THE
GEEZER and ALCOHOL
I guess I was about seven or eight when I had my first tast of alcohol . I must of liked it , because I didn't spit it out. I didn't drink it to often only when my adults were having a party or friends over for a visit. I drank either whiskey - scotch or Irish Whiskey, or Bourbon or beer. In my teen years it was mostly beer , In high school , you know. be one of the boys . Sometimes at a party , I'd get tied up with some whiskey and then forget my name. In the Army I did both , mostly over sea's in Germany .. Got all messed up with German whiskey and beer, which I did to gether all to often. The fourteen day boat ride back to America dried me out .
When I got out of the Army , I didn't seem to drink that much , any way not to the point where I was drunk . At least not fallen down drunk. After I got married it was a beer with my dinner or when I was with some friends, but not to much. I still drank whiskey now and then , just enough to keep in touch. since I have been married , I have only been drunk real bad to where I was sick and out of controll of my self. The bad headache after the last one held me back from getting that way again.

As time passed and I aged , I have become allergic first to whiskey which I like to sip on when I would come home from work . Just one in a glass with an ice cube with enough whiskey to cover the ice cube. first the scotch turned aganist me , then the Irish whiskey , then the bourbon , then the beer. I would get a bad headache before I finished half of the whiskey , and the same with the beer. So I thought if I can't enjoy it why drink any of it .. And to tell the truth , I do miss not having a shot of whiskey over ice or one in a cup of coffee and a cold beer with a pizza.

Some asked me once if I abused alcohol . I thought about that for a while and here is what I came up with.

I kept my whiskey in a bottle in a velvet bag. sometimes in a case with two glasses. I always did my best to keep it cool . I never gulp it , I only sipped it, and drank it slowly , to savor its flavor. I always protected my bottle from harm. and only let people who enjoyed drinking whiskey to share what I had .
And what did whiskey do for me.
It gave me a headache more often than not. and an upset stomach , made me woozy , blurred my vision , made me walk funny , and talk funny, made the bed spin around , and in the morning made my body shaky. and nothing would taste right. Then later on in life turned aganist me by making me allergic to it.

AND you ask me if I abused alcohol. I loved alcohol , but I was the one that was abused. I'm the victum here .

The GEEZER .

Summer bugs

I was thinking the other day about the bugs that we have during the summer. Some fly around and bite or sting you , while others crawl up your leg and do the same. Some times the bite or sting is poisonous to us ..Now our Goverments , of Federal ,state and city spray for these critters if there not on the endangered list. When you call the Federal E.P.A. to see if these poisonous sprays are alright for the Humans around you get a yes , from the High School drop out with a G E D , working as a G 2 in the agency.
The question and answer session might sound like this.
Mr. G2. did you investigate the effect of the spray's on people.?
" Yeah Sir , I call's the local poisonous spray man, and he's told me that he sprayed his kid last week and his kid is still alive. So's it ok to spray's the bug poison."
" Mr G2 , it say's here on the bottle from the manufacture that the poison will effect the nervous system of bugs and animals and humans , and this other say's it will attack the liver and other internal organs of the human body , not to spray near humans or any live stock , or near ponds or creeks , may kill fish."
"Mr. I'm the G2 , I's the Goverment , we knows whats good for the peoples. Any mo questions like dat an I have the I.R.S . investigates you."

A few years ago New York City and the counties out side of N.Y.C sprayed for the mosquito that carried the West Nile Virus. The Government agency's said that it was not harmful to pets or humans. But bring all your pets inside and their toys , bring your children inside and their toys and to bring in all of your lawn funiture and to cover up your car. If it wasn't harmful why did the people have to stay inside. pets and all. It was also said that it was not harmful to fish , or to shell fish.
That was a lie . the next year the fishing industry in and around New York City and Long Island went under. The poison spray's had polluted the sourrounding waters of Long Island Sound and the harbors of New York City because of the run off from rains , which carried the poison to the coastal waters.

