Good Morning
The grass is greening up, and already the trees are budding out. It's early morning here and it's still dark outside, looks like the moon is full. The wispy clouds are slowly drifting across the starry sky, giving it almost a Halloween appearance!

Last night I went to bed early as I was so tired out. I think I know what that's about and I can take care of that easily enough.

In about 2 weeks I'll have my next eye exam and also the dentist will start work on a lower partial for me. I'm very excited and happy about getting these teeth! The eye exam will determine if "I'm good to go" , hehehee just like that commercial, or if the left eye now needs to have that lens replaced.

Our home town has lost a couple of young men just this spring. One died due to horse play, him and his buddies were playfully pushing each other around and one guy hit him in the chest and he collapsed and died. Another young man died in a car accident, a middle-aged man was driving the wrong way on the freeway and hit him head-on. It's so wrong to lose our youth, they're our future. We lose a few young people every spring in car accidents, and then a few are lost in the winter to snowmobile tragedies.

I've been thinking about this avian flu thing and wondering how long it will take for it to mutate to humans. I don't know if I can pack in enough supplies between now and then, if it happens, so that I could stay home for 1-6 months. It it does mutate and there's a panedemic, I'd be so vunerable what with being auto-immune because of the RA. I know it wouldn't bother me to be house-bound, just would have to be ready for it.

It's now 6:01 a.m. those are my favorite numbers, that was my number at Morley Bus Company, which was who I worked for out of Forest Lake. That company was sold to National Bus Company, I believe they're out of Canada, and then sold to LaidLaw. John Morley was the origianal owner, along with his brother. When I had my MI in 91, us workers were in the process of starting a union.
My friend Ramona and I would go this tavern 2x a month, on payday, and have a drink then supper, then dance. Pretty soon another driver joined us, soon we gathering to complain about conditions at the company and we decided to form a union.
Eventually word leaked back to the supervisor, who was the boss's top helper, and he was appalled at how many were "out for a good time" on Friday nights......
After I got sick, the guys did get a union in place, and the owner sold the company. I'm glad now that my friend Ramona and I started the ball rolling as it provided the needed kick to get worker's rights established.
