Like Hiking The Fields?

Whether your just hiking or doing field experiments, you need
to keep a few things in mind, you are NOT at home in a recliner
watch your favorite TV program. When a person goes out into
the field or woodland hiking for pleasure or working, there are
a few things to remember. One, you are in somewhat of a
wilderness, not sitting in a nice, safe room looking at papers
or a computer screen. Remember that! Anything can happen
in the outdoors.

In today’s world, people usually hike on well prepared and
maintained trails. These trails are often patrolled by Rangers
or Game Wardens. But, what about the individuals that go
out where there are no maintained trails, no Rangers on
patrol, and where the chances of injury or being lost are
high?

If you are out hiking in a field or the forest, or even just a
few feet from the highway, always remember to keep your
mind on what you are doing and your surroundings. Do not
let problems at work or at home or the angry person on the
highway that passed you and gave you, a one-fingered salute
distract you. Being outdoors in the woods can sometimes be
dangerous if you do not use common sense and think about
the objective, your hike, your photos, or field research.

If you park beside the highway as you begin your fieldwork
or hiking, pay attention to what is going on around you.
Always look around your feet when you are getting out of
the car or truck. Is the ground rocky or muddy? Are there
any wild dogs or snakes around you? Is there Ice on the
gravel or rocks? When you step into the tall grass, is there
really ground under the grass or some hole being hidden by
the grass. Take your time and look around thoroughly. Your
time out there is important to you or you wouldn’t be there,
so use all of your senses.

Look, Listen, and even smell. Many encounters with wild
creatures have been associated with strong and sometimes
foul smells. Next, before you walk into the grass or trees
know where you parked your car! This might sound odd,
but in the past, I have been on trips and came out of the
trees and brush almost ¼ of a mile from where I parked
my truck!

Always carry a compass in your pack and know which direc-
tion you are going away from your car. Then just go the
opposite direction on the way back and you should have no
trouble coming out of the trees close to where you entered
the woods.

TELL someone where you are going to be at and about when
you think you will be coming back. There are enough missing
person's reports without rescue teams having to add you to
the list. Cell phones do come in handy. A survival kit (small
one) is needed. Even if you are conducting an experiment or
doing a report in a High-rise building, or gated community,
always think ahead.

In the Woods, remember while you are out there in the woods,
even a grassy field, you will not always be able to see what is in
the grass. From a puddle of water to a rabbit hole, to a rotted
log you just happen to trip over. Stepping in water in February
is a sure way to put a damper your spirits. Wet feet will slow
you down every time, as well as blister your feet.

Always try to be in good physical shape. Walking up a steep
hillside is a big difference from walking in a parking lot. You
do not want to get out 5 miles from nowhere and have a heart
attack right. Think about what you will need. Water, snack,
Binoculars, note pad, video camera (and a back up camera in
case something happens to the first one). Are just a few things.
Do not wear sandals to go walking in snow or mud. Just use
your head and common sense and you will have a fantastic
experience that you can enjoy.

Stop every few minutes and look hard at where you are and
WHAT is happening around you. Don't always keep looking
at the ground, look around yourself. Don't let your emotions
or pride ruin what could be good quality time. So many times
pride has ruined a good field trip. Leave your anger and
worries at work and just enjoy the hike.

Don't try to be Superhuman in a bad situation. I have run
into some very difficult situations and went running to the
car or truck and locking myself in, is not something to be
ashamed of. Enjoy your time spent outdoors and be safe.

Apartment Life

We live in an apartment complex that has just been sold.
With the selling, came higher rent prices we didn’t like. It
seems the complex already charges the highest price on
rent south of Atlanta or at least in this county. Thank you
Olympic games! When the games came in, living expenses
went sky high all over Atlanta. Ask them to prove it didn’t.

However, we have decided to stick out for at least one more
year. We have a pretty good neighbor up front, Allan C.
who never bothers anyone. Never! And then …. we have
this twenty something year old teenager across from him
who thinks he has the right material to be a Rap Star. Not!
If he is going to try, I do wish he'd take lessons.

But I guess that’s a fact of life living in apartments. Quite
frankly, I like apartment living when things are going smooth,
even though I know the water will get choppy at the drop of
a hat. I don’t have the time to business to run and I want to
be sure I stay on top of things as much as possible. At least
for a while.

My wife likes soft rock, some Spanish (which I can’t under-
stand), and country music. She has one or two stations she
watches on TV of Gospel music. As far as myself, I’ve
become highly selective about what I watch and what I
listen to. Most of my music now is Classical, my TV shows
are mainly documentaries, CSI and Law And Order. I have
an interest in Hypnosis and what makes people tick. At one
time, I developed this fascination with totally confusing
people, still enjoy it. I listen to a lot of pod cast. I just love
my little player.

Back In The States And Lonely

You’ll have to buy my book to get the whole story, it’s a wide
variety a little of everything and a lot of it I guarantee you
has never crossed your mind. But being back in the states
and being lonely didn’t mean I went out to find the
companionship of another woman. I didn’t do that and
couldn’t agree with anyone that did. To me, marriage is not
the game some people act like it is, marriage is the love and
devotion two people have for each other that runs soul deep
…..or at least it should. The way I see it, if a guy is into playing
around, his best bet is to stay single. Don’t make the vows if
you don’t intend to keep them.

What’s that? What’s with all the “high-lighted” words here?
If you’re that curious, check out a few and see if you catch the
message. There is a message, several infact.

Anyway, back to my story.


I was lonely, I had left the Philippines and my new bride
behind. Needing to occupy my mind and make a little extra
money, I went back to ebaying. Ebay was a great way to
make a few extra dollars, if you didn’t have to put out a lot
of money on something to sell. But I had no clue as to what
to try selling. So, I began to dig into ebay’s sales page to see
what other people were doing. Up until now, it had been an
item here and an item there.

After a few days, I stumbled across a webpage selling wigs.
One thing I knew nothing at all about. But hey, they were
factory closeouts, they were dirt-cheap and all brand new.
I went back and did searches for wigs on ebay, they were
quite a few people selling them but at a lot higher price than
what I could get them for.

I put in a call to the company to ask them a few questions,
I asked about a minimum quantity I would have to order.
There was none, that sounded pretty good to me if I could
move them. Turn around time was about ten days, so I sent
in an order for five with a form for each one. When they
arrived, I wasted no time in putting them up to sell with
whatever information I had on them. I couldn’t believe it, at
the end of my auctions, every one I put up on ebay to sell
was sold and I had a tidy profit. I placed another order and
while I waited for that order to get back to me, I went
around to yard sales looking for something I thought might
sell. I made a few dry runs at that, but hey – I was learning.

I managed to do pretty well with those wigs for quite a while,
but when the sales stopped, it was without warning. People
were still selling some, but my sales had dropped like a rock
with an anchor attached to it. There I was, stuck with a half
dozen wigs and little hope of moving them.

Then I began to try something else, books from yard sales,
they did pretty good if I posted them cheap enough. I never
tried to sell tools, clothes, or electronics because I just didn’t
think I could move them and make a profit. Yard sale
merchandise is actually what kept me in ebay after the wigs
bottomed out, I made some good money, but then I’ve also
ended up with a lot of things I couldn’t move.


A good lesson I learned was, try to have another outlet for
the things you get that don’t sell well on ebay, don’t price
everything at store prices. People go to ebay for a good bar-
gain, if they see a store price on what you’ve posted, they’ll
pass you by. Keep the prices low, ad some zip to your ad
titles, have good clear pictures, mention every little thing
you can about the item. Offer to answer any questions
prospective customers might have, and I’ve had some real
zingers. A digital camera is a great tool, but so is a scanner.
If the item is too small, the camera doesn’t catch the great-
est details. On a lot of books, CD’s, VHS tapes, I use the
scanner to scan the cover; they usually come out really clear.
On electronic items, I sometimes use a showdow box, more
about that later. It's not very complicated and its free info.

I’ll get into ebooks on my next posting maybe. Money in the
bank.