California had done the same thing , and killed off the bees that the farmers needed to pollinate their crops. The farmers had to import bees from other states for the pollination of their crops. I understand as of now the State of Deleware is going through the same thing. Thanks to Government. Da knows was good fur us , da's de gov't. aint day .

If the lable on the poison can say's Neurotoxin or hemotoxin stay away from it , that poison can be absorbed into the body through the skin. And it will do what it is supposed to do, maybe not today or tomorrow , but some time down the line .

The GEEZER has spoken

IMMIGRATION AND THE GEEZER

I'm third generation Irish in this country, my Grandfather came from Irland ,county cork , in 1874. My Grandmother about the same time. Thats on my mother's side. On my father's side I'm the ninth generation , German, in this country. After nine generations on his side , no telling what is mixed in my blood line. They didn't come here with their hand out looking for a free ride. In my growing up , I have lived in many neighbor hoods where my neighbors came from different countries and spoke other languages other than English. I have had many friends whose parents came from different countries. They brought with them skills and knowledge , and asked for nothing. They did not have their hand out looking for a free ride. They learned English , but kept their native tongue for their family and friends.

Now we have the latin's sneaking in to our country, they bring with them nothing ,but the idea of getting something for free. They refuse to learn English, they refuse to have medical insurance, they refuse to get a drivers license , or drive a car that is registered , or have insurance on the car that they drive, they refuse to pay taxes , They want everything done for them in their language, They collect welfare and have their babies for free, and they send their money that they made here back to mexico. And the American people are paying for these sneak in's. They are sucking us dry. They are now protesting our laws and waving their countries flag as they march down the street in protest. What Would Happen If We Did That In heir Country. Give you Three guess's .

I think these people should be rounded up and sent back to mexico at their expense, or bill the mexican gov't for the cost, it's their gov't that is telling them how to get here and what to do once they do get here. We are called bad people because some of us want to protect our borders from ILLEGALS. ISN'T THAT JUST TOO BAD. If I had my way , and many AMEROCANS agree with me , The first time they are caught sneaking into this country, take them back, and bill the mexican gov;t for our time and cost . The second time they are caught sneaking into our country, six months on a chain gang, fixing our roads and taking care of our parks. then ship them back and bill the mexican gov't for our cost. The third time they are caught sneaking into our country, SHOOT THEM. may be then they will learn that you have to come into this country in a legal manner. That may also slow down the drug trade. The Farmers and Ranchers that are along the border are afraid for their lives and that of their families ,because of these sneak in's . The guides that bring these people in have told the American Farmers and Ranchers , that if they interfere with their movements across their land , they will be shot ,as will their families, and their animals , there homes set on fire. and their crops destroyed.

I say put our military along the border and build a fence , and if any one should cross it , shoot to kill. show no pity.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ITS OUR COUNTRY.

Every now and then the subject of people , Americans , that have to leave this country for better health care. And they are treated better and come back to this country better , health wise then when they left. Why is this . Why does the Health dept. prevent these procedures that are life saving? Who controlls this , and WHY. Can any one give me an answer.

SLEEP, SLEEP, MY SWEET

Sleep ,sleep, my sweet and you will be mine when you wake.
While we sleep in our complacency and the distractions of war , fire ,and flood, hold our attention. The underlying agencies of Government are at work. To wit. There is a bill that is being passed or has been and already approved by a majority of states . It is called "THE NATIONAL REGISTRATION OF ALL FARM ANIMALS". It states that any and all farm animals MUST BE REGISTERED. and when that animal is taken off the farm , for either a live stock show, a FFA project that some of our children are in , taken to market for slaughter, a rodeo , trail ride, or for what ever reason Government forms will have to be made out on each animal detailing that animal , ie: age , place of birth, destination , rason for leaving, etc,etc,. and which animal is it . They all look alike ,you know. The paper work for this would be over whelming for any company let alone for a farmer and worse for a cattle farmer who have herds of hundreds , and some with thousands of cattle. The cost of doing the paper work would put the small farmer out of business, and if that didn't the penalities of not filing the paper work or a mistake , would impose costly financial penalities on him . Thus forcing the farmer to find other means of earning a living. So what you say.. Well here's your so what. your cost of a good steak and a big Mac. just doubled , if not tripled , if your lucky to find one.
Control the food and you control the masses.
Call your congressman and your senators to have this bill stopped. It's your stomach.

