Good day. How are you? I hope you are doing well. On Saturday I had quite and adventure. I locked myself out. I was at work, so no way to leave to get another key. I tried calling my Dad. But my Dad was in Archer City. So, he suggested I call AAA. Then, on Sunday I went to a birthday party and Scott and Steve went to the farm for the first time.
I was at work. I went to do my rounds. By the time I got back to my car, I had been locked out. I am not sure how that happened. I tried all the doors but each one was locked. I could see my keys in the ignition. Sometimes I leave the keys in the ignition, because I don’t want to lose them. Anyways, I determined that when I got out of the car to do my rounds, I must have inadvertently locked the door.
I called my Dad, who I found I was in Archer City, Texas. I hoped he could help me unlock the car. But he was to far away. So, the next thing he suggested was to call “AAA”. My Dad had recently signed up for the road side assistance. So, now was our chance to test out the road side assistance, and how it worked.
So, I looked in my wallet. Then, I found the AAA card. There was a road side assistance number on the card. I called the number, and an automated voice answered. I was a bit unsure. But I gave the automated voice my club code. Then, proceeded to follow the instructions on giving them my location: 2250 Lion Country Parkway, Grand Prairie, Texas. Eventually, I had to click on a link that AAA sent to me. I clicked on the link, and after that the voice let me know my assistance would arrive at 3:20 PM. It was already 2:30 PM. So, it wouldn’t be long before help arrived to unlock my car. There was specific menu option for people like me, who locked themselves out.
So, I continued to do my rounds. Eventually, I was notified by text that my help would actually arrive at 3:30 PM. I felt so bad for inconveniencing the AAA roadside assistance. At the proscribed time, my road side assistance person showed up in a Nissan Frontier pickup truck. He said, “I am here looking for a blue 2004 Kia Spectra”. I told him that it was my car. The road side assistance person promptly proceeded to unlock my car. First, he pride open the right front side of the door, some what close to the handle. Then, he put a narrow rod inbetween a gap he had made in the door and the frame. Then, I heard a “POP” and the front door was opened. He said to remove the keys so the battery would not be drained. Which I immediately complied with, as I did not want to be locked out again. I was so grateful to this person who had come to help get me unlocked. To think, he unlocked the door before I even finished smoking my cigarette.
I was so appreciative. I did not know, whether I was supposed to tip him. I was not charged anything at the time of the service. So, I was very happy with AAA roadside assistance service. The road side assistance person left without more than a “you are welcome”. The last I saw of him, was in his Frontier when I went to go buy some coffee at the store nearby. I made sure to let my Dad know that I had called AAA and that they were on the way.
Well, that was Saturday. I had requested Sunday off, so that I could attend my nephew, Jacob’s, birthday party. So, I did not have to work Sunday. It was so neat having the day off, and looking forward to it, I thought.
The Day Off
One of the highlights of my nephew’s birthday party, is that we had Jersey Mike’s for lunch. I got my nephew a QT card for his birthday present. Maybe he will get candy with it. I was originally going to drive to the party. But my Dad said he would drive me, and Scott and Steve to the party. Then, he suggested we go to the farm. Scott and Steve both liked that idea. Scott and Steve showed up at the house in “Big Red”, a Toyota Carola. Then, we all piled into my Dad’s Honda Civic. By 12:20 we were headed to the party.
We stopped at QT, and of course, I could not stop at QT with out getting my drink. The Red Bull Peace Edition. I bought two there. You get a deal on buying two. I also bought cigarettes, which the lady gave me Lights instead of menthol. I was wanting menthol but ended up smoking lights.
At about 1 PM we finally made it to the house. I managed to get smoke pictures of the party.
Here is a picture of David and Sarah. They were preparing for the party. They had just gotten home from church, as soon as we pulled up. In the foreground are some of the drinks, and snacks of the party.
Here is an image of some of the party goers. My sisters, my niece Madison, my niece Adelaide. You can almost see Meagan. My Dad talking to Brian, and Jordan talking to Madison a little bit.
Here is a picture of Scott and Steve. They are talking to my Mom. Scott and Steve seemed to meld very well with the party, I was so glad they wanted to come. They made me feel glad that I came.
