Be Kind!

                                                             Easier takin' a picture of than done.
These are all over Tucson---this one was on the front of the last hospital my wife was at for a few daze last week.     More on this last stay soon.   But not today.

The coffee shop at the hospital.

Good coffee --interesting name.

Although I only got one cup here because they charged as much for a re-fill 

as for the first cup of coffee.   As in it wasn't a refill.

I went right to Cherry Pepsi for my 2nd cup because it was cheaper.  

                Today is a day is a day.  That's all I got for a greeting.  Take it or leave it.  I am tired in a lot of ways-and the coffee has definitely not kicked in yet for me.  ;)   My concepts of time have been altered lately.  It gets dark so early right now---even with no time changing of clocks here in Arizona.  One of the few things I really like about the state.   Gets dark so early right now   that my mind is tricked into being sleepy by about 8 at night.  On my daze off work I have been noticing how quickly the day passes by.   Even if I wake up really early  before I really seem to get anything done--it is nearing when it gets dark out.   Why does this quick time rate not happen when I am at work??   Time seems to slow down considerably.  One reason I don't wear a watch at work--to depressing.   Why just the other day, I was getting ready to end my shift, after what seemed like 7 hours of being at work.  Did check the clock and it had been almost an hour of work in all actuality.  Man if I could slow down things that much here at home, I would have everything done in two "work daze" tops!   It is supposed to rain here in the desert--but at the moment there is not a cloud in sight.  I love when it rains here   because it is usually a warm rain.  And because it is so rare.  Not as enjoyable now that we are selling items---because need to watch the clouds so that everything that wont fit in our garage stays nice and dry.  But at the moment it is very easy to watch the clouds   because there are none!

Not as kind--but truthful

And the truth often hurts.  

               **"if you want to know were your heart is look were your mind wanders---To many's seem to linger or live to close to the gutter and like it there.  

Step 1: Buy a 3D printer
Step 2: print a 3D printer
Step 3: Return 3D printer---   Now this one took some people a minute to get---but these 3d printers are amazing.   They are also super expensive   so step one is not for most of us.  But if you can accomplish step one---free printer!    I have heard that you can also print out everything to build your own pistol---although I still believe you have to purchase the firing pin.   These have no metal in them   so go through metal detectors.   Causing a whole new group of concepts in the gun debates.   The new concept at least new to me that bugs me the most---beyond the whole wanting to take our guns away---is that -even locally now across Arizona---if you have a green card, for medical weed---you are not allowed to buy a gun.  Arizona seems to be very otherwise gun supportive---unlike many mostly coastal states.  But they just kind of slipped this law in recently.   Because weed alters your brain and you should not be able to buy a gun.   Really? Because I can go to Wally World any day of the week and buy a 40 pack of Budwiser and a shotgun and it's fully legal.   Any way whatever I read about this   just does not explain it to me.   Beyond we want to take all your guns and melt them down into one huge giant gun sculpture--that does not actually fire.  Getting rid of all there guns worked so well for the Simpsons and for Family Guy residents for sure.   ;)

       Related to all this is something I jotted down way back in 2013-----and Big Brother has grown a lot since than:
     
The problem isn't about what kind of guns the government is regulating--the problem lies in government being able to alter the constitution. If they can get this passed, than we will slowly lose all of the amendments--because the meaning of them can be mistrewn very easily. It starts with one law.


       **"I think I am going to stop over thinking every thing I think about. What do you think??"**----All I know for sure--Is I don't think, I know I can't sleep

**"Vending machines are so homophobic. I'm so sorry my dollar is not straight enough for you!"**

    People always ask me, where do I come up with my status', do I make them up, or do I get them from the Internet. . . Truth is people, I use Status Enhancing Drugs.

  Our friend asked if he could borrow our vacuum
I said "Sure! As long as it doesn't leave the house."

              I do believe I am finally going to have time tonight to post an Exploring blog post!   It has been to long.   We have been gathering up pictures and Exploring for the page for sure.  

