Put it There

2009-05-17T17:00:00.000-07:00

Put it there if it weigh a ton
is what a father said to his young son
I don't care if it weighs a tin
as long as you and I are here, put it there
long as you and I are here, put it there

Hey there Dad what would you say to a not so young son?

I'll be listening...

Hey Rebecca, Adam and Jeremy... Put it there, I don't care if it weighs a ton.

Adam's Saga

If you start out like this...

You might end up with this...

Then you will be forced to dress like this...

So I imagine there is a moral to this story, but I can't think of it right now. The truth that jumps out at right now is that it is foolish to harass your ride (and Father) when he can get to a computer before you get out of surgery!

Love ya Adam

The love that binds
A Florida man tied himself up and lied to police as part of an elaborate way to woo his girlfriend back.
Investigators found Derick Culberson sitting next to his truck in Palm City with his ankles and wrists bound with plastic “zip ties.” Culberson said he’d been robbed by two gunmen and gave descriptions of the suspects and their car. Police started a search but soon found inconsistencies in his story. They also found in Culberson’s truck zip ties of the same type used to bind him.
Culberson eventually admitted to tying his own hands and feet, and inventing the entire tale to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him, police said.
Culberson apologized for wasting law enforcement officers’ time. He was arrested on charges of filing a false report.

You know times are hard when ...
A 52-year-old Ohio woman who took a job as an exotic dancer to help make ends meet was attacked on her first day by a jealous co-worker.
Police said the victim needed extra money because of the hard economic times. As she walked into the dressing room, the other girls started yelling, “We don’t need any more dancers around here,” police told the Akron Beacon Journal. One of them attacked her with a high-heeled shoe, striking her in the face.

Hot pants
A bank robber in Houston was hospitalized after the loot he stole exploded in his pants.
The teller gave the robber some cash bundles with exploding dye packs in them. The suspect stuffed the money down his pants and ran out of the bank.
Police arrested Daniel Duran a short time later, after the dye packs exploded while still down his pants. Duran was taken to a hospital with second-degree burns to his genital area.

Thank you ma’am, may I have another?
Police in Lincoln, Neb., are investigating a series of hazing incidents, including one accusation that a stripper used a sex toy to abuse a fraternity pledge.
The University of Nebraska Sigma Chi fraternity pledge went to police after he said the hazing had taken a toll on his well-being, according to documents unsealed this week.
Pledges were forced to drink Tabasco sauce and vodka until they vomited, the pledge said. In another instance, he said he was handcuffed, blindfolded and assaulted with a sex toy by a stripper even though he told the stripper to stop.

Sticky notes
There’s got to be a better way to track thousands of stolen documents.
A former state tax worker who stole the identity of thousands of New Yorkers and racked up more than $200,000 in bogus credit card charges kept his records on thousands of Post-it notes around his home.
Prosecutors said Walter Healey, 63, opened up accounts using the Social Security numbers of his victims, including a 4-year-old boy.
A search of Healey’s home found copies of more than 700 tax forms, more than 1,000 Social Security cards and 2,000 Post-it notes with Social Security numbers on them. The notes had comments such as “good prospect” or “had money” written on them.

The Greening of the Old Man...

2009-04-22T09:28:00.000-07:00

Today is Earth Day 2009.

I never been known as the "Green Guy", in fact I've been a little antagonistic. A year ago I joined Adam in cleaning up and planting a portion of the shoreline along the Duwamish River. It was miserable weather, wet and cool. I helped remove weeds and sticker bushes. It reminded me why I was renting and not pulling weeds and mowing grass (tired and lazy).

During the last 12 months I've confered to my son's regular encouragement (nag) to act green. So here are a few of the changes I've enacted this past year.

1. Change my car garbage bag from paper to cloth.

2. Add a recycle bag in my car, also cloth.

3. Moved to Shoreline where they provide cans to separate garbage and recycle, both Sharon and me have gotten in the habit of separaating stuff.

4. Made a real mental effort to reduce the number of work trips, and when I had
to go, and to combine as many chores/meetings into one trip with a thoughtful
plan to reduce the number of miles traveled.