There is only one way to find out how good you’ll do, that
is to try it.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Marsha Flew back to Manila with me, and as a type of
entertainment, the hostess had this game to play with
passengers. It was singing the lines to “Leaving On A
Jet Plane”, which go like this:


All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go,
I think of youEvery song
I sing, I sing for you

When I come back
I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go ......

That song sure hit close to home ...... and heart.

That plane ride was easier to endure than the next because
she was with me. Leaving the airport in Manila would be an
all together different story. As I got on that plane, my heart
sank. I had fallen in love and married a Philippine beauty, and
had to leave her behind. That did not sit well. I felt like life
shouldn’t be so complicated.

Next time, I'll tell you about how I spent my time after
returning to the states. I'll tell you now, I wasn't partying
around. Nope, never did before, wasn't about to now.

Till then .....

Cebu City

The next morning, I boarded Cebu Pacific Airlines and headed
for Cebu. Dan, the guy I met the night before helped me out
some at the ticket desk, and went on his way. He was going to
meet a business contact there at the domestic airport, before
leaving for Cebu City on a later flight.

That was some flight, about 40 minutes after take off, the
plane was landing. I still remember the feeling I had, as the
plane came in for a landing, a feeling went through me like I
was coming home. To be honest, I had the same feeling every
time I went back.

At the airport, I looked around for my soon to be bride.
Instead, some guy I had never seen before came to the rail
calling to me. He said, “Your friend is outside”. I followed
him out and it took me only seconds to realize, he didn’t
really know where she was himself. He pointed first one way,
then the next. But, I saw Marsha first, she was a dream come
true.

She had already rented me a room at the Fuente Pension
House. After we arrived there and I dropped my bags in my
room, we headed for the Roof Top Café for a delicious meal of
Philippine cooking. This is a real open air café overlooking the
city. It is located in the Pension House for the guest, and
considered to be a portion of the roof. Down on the street below,
I could hear the “Beep-Beep” sound of taxi’s and Jeepney’s.
I soon learned Pedicabs were also a familiar sight there. These
are bicycles or motorcycles with a built on passenger cab.

The time I spent there with Marsha let me know without
doubt, she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life
with. She still is! The following weekend, we were married
there in Cebu City.

When it was time for me to leave and return to the states, she
couldn’t come with me. As it would turn out, she wouldn’t get
to come for three years. I went back as often as I could, and
each time I did, it was wonderful. Each time it left me not
wanting to leave.

In all of the places I have been to in Asia, the Philippines
remains close to my heart.

Time To Get To Know Me -- Maybe

Later Hi, I’m Lee Peal, I live in Newnan, Georgia now. Newnan
is located in the Southeastern part of the United States. I am
married to a lovely Filipina from Cebu City on the island of
Cebu near the center of the Philippines. I am in my 50’s and
have been a guard for 22 years. I decided to put this webpage
together to tell a little about myself, my family, my on going
education, and the business ventures and activities I’m ether
involved in now or have been involved in. But, I suppose I
should first tell the reader a little of where I came from. So,
here goes.

Some people probably wonder why I went half way around
the world to find the love of my life. Quite frankly, that’s not
the way things started out. I was lonely and wanted a pen
friend to talk too. I had a magazine of some kind, I think on
survival, but may have been something else. In the back
were advertisements for pen friend services, and I thought
I would give it shot.

I mailed off my order for I think eight lists, each list contained
about nine names and addresses of Asian women seeking pen
friends. When my order came in, I followed the instructions,
sat down and wrote each woman on my lists a letter telling
them a little about me and enclosing two pictures. The next
step was to mail them off and wait …and wait…and eventually
the letters began to roll in one after the other. According to
my instructions, I was supposed to write each one back.
Which I did….almost. There were a couple I couldn’t bring
myself to write back to and I’ll leave it at that.

When the letters came in, I went through them one by one.
But, there was a certain letter I kept reading over and over.
Her letter didn’t have the same feel as the other letters. She
was different somehow, she basically wrote the same type of
letter the other women did, still her letter had a different feel
to it. She wrote back, I wrote back. As the letters came in,
they went to the trash, except her letters. Time after time,
our letters crossed the Pacific …..again, and again, and again.

Eventually, the time came that I just had to meet this
Philippine Jewel. The first trip was miserable. I swear
Murphy’s Law was in full swing. I took off from Atlanta
bound for Dallas Texas, no problem. Then from Dallas Texas
to Japan, will somebody please tell me why that plane just
had to skirt around Alaska. When we reached Japan, we
were late. Philippine Airlines had already left. That meant I
had to wait about three hours for the next plane. By the time
I got to Manila, the domestic airport I was to catch my next
plane in had already shut down.

Now, here I was, a stranger in a strange city in a country I had
never been too before. And I must say, one I had never heard
very much about. The only American I thought and as far as
I could tell, the only person around me that could speak English.
I thought, now this is going to be a fun night. Then another
American walked up and introduced himself. His name was Dan
(something), he was in Manila for business.

As we talked and got acquainted, h told me about his business.
He said he comes in about eight or nine times a year for a couple
of weeks and leaves. I don’t know how it worked, but he said he
would come to the Philippines and purchase vacation packages,
take them back to the United States and sell them. At first, I
did think there could possibly be that much profit to it, until he
told me he would buy no less than 50 which would usually cost
him around $5,000. He said he would have the money wired to
a seller’s back in the Philippines and have a courier to transport
them back to the United States. The in the U.S., he would sell
the packages for roughly ten times what they cost him.

Gee Whiz! He pays $5,000 here for something he can sell in
the states for $50,000, and he never touches the merchandise?
Now, today I am wishing I could remember this guy’s full
name and address, but the card he gave me was lost some-
where during my stay.

Now, did you catch the lesson here, there is one very good
one if you can find it. Try checking the links behind some of
the words, that’s where they are. There is a lot more to
come, so keep checking back. You just may learn something
you didn’t know was possible.

“Monkey See, Monkey Do”

The Public Domain and “Monkey See, Monkey Do”
by Harval Pearce

As a Public Domain researcher, determining whether or not a book, image, audio or video resource is in the Public Domain can be a daunting task,
unless your best friend happens to be a copyright lawyer. I
have discovered some secret ways to “allow” others to do
some of that copyright research for you, at no cost to you.
Now, I am not a lawyer (and do not play one on TV), so I do
not offer this information to you as legal advice, but this app-
roach has saved me a lot of time and effort and has proven
extremely valuable in my own Public Domain research. Here
is the “secret” strategy: Discover what other information
publishers are already selling, then obtain your own copy and
sell the same thing. Monkey see, monkey do. Here’s what I
mean…

I’m sure most of you have heard of Dover Publications. I
doubt that there is any company who has developed and
utilized Public Domain content more than Dover Publications.
Let’s say you see that Dover has republished an older publi-
cation that would fit well within your niche market. Chances
are very likely that since they are publishing it, they’ve
already done the copyright research to determine that the
resource is indeed in the Public Domain (as a matter of fact,
I’m quite certain they’ve done that research). Now that
DOESN’T mean that you can order a copy of Dover’s
product and then reproduce it for your own purposes. They
have their own version copyrighted or protected by license.
What it DOES mean, however, is that you can locate your
own original copy of the resource and develop it with some
confidence that it is copyright-free. I always say that you
cannot look for something that you do not know exists.
Researching Dover’s database (also know as their catalogs)
helps you “find” those gems, of which you were previously
unaware.

Here are a couple websites that demonstrate the power of
this “secret”:

• http://ayerpub.com/CategoryPage.asp
• http://www.euriskodata.com
• http://www.higginsonbooks.com/index.html

To maximize your research results using these types of
websites, be sure to:

1. Take a look at the products they are selling. Many of these
are based on Public Domain resources, and in some cases,
might even be exact reprints. The products they offer will
give you a good idea of just what is available...think about it
...there is a reason why THEY are selling it, right?! And it
certainly aids in your quest to have actual titles for the
books that fit your niche.

2. Pay attention to the information they offer about the
books or products they are selling. This is the same infor-
mation you can use to locate your own copy. Often they
will include the title, author, year of original publication
and more. Armed with that information, you can head
over to Abebooks or Alibris and search for the book there.
You can even plug the info into your favorite search
engine. Who knows, the book may turn up being online.
Remember, there are 85 million Public Domain books out
there.

