Hello! Sorry about the Lions! Next year!
Jeff's friend got in at 1:30 yesterday. We went to a casino and then to a New Mexican restaurant HHe Likes Mexican, but his system is to delicate for New Mexican. So we went to Denny's for brunch.
They are both down for a nap. I'm enjoying a break.
Have a good day all! Hug someone!
Sharing this for those getting winter weather. The school system in the town I grew up in IN had no buses. Jr High was 3 miles each way. And I walked every day.

8 to 10 here. Days like this, I really wish I took the job with the Orange County Sheriff's Department in 1990, when they offered it to me. My department was looking at laying us off and I was on vacation in Orlando for Spring Break. We went to the Sheriff's Department for a tour of their facility. They were great! They female officer that took us for the tour of the station was really nice. I told that I was a police officer in Massachusetts and that I might be getting laid off. She told me that they were always looking at hiring officers from the Northeast, and asked how long I was going to be in Orlando. I was only there for about 14 days, but she said that they could take care of a lot of things, but I would have to come back to finalize everything. A few days later, I got a page, yes, that's right, I had a pager at the time, no cell phones. It was my Lieutenant telling me that I was not getting laid off, only officers that were hired before me. So, I didn't take the job.

Wait, the officers before you? As in the ones with more experience than you? Or did I misunderstand?

Just Wolf. He was irreplaceable.

I came across an article in the Wall Street Journal, "He's Just 18 And Drove a Jeep in 49 States In 64 Days," covering 43,000 miles. The kid lives "just outside Vail, Colorado," and Daddy bought him a Sahara with 4,000 miles. Here he is:

His father accompanied him driving from Vancouver to Alaska, to avoid border problems, and he flew to Hawaii to include that in his bragging rights. Nice to have money! A number of posters in "Comments" complained about Jeep (un)reliability, including one who offered this acronym:

Just
Empty
Every
Pocket

This is what I posted in the comments section:

Ah, hitting the road, Jack Kerouac's spirit lives on! Wanderlust bit me, too, when I was his age. Not having a Jeep, I did have a thumb, and hitchhiked 31 states and seven provinces standing on the side of the road (or on-ramp). I've been on all of US-66 before it became "historic." Hopped trains in two states, got arrested in three, and was hauled into a southern sheriff's office who wanted to know if I was "one of them demonstrators, those marchers, y'know?" I had a bedroll, a handgrip with a few changes of clothes, and lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

What I got, but Mr. Bentley didn't, was meeting and talking with a wide variety of people, from truckers to salesmen to ranch wives to horny men to a car full of "Beetlemaniac" teen girls going to the Astrodome in a convertible Chevy!) to see their idols. A guy in a convertible XK-E picked me up on US-101 (before I-5 was complete) and asked me to drive so he could nap. And quite a few people bought my meals, allowing me to subsist on under $1.00/day (peanut butter was cheaper back then).

Now I drive a Bronco Badlands Sasquatch, and can get to those exotic, remote spots I could only view from a distance back then.Thumb, bus, Jeep, freight car, Bronco, whatever--we're blessed with a magnificent country. Enjoy it, folks!

Sorry, my mistake. The officers hired after me were laid off.

I'm all over that coffee and grinding beans for the next round. Has anyone seen my Bronco stocking cap?

My favorite: Alram at the gas plant...work truck would not start but the Bronco did. The steering is really really stiff at these temps and the top makes lots of crazy popping sounds as well!
