April 2nd, 2008

Five things I wish I’d have heard today and explained away as April Fool’s jokes;

1. Global warming (it’s just Mother Nature having her cycle).

2. The Mayor of Memphis’ extortion/resignation letter. - The school board should hire him as he wants and then fire him a week later so we can all be done with him!

One with the Earth

August 16th, 2007

A few years ago I had the privilege of being the Chief Recruiter of Navy Recruiting District Phoenix. One of the many great things about the NRD is that within its territory was the Navajo Nation.

Navy Recruiting Station Flagstaff was one of the NRS’ that covered the Navajo Nation, we would make every attempt to place Sailors who were Navajo in Flagstaff. We were lucky enough to have two Navajos stationed there during my tour.

May 19th, 2006

For the past few days we have been vacationing at Disney World. What a great time! My favorite is EPCOT. The fact that each country represented has native residents as cast members really makes the experience as close to visiting the country as you can without actually leaving American soil.

Disney has recognized work must be completed on the American themed section of EPCOT to make it more realistic. Currently illegal immigrants are being interviewed for the various open positions in order to add a realistic feel and because they are having a very hard time finding “real” Americans who can/would greet a guest with common courtesy, show-up on time and do “work”.