5. With the destruction of my Camry by a Dump Truck, I puchased (with God's provision) a brand new 2008 Chrylser PT Cruiser. It has a standard transmission so I'm able to coast and save gas. Although I really wanted a SUV I didn't (mostly because I'm getting to be really cheap). I don't drive it in a fashion that would burn extra gas like the guy below. Although it looks like fun!

I'm sure there have been other areas where I have made little changes. Probably the biggest change has been my thinking. I now consider my impact where I rarely did in the past.

Although it may be a slow road (too slow for some) I confident that I will continue down this path. Progress, not perfection...

Deja vue: Morgenthau was right.

2009-03-08T11:11:00.000-07:00

"On May 9, 1939, Henry Morgenthau Jr., the Secretary of the Treasury and one of the most powerful men in America, had a startling confession to make. He made this remarkable admission before the influential Democrats who ran the House Ways and Means Committee.

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I'm wrong...somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises...I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started...And an enormous debt to boot!" Taken from "New Deal or Raw Deal" Burton W. Folsom Jr. Pages 1&2.

"The New Deal, especially in the arena of finance, was rarely the result of consistent planning. As Roosevelt conceded,"We seldom know, six weeks in advance, what we are going to do."" Taken from "New Deal or Raw Deal" Burton W. Folsom Jr. Page 103

What is the old adage "those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it". Well it seems that the leadership of our country hasn't learned our history. My fear is that they will make some of the same mistakes but on a much grander scale and therefor cause much greater damage.

God help us if it takes a World War III to bring us out of this mess.

Coward

2009-02-27T23:38:00.000-08:00

"First, we're a nation of whiners; now, we're a nation of cowards. He went on to say "Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial."

The coward comment comes from none other than President Obama's newly minted attorney general, Eric Holder.

The remarks were part of a speech Holder delivered for Black History Month. Yet, even in that context, the words came across as arrogant, condescending and not at all becoming a statesman. (Quoted from By Tara Wall CNN Contributor)

A quick look at Mr. Holder's entry on Wikipedia shows that the Attorney General and I have at least (1) thing in common. We both have (3) children. I must say I found his comment insulting, to say the least. His marital status indicates he's married so I'm assuming never been a single father (doesn't indicate any divorce). How dare he call me a coward? I raised (3) kids largely on my own for about 8 years. Not only did I do that I didn't teach them to hate. I did not teach them to speak out in insulting and cruel ways.

I understand that Mr. Holder is an important man but why must I be put down for one of the few things I feel I was doing God's work? I would never speak publicly about him in an insulting or ignorant way why me he?

President Obama,

I find the comments for your Attorney General as offensive as a racial slur. Please be the leader you have promised you will be and either take this man to the "wood shed" or "show him the door". You promised a new way of governing, I trust that doesn't mean that because I'm a middle aged white guy that I'm the new punching bag.

Looking for hope,

Randy

The Chicago Tea Party

2009-02-23T15:54:00.000-08:00

I'm bummed, I can't make it to Chicago for the Party. Happening to soon for me to get there.

Santelli's criticism of the mortgage bailout plan is dead on: The plan treats borrowers who sacrificed to pay their mortgages on time the same as those who used their equity for a boat and stopped paying their loans. This moral hazard sends a clear message to our children that they can avoid the consequences of their actions. But this is only one reason the plan is bad policy. Others include:

The plan's mortgage cram down provision would only worsen the housing crisis in two ways: First it would increase the risk to lenders and lead to higher interest rates for people trying to buy homes today. Second, the policy would open the door to achieving mortgage reductions for tens of millions of homeowners who can afford their mortgage payments and whose homes are not at risk.

The plan will fail because too few people will qualify and many of those that do will default anyway. The housing bubble was caused in large part by speculators who bought homes planning to flip them for quick profit and other who out-right lied on their loan applications. The mortgage bailout will do nothing to stop these foreclosures. Furthermore, the re-default rates for people that have already participated in mortgage modifications show that as many as 50% of them go on to default again.