1/18/2018

Went for a quick hike in the desert the other day 

and loved this picture!

More pictures to come of course from that day and beyond.  

      Today is the day I get motivated!   I keep telling myself that and than I keep not actually getting motivated.   My git up and go   got up and went ---without me.  I don't know if it's something in the house, like black mold or what---but I am extra lazy lately    and that is not me at all---I barley can sit in one place most of the time.   Maybe because there is SO much that needs done here that I really do not know where to start and than just get over whelmed on my daze off.   Maybe it's because I could not sleep last  night and was up till 4 AM?   What ever the case I figure if I keep saying today is the day-----it will actually happen one of these daze and my yelling as I am spilling coffee all over the place, will become yelling of truth!  Its all certianlly not from lack of sunshine----rainy cloudy weather does mess with your head for sure.   I doubted that until I lived in the Great Northwest for several years.   And we all know it is not from a shortage of caffeine!    If anything I am becoming immune to the stuff.   

I am sure most of you saw Wal Mart huge headlines about increasing min wage and benefits and such earlier in the week!? *Golf clap. But did you also see the smaller headline yesterday we're Sam's clubs are suddenly closing across the nation. Loosing 100's if jobs? For EVERY "gain" with such big business there is an equal or bigger loss. Starting when they open in your town.----I am sure I could keep going on with this---but it wont stop anyone---including myself from shopping there.   When my wife and I stopped working at Wally World---we tried to not shop there again----But with three kids, you really can't beat the prices.   Sadly.  Now we live in a town---with basically Safeway and Wally World to shop in.   And a bunch of over priced mom and pop specialty stores that set there own hours.    Like most of the time you wish to go there---they are closed.      Cliff notes----Wal Mart thrives on mastering selling cheap disposable crap to a disposable nation.    But like Rome    they will fall----and they will fall hard.    Although I have been saying that for years now!     Just sayin'
    

       Each blog post I try and add some deep and or inspirational ruining quotes.   If you go through my past blog posts you can collect them all!   Here are a few for today!

   **"What do I call a vegetarian with diarrhea?     A salad shooter!"**

     **"YOU must have been born on a highway----because that's where most accidents happen!"**

**"To the person that invented the number 0   Thanks for nothing!"**

   **"Coffee fuels my sarcasm         What fuels your stupidity??"**

Got crabs??

Sitting at the homestead the other day pondering where to Explore next.

So my beautiful wife ended up in the hospital again just lately. 

Every time she is in she gets so many blood draws and prodded and poked so much ---she had 5 IV's this time!    That I get her some type of stuffie as a prize.  

This time she got a happy beaver.

This was while we were waiting for her check out papers to leave!

More on this    very soon.

Road trip the other day   

and I looked down to see this on my gas pump.  ;)

Truck stop Wilcox Arizona

          I came across this from several years ago-----still makes me laugh:

** In case some of you have not gotten the memo---My wife and I have been in the midst of a large fight--- She has her relationship status listed as widowed at the moment. And I was talking about this at work---Mainly wondering if there was something I should know---like my wife has been slipping little doses of poison in my coffee each morning.... Anyways, at point I yelled out "My wife is a widow!" and a passing co worker---exclaimed "Is she really?" In defence I don't think she still knows the definition of the word widow---but hands down it is the stupidest thing I have heard all year

      I have been slacking from all of my pages lately.  And for that I am sorry.  I have my office set up in our garage right now, and I must say with the wind   it is a little bit chilly out here.  Everything except my fingers is covered up nicely though.  And of course the coffee is warming me from the inside out!   I have been hearing and seeing weather reports from Wyoming and beyond, so don't get me wrong---it is no where near that chilly!  Even New York has been getting pounded with real winter.    A few daze back the youngest and I went on a nice about 3.5 mile hike and had short sleeve shorts on.  So I can't complain at all about our winter and it's chilly start to the day.   Were you ---even on that day  just take off a layer or two of clothes and than enjoy a hike with 70 degree temperatures.  ;)   Although I have been taking weenie hikes lately so my legs kind of hurt after this last one.   But we did the whole hike and Exploring around in an hour and a half   so at a nice clip.     I will post pictures of course from that day and several others   very soon.   Both here and on my favorite Exploring Arizona sight     A sight I am very behind on.   But while I catch up in Exploring picture filled posts    please check out what is already on the page.  With 100+ posts to view and share.     