Use their resources as a bibliography to discover obscure
titles by authors that may not be listed anywhere else. In
some cases, you may discover a complete listing of titles by
your author on these sites. Use this list as your own check-
list to find the books that will best serve your niche through
Ebay, Abebooks, local used bookstores or libraries (or one
of many other online or offline places).

Whatever you do, do NOT underestimate the value of this
type of Public Domain research. Many of my own greatest
Public Domain discoveries were made at some of these
types of sites. Take time to get to know these types of
websites—research them. You just might strike gold!

content into pure gold here: CLICK HERE!

Kevin Smith

On Saturday evening, March 10, Kevin fell violently ill at
home and was rushed to hospital by ambulance. At the
time, he was unable to stand, and could not open his eyes.
He could occassionally answer a question. His blood pressure
was 239/133 and things were not looking good.

Cat scans and MRI revealed he had suffered a stroke.
Amazingly, he began to make a very rapid recovery. Many
of you have been praying for him, and it has apparently been
just what was needed. Although weakened, he seems to have
made a full recovery. His eyesight and speech are not impaired,
and there is no paralysis in any part of his body. It would appear
he will be able to make a complete recovery and return to
themic relatively soon. Kevin has asked me to convey to you
his sincere gratitude for your prayers.I talked with him last
night, and he is looking forward to getting back tothe microphone
as soon as possible.


Folks, in his own way, radio talk show host Kevin Smith is a real
Hero. We all wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

Do You Drink Carbonated Soft Drinks?

I’ll ask the question again, “Do you drink carbonated soft
drinks?” if you do, maybe you would like to try this little
experiment with one. All you’ll need is a pint jar with a
screw on top that can be resealed. Any glass pint jar that
fits the description with do. You’ll need note pad, a hotdog
wiener, and of course a cola type carbonated soft drink.

Now, pour the soft drink into the jar and be sure to leave
at least two inches of space between the soft drink and the
top of the jar. Add the whole wiener to the jar, screw the
top back on. Now, over the next few hours watch what
happens and make your notes. You just might find your-
self not believing your eyes.

One thing is for sure, you will never look at one of them
in the same way again.

How much TV do you watch?

Your mindset is in fact, your unconscious, and yet it
drives every action and reaction you make whether
you realize it or not, and the results show in whatever
profession you are involved with as well as your life.
There has been a boatload of talk about mindsets in
recent years, but very few people know what they
are and even less know how to address and change
them.

In a nutshell, your mindset is your mental programm-
ing, and to a very large extent, we are all programmed
and being programmed everyday by the society we
live in, our surroundings, where we work, by the people
we associate with, and where we worship. Our mindset
is determined by the combination of all these
experiences and more. Our values, beliefs, self-image,
attitudes, and habits that are lodged in our unconscious
mind form our mindset. They determine every action,
reaction, and every result we have in our life. You can
typically double or triple your results by dealing with
the very causality that forms the foundation of our
mindset. I have witnessed this time and time again,
and I’ve personally experienced it in my own life.

Whatever we tell ourselves over and over, it leaves
an imprint on our subconscious mind much like the
grooves of a record. The same thing keeps repeating,
and repeating and our results never change. Have
you ever heard the old saying, “If you keep doing
what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what
you’ve always gotten?” That is very much the truth.

Every time we turn on the TV, we are bombarded by
commercial after commercial with the fast paced
“Lettering”, the “Flashing” of images on the screen.
Now, think about all of those commercials you see
everyday or night and ask yourself how the commercial
may have influenced your thinking. Bet you have to
admit, it did at least a little bit. What if you watch that
same commercial over and over again, how deep in
your subconscious mind did it leave an impression?

All of this has been proven to leave subliminal
messaging on our subconscious mind. This subliminal
messaging does work. If you have any doubts, watch
someone suck on a lemon and see what goes through
your mind. Sit down to relax, turn the TV on and see
a commercial about someone quenching a thirst, then
see if you suddenly become thirsty. Watch someone
yawn, how much time passed before you yawned
yourself?

Think about the last song you heard on the radio.
Was it a happy song, or was it a song of “Deep, dark
depression”? What did the song have to say that was
positive? Did the singer sing of a divorce, did they
sing of losing every thing they had? Did the singer
sing about getting drunk, on drugs, owing more than
they could pay, or some impeding disaster? What did
the words of the song say to you? How many times
have you heard that same song, and what impression
did it leave on your subconscious mind? Did it leave
you with a feeling of comfort, or a feeling of despair?
Did the song leave you feeling good about life, your
family, did you rejoice or did it leave you feeling
numb? What did you feel after you listened to the
song?

If I tell you not to think about your bills, what do
you end up thinking about? If I say something like,
“Gee, you sure look down in the dumps today”,
what effect does it have on you? If you happen to
see someone at work you are not particularly fond
of, but tolerate, how does it make you feel? Like it
or not, we are all mentally programmed everyday
by someone or some thing. If we don’t get control
of what goes into our subconscious mind, whatever
goes in will get control of us. Now, doesn’t this make
you want to pay a little more attention to what you
listen too? It does me.

And I’ll leave it on that note till next time.

The Brick

A young and successful executive was traveling down
a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new
Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from bet-
ween parked cars and slowed down.

When he thought he saw something As his car passed,
no children appeared.Instead, a brick smashed into the
Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakesand backed
the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been
thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed
the nearest kid and pushed him up againsta parked car
shouting, "What was that all about and who are you?
Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and
that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why
did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please,
I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded.
"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the
youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's
my brother, "he said "He rolled off the curb and fell out
of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive,
"Would you please help me get him back into his
wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow
the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly
lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair,
then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the
fresh scrapes and cuts.

A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful
child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the
man simply watched the boy! Push his wheelchair-
bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The
damage was very noticeable, but the driver never
bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the
dent there to remind him of this message:

"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to
throw a brick at you to get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.
Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He
has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen
or not.

Are You Using PayPal?

PayPal is the preferred method of getting paid by any
individual (as well as many established companies)
working an online business.

If you don’t know anything about Paypal, follow my
link to the website, you’ll find for both you and the
people who pay you, it is a necessity. PayPal, now
owned by eBay, is used by over 100 million people.
It's the easiest and safest way to send and receive
money online.If you aren't already a PayPal user, you
should visit PayPal.com and setup a free personal
account right now. Once you start receiving money
in your PayPal account you can easily transfer it to
your bank account at any time, have them send you
checks in the mail, or even access it via a PayPal ATM/
debit card.

Down Time

Okay, that’s enough down time. Now its time for me
to get busy and make this blog work. By that, I mean
to make this blog what it didn’t start out to be – a
blog for a payday.

I must confess, I do not enjoy putting on that uniform
every day and driving forty miles to work (which
takes me an hour), getting off at 10PM and driving
forty miles back home. That’s ridicules! The air
pollution people are out in numbers telling us to car
pool but never stop to think about those of us who
have no way to make that work for us. Maybe they
can car pool or ride a bus, but there are vast numbers
of us who can’t. If we end up being born without a silver
spoon in our mouth, we have to work for a living. Often
times, that means driving, driving, and driving.

As I looked at the paycheck situation, work situation,
and the chances I’d win the lottery jackpot, I decided
to put my noggin to work on a plan to make money
without the lottery. Anyway, I think I stand a better
chance of being struck by lightning than hitting the
jackpot. So, making a paycheck with this blog is the
direction I’m going to concentrate on now.

Nuff said for now.

Prank Calls Are Illegal

I do not enjoy being disturbed at 6:12 AM with
annoying phone calls from people who have
nothing better to do than make prank phone
calls. So far, they have made four prank calls
and all within a 30 minute time period. I have
my cell phone on constantly for my on purposes,
not prank callers. I checked the number through
the reverse phone number lookup tools, so I know
that caller is from Oakland, California. They
are calling from 510-712-1874, and it appears to
be a cell phone.

I called my carrier and at this time I don’t
have a way of blocking this caller. But, if they
persist in making further calls, I will be glad
to let the authorities handle the matter. By the
way, the city, state, and number they called from
is below. Get the message? Prank calls are illegal.
I will be posting this note again later on.

