Just some Pictures

 I am going  to try and post a few pictures every day. 

This is a photo of the local airport. It is a grass runway and as far as I know it is only ultra lights that take off from it. 

It might be hard to tell but in the distance you see the haze that has been around here since the big fires out west. We have been seeing this most morning for a few weeks now.

Older movies

I am going to start doing some reviews of older Scifi movies I have been watching. The first up is going to be Empire of the Ants.

Empire of the Ants was filmed in 1977. It actually had a few big names for stars but over all I would say this movie really sucks. It starts with several scenes where you see ants and they kind explain some of the things that happen in the movie. How do we get giant ants? Someone is seen dumping some kind of toxic waste and some of it makes it to the shore where this is going on.

The special effects are terrible even for a 1977 movie. Most everything seems to be done by people who have no idea what you ave to do to make a good movie.

My goodbye to my best friend

Born Jan 2006 Died June 26th 2016

I got this dog when it was 8-10 weeks old. I called him Bacon because the way his color was kind of reminded me of bacon. It took me 4 or 5 months to train him to not go to the bathroom in the apartment. I don't know how many times I got up in the morning with a gift from him somewhere in the apartment. I know sometimes I wanted to just throw him out and never let him back in. Once he was trained it was so much nicer.

He was always there for me in the morning and when I came home from work. He was always excited to see me and I like to feel it was because he cared about me. I know I became more attached to him then I have ever been with any other pet I have had. I would say he was spoiled because I never left him alone for more then 12 hours other then 2 times. If I was going on a trip somewhere it had to be a short trip or I had to bring him with me.

Today at about 6:30 pm Bacon passed away. I knew that he was in trouble but I wanted to believe he would be ok until the next morning so I could get him to the vet. I was there trying to comfort him as he breathing got labored and I knew I had failed him in the end. I want to say a final goodbye to him and hope that this will be enough for all the joy he has given me in his 10 years as my best friend. I know that there is more that I can say but I can't find the words.

I stopped buying cigs

I was either 12 or 13 when I first started tobacco products. I began with Skoal and for the next 5 or 6 years went with Skoal, Happy Days or Copenhagen. I never had a hard time getting the stuff but this was well before there was an age requirement to buy it.

I started this post when I decided to stop buying cigarettes but never posted it. I had been using one form or another for over 35 years when I said I would stop buying them. I have actually went for over 29 months since I have stopped smoking. I am not sure how I did it but now am mainly addicted to chewing gum. The gum must cost me all of 2 or 3 dollars a week.

I am thinking about posting on several different topics. I'm not really worried about anyone seeing these post and I will mostly be doing post based on my gut feelings. There will be times that I will have no evidence for what I post. When I do this I will be doing it just to get stuff off my chest.
