December 12th---O My!

                                       Guess where this picture was takin'?   Lol

           Hello all!   As the might holidaze approach  you see the sights and sounds of all of the holiday shoppers -gradually getting more hectic and frantic as they forget all together what the season is really about.  This year seems to have started out bad for most and is only getting worse as time quickly ticks on.  Maybe it is just me, but what little time I have spent out with the shopping masses, away from work--I see highly aggressive and angry people that did not have any spirit at all to loose in the long freakin' check out lines.  I ventured to Wally World the other afternoon before work, to pay my cell phone, and the whole place was a virtual and physical mad house.  Just from that short trip, I am no not sure at all how I worked eight years in retail in the mist of this "fun."  I guess it's different when you are working and not shopping.   At least were I work now in the casino-- the eaters have the chance to be winning big money--so they are much calmer --although they for the most part seem to have all magically spent all of there tip $ on Christmas gifts!  Although they had just enough money to order three meals for each of there overly hungry guests at the table.  Five guests, $120 ticket---$2 dollar tip  seemed to be the norm the other day.   I guess my kiddos and I do not need Christmas gifts as much as you needed to grow your belly and than go gamble away more than we will be spending total for the next four Christmas mornings.  I should relish and read my own advice, in this very post and in holiday blog posts from my past, and celebrate what this season is really about, and be glad that --like most servers I am actually independently wealthy and do not really need any ones tips!  ;)    What did I mostly gain from all of this---that my wife and my late night, after midnight trips to Wally World, really are the best---by far.  Pretty much no shoppers and such.   Or that all of my shopping is going to be done online this year. 
                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        This very blog page keeps many of you coming back---although I am never certain why!?   And I thank each and every one of you for that.  Especially my mother--easily my biggest fan.  Although I am sure she cringes a lot over spelling and such while reading each and every blog post.  Sorry.  ;)    My Exploring Arizona sight needs more readers----Many  more posts and pictures in the works for that amazing sight.   But also many current posts to check out and enjoy while you are waiting for new Exploring.     Check it   http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/ Where are you Exploring? With purchasing OUR new vehicle-  and my beautiful wife fixing my favorite camera  I have finally started taking pictures and getting out more.  When work allows of course.

        Lil Charlie Brown tree I found --now up on our seating area on the front porch.  Real tree goes up this week!   Pictures and thoughts to come of course.

In fact I saw a very rare sight---the sun rise!   Pictures and Exploring blog in the works!

Sun pretty much up ---Found a neat reflection in the new car windows.  Every sun rise and sun set in Arizona has different colors and tones and is equally as amazing.  More pictures to come, this one was mainly posted to show of our new rig.  ;)

So work has an ugly sweater contest coming up, and this is my bet to win---guarded by one our cats.