The plan risks another $275 billion in taxpayer funds. The Obama Administration claims their plan will only cost $75 billion, but that is only true if it works out perfectly. If the plan fails to stem the inevitable correction in housing prices taxpayers will lose a full $275 billion.

Closing his interview with National Review, Santelli also connected the mortgage bailout to the Obama Administration's stimulus plan:

Here's a little commentary from The Heritage Foundation.

At the end of the day, it’s simple. A lot of the president’s advisers are saying that there’s a multiplier effect to the government money, and it’s over one. Now if that’s true, then the government should spend non-stop for the rest of our lives, because we’ll get a positive return. And it makes no sense. ... I guess in the end, I believe in the founding fathers, and I believe that in America... the pursuit of happiness and to work hard and keep the fruits of your labor is something I believe in. And I’m not saying we should forget people who need help. But at the end of the day, Americans are strong and they’re charitable. I think what they have a problem with is that it’s force-fed via the government.

In the words of CSN, won't you all come to Chicaog, we can change the world...

Dear Mr. President

2009-02-16T11:04:00.000-08:00

I’m going to be honest right up front. I didn’t vote for you, but you are my President none the less. Like anyone running for office you made many promises. The one that I’m currently confused over is the promise that your Presidency will be transparent. I see the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 being raced through the Congress at speeds unheard of and I wonder if everything about this bill is out in the open. Then I hear different things that are in the bill being removed when the public is outraged. Ok, I get that the country is in a dangerous economic time. My business is in the construction field and I started to experience the recession within in a month of its inception (Recession starts in December 2007 and I spent the first half of January 2008 with NO work). I want the system fixed but I don’t want it destroyed in the process. Then this bill comes out of conference and is rushed to the floor for a vote less than 24 hours after its text is released to the members of Congress and the public (me). I hear that it has over 1,000 pages and realize that that would take me around 3 weeks to read (I average around 40 books per year) and I’m wondering how this would qualify as transparent. I can’t imagine having 1,000 page plus bill that no one who voted for it had read it. That makes me think that our Congress is acting like lemmings. My Senators and Congress members are responsible to me and my fellow’s here in Washington State to act with their hearts and their minds. They can’t possibly think intelligently about a bill they haven’t read.
Please require them to read and consider this bill closely and thoughtfully. Be the leader who acts different. Be the change we/I want. Please speak the truth about this process and use your position to bring change that comes with thought and reason.

Respectfully

Randy

Cesar Speaks Out

2008-11-01T15:08:00.001-07:00

Cesar has been extremely disturbed with the state of the World Wide Web of late. He is certain that Katie is drunk with power.

She thinks she's the leader but this video shows that she's just a follower.

Finally the truth is EXPOSED !!!

As for her rules... Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!!

See what I have to put up with. Bossy little girl who thinks the axis of the world drops straight down through the top of her big ole head. Insanity propagated and supported by the sick twisted freak I call Dad. Come on Dad you know your the reason for her delusions. Will you ever stop feeding the little wench's fantasy's??? I have little hope for that.

At least Mom loves me.

To all my fans (both of you) thank you for your undying support and continued prayers. This place is a NUT HOUSE!!!

So what was the best question you asked today?

I'd really love to hear a few.

A Small Businessman's Thought's...

2008-10-29T14:04:00.000-07:00

The following was written by a contractor/small businessman that I know. He seems to make some good points for us all to think about. Enjoy.

Just a few thoughts.... hang in there with me for a minute or so....please read.... and yes this should be construed as political or maybe naive.

The number one reason that any size business fails is lack of capital. FACT

The number one reason that keeps new creative ideas & products from hitting the marketplace is lack of capital. FACT

The number one reason that businesses don’t expand and create more jobs is lack of capital. FACT

Wealth is invested in all spectrums of our society. This is invested in start-ups, Stocks & private investments, Venture capital, bonded investments for public works and capital improvements, Research and development, Donations and contributions for medical research. Banks use an equation involving average daily balances for business loans and other credit capacity of all kinds. Credit card companies have wealth that guarantee and complete spontaneous transactions all over the world instantaneously. Without large pools of money, these things would not exist. Life as we know it would not exist. People and groups that have wealth are our friend no our enemy. Jobs do not come from the bottom 1/2 of our social economic system, wealth creates jobs for them. And has the available lending for new ideas, new businesses, and ventures.