And here is something else for you to worry about.
The taking away of private property by a Government agency and GIVEN TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE , for their use . For example : A large business wants your property so it can build a football stadium. You and your neighbors turn down their financial offers . The business turns to the local Government , the local Gov't condems your property, you get next to nothing , if anything at all. It's then sold to the big business, so they can build their stadium. It has happened. In Arizona , a mining co . is having the Gov't condem land so they can mine the copper thats underneath. Copper is selling at an all time high right now. Think of the people who have worked hard for that land , only to have it taken away from them for less than what they paid for it. Just think that if you had a house built on the land that you bought and paid for , your dream house. And the Government comes along and condems it , and gives the land to a big corporation for a parking lot. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL.

With each passing day , small obscure Gov't agencies are eating away at our feedoms.

Wake up America. We may have passed by 1984 , but it is catching up to us.

NEW ORLEANS #2

Onec again the fearles leader of New Orleans has gotten himself into hot water. a few weeks ago he complained about the Mexicans coming in a taking jobs away from the Black Americans . these jobs were clean up the damage of homes and start to rebuild . of course these jobs were dangerous to health but these people were willing to take that chance. The Black Americans didn't even bother to come back and look for a job Why work when you have free room and board. Mr. Mayor , they didn't have or want a job before when they had a place to live and a bottle of wine. Why should they now. The Gov't taking care of them as before.

Now he wants a chocolate city, mean while the Mexicans who are rebuilding the city are moving in . and before this he has been caught with his hands in the cookie jar. he and the chief of police both of whom are African Americans, have been claiming and getting funding from the Federal Government mony for PHANTOM police officers. According to the liberal press , about 700 of them. The Good Mayor said that the money was being used for electronics to help control crime. I don't think that has help to much since they are the highest city in the UNITED STATES in crime. Let's see if you take the salary of a police officer say 20,000.00 per year and times it by 700 Thats an awful lot of computers and camera's . NO. Me thinks that some of this money , alright most of this money was falling into some political pockets like the Mayor , and the Poilce Chief. I havent heard the liberal democratic press do any yelling about this . I wonder why. Maybe its their boy and they are getting some good donations from this. And they are bringing Tom Delay up on charges of supposed money laundrying . Doesnt it make you wonder?? since it was only mentioned once that I know of on all of the News stations. I can see why he wants his people back , they cause the crime and he can justify the money, Can you see it now a Manikin on every street corner dressed as a police man. complete with fake gun . Maybe he should get some fake bad guy's too. just to keep the A C L U happy and just maybe the police chief would like the mayor to keep his mouth shut. They had a good thing going until Katrina came along , its showing where a lot of federal money is not going. is it not?

There should be an investigation into this I think . Who could lead this investigation, Joe Biden nah , Ten Kennedy nah , he has blood on his hands , Bill Clinton , maybe , he knows about bribes and graft and the meaning of is ,so does his wife. Jesse Jackson , he has a child out of wed lock , his secretary I think How about Al Sharpten I think thats how you spell his name , he and his buddy put FOUR POLICE OFFICERS in prison on false charges. How about the lawyer who brought Tom Delay up on charges . thats a thought. It can't be a Repubican , the roar will go up that they are out for vengence or something along that line.

Its a dilemma isn't it.