Where are you Exploring today?http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/

Cheers from the dusty trail as we get new pictures!

Sign I found the other day   

I have been on bits and pieces of the route but my buddy and I have a large section

we wish to Explore soon.

I don't believe the route goes through Wyoming but I like this picture because I grew up in Wyoming and my buddy grew up in Florida   and we both lived in OR for years.  

    So I was just reading an article the other day   ---yes I still do read  some.   Although I have a whole stack of books I have started or wish to read, by my bed.  In my youth I was always reading.  And when I used to take the city bus for hours---I turned to reading, because- well freaks like to talk to me, and I have found for the most part if you are staring at a book -or such-many of the interesting people are far less likely to wish to keep talking to the top of your non replying head.   Key words there are most part.   Anyways if you are just staring at a book anyways, you might as well be reading it.   OK-so back to the article.    -It said that married and other wise couples whom argue a lot ---will be together longer   because the arguing means they care about the relationship and are talking things out  etc.   Boy if that is true my wife and I will be together past the end of time!   

                  **"I can't afford anti depressants      So I am just drinking no more tears shampoo!"**---OK I stole and posted this a few weeks ago---and am now reading, again with the reading BS--and non picture books I'm reading at that----reading that a new idiot test challenge that teens are eating the Tide laundry tabs ----Seriously WTF?   As most of my rambling, I don't have the imagination to make this stuff up.   There are warnings all over the Internet and such about this trendy clean trend.  I say forget the warnings, and simply call it natural selection.   

           **"Waffles are just pancakes ribbed for your enjoyment!"**

                                          **"I put coffee in my coffee!"**

  **"Maybe it's just the beer talking,   but I like beer!"**

** Happy wife-happy life-------- Nothing rhymes with happy husband--welcome to married life, dumb ass!!"**

 **"Sarcastic and Bullsh*ting are two very different arts by the way"**
Sadly although I have mastered both---they do not pay well

Post #3 Of 2018 O Goody!

       I would like to welcome everyone back again this year.     This blog page of mine has been going on for a long time now.  And in the beginning I had a mission or two for it.  I am not sure how many of those ideals are still in place.   But I really enjoy my random rambling here.   I hope you to also!?  Although many times I believe I am the only one that fully understands my rambling.    And just like at work--I am the only one laughing---but that is OK   as long as I am happy !    In the start I used to plan out my blog posts before I typed them----so many of the older blog posts are more structured for sure!   Now I save that for my Exploring Arizona blog page   and many times on this page, my planning just involves downing tons of coffee, finding free time, and switching on the computer.   I used to write many of these from random coffee shops also.   But there are VERY few even good coffee shops in the desert---or at least this part of the desert, and those are not close to home.  Plus we have very good Internet service now---so I usually just venture out to my make shift office to post.   I lose the people watching from the coffee shops   but still get lots of coffee and save cash because I am the barista.   In the start this page was also  supposed to get me back into writing.  A post---no matter how quick each day--almost each day---some days--to get me back in the groove of writing.   I have always loved it----and my written skills have helped me get out of lots of situations that my verbal skills might not have.   On that note I have several actual letters to write ---that have been waiting on me, basically.   No one ever likes my letters it seems.   But things usually change.  Plus when I grumble on this very page ---I don't complain as much to my wife and or co workers.   See it is a marriage and job saver.   I also have through the years--- described my relationship as it has went through many many changes.   I try not to dwell on that to much here---because you all have your own issues.   You must mostly be single---if you have the time to read this dribble.   And I hope that some day if I ever wish to tell my life story---what is here will help with a big portion of that.   Although at the moment my life story is mainly just a lot of blank ass pages.  I really enjoy this page also because my comments tend to annoy people.  Intentionally or not.   When I post other places, I keep things more PG maybe.  Here --- I tend to share my whole feelings on a subject.   Although lately I have not really let loose to much.    On Facebook and such sights, my complaints and or rants are on a stream for everyone to have to see----here one must physically seek out the page to see the grumbling.  I just wish more people would comment and argue with what they see here.    

