Nothing Was Broken-So We Fixed It

I heard a police dispatcher report a motor vehicle collision. 

What if…

One or more of the vehicles are not motorized?

“An unexpected collaboration between a bicycle and two tons of poor decisions.”

“A surprise physics lesson nobody asked for.”

“A gentle reminder that wheels without engines shouldn’t argue with wheels with engines.”

If I started a sports team…

My team would be named the “Turbo Panthers”, they would be a soccer team. The team colors would be red and black.

They would super tough to beat, I would spend the big bucks to bring the top talented players!!

GO TURBO PANTHERS !!!!

Share what you know about the day you were born.

On December 24, 1962, there are no specific global events that stand out as historically monumental for that exact day, but there are a few notable occurrences surrounding that time in history:

Space Race: The U.S. and Soviet Union were heavily involved in the Space Race. In December 1962, the U.S. had launched several space missions, including the Mariner 2 spacecraft, which had successfully flown by Venus in December, becoming the first successful interplanetary mission.

The Cuban Missile Crisis Aftermath: By December 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis, which had occurred in October 1962, was still fresh in the minds of the global community. Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union had cooled, but the political and military ramifications continued to unfold throughout the year. In the weeks following the crisis, the Soviet Union began removing its nuclear missiles from Cuba, and the U.S. pledged not to invade Cuba, marking a temporary easing of Cold War tensions.

Cold War Context: The Cold War was a defining aspect of global politics, with the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaging in proxy wars, nuclear arms races, and diplomatic maneuvering. Although December 24, 1962, itself might not have marked a groundbreaking event, it was still a period marked by significant geopolitical and military developments.

Pop Culture: 1962 was also the year that several significant cultural and entertainment events took place. For example, the movie “Lawrence of Arabia” had premiered earlier that year and had achieved immense critical and commercial success. Music was also undergoing a transformation with the rise of the Beatles in the UK, though they were not yet internationally famous in late December 1962.

What makes me laugh

I will laugh at anything and everything, I have zero boundaries. I will start when no one else is laughing. I love watching people just being who they are. Dogs a favorite, like when they stare into your eyes like they are reading your soul. Seinfeld is a major source of my laughter. I will laugh at just about anything, HA!

#25 F%&*

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

I would eliminate the “F” word. It’s a really bad word to say or use. I think saying it is so disrespectful. I suppose that’s the whole idea behind the usage. I hear people say it and think to myself that’s the same mouth they say “I Love God”. I don’t think people think before they speak and they don’t realize you can’t undo the things you say. I’m sure there are people that just don’t care.

#24 Something On My “To-Do-List” That Never Gets Done

It’s nothing hard and I want to do it, just haven’t. We have the materials to it but yeah….

I need to do some touch up painting around the house, nothing major and i like to do it. I just have to go to the garage and get the small cans , shake them up a bit , grab my brushes and and get it done.

Now I’ll probably get it done this weekend, I’m hyped up now!!!

#23 “Robert”

The name Robert is of Germanic origin and means “bright fame” or “famous one.” It has been a popular name throughout history.

The name Robert often signifies strength, leadership, and renown. Its historical usage by royalty and prominent figures has contributed to its association with qualities like honor and distinction.

So, etymologically, Robert can be interpreted as “bright fame” or “glorious in renown.”

#22 Master Jack

Obviously I would love to be “The Master of All Trades”.

What else is there to do, I’d have all the answers. Seems like a lucrative business model. Sounds like God, but of course God is “The Master”. All the cash I make as the “MAT”, would of course be used wisely… supporting as many charities around the world as possible.

This dream job would bring me the most possible satisfaction and serenity that could possibly be found on earth today.

#21 Puppy Dogs

I am a dog lover!! 

I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I very much enjoy small dogs. Big dogs are cool, I owned a big dog when I was growing up but he was an outside dog and was only permitted to come inside during inclement weather,

For the past 20 years I have had an inside dog and I don’t think I’ll ever own a large dog again, maintaining a small dog is much easier than a large dog. Grooming, feeding, and cleaning up after are less time consuming.

I’m not comfortable with Pit Bulls of Doberman Pinchers, they seem to be on a whole different level.

Here is a picture of my dogs

Caramella (Caramel) 9 Months old

Canella (Cinnamon) 8 Years old

#20 Today 1/4/2024

I read the story behind the dove with the olive branch in its mouth. So Noah had all those animals on the ark, after the rains had subsided Noah opened his window and looked out to see if the ground was dry from all the flood. Noah sent a dove out but the dove had no where to land and flew back to the ark. So after a while Noah sent the dove out again to check if the ground was dry and the dove came back with an olive branch signifying the earth was dry and God said to Noah to release all the animals from the ark. Genisis 8:1

#19 What colleges have you attended?

I have attended El Paso Community College and Austin Community College. I tried and came to the conclusion that college isn’t for me. I just could not focus and I had a hard time asking for help. 

I’m happy I made an effort to go and try it, I believe it was the right thing to do.