EARTHLY SPIRITUAL GOODBYE'S

There are times when I have a reafirmation in my beliefs that there is a God and that there are Guardian Angels that watch over us and guide us. A few years ago , a man , my wife and I would come in contact with , now and then at the Rail Road Dept. of Texas Utilities Generating power plat. I know we know him because of our job as contrators for Texas Utilities. But I'm sorry to say I can't recall his name, but then , our contacts with are short , where only the pleasantries of the day are exchanged. From what I have heard of this man , he was a good man , God fearing , easy going ,dependable ,respected and loved by his family. He drove a bull dozer for the Company, moving dirt around and doing what a bull dozer does. On his last extended seven day's off , he visited with each and every member of his family . With each visit , he made it one of bonding and love with each family member. Two day's after he returned to work , he was running his bulldozer , it was late at night. For some reason unkown he got to close to a deep pit full of water. His dozer got to close to the edge , he and his machine slipped over the edge. He died that night . His sudden death was a shock to his family and friends. He left them , his family , they knowing that he loved all of them . For some strange reason he said his good bye to all the week before. He didn't know the week before that he was going to die, but his Guardian Angel did. I beleive as other's do , that his Angel led him to say good bye to his loving family.

Another incident I know of personally . A young man who lived in my area , here in the country . We went to the same church, he was a good friend of my son , they both went to school together for 12 years and graudated together. Darrell Donaldson is his name. Darrell was one of my son's friend's that he buddied with, They hunted , camped and partied to gether, along with their other close friends. One of Darrell's loves was hunting and the great out doors. I remember one incident , my son and I were talking about. Darrell was on his way to school one morning , driving his landcruiser , beside him was his trusty forty four mag. single action pistole. Darrell happen to see a wolf in a pasture that he was driving by. He stopped his landcruiser rolled down the window and took a shot at the wolf. He missed. Darrell laid his pistole down on the on the seat beside him and it went off . It put a hole in the vehicles heater , the bullet then glanced off of the motor and out through the right fender blowing out the headlight on its exit. The lesson he learned from this , was not to cock the hammer until your ready to shoot. Another incedent my son told me , Darrell was driving along drinking a soda from a glass bottle. When he got done he threw it out the window , only trouble was the window was closed at the time. The window broke. My son recalled the time that he and Darrell went hunting in the White oak bottom, for wild hogs. It was New Years Eve. 1983 , The slept in the back of my sons El Camino , and in the morning over a breadfast by a camp fire , watched a beautiful sunrise.

Darrell had move on since that time and every now and then he would stop and visit with my wife and I . He had married , had two sons and a doughter. lived in Brady Texas at the time and was working for an Oil Company. Because of his love for the outdoors and hunting ,Darrell would take underprivilege children camping and teach them about nature. His love for the out doors helped him form , with another man a hunting guide service in Alaska. This worked out fine for Darrell . His Boss at the Oil Company found out about this service and had Darrell and his partner entertain customers of the Oil Company , to a guided hunt in Alaska. That was ten years ago. Five years ago Darrell's father died. and month after that his partner died in a plane crash in Alaska. On Dec 23rd of 2005 Darrell stopped by to see my wife and I. She wasn't home at the time , shopping. We had a long visit. in which I found out he had sold his guide service, and in the past few monts had to have brain surgery. He had a tumor on his brian. He said he was recuperating right now . He spoke of the many good times he has had at our home and how much he love us and his friend , my son Chris. And that he considered My wife and I his , second mother and father an honor to be sure. I asked Darrell what he was doing up here in this neck of the woods and his response was to see all of his family and tell them how much he loved them and how much they ment to his life. When he left he gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, and told me to tell Chris , his friend to call him or he would give him a good ole country boy whuppin. He left driving toward Mt. Vernon , waving goodbye , on his way to see another family member.

Darrell died on New Years Eve , the 31 of December. He is forever 43.

When I told my son about Darrell's death on New Years Eve , my son said that on that day he had watched a sunrise , and remembered the sunrise that he and Darrell watched by a campfire in White Oak buttom.

I beleive that Darrell's Guardian Angel led him to the one's that he loved , so he could say how much he loved them and unknown to him say goodbye. AN EARTHY AND SPIRITUAL GOODBYE.

God bless you Darrell , Where ever you are.

Your second mother and father

Bryan and Wally and your friend Chris.