          Speaking of dribble----Three daze ago we were in several big box stores and noticed all the Valentines crap was already up.   So much red and pink colors --actually hurt my eyes!    I am madly in love, but I hate that "holiday!"    Why don't we just have a 2nd new years instead of Valentines day   ---Same day---just a ways into the new year, so that you have probably already broke all your resolutions, and can vow to do a redo----after you party your butt off all night.   Seems much betterer to me!

        Yet they couldn't accept themselves  for what they are.....  "**---Just sayin'

1-3-2018

             Hello my peeps!   Recall a few months back when you were wishing it wasn't so gosh down hot outside----well thanks to a season many of us seem to forget about EVERY year, your wishes have been fulfilled!  Or if you really wish to make some people angry -Thank President Trump for fixing global warming in less than a year!   Heck it's fixed to good---it is snowing in Florida this morning!   Wow!!   I have said this before--snow is not news-for the most part, because -now check your calenders now, it is winter time!  Although a normal snow storm for Wyoming here in Tucson would make news because the whole area would completely shut down for at least a week.   And the rest of us would go deaf from moaning and screeching sounds coming from all the snow birds in the area -who just wanted to get away from the cold.  Many of them ironically enough from Wyoming.  But have you ever noticed over the last few years---most of the biggest or at least strangest news comes straight from Floridha?   Straight out   you would think it was made up not true, mind bashingly stupid reports if you had not seen it on Fox News.... wait....    ;)  OK but look it up ----the strangest stuff happens there and on a regular bases.   Why?  I have no clue, although the longer we have lived in the desert, I swear the heat makes people stupid as Floridians and angry.   I mean honestly if you have to put up signs ---lots of signs  warning you to make sure you didn't leave your baby in the car in the heat.....     I'm not going to go into this one yet again.... you can read my past blog posts about how hugely asinine this is.  I will never claim to be a good parent----and I am forgetful as crap   but I have never forgot I had a child in the car while driving from point A to the store.   Hell the kiddos usually want to be at the store more than I do.   

     Speaking of idiots-----Like that segway there?   I do!   I recently shared my wife's wondering about the DMV catering to Mexicans with Spanish signs and tests--when all of the road signs --and well everything are in English.    And after she pointed it out, I agree how screwed up this all seems----seems like something or rule that might have started in Floridha.   Yes we live right by the boarder, but why do we need to cater to these other countries even miles and miles into US soil?   And is it really safe?   As far as reading warning signs and such.   If taking a test proves you can indeed read Spanish---maybe you should continue doing so,   in your own country!   Come on folks   you are a Mexican     not Mexican't!   ;)  I see it as saying that your kids don't know numbers---they see a 2 and yell out "Frog daddy!"  and they are 15.   Blame the schools, those tricky numbers that all look the same, blame math, or your child that identifies as a Mexican or Floridan----but blame someone   because that is the American way!   Anyways as we are blaming people---we need to change this---because lord forbid YOU teach your child numbers---that's the schools job---so you protest that numbers be takin' off of all math tests!  Unfair to the digitally challenged---and you find more kids that are the same way.   Maybe because they can't really ready numbers  or maybe because they just really hate freaking math tests.  You are now catering to them---and why?   If they don't know there numbers or English   they should not be able to drive here ---end of story!    Should it stop there?   Probably not---I mean hell-even I have a drivers licence.  And my family often says ---That's not safe!  But I know my numbers---although sometimes I mix them up.  
    Anyways, cliff notes--I got a lot of flax -over posting just some of these thoughts locally---in what I lovingly call Little Mexico----and for the reasons above at the least---I don't think it's safe or smart.    One person replied to my thoughts---by asking how many street signs were actually words-and not just symbols and arrows.   Really?   OK Mr Smarty Pants Snowflake---in town many signs are word less---but not on the highway-including the big flashing ADOT over head signs that are usually warnings.   And in English!   He than went on to argue that -the DMV simply offers a test to state that one is safe on the roads    not that you can read---   Maybe OK if you live in a country with ONE main road across the entire country.   OK---let me pause as I sip some more coffee and scream here----I really hope he is not the norm on this thought line-because after much thought, head and butt scratching, coffee, and arguing I still find it ridiculous and something you should find in a news headline from Floridha.