The very fabric of free enterprise is having the determination, initiative and drive, to be innovative, and to find access to capital to follow through on great ideas, developing viable solutions to needs, in the form of goods and services.

Capital invested in these ideas creates jobs.

THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT MANUFACTURE OR CREATE WEALTH, IT TAKES IT IN THE FORM OF TAXES.

And yes some taxation and government services are needed and are sound uses of our tax dollars.

Working hard, saving and investing, and taking calculated risks, creates wealth..... Not hand outs.

If Wealth is a mass of money, it does not exist if you break "it" up in to small portions of money. In the act of cutting it up we completely redefine what "it" is, and "it" is no longer wealth, therefore redistributing wealth is impossible. If we take wealth and destroy it by blowing it up into smaller pieces and send it off in small pieces, or we make it go away, it can no longer be what it once was, wealth. And at this time we have not considered the cost of the government agencies and staff that would have to be in place to demolish and handle the distribution of this destroyed wealth in small enough pieces and to give it away and account for it. The act of the distribution in and of itself would be a diminishing event that would change the defined wealth even before the redistribution.

Just like if you had a commercial jet plane that cost $50mil and cut it up into 100,000 pieces and mailed them out to the unfortunate, they would not have a commercial jet, they'd have a little piece of aluminum. So it would be with wealth.

If you took a cow and chopped it up into 100,000 pieces and mailed it out they wouldn't have a cow, they'd have a little piece of meat. So it would be with wealth.

Let's for example "take and redistribute" & $500,000,000,000 to 200 mil people, each person that would say, receive an average check of 2,500 dollars, would that person have wealth? No. Now multiply this times ten for ten years later, would $25,000.00 be wealth? Nope , still not wealth. More than likely they would have a new TV, or dining room table, sofa or whatever, that amount would never be considered wealth.

In that scenario we would have successfully destroyed $ 5 trillion dollars worth of wealth , and potential capital investment pools, over ten years. That would have created countless, literally countless jobs for American families.

So how can anyone say with a straight face that we are redistributing the wealth? The very act is DESTRUCTION OF WEALTH not redistribution of wealth.

Is there a campaign that is very deliberately creating class warfare and wrongfully giving false hope to buy votes?

You can answer that question for yourself.

I personally don't know where I fit in both candidates’ tax plans, and my families economics are changing daily.

I don't have much in the way of formal education, however I think that I'm on to something here and would love to hear any one's rebuttal.

Thoughtfully

Gordy

Here's a little perspective

2008-10-28T15:29:00.000-07:00

David Letterman, on President Bush. David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see.... 'As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.' 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?The Newsweek poll alle ges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?'

A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state.
F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.
I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.
K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and yo ur family against attack or loss.
L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?

Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the sam e president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.

Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They d idn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable' discharge after a few days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bir d cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

David Letterman

I've since learned that my source for this was mistaken and David Letterman didn't write this interesting comment, but I like it and so I'm going leave it up and credited to Dave - he could use the good karma.

Dear Dad...

2008-10-28T08:59:00.001-07:00

It was 5 years ago yesterday that you left us. You are missed. I trust that you are doing much better than when we last talked. I thought I would bring you up to speed on how everyone is doing.

Sharon and I have moved to Shoreline. It's really proving to be a nice location. Sharon has a great job that's a whole 8 blocks from home. We struggle from time to time but we love more. We had Mom over for dinner a couple weeks ago. It was nice. Sharon is getting to spend more time with her daughters and TT. That little one has really grown up a lot. We're very proud of her. Heather is struggling with MS and a burgeoning teenager. That teenage thing is quite the chore. April and Jamie both have gotten married. Both men are good guys. All three girls are becoming wonderful women.

