All this heat has us procrasting a bit.
Tomorrow being 07 07 07 many consider that a lucky day because all the 7s.
Some even have set or schedule their wedding for 07 07 07.
Some think it might insure good fortune and a lot of kids.
Being an old married man, I think I would settle on the good fortune and take a pass on the kids.
Nah, just fooling around.
It was sad that I couldn't have been around more for my own kids dued to my work schedule.
I worked the 3-11 shift for too many years.
Than when I became a supervisor, that meant that I would work that shift till I retired.
Retirement came in 1998 after working there for over 31 and a few months extra.
To reach age 62.
I pray that this war will come to end soon, because too many young men and women are being killed or wounded.
We have to find a political solution to a political problem.
It's not the work of the military to rebuild a nation, even if we did the destruction.
Some see this war as a way for the rich to richer.
It has nothing to do with our war on terrorism.