Look .....Up In The Sky ..... Its A Weather Balloon!

Well, I guess its about time I got back to this Blog
and tried to make something of it. Quite frankly, I
need some time to just sit back and relax some place
without the hustle and bustle of every day get up an
run at it.

I know quite a few people that sat up to watch the
old year leave and the new year come in. I just
could get interested in watching something I couldn’t
see coming or going myself. I spend enough time being
up and about at midnight anyway, getting in bed at a
descent hour seems more important than bragging about
watching for something everyone else is. Anyway, if
anyone does see it, they’ll hide it on the back page
of the newspapers somewhere or call it a figment of
someone’s imagination, weather balloon, or a weird
weather phenomena. For some reason, the big shots
have a hard time telling the truth about anything.
Its almost like they do their best to see how stupid
we are, doesn’t say much for their intelligence though.


Ya know, if we were invaded by some great unknown
force, we probably wouldn’t hear about it till we
saw the smoke rising from town. Its really unthinkable
(for a lot of us) that we are the only beings around
that know how to leave a mark in history. I dare say
though, humans are probably the only creature’s around
that try to prove we know every thing when all the
evidence points to the fact we don’t know half of it.
Kinda like some high flung college professor that keeps
saying the pyramids were built by men stupid enough to
try and drag multi-ton stones across desert sands.
What’s worse, is the grim fact the young impressionable
minds tax dollars pay him to teach – believe him.

Genesis 1–1 Hidden In Plain Sight

Here are some things you probably haven’t read
before. This what Genesis really says according
to Strong’s Bible Concordance. Between my brac-
kets is what Strong’s says. Strangely enough,
this is also what the ancient Hebrew text says.

Genesis 1

[1] In the beginning [first, beginning] God
[plural, gods.] created [to create, shape, form,
to shape, fashion, create.] the heaven [heaven,
heavens, sky, visible heavens, as abode of the
stars, as the visible universe, the sky, atmos-
phere, etc] and [sign of the definite direct
object, not translated in English but generally
preceding and indicating the accusative ] the
earth [land, earth, whole earth (as opposed to
a part), earth (as opposed to heaven), earth
(inhabitants)].

Would you believe seashells on Mars?

News From Space

Would you believe seashells on Mars? I would, I
have always thought in the vastness of this
universe, there had to life on more planets than
Earth. If the photos in this website are real,
it should be enough to catch the attention of
the densest minds teaching our children. But I’m
afraid government educators would still want to

What Is That In The Dark Night Sky?

Have you ever looked into a night sky and wondered if
we are really alone? It seems with the countless billions
of stars out there, our earth being the only one with
life on it leaves an awful lot of wasted space. If we
are alone in this vast universe, why? If we are not
alone, why all the secrecy?

I have worked at night for over 20 years and have had
every chance to have seen something in a dark night sky.
I didn’t say I hadn’t, the fact is I have – and it was
not a plane. Or should I say – they were not planes? Did
I report the incidents to law enforcement? No I didn’t.
They know those mysteries are there. And why didn’t I
file reports you might ask. My answer to that would be
--- you try it and see how far you get and what happens.
And it is not the local law enforcement you need to worry
about.

The American news media has blinded people to the fact
they are there. People have been mocked and prodded by
scores of people who make claims something is our there.
Fact is, we see on the evening news what those in charge
want us to see. They feed us a line and we swallow it,
hook, line, and sinker. No, the evening newscast doesn’t
tell us everything, they don’t even come close. If they
did, then the news would be full of the events taking place
around the world every day. Even Japan is alerting their
people of what they think is coming. Why isn’t the U.S.
government?

The answers number greatly. But one is, they are afraid
they’ll lose influence over the people. And the truth is,
there are so many “Know-It-Alls” in our own country who
would laugh you into the ground. With the Macho attitude
they would display, would come the mockery of all of their
followers. Well, personally, I don’t think they would have
so many followers if people were well enough informed.

The other day a man in South Africa emailed asking
HOW TO INCREASE CAR MILEAGE BY 85% - as I had hinted

DOES A GIANT RACE STILL EXIST IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS?

A few weeks ago, a nephew was all excited about a
picture he had of a giant, “He was the tallest man
in the world”, He said. I tried to tell him, the 8-
foot giant he was so excited about wasn’t the tall-
est man in the world, and that there still may be
giants taller than that now. He wanted proof, but
I still don’t have his email address. On that note,
read the article below.


Click on the tittle and Read About The Giants

According to very numerous local reports, surviving
giants live inside the rainforest jungle mountain
ranges of Guadalcanal. They have vast cave systems
running the length of the entire island.

Australian Marius Boirayon, a retired helicopter
pilot/engineer who is married to a Solomon Islander,
has come across many Guadaleanal people who believe
these giants can travel from cast to west through
these cave systems without seeing the light of day.
It is believed that their population numbers in the
thousands.

How To Break In A New Lock

My wife has started her new job working at a new store.
She and a co-worker applied for a job there at about the
same time, they were hired at the same time. So far,
they have been working together at this store like they
did at the last store they worked at.

At the new store they have lockers where they didn’t at
the last store she worked at. While Marcie and I were
shopping this past week, we picked up two padlocks. One
for Marcie, and one for her friend Alma.

Sunday at work they tried them out. Marcie didn’t take
her purse, her friend Alma did. Marcie’s key was in her
pocket. Her friend put her keys in her purse, put the
purse in her locker, and snapped the lock. The lock
worked fine, only problem now was how to get her purse
out of the locker.

When Alma realized what she had done, she called her
husband, Barnie, to bring something to cut the lock
off with. When he came to pick her up after work, he
brought a hacksaw to cut the brand new lock off the
locker with. No dice, the hacksaw didn’t work. He
should have brought a bolt cutter. She had to leave
her purse in the locker, which contained her wallet,
cell phone, and keys. And those were not the highest
priced locks Wal-Mart had. Maybe we should have gotten
a plastic lock for her. What you think?

What’s On TV?

I’m more than a little peeved about Yahoo’s TV
Guide. Are Ya listening Yahoo? I used to be able
to go in and see what’s coming on with no hassle.
There was no sign in, no worries and in a few
seconds, “Bingo”. Tonight it wasn’t that simple.
I went to the bookmark and what happens? Yoho
wants me to sign in before I can see what’s on
the boob tube. Well, I did and guess what …… I
got in alright. BUT, it didn’t give me what I
wanted. What it did give me was a few misses
and slots where it should have shown programming
it simply stated “Local Programming.”

There has been a problem with them for some time
like having to type in some stupid code word be-
fore you can forward and email. I have had to do
it when I send my own family a note. They say
it’s to cut back on spamming. Okay, so why do I
still get hundreds of spam mails every week? Can
you tell I’m a little upset? Good!

A Conversation With Cousin

While Momma was in the hospital, I called a cousin
of mine I haven’t spoken with in years. Momma had
gotten her phone number from somewhere a couple of
weeks ago, I got it from her and put it in my phone.
Then, the day after Momma broker her hip, I gave
Cathy a call.

It was good to hear her voice. We talked for several
minutes, reminiscing, and talking about other rela-
tives. I discovered during our conversation, we both
probably have some of the same unanswered questions
regarding our relatives. Though she didn’t say so,
she probably relishes her privacy away from others
as much as I do. Or else, she would live within a
stone’s throw. I will say, I enjoyed talking with a
member from my Mom’s side of the family better than
I believe I would have from my dad’s side. And that’s
all I’ll say about that for now.

Momma Is Out Of The Hospital And In Rehab

As you can see from my last post, my mother has
been in the hospital after having broken her hip.
She had to have hip surgery to replace her broken
bone with an artificial one. Since she has been
recovering, we have been pretty busy. Well, yes-
terday she was admitted into Newnan Rehab where
she’ll be for two to three weeks at least. I’ll
update this little by little as time goes by.