Mom is well, but a little wily. She has been traveling some. Two trips to the east coast with Brian, Mariner's spring break (can you believe that?), and a cruise to Alaska with Auntie Sis. She had a great time. I helped her shop for a new car a few years back. Probably not your favorite, it has 4 doors and is a Toyota. I had to do it. I wanted her to have a good and dependable car. I think she's enjoying it. She put a whole 19,000 on it in the last 3 years. Crazy women! Thanks for taking such great care of her. You would be very impressed with all that she's been able to do on her own.

Rhonda is doing well (still a punk). Randy is taking good care of her when he's not driving her a little nuts. Her family keeps growing up. Jen is married and living in Alaska (crazy cold). Her husband (Jake) is serving our country in Iraq today. All our prayers are with him for safety and victory. The world and the country have gone a little crazy of late. Ryan has been driving your Explorer and I heard last night that he was hit and it was totaled. Mom told me Ryan was really upset about your truck, but we both understand that you wouldn't be to panicked about a truck but glad to know he was okay. He is, other than he's still living at home (my opinion) doing quite well. He's grown up to be a very nice young man. You would be very proud of him. I wish you were her to talk some sense into my little sister about this Obama dude. I'm sure you would have quite a few things to say to her (it would be fun to watch).

Rebecca's married now. She married a Jake too. Crazy cousins. He's a good guy. He's following in some of your footsteps by working and going to school. He's attending Seattle University (where Rebecca's working) where he is working on a degree in engineering. Getting great grades like you did. You would be impressed, I know I am. Rebecca lost 107 pounds last year and has joined me in my new found love of running. She's a this father's joy, like Rose and Rhonda are for you.

Adam is becoming a master brewer. He makes all types of beer. Everyone tells me it taste great. I wouldn't know, to me the stuff stinks. He's been working at KDL Hardware for quite a while and kicking sales butt. His dad is very proud and I'm certain you'd be proud too. I play scrabble with both Rebecca and Adam all day long on the internet. Good fun. You would have really enjoyed playing with them.

Jeremy has settled in Kent and is working as a warehouseman moving tons and tons of sprinkler pipe all day long. He's got such a great work ethic. You would be thrilled with his desire to put in a honest days work. He inspires me. My kids fill me with great love, I hope I gave some of that to you before you left.

We lost Rose last year, but you already know that. Are you still kicking her but at cribbage? I'm sure you are. Have you gotten her to take up golf? Next time you chat with her tell her that I'm still a little angry with her, but that I love and miss her. Also let her know that even with her new heavenly body I can still kick her butt! No problem.

Brain and Summer seem to be doing well. Brian is in Portland, such a shame. Seattle's loss, but maybe someday he will find his way back to the straight and narrow. Summer makes me smile. She's working for Wells Fargo and still won't give bunches of money. How come??? She's taken over MY bedroom and I hope she's lovin' it!!! Mom fixed the garage door opener so she can park in your space. I think that's cool. Mom's really enjoying having her around the house. It's great that we can care for one another. I believe you would agree. I've realized that the older I get the more I understand how you thought. Thanks!

I took Rebecca, Adam, Mom, Rhonda, Adam's friend Joe, Dan and his son Joshua to family reunion this year. I saw everybody. It was a great time. It was a record attendance. 107 if my memory is working. We camped out with every one. Mom and Rhonda went for the day only. I suspect they will spend the night next year. Next year it will be the weekend after my 50th birthday (I'm having a wake) so we can do both and yes I'm still a nut job. We stayed up and had a monster (white man) fire. I stayed sober and keep track of it. It rocked even if it was a little reckless. Oh well.

It's about time for me to get to work. The economy has really changed in the last year, but God continues to provide for me and Sharon. I'm only doing about one new house per month instead of 2 or 3, buts lots of remodels and additions. Last month was huge (biggest in 32 years) but it seems to me that the hay days are a few years out.

We are carrying on without you, but greatly miss your insights, passion and humor. Please know that you are greatly missed.

Write back soon.

Love

Randy