#18 Addictive Nature

Around age 35 I came to the conclusion that alcohol and drugs were ruining my life, several years later I realized spending money was out of hand and now I’ve finally accepted that loading up on sweets is also an addiction. 

So my biggest challenges is controlling my addictive behaviors. With God’s help I’ll be fine.

#17 Simpler Times

There several things that cause me to remember the good old days. Not worrying about where the next meal was coming from, paying no mind to the cost of things, clothes, fuel. Working to have spending cash not bill money. As a kid we never worried about Christmas gifts, because we were receiving not buying.

There are somethings from the past that cause me to be glad the good old days are gone. Lots of the hard knocks from my younger life have made me the man I am and I am grateful for that.   

#16 Family

This is cut and dry my family has a positive impact on me, more than any other humans on earth. I’ve done an unmeasurable amount of bad things in my 35 years of marriage and my wife is still my wife, praise the Lord. My children have encouraged me, maybe even though they thought that I was setting myself up for failure. For instance, when I became a school bus driver my son said, “dad the kids are going to eat you alive”. They did, but 17 years later I’m still driving a school bus. My teammates at work are pretty positive to me. They have had my back every step of the way since joining them as a bus driver instructor. You find positive people in your life do what you hang to hang onto them.  

Politics

Short answer…Not a Republican or a Democrat, not that there’s anything wrong with being one. I am a team player and I don’t what to be a part of these teams. They both have good parts and bad parts, but I’m just going live my life and enjoy my self and not get involved in politics, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Sweet Spot

I like the windows in this office, so I could day dream them write or read. I would like to have this room upstairs so I won’t hear people walking above my room. I would like the window to face the west so the morning sun would not be in my eyes but still have great lighting from outside. I would love to have many books for sharing with others to read if they like. I have am blessed wonderful room to read and write right now , but dreaming I believe is healthy.

        Have a wonderful day!!!!  

What is your all time favorite automobile?

When I have enough money to spend $500,000 on a car of my choice I’m buying this car.

This Guy Is Coming To The Longhorns

S: ANDREW MUKUBA, CLEMSON (93 RATING)

(Photo: Getty)

It’s slightly head-scratching that Andrew Mukuba only finished with one interception in three seasons as Clemson’s starter at either safety or nickel, but we don’t think he’s lacking in ball skills. Even if that is a sub-average part of Mukuba’s tool box, he makes up for it with “soccer feet,” which means he has amazing change-of-direction skills. Mukuba has been coached well and isn’t afraid to mix it up. Mukuba is going to be a coveted guy in the transfer portal cycle because safeties of his pedigree and talent are at a premium. And here’s guessing he doubles his career interception total in 2024. 

#15 WWE

This about my love for The WWE. To begin after many years of debunking wrestling as fake and a waste of my time. A couple of years ago I found myself tripping on the outfits and the coming out to ring theme music and the crowd going haywire. My family saw me and reminded me of how I hated wrestling. People can change…now every Monday and Friday night I’m booing the wrestlers I can’t stand and cheering on my favorites. Some of the punches are theatrical, but jumping off the top rope and body slamming is totally real. WWE is good fun entertainment, check it out!

#14 War Really Sucks!

War really sucks! Sometime the bad guys do stupid things that cause a war to breakout. That may justify a war to get those people, I get that. But it really sucks for those caught in the middle. I believe that the guys in Gaza (Hamas), are the bad guys that started this war at this time. I say at this time, because Israel has been at war with people in the Middle East since they crossed into Canaan. I believe that the war going on right now can not be won, Hamas doesn’t trust Israel and vice versa. I really for sad for the citizens of Gaza, I’m not choosing sides but I believe war sucks.

#13 Busy Dude

Santa Clause is a nosy dude. He knows when you’re awake, he sees you when you sleep. He knows if you been bad or good, so yea I would say you better watch out, for Santa.

#12 Where Would You Rather Swim?

Would you rather swim in the ocean, the river, or a swimming pool, or none of the above?

#11 Yard Work or House Work

I would rather do the house as opposed to the yard. They are both challenging, dust and sweat are all apart of cleaning. The yard is more labor intensive raking and digging, while the inside consist of being careful not to break anything.

#10 Coffee Or Tea

Do you prefer coffee or tea?

#9 Large Dog or Small Dog?

I like both large and small dogs, but I own small dogs because the are low maintenance and easy on the house and the furniture.

#8 Free Getaway…

What if today was your lucky day and you received a expense paid vacation for two people for two weeks. Who goes and where would you go?

#7 What Was Your First Car?

The first car I owned was a 1966 Rambler Classic like the one pictured below.

#6 Never Thought I’d Do This

Have you ever said there is no way I’ll do that! And you find yourself actually doing it and enjoying it

#5 Big City or Small Town

I like big city’s because they have lots of things to see, touring bands, festivals, sporting events, shopping, etc. However (of course), with the big city lights come big city drama: crime, traffic, higher taxes, unfriendly people, etc. Small towns are ok with me as long as I can get to the big city in less than 30 mins.