I did have the opportunity to speak with a dis-
patcher from where I work yesterday. Her name
is Narda (not native to this country, but grew
up here), she said her mother broke her hip at
the age of 71 a few years ago. She told me it
took her mother about six months recovering, but
now she pretty well goes where she pleases. So,
my hopes are up that Momma will fully recover
and be just fine.

Broken Bones

I was being lazy Sunday morning (July 15, 2006),
Marcie was at work and I had been at relaxing and
listening to some Sweet Liberty Radio on the Internet
with Alan Watt. After a while, I decided to lay back
down for a little shuteye. I wasn’t all that sleepy
(I didn’t think), just wanted to stretch out a little
while. Then the phone rang, I started to get up to
answer it and almost fell on my face. Even though my
eyes were open, my head wasn’t all that clear as if I
had just wakened from some hard sleeping.

It was Mark calling (my brother’s eldest son), he was
at Bobby’s (my brother) and Momma’s. He said Momma had
fallen again and that they had called an ambulance.

He said, he was in the living room with Momma along
about 9:30 AM, while he was looking over some pictures
he heard a blunder behind him. He turned around and
Momma was lying on the floor. Her bad leg had given
way and she had fallen.

At the hospital we found out she had broken her hip at
the joint. The ball that fits into the hipbone socket
had been broken off. They would have no choice but to
replace that part of the bone with an artificial bone
(metal). She would remain at the hospital for a few
days, then be moved to a rehabilitation center.

She is doing better now, though she is worried about
her garden. The Lord smiled on her and watered it good
last night. My brother said they had gotten a fraction
over a half inch of rain.

You aren't who you thought you were, and you

Getyour copy of this phenomenal book today!
Written by Kevin Smith of the Kevin Smith Show.

Need A Hair Cut? Well, That’s Your Business, Not Mine.

I was born in N.W. Alabama to a severely countrified
couple. Dad was from one type of church, Mom from
another. Both were set in their ways and beliefs and
usually those beliefs were a lot different to what
mine would be. Can’t help it, some of the things you
hear in this family just plain don’t make sense. Let
some member of my dad’s family do something he might
think is a little improper and he would let it slid.
Let me try it and I would end up on the carpet or at
the wrong end of his belt.

Mom on the other hand, never whipped me, but she
would talk to me. I didn’t say I would see it her way
every time, but it was much more civil with her.
Where my dad left anger and hurt feelings behind, Mom
and I ended the conversation satisfied we had both
aired our views without yelling, hurting feelings, or
creating painful memories that would never heal. Dad
preached a lot, read his Bible a lot, but as far as
being a model image I would want to live by – forget
it. I can’t think of anyone in his family I can say I
was ever close too.

My dad made a lasting impression on me during my younger
years. The truth is, I made a vow I would never be like
him. When I was a child, I knew what I wanted to be and
what I wanted to do when I got older. That dream was des-
troyed because of where we live and my dad’s hard hand.
On the other hand, my mom tried to encourage me to follow
that dream years later. But the truth is, I don’t have
the drive now to do what I wanted to when I was young.
The events of my life, the memories behind me, and what
they did to my dreams have robbed me of something I want-
ed so much I could literally taste it.

I was over at my folk’s house today helping my brother
with a porch to a shed. It was hot and the heat soon
caught up with us. An innocent remark my mom made about
me needing a hair cut somehow brought something back to
mind my dad would have said if he were still alive. I know
she didn’t mean anything by it, but had my dad said it –
it would have been a different matter. My dad’s people
are some of the nosiest people on earth. They did and do
go out of their way to stick their nose where it doesn’t
belong.

Bullied Children

I’m going to side step here for just a little while
to talk about “Bullied Children”. I know what bullied
children go through, I was one. Bullying can leave a
mark on you that will last a life time. It has on me.

A bullied child will never forget the names of those
who bullied them. Many can’t or wont let go of those
painful events that stole their precious childhood. If
the bullies came out and openly asked forgiveness, that
would help. But, the wounds they left in the child they
bullied will never be completely healed. They will
always be there.

Over the past months, I have been working on a book about
my childhood, telling my story as detailed as possible.
It is not a pretty story, but sometimes I find it helps.
Its away I have of fighting those painful memories. The
story tells the first painful event that I remember, and
continues on up into my teenage years. It tells of the
tears, the beatings, the faults accusations and much, much
more. The places are real, the people are real, and the
teachers that pay attention to what was going on are real
as well.

As my writing the story helps me, I suggest anyone, any
child who has been or who is currently being bullied to sit
down and write out their story. Put their story in print,
maybe let others know what you go through. It could save
another defenseless the pain and agony of what you have to
deal with. I plan to write more on this in the coming days,
weeks, maybe months. I truly hope the name of the reader
doesn’t appear here.

If I publish my book, if I sell my book …. Then you’ll know
where and how the name Castaway Lee originated. I was a cast-
away, I became a loner, and to a very large extent, I still
am.

Conservative Radio Host Won’t Discuss Controversial News Story on Show

I just ran across this on Kevin Smith’s website. Here
is the reason you don’t hear a lot of the real juicy
stuff on radio. Many of the talk show hosts that have
the most coverage on the airwaves are just plain scared
to get on the subject, or they think the same junk the
evening newscasters need help keeping blinders on the
public. Its kind of like the grip society has on you,
you claim you are a free thinker, but your action prove
you are not.

A big time host here in Atlanta never mentions UFO’s or
the paranormal, but he is constantly spreading his views
regarding politicians, taxes, government schools and so
on. Question, is a talk show host who refuses to get on
the subjects of the paranormal and better than the even-
ing news they downgrade so much?

Nothing On The Radio

I don’t usually get into politics or sports here, I
don’t in my personal life. But, I will right now
because I’m still fuming. A few nights ago when I was
on my way home from work, I turned on the radio to
hopefully be entertained a little on my drive. But
with at least twenty stations on the AM band, all I
could pull in was either politics or sports.

I turned to FM 1, all I heard was music (which I get
enough of otherwise), and it the same went for FM 2.
I usually enjoy listening to talk radio, but when the
only thing the host wants to talk about is politics,
I’m turned off. My only other choices were music or
sports. I was not in the mood for music and I’m not a
sports fan. Has talk radio about to hit the mud?

Think about it, there were at least eight AM stations
in Atlanta with good reception that night, and half
were on politics, the other half were on sports. Why?
Do these station managers not realize there are people
out there who Do Not enjoy this stuff?

Two Masters of Talk Radio May 28, 2006 Interview

Tonight at work, I listened to a broadcast where
Dr. Brooks Agnew interviewed world famous talk
show host, Kevin Smith. The subject was mainly
regarding Smith’s book, “Gods In The Garden”.
This was one terrific show.

As the two masters of talk radio talked, the sub-
jects crossed over many things I had noticed in
the Bible myself. Those being; The two creations
of man, more than one cataclysm, gods in the
plural and many more. I could have listened to
this subject almost all night long, but my player
wouldn’t have held that volume.

I guess I first noticed the big difference in the
story in Genesis and what I’ve heard all of my
life back about the middle of 2005 when I started
taking the chapters verse by verse. “Whoa! I
didn’t know that!” Was the thought (politely put)
going through my mind. Right there in Genesis,
chapter 1 is the story of the creation of the earth
– more than once.

On the fifth day, male and female were created. But
Adam and Eve weren’t created till after the seventh
day.

But all of that doesn’t even scratch the surface.
For more of my thoughts on it, you’ll have to wait
till this little guy finishes his book. In the mean
time, why not go to Dr. Agnew’s website and listen
to his interview with Kevin Smith. After that, you
may find yourself wanting to purchase “Gods In The
Garden”.

By the way, do you still think the serpent in the
garden was a snake? Really? Give me one good and
sound reason why you think that.

I’m outta here!

Welcome To The United States Jennifer

I would like to welcome my wife’s niece Jennifer to the United
States. She arrived here from the Philippines today. Soon, I
don’t know how soon, she will wed John McCurrie of Nashville
Tennessee. Kids, I wish you both the best.

Dinner In Cebu City

I recall the first time I went to the Philippines. As
my plane came in for its landing, I felt like I was
coming home. I was going to meet my fiancé. A woman I
had written many, many times. How many times our letters
had crossed the Pacific? I had lost track, but then – I
was counting them. That same woman I went there to meet,
did become my wife. And she has made me so happy. The
accompanying picture is from the roof top café’ of the
pension house where we spent part of our honey moon.

