NOT supposed to be possible keep in mind this country did rangle with slavery and servitude for centuries as well as that this is the 21st Century and if nothing was possible it certainly is NOW!

I can barely stay awake even though I asked my doctor to drop my dosage and change my meds to avoid being killed, maimed or at least having to go through this several day loss of use that I am now experiencing.

God Bless you and God help those of us that still beleive in Thomas Jefferson and old John Hancock, and the rest of those brave men and women for God's sake!