Just out of Sheridan Wyoming

Working on getting new pictures and Exploring in!

Where are you Exploring today??

1-1-2018----Wow!

     Hello gang of faithful readers!   Can one call two people a gang??  At the least I have been able to give both of you more to read of late.  And hope to get at least one Exploring Arizona blog post up today also!   In case you might have partied just a little to hard last night, and the coffee just is not working---I will refrain from capitol letters--yelling, and to many happy exclamation points in my post today.  I feel fine party wise, but I am now a light weight, and went into things already knowing my limits.  And that the bar is set low.   Other wise I am trying to get out of a funk today.  I don't want to start the new year this way so really trying to shake it---but things quickly become so negative some times that it is a challenge that not even my coffee can shake.   Legend says that whatever you are doing at midnight on New Years Eve-you will be doing 90% of the time of the new year.    Good goodness I surly hope that is not true this year, for my sake, and for our relationships sake.  Hopefully by the time I get to the bottom of the coffee pot, finish typing this, and have a walk about-I will have shook off this funk.   Because right now I am just battling the urge to say screw it ---and just go back to bed and sleep it off.   Anyways sober or no, non of you wish to hear my woes----so next topic!

Definitely an easier relationship   

Just maybe not as rewarding.  

       I managed to snap a few Kool pictures last night before the night went over about as well as a turd in a punch bowl.   While I was cooking up some steaks and such on the ol BBQ--and watching the magnificent sun set and the full moon rise.   Most of these will show up in my Exploring Arizona blog page very soon.    But until than I'd like to share a couple right now.   If that's all right with y'all?  If not -close your eyes as you scroll past the next section of this post.   ;)      Please check out my Exploring blog page---and share the links with all your friends!   It is picture and Exploring filled for sure----Mostly in Amazing Arizona, but I believe tonight I will finally post the next section about my trip back home, last year, to Wyoming and beyond. 

  Where are you Exploring today?http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/

Lil fire pit.  

We also have a big whole in the dirt in our back yard for much bigger burning fun. 

Both have proven to be hours of fun on many occasions. 

       I had to pause above when I typed last year, because yes it was last year---everything now-in the past was last year or before.  But weeks before the new year hits, extra amusing people like to yell out  "see you next year!'  Amazingly funny if the person saying it is 5 years old.  Not as much if they are 55.  Than funny again somehow if they are 105.  Luckily I don't people much   so it's not as much of a worry.  Just thought Id bring it up.  

    I don't know if I learned anything last year worth putting in print----most might say this whole post should not be in print.   I won't get all deep on y'all just because it's a new year and new  well everything.  That stuff is all garbage when and if you want to make  a change, you can do it any day of the year.   Many changes might be best held until tax season so you have that extra funding.  If anything I definitely learned that with life----life goes on!   And to most that greatly beats the sudden stop at the end.   Don't like this thought line?  Or think it's not deep enough to motivate you to do great things this start of the year?----Back track through my old posts on this very page.   To up the readership of course and to read all my past quotes.   Deep and time consuming they are if nothing else.