The Conversation

It seems to be part of the human nature to place you
under conditions. People are so free to tell someone
else they can't have this or that, or shouldn't do
something because its wrong and they give you hundreds
of reason that all wear the labels of belief (their
belief). The facts you've presented to them don’t
stack up to any more than a meaningless whisper of
the wind. Even if you put it in writing, they couldn’t
see it, or wouldn’t see it.

Back a few weeks ago, I was talking with my nephew.
The subject was talk radio, local AM broadcasting was
his bag. I made a comment about the best radio was
not on any local daytime stations schedule. He stated
he had listened to Coast To Coast AM himself. Which,
revealed to me his ambition to explore the Internet
broadcasting. I said that’s not the only one, and
began to name over a few in trying to point him in
the right direction – which would be away from all of
that political and sports stuff.

He asked what I had against sports. So I told him,
“Nothing unless you try to peddle it off on me.”
I said, “The biggest things I have against sportscast
are; if we did have an attack or invasion, half the
country would have their eyes glued to a boob-tube to
see who won what. They would never see the attack tak-
ing place till the bullets flew around them. The next
thing I have against them is, while they may be enter-
taining, the are not at all educational. But then
neither is constantly listening music to nothing but
music.”

It is funny, have you noticed when you've handed some-
one logical reasons at point blank range, it still
goes right over their heads? He thought I was speaking
up against the talk master himself, or good ole Rush.
I didn’t mention either name, I simply stated I listen
to broadcasting you don’t hear on local stations – and
you are not likely to hear it, its too plain for them.

He asked what I did listen too. He couldn’t get the
bananas out of his ears, I had already told him. Next
time I’ll write it down and hand it to him in person.
Or, I could give him the link to my Blog.

The fact is, I don’t listen to radio host that can’t
seem to talk about anything except politics, sports,
or those happy with degrading other people. When
WSB 750AM, WGST 640AM or some of those other stations
start airing Kevin Smith, Marshall Masters, Rob
McConnell, or Brooks Agnew – then the stations will
have my attention. I seriously doubt they will till
then.

After our conversation had ended, he probably didn’t
recall a single name I mentioned. So, I guess my next
step will be to make up business cards listing the
programs with the webpage addresses.

Experiment With A Certain Email Account

I have a Y_____ email account I use for ezines and
chat. Back a while I noticed, as I expect many did,
I had to enter this stupid code to send out mailings.
The purpose of the code is to cut down spamming, but
what it really does is interfere with legitimate
users using the address they secured for their pur-
pose. It doesn’t restrain spammers at all, but gett-
ing Y______ to understand this is pretty much the
same as pouring a cup of water into a well – all you
can tell you have is a little more water. There is no
need to contact Y______ about the problem, all you’ll
get is an electronically generated letter asking you
to fill out a form – over and over and over.

After a few weeks of being brain warped by the necess-
ity of using the code to respond or forward emails, I
have decided to try an experiment on Y______. This is
what I’m doing and I will be posting the results here.
I opened up a dummy account especially for the experi-
ment. The only thing I will be doing is monitoring the
address every day to see what happens. I will not be
mailing from the address, or receiving replies from
anyone I’m corresponding with. My only purpose for this
account is to see how long it will take a spammer to get
their spam mail to me. As of this posting, the address
has already been set up and waiting.

Stolen? Stolen from A Guardhouse?

I work in security, my shifts are at night Monday
through Friday. We work for a security company that
contracts work from other companies.

We also have a camera (Did have) in the guardhouse
to take pictures of incidents should we need them.
This week I opened the drawer where the camera is
kept, the camera wasn’t there. I began to look for
it in the hope it was just put somewhere else. I did
not find it. This doesn’t look good considering the
only people who work in the guardhouse are guards.

Without delay, I sent a memo to my immediate super-
visor, but it just happens my supervisor is out of
town till Monday. I don’t expect the camera to turn
up, if it doesn’t the guards will have to see that
it is replaced. I’ll probably let you know what takes
place next week when my supervisor returns and reads
my memo.

Should Men Carry A Purse?

I must admit, some men seem to need one. Jimmy is a
fun loving clownish sort of guy and works at the same
place I do. About a week ago, he was out in a company
vehicle and he and his partner stopped at a Waffle
House for lunch. About thirty or so miles later, they
arrived back at the plant and it was time to clock out.
Jimmy’s partner would get to go home, but poor Jimmy
had to drive back to the Waffle House to get his phone.
The Waffle House called the plant and left a message
with Jimmy’s boss.

Jimmy had to use the same van he had driven all over
three counties that same day to get back to the Waffle
House because he couldn’t find the keys to his car.
The Waffle House hadn’t linked the keys to the phone
yet – they were found in different locations. The phone
was found on the table in the booth, the keys were
found in the restroom. Do men need a man bag?

His boss can’t say much, he lost his wallet a few days
ago. It was mailed back to him (with everything still
in it) from Riverdale Georgia. The party that found it
had bought gas at the same store Mitchell did, but
waited till they were back in the town they (the finder)
lived in before he put it in an envelope and dropped
it in a mail box back to him. Do men need a man bag?
You tell me.

Superbug strain hits the healthy --Newest Killer

Superbug strain hits the healthy

A drug-resistant superbug that spreads by skin contact is infecting thousands of people across the US and may now have reached Europe.

The MRSA bacterium, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, can be resistant to many antibiotics. It has long been a serious problem in hospitals and nursing homes, where it infects the wounds of patients weakened by disease or injury. But it now appears that a new strain is emerging that spreads through skin contact and can even infect healthy people.

Here Is Something I Bet You Didn't Hear On The 6 O'clock News

Red coloured rain occurred in many places of Kerala in India during July to September 2001 due to the mixing of huge quantity of microscopic red cells in the rainwater.


Something weird fell in the red rain
Government report ruled out dust, and instead put the colour down to the presence of spores from a lichen-forming algae common to the region.


Microbes In Mysterious Red Rain Water
Kerala, India (AHN) - Godfrey Louis, a physicist at Mahatma Gandhi University, India, believes that water samples taken from the mysterious blood-colored rain that fell sporadically across Louis's home state of Kerala in the summer of 2001, contains microbes from outer space.


Morgellons Agony of Skin Lesions and "Brain Fog"
Reports of a mysterious medical condition are cropping up across the country but doctors are divided on whether it is a real disease or all in their patients' heads. Called Morgellons Disease, patients who report having it describe sensations of creepy-crawlers beneath the skin and fibrous filaments oozing out of open wounds.


Mexican monolith could change history
MEXICO CITY - A carved monolith unearthed in Mexico may show that the Olmec civilization, one of the oldest in the Americas, was more widespread than thought or that another culture thrived alongside it 3,000 years ago.

For The People By The People?

One of the most beloved things about America is the
freedom other countries hear that we have. My wife
is from the Philippines, a drop-down wonderful place.
After we married, I discovered half of her friends
wanted to come to the United States, the other half
thought the stories they heard about America were to
good to be true. I suppose a lot of those stories were.

Some of her friends had heard money came easy here and
life was grand. They had read about magnificent homes
that sparkled, fantastic employment opportunities, and
all that glitters is gold. I have tried to tell them
the truth, Filipinos here have tried to tell them the
– but will they listen? No many will.

Its true our nation has never known the scourge of
debtor prisons. Your not in danger of being beheaded
once you step outside, and a good education is available
for those who will work for it – provided you don’t use
the government schools to get it. Shopping malls are
popping up everywhere, and the auto industry turns out
the finest of automobiles of any country. But, here in
American everything that glitters is NOT gold, and you
certainly don’t always get what you want.

