Hattian Immigrants

Have you looked at a map with Haiti on it. 1,974.096 miles from Haiti to the Texas border. The island is a little S-E of Cuba. There are a couple ways to get to Mexico from Haiti if your walking, each is a fairly large swim. Once in America, under the bridge in this case.

Who is getting these people where they can cross into Texas? Who is paying their way? Why? How come these people are so well dressed and clean? How come some of the men go back to Mexico to BUY food to bring back to the compound (bridge)? What is really going on?

More importantly why isn’t anyone talking about this? And even more important why isn’t our government talking about it?

Small Local business

I’ve been speaking about some things that upset me. I don’t want to be all negative, it’s really not me.

We all know how the cost of food has gone crazy. Seems everything is twice as much and some things even more. This gave me a thought about local farmers, and produce. My wife said today she was going to buy a bag of spinach it was marked at $5.00 and something, and this was at Wal-Mart. She refused to pay that when a few months ago it was $2.00 – $2.50. So we have decided to go local and buy produce from the local farmers, at the markets and road sides. We have many of them around town and in the countryside.

So that is our goal for this weekend to see how they stack up. The produce will be fresh, hopefully more reasonable and we can support local business. Being a businessman I know how that helps. So next week I will let you all know how it works out. And hopefully we will help a farmer and ourselves.

911

The worst day for our country that I’ve experienced by far.

It was morning and I was at work. News came over something probably one of the computers. We went into out large conference room at Seneca Data and the TV was showing the horror. I wondered if it was a strike or some kind of accident. I couldn’t stop watching I think for the rest of the day. I don’t think I could have spoken. It was such a terrible day. Then the second plane hit the other tower, and I knew it was no accident.  Seeing people jumping to get out of the towers, seeing the carnage happening wondering what will happen next. Then the Pentagon and then the people bringing down the 4th. What courage people have in America. It was a day we can never forget.

  I remember President Bush being told as he sat with the children. I could see the horror in his eyes. I must say I was extremely proud that he was president at that time. He did not hesitate on anything. It’s not for me to judge his decisions. I was glad he moved quickly and went after those that harmed our great nation. Many people died that day and are still dying today because of that day.

Now the people that were in charge of this horrific act own Afghanistan. Talk about “that’s not right” I know we can’t do things like this but I wish we could have just blown up the whole country over there and been done with it. Instead we spent 20 years there and our solders did good this. To bad it all fell apart on our exit. That’s another post entirely.

Anyway lets be sure we keep our military personnel in our prayers and hope someday things will get better. It’s a hard lesson and a hard road to recovery from such an act. It will never be forgotten by me and I’m sure anyone that was alive at the time will not forget. Here and abroad.

God bless America and our people.

The pandemic again.

Well I posted things about this prior but we are still fighting this everyday.

I first want to give thanks to all the people in hospital and other healthcare workers dealing with this. You are all amazing to be able to work with this. I don’t think I could. Well we do what we need to do right so maybe I would surprise myself. But it would be a horrifying experience. THANK YOU.

I hear more people are getting vaccinated. This is a good thing. Better late than never. More still need to put down their ridiculous reasons not to, and go get vaccinated. Some had said the FDA didn’t OK it so we’re not going to get it. Well that excuse is no longer valid. Got get vaccinated.

Help yourself, your families, your neighbors, and your country. Go get vaccinated.

I want this over and I’m sure you do too. Let’s beat this thing once and for all!
