The canal

Let me tell you about the setting in Yakima Valley. There are canals, big canals and little canals. The big canals, two of which run through the lower valley, are for watering the crops. The little canals run through the city. I enjoy watching you water your gardens, etc. The big canals are upwards of fifteen to twenty feet across and eight to twelve feet deep, with swiftly moving water at five miles an hour. If you are thrown into a canal, there is little hope of getting out alive.

So it's a wise choice not to put yourself in that situation. One of the things we did do. Where's in the fall? The cow will dry up.
So we'd walk along the canal for miles, just searching what we could find. Weirdford, fine stereos.
V c r's tape decks. The people we'll throw in the canal. It'd be like a treasure hunt. In some air, the cow, the water sat in there long enough and that when an early freeze happened in the fall, it froze over for the lengths of half a football field and we go and ice skate with their shoes and try to bust it up. Generally have fun as kids. Yes, this went wrong. Sometimes there's many a story of it going wrong. It may not have a lot of water. But it's freezing water that can be upwards of six feet deep, spanning a football field. Did I almost lose my life? Yes, was I thankful be alive? Yes was I cold yes. Did my friend laugh at me? Yes.
Did my friend save me? Yes, and then start laughing me? Yes, he did. Did I get him back later? Yes,  well, that's all for this post. I will do another pose why expand on the danger. A walk in the canal There's more dangerous, trust me. What else you do being  a Gen X  kid.

Just being a kid..

Just being a kid was so much fun. I remember my friend Allen and I had many adventures. We had a BB gun club.


Yes, did we shoot outside? No, inside in the basement. We set targets four feet away on a metal table. Then we would take shots at army men or whatever and shoot them, being quick to duck under the couch, hoping there were no ricochets. Allen's common phrase, "Oh, my balls," was often heard. It was all fun and games until his mother stepped into the basement and said, "Is that my metal tray?" Then I said to Allen, "I think I need to go home and do something," and I left in a hurry.


That was a fun memory. I still hold onto it and will continue to, as long as my memory allows. That's why I'm writing this blog; if my memory is taken by another stroke, at least there will be documentation of some of the silly things I did in my life.  


It's cold this morning!

So I think it was 17 degrees this morning! It was brutally cold. Definitely wakes you up!  I was going to check my geocaches  today  but the cold. 

So I would like someone to cuddle with.  Can you imagine cuddling again?  It would be all my wishes come true. 


Week 1 with President Trump






 It's been a week into this Presidenty. I would  i will highlight his first amazing week.  Unfortunately I have some liberal friends. Can't say we'll my candidate lost we will try again in a years. Unfortunately. they mock him. They make hateful comments.


Under Biden is just wanted him to retire and spend his time at the beach with friends and family.

Why does politics have to destroy friendships?

I now realize that if your friendships can survive a politics then was not that strong enough. 


Sam and Dean Winchester








In the dark of night, beneath the stars' cold gaze, Lived Sam and Dean, the Winchesters, bound by fate's cruel maze. Brothers in arms, with hearts of purest gold, A tale of love, loss, and battles untold.

Sam, the thinker, with eyes of wisdom deep, Dreamed of a world where peace could seep, Through every crack of their storm-torn lives, Where love, not loss, would forever thrive.

Dean, the warrior, with a soul so fierce, Guarded his brother, his love the fiercest pierce, Against demons, ghosts, and all that's vile, He'd drive that Impala, mile after mile.

Together they've roamed, from one end to the other, Saving lives, souls, each sister and brother. From the depths of Hell to Heaven's high gate, Their legacy was love, though the road was fraught with hate.

Oh, how they've fought, with every breath they drew, For every person they saved, for every heart they knew. They painted light in the darkest night, Gave hope where despair once held its might.

Remember the children, safe in their beds, Because Sam and Dean faced the dreads, The monsters under beds, the whispers in the dark, Their courage a beacon, an everlasting spark.

Think of the families, reunited, tears of joy, From the clutches of evil, they did deploy, A chance at life, at love once more, The Winchesters' gift, forever to adore.

In every act of kindness, in every soul they mend, Lies the essence of Sam and Dean, their goodness without end. Through sacrifice and pain, through every tear they've shed, They've left a world better, with every step they tread.

So let us remember, as they ride into the lore, Sam and Dean Winchester, heroes to the core. For every good deed done in the shadow of their name, They've given us hope, an eternal flame.

Now they rest, perhaps, in some peaceful land, But their love, their legacy, will forever stand. In hearts they've touched, in lives they've saved, Sam and Dean, the brothers brave.

I got greeted my something unusual








The other day I was at my friend's gravesite. Afterward, I had some time to explore. I ran into many ducks and two geese on a frozen pond in the cemetery.


The pond was filled with ducks and two geese. The geese had attitude; they were so angry that I didn't bring snacks.


The ducks surrounded me, thinking I had treats. I didn't have treats for them. I got many amazing shots of the grounds, ducks, geese, buildings, and structures.The other day I was at my friend's gravesite. Afterward, I had some time to explore.

El otro día estaba en la tumba de mi amigo. Después, tuve tiempo de explorar. Me encontré con muchos patos y dos gansos en un estanque congelado en el cementerio.




El estanque estaba lleno de patos y dos gansos. Los gansos tenían actitud; estaban tan enojados que no traje bocadillos.




Los patos me rodeaban, pensando que tenía golosinas. No tenía golosinas para ellos. Recibí muchas fotos increíbles de los terrenos, patos, gansos, edificios y estructuras.