Most of the reasons so many from other countries want to
come here – doesn’t exist here the way they have been told.
These beautiful dreams of finding a rich and wonderful life
here often ends up being just that, nothing more than a
fleeting dream for many. To be able to be really free, the
government has to be controlled by the people, for the
people as it was intended. However, I am afraid it is
becoming a governmental state for the “Elite” instead of for
the “People”. To press my point, how many laws were passed
in the first part of this year alone we where we, the
citizens, had no voice in? There are laws and bills that are
constantly coming up for votes we never hear about, there
will be more before the year is finished. Those laws and bills
“DO” effect each and every one “us” every day in some way and
we often never hear a word about them until it is too late to
object. The only ones who seem immune are the law makers
themselves. Once the law is passed, it takes a massive
undertaking to have it reversed. Think about it!

When I was in the public school system, the teachers then were
terrible at educating the students. I was an avid reader of
subjects they probably never knew existed. Most of the people,
whom did know, saw such subjects as science fiction. Other
students thought I was a head case in need of Special Attention,
but if they would look back and compare those days of the 1960’s
with today, they would see what they considered science fiction
then was reality today. I failed a lot giving answers according
to the information I had read (outside of school textbooks). The
teachers failed me because my answers were not in compliance with
school literature. As a result, I always felt the public educators
had something to hide. I lost all trust in them and turned to
reeducating myself as much as possible while at the same time,
giving them the answers they wanted.

That is roughly what is going on today in the government, what we
(the citizens of this country) want is not in compliance with what
our elected officials want. The congress and senate push one thing,
religious institutions want another and those of us on the
sidelines have little opportunity to be heard. That is if we even
know about the votes to begin with. Our government (and the religious
institutions) appears to no longer be for the people and by the
people, but for themselves and we are left feeling the effects of the
constant battle they keep brewing up.

What Was The Cover-up Hidden by Monks for 500 Years?

Sketches hidden beneath one of da Vinci’s most famous
works have been revealed to the public for the first
time after scientists discovered the provocative
images under a thick layer of paint. You can click on

The DaVinci Code

I put off writing about this for quite a while. But then
every time I turned around, someone was bringing it up.
My own supervisor is one such person that run something
into the ground as deep as anyone.

Recent media reports have stirred up so much discussion
about Jesus as the book and movie "The DaVinci Code", the
Christian side of society and the “I hope I’m a Christian”
sector has given Dan Brown and his creations publicity the
writer didn’t openly ask for. That same publicity attracted
the public into book stores and theaters like a magnet
attracting steal. Brown made millions on sales!

True enough the book raises a *lot* of fascinating historical
questions. But I am an amateur researcher and I have a mind
that digs into places and history people don’t often think
about. This uproar or conspiracy the book and movie covers
is not new. It has been around off and on for over a hundred
years.

One thing I would like to point out about Da Vinci’s Last
supper painting we see in some many places is, it is a
problem either way a Christian looks at it. If that is Mary
Magdalene, that is a problem, it means Jesus may have been
married. But if it is John as many people say they believe,
we have another problem, and that means Da Vinci is say John
was very feminine. And the church and Christianity in general
would have a problem with John being a crossdresser. Right?

Quite frankly, I don’t care which is true or if neither is.
My point is, nothing can start the sparks flying like having
one’s belief and faith questioned. One well known minister
that has both a radio and TV program even has a CD out on the
book and movie. People get upset when their faith is challenged.

Scot McKnight, professional historian has a fascinating view
on this. He's a professor at North Park University in Chicago,
and he's written over 20 books. You can listen to Dr. McKnight's

Children's Imaginary Friends -- Real or Not?

The Unseen Playmate

When children are playing alone on the green,
In comes the playmate that never was seen.
When children are happy and lonely and good,
The Friend of the Children comes out of the wood.
Nobody heard him, and nobody saw,
His is a picture you never could draw,
But he's sure to be present, abroad or at home,
When children are happy and playing alone.
He lies in the laurels, he runs on the grass,
He sings when you tinkle the musical glass;
Whene'er you are happy and cannot tell why,
The Friend of the Children is sure to be by!
He loves to be little, he hates to be big,
'T is he that inhabits the caves that you dig;
'T is he when you play with your soldiers of tin
That sides with the Frenchmen and never can win.
'T is he, when at night you go off to your bed,
Bids you go to sleep and not trouble your head;
For wherever they're lying, in cupboard or shelf,
'T is he will take care of your playthings himself!

Some of My Cousins Have Asked About Me

Well, my book on Genesis is finished. Now I’m sitting here
reliving my past to put it in a book. Its likely to upset a
few, but if it does, they should realize there were times
during my life when I was upset and they just didn’t seem
to care.

My Mom tells me some of my cousins have asked about me and
asked why I don’t come around. One is the pastor of a church
out from Fairburn where I grew up. One is the piano player,
another I think is a deacon. I’m sure they would like to see
me, it has been a long time. Quite frankly, they didn’t want
me around when we were all kids. They made it obvious as to
how they felt. So, why should I go around them now? I’m sure
they haven’t forgotten the way they were back then, I haven’t.
And if they do remember those days, why haven’t they moved to
resolve the matter? Why does it fall my place to resolve the
matter? Or is this another one of those one sided things where
their hands are clean?

Genesis

I’ve been severely slow with Blog entries and would like to
explain why. Over the past several weeks, I have been working
on a regarding the biblical book of Genesis. I did give a few
hints of the book in my Blog, but didn’t give away the content.
The book should be ready to sell by the first week of June 2006.
The purchase of the book will be through www.paypal.com and will
be available for download in PDF format. The price will be very
affordable. There is not a printed hard copy at this time, but
may be in about a year.

The book I’ve written doesn’t deny the existence of God in any way.
It does however give possible explanations regarding some of the
events of Genesis times, how the miraculous acts and deeds might
have been performed. I also bring up scores of questions I have
pondered myself and expect many others would have had they noticed
some of the things in the Bible I have.

AStrange City Rising

A Strange City Rising

Here is a really interesting occurrence. Tourists and local
residents both witnessed a very strange mirage which lasted
for four hours off the shore of Penglai City in east China's
Shandong Province on Sunday, May 7, 2006.

The mists rising on the shore created the image of a city,
with modern high-rise buildings, broad city streets and busy
streets filled with cars as well as crowds of people all
clearly visible.

The city of Penglai had been soaked by two days of rain before
the rare weather phenomenon occurred.

The Feds Are Collecting Citizen Phone Records

Don’t know if any of you have heard this, but the federalies are
collecting U.S. citizen’s phone records. So far,AT&T, Verizon and
BellSouth are turning over records of tens of millions of customers'
phone calls to the National Security Agency, according to USA Today
reports that came out today.

According to the report, the program was started shortly after
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Reports are that the NSA
isn't listening in on the calls (so they say), but they do admit
collecting information as to who talks to who and when, and record-
ing phone numbers. They say, the “Agents are reportedly looking for
patterns that suggest terrorism”.

Be on your guard, they may come knocking on your door if you have
used the wrong words in your phone call conversations. You can read
the article for yourself as I have included it. Just watch what you
say.

An Unusual Event From My Own Past

While I work on my book, I decided to post some on my unusual
experiences here. Some, unbelievable I know, still these
experiences actually did happen. Things happen to everyone
(or almost everyone) that can’t seem to be explained by any
means to satisfy the person these events happen too. In my
opinion, there are no exceptions. I’ve just recently joined a
group that explores such events. I hadn’t had a chance to listen
to Dreamland, but my daughter had and mentioned the current
program with Starfire Tor and Brandon Scott.

The program reminded me of my own past and a peculiar event
that has always “Bugged” me. You see, I grew up as somewhat
of a loner, I just didn’t seem to fit in with any crowd around.
Being a loner, I began roaming the woods near my home and I
guess the truth be known, I considered those woods my second
home.

I was about fourteen at the time, I was out in the woods one
morning with my dog. The area was a thick pine grove at the
top of a hill overlooking a lake. An old road lay right through
the pine grove, it had grown up over the years till the old road
bed was hardly visible. I knew the land was posted, but that
never bothered me much, I just wanted a place to go to get away
from people since that seemed to be the only time I stayed out of
trouble.