Here is my brother’s boxer, named Mattis. For General Mattis of the USMC. He was left outside. Kind of towards the start of my party, my brother William showed up as well.
I tried to get a picture of him, but ended up getting Meagan and Jordan instead. I think that is my Mom, next to William. He is planning to move to Austin, or San Antonio. He was not sure which one, he said he liked the idea of both of them. They are still in Texas.
Me, my Dad, and Scott, though, didn’t stay for the party. After we finished our Jersey Mike’s, we headed out for the farm. That was when I gave Jacob his birthday gift. I am sad I did not get a picture of the birthday boy. Well, maybe next time. The road trip to the farm was filled with lots of sights to see, but I didn’t get any pictures. I just hope someone else got pictures as well, so we could share pictures. That’s my only way to get a picture of Jacob. Well, anyways. That’s enough about the birthday party. I will have to do another post for the trip to the farm. There at the farm we rode dirt bikes, and a riding lawn mower. Pictures, and another post to follow.
I found an article about Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson has amassed a lot of criticism for his harsh statements about our government. Everytime our government pulls some nonsense, there is Tucker Carlson, the media watch dog sounding the alarm. Well, here is an article from The Hill, that explained that when Tucker Carlson went to speak at the Awaken Church in California. While Tucker Carlson was speaking, he was met by Ukrainian protestors who call him “Russian propaganda”.
Critics have accused Carlson of being sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he has seemed to clash with reporters on his own network over war coverage.
–The Hill
So, Tucker Carlson is being accused of being sympathetic towards Russia. Not only was he met by protests from Ukrainian Americans, but at Fox News he also has had clashes with other reporters. Over his reporting on the war in Ukraine. Which is said to be slanted towards Putin. Which is interesting, because a lot of Americans question the “narrative” on the Ukraine, and think Putin might actually be a “cool guy”, because potentially, he is draining the swamp in Ukraine. Well, I don’t know about all of that. I just wanted to include this article as some reading on what is going on as it does talk about the Ukrainian Americans. Even though the article is really about Tucker Carlson. But without Rush Limbaugh, this is who we are left with, Tucker Carlson for his views and the truth flowing out from Fox News. So, Tucker Carlson made it into the news. I just wanted to share that. I am so impressed. Tucker Carlson should run for an office.
A couple weeks back, i shared an article on Cajun Truth Seekers. It almost got me banned, I think. So, I will share the article here along with my other article. The article is from CNN. I don’t normally read, or share anything from CNN. But they did have an interesting article regarding astronomy. So, I will share it here. The article is titled “There Are More Than 5,000 Worlds Beyond Our Solar System, NASA confirms”.
There is the link. I just want to share it because it made me laugh, a little sharing an article from CNN, about NASA on Cajun Truth Seekers.
Here is an image from the article. This is an illustration, from the 1990s, about exoplanets beyond our solar system. I am still laughing. But seriously, it was ironic that CNN had an article that would interest me. I did not find this article anywhere else.
The article just talks about how up until the 1990s they did not know these worlds existed, then suddenly they began discovering them. So, for the last 30 years we have been discovering more worlds beyond our own. Very fascinating article, despite the originator. It is important to stay up to date on the things going on in space. Who knows, maybe one day this will be the next frontier for capital adventures. I really think the lunar landing was a total miracle. How it went off, how they were able to communicate. I believe we have been to the moon. Though, we have not gone back since then. The other landings might be fake, but the original moon landing was actually a total miracle. Neil Armstrong read Genesis 1, when he was on the moon. This is why I believe it really happened. God made sure He was included in the Moon landing. There is a recording of Neil Armstrong reading Genesis 1. Here is Neil Armstrong reading Genesis.
They each took turns reading the scriptures. At one point, the recording dropped out. But in my mind, this is proof enough- we went to the moon. Trump said we are going to go back to the moon. So, it will be interesting to watch as yet another miracle unfolds. They say there is no sound in space, but here we have it, they were reading the Bible in space, they took the time to include God. So, I believe, God watched over them. The mission was a success. It was read December 24, 1968. During one of the lunar orbits.
Well, with that. I am done for now. I still need to write a post on actually going to the farm with Scott and Steve. Enjoy.