On this particular morning I stopped for a moment. I guess my dog
saw what was taking place the same time I did. A fog or something
appeared, it looked something like what you might imagine the
smoke would be coming from a hole in the ground with something
smoldering. Only, I knew that place pretty well and there wasn’t
a hole. The fog or smoke began to take the form of a human or
humanoid. Now, as I said, I was about fourteen, young and I was
scared. I would say my dog was too, to be honest, I couldn’t say
which of us had the lead in leave tracks behind. My only thought
at the time was making my way across our pasture near my home as
fast as I could travel. I’m still not sure how I managed to clear
that barbed wire fence between me and home.

I have always wished I had stayed around long enough to see what
was materializing in front of me, but my feet just wouldn’t stay
put. I’ve had many others that are quite different over the years,
but I guess this one has bugged me the most.


Cheers to all

Drawing Wild Conclusions

Today was usual, I took a shower to get ready for work, took
a clean uniform from the closet and was soon ready to face the
traffic of my shift. Sometime later, after arriving at work,
I found a small porous stone in my pant pocket. It would have
been easy to speculate as to how it found its way into my
pocket. I could have said some little person with a mischievous
nature threw a handful in the washer as we did the laundry. But
then, I could have said I got the little stone in there at work
even though I don’t work around gravel or sand being loaded or
hauled. I could have said it got there while gardening, but I
live in an apartment. I could draw up any conclusion as to how
the stone got in my pocket, said that’s how it happened and
announced the end to the mystery. But, it wouldn’t have been
the truth.

The same thing is going on in our public school system today
to a large extent. When the subject comes around as to who
built the pyramids, how and why – our educators come to one
conclusion. They tell our young the stones were quarried else-
where, moved across desert sands by hundreds of men dragging
them. Then they propose the same men built ramps of sand to
drag the stones up and into place.

That sounds a bit ridiculous when you consider the fact that
today we do not have the equipment nor technology to do such
things. And these stones were perfectly cut and sized. How can
we expect a culture, a civilization, many insist were primitive
(compared to us) were able to do it? Even if the Ancient
Egyptians had the ability to move these huge multi-tons stones,
how did they cut them to the exact shape and size miles from
the construction sites?

The educational system would rather make up wild and unbelievable
stories to drill into our children’s young impressionable minds
than to admit they don’t have a clue as to how such massive
structures were built. Even with the thousands upon thousands of
folk lore stories of ancient advanced civilizations, the thousands
of ancient text and manuscripts, and scores of geological and
archeological findings – our educators still say the pyramids were
built the way the always have. They refuse to admit they were
wrong, till the do admit it, they will be wrong.

If they would just admit they don’t know, maybe these young and
impressionable minds would search for the truth. But as long as our
educational systems and government keep hiding the truth, these
young minds have less information to begin their search for the
truth. I for one refuse to support public education as long as the
educators keep covering the truth and hiding the evidence.

As far as the little stone I found in my pocket, I didn’t dream up
any wild possibilities as to how it got there, I just accepted the
fact that I didn’t know. At least I’m not trying to blame it on some
little invisible, mischievous fairy. Me blaming a fairy would be as
wild as our educators telling our kids those pyramids were built by
thousands of men to be used as tombs. The sad thing is – people would
rather believe the lie than to demand the truth.

Have You Read Genesis Lately?

I have been working on an ebook on The Book of Genesis from
the Bible, it should be available during the latter part of
this month (May 2006). In the ebook, I point out several
areas I’ve questioned. I feel reasonably certain I’m not the
only person to notice these things. However, considering the
way I was raised (Christian), for many years I wasn’t able to
ask my questions. If I had, chances are I would have been
harshly condemned. Later on in years, my questions became the
layout for a book on the first book of the Bible, Genesis.

As I studied Genesis, I realized there were much more than a
few oddities hidden there. I saw a lot I had never really
noticed just sitting there in plain sight. Then I realized I
probably wasn’t the only one raised in a Christian home that
would question such things, actions, and characters in a
person we are told to be up right and godly. These were the
sort of things my folks and church taught were wrong to sinful.
Yet, the very ones we are told God chose to do his work were
doing these things.

As I was reading, I was also putting together the layout for
an ebook, but the thought of an ebook didn’t cross my mind at
first. Trying to dig all the oddities I found out of each
chapter’s verses is what I was doing. Digging the hidden fibers
of soiled raiments from the closets of sainted biblical
characters fired an interest in me write about what I found.
Then I posted a few scrambled notes from each chapter one at a
time here in this blog. My digging isn’t over yet, I am about
ready to move on to Exodus.

When my ebook on Genesis is finished, I’ll put it up for sale
here in Adobe format. The price will be affordable to most anyone
and payable through http://www.paypal.com . When payment is
received, it will be sent to the buyer’s email address.

Thanks for stopping by, and please check back soon.

South Pole Telescope

Its been recently revealed America is now spending fortunes in
some sort of a special space watching program in the most hostile,
uninhabitable, and inaccessible place on earth – way down at the
south pole. A secretive complex is now being put into operation
which is known as The South Pole Telescope (SPT) in Antarctica.
When the installation is finished, it will be the size of a mini-mall
and of course being where it is located, it will require massive
amounts of funding to maintain and operate. But, regardless of
the expense to operate and the staffing required – not one Senator
or Congressman has questioned the need for this complex despite
the cost.

Just to transport the equipment required a fleet of C-130 Hercules
aircraft to airlift the pre-assembled modules and a large staff to this
most desolate part of the earth. Why? What are they looking for?
Something in deep space was sighted back in 1983 and that finding
spurred the USA to build the SPT (without regard to cost).

Government agencies have never worked so closely together for one
single solitary cause as they seem to be in this venture. No news cast
have been released to inform the public of what is taking place there
and why. What could astronomers be looking for there that they can’t
see from a more accessible facility already in operation? Because doom
will be coming from the south?

Cave Paintings

Cave paintings, they’ve been found all over the world. Have you ever
wondered who made them and why? What were they trying to say and
to whom? Some are incredibly accurate in detail, while others look so
very primitive. Yet, I believe they all have something to tell us if we
will only open our mind to the possibilities. Some of us have tried to
solve these great and mysterious puzzles from the past. But then, some
are also afraid of what they may reveal once interpreted.

Like cave paintings, stories of floods, cataclysms that destroyed
civilizations have also been found all over the world. Stories of
civilizations that once flourished then vanished leaving behind only
dim footprints in the sands of time till some curious researchers began
to put the shattered pieces together one piece at a time.

Some say these ancient paintings found in caves were made by ancient
cave men, these are the same people that expect us to believe the great
pyramids were build as tombs for kings. And those men dragging the
multi-ton built the stones across desert sands to one location. They
seem to forget the details as to how the stones were perfectly cut to size
and shape. Never mind the fact that we don’t have the skill or technology
to do the same thing today. Our civilization hasn’t yet managed to invent
the machinery to do it. And these educators expect us to believe a lesser
culture could thousands of years ago.

A few people believe there have been many catastrophes throughout the
history of earth where even the most advanced civilizations were reduced
to a mere handful of people. If there were catastrophes over and over
again that wiped out the untold number of civilizations the world over,
what of the survivors?

Wouldn’t they have tried to leave their stories behind somehow? If they
did, how would they have left them? Wouldn’t they have possibly used
paintings in the very caves they sought refuge in? What would those
paintings look like, what language would they write their story in? Could
it be they hid out in those caves where cave paintings have been found?
Could it be they, the survivors themselves, created those paintings trying
to leave a record of their existence and what they saw for the future
cultures and we just haven’t managed to unravel the mysteries yet?

Consider this, a family escapes a tsunami by retreating to a cave in near a
mountain. Thinking the worse has happened, they make their wall
paintings and write notes in their own language to anyone who might by
chance stumble across their place of refuge. Now, think about this – if it
should happen again, and it will, aren’t the chances high the next survivors
will do the same as those in the past?

Here in our own day and age, there is speculation and research toward the
possibility of a fly by of what has been referred to as some type planetary
object over the next few years. Evidence of such an event is very convincing.
I might also add that should such an object come too close to earth, it
wouldn’t have to collide with earth to be catastrophic. A large enough body
passing through the ecliptic plane would effect every planet in the solar
system – possibly to the point of unbelief, till it happened that is.
