Yet, Geradot will be rewarded.....
He has graciously agreed to pass his prize to the next closest guess overall.

Consulting our roster:

Hollardog guessed $8765. $3265 over.
And,
The replacement winner is.....
Hbot with his guess of $8574. $3074 over!

Don,

I can never give up my "Day Job."
My "Day Job" is helping others and providing a laugh or two along the way!
Hopefully to ease one's worried mind....

Hope you are Well, my Friend!

Between mailing the prize for my latest contest,
and searching for pics from my "Box of Memories,"
I've got this, dig?
Anything else on my calendar?
Yeah, 5-10 other things....
How's your memory?
Me?
Yeah, I like ice cream!
(A blatant, sarcastic political statement.)
Sorry.....
Maybe.....

Having found the pics of "Things I've made,"
Did you all know that I painted designs on the lockers for my Co-Workers?
When I worked at KUMC? Some 30+ years ago?
I received permission from my Supervisor, Robb.....

And several more....
My locker.....

Yet, somehow, I kept my sanity.....

"By anyone's measure...."
"Yet my words,"
"One must treasure."

Not of values nor of views....."

I am neither, nor a poet or wordsmith,
But a humanist.

However,
Of music and lyrics?
Well,

Maybe....
Shall we tune up?
What flavor do you like?
Somewhere around the key of G?
A one, anna two....

So many memories.....
But.....
What am I looking for?
I now consider myself crippled.
My pain tells me so.



My health declines.
NEVER HELPLESS!
I want, one more time, to enjoy in my Georgia Mountains!
Perhaps one more story of an adventure?

I always have my ruck packed and ready to explore new horizons..........
Whether in this life or the next......



Scott

More "Locker Art...."

Y'all behave an' look after one 'nother, hear?
'Cause we all are each other's Brothers.....

Scott

A photo just found...
When my Mom re-married....

Other photos are "Re Found."
Too many stories.....
Perhaps I'll relate the current photo story one day....

She wore her favorite pearl necklace that day.
Years later, I made sure that she wore those pearls when she was buried.
Always love you, Mom!

A new Contest is being thought of.....
-------

"What shall it be?"
"Gimme a minute or three."

"A contest anew?"
"One to win by YOU!"

"A prize so fine"
"A gift of "Charter Membership" will be thine!."
-----

Dang!
I love having contests!

Scott

-----
I could not give Charter Membership gifts during the last Contest,
Due to my rules of Fairness,

But,
A new Contest awaits!
What shall it be?

The new contest may be about me contacting Heritage Auctions to again sell for me.

I have a "couple few" currency errors that I think could be featured.

I just replaced my broken tripod and will soon take pictures to send to Heritage for their thoughts.....

I'll also post the pics here for your perusal and opinions.

Y'all be Good now, Hear?

Best,

Scott

I just realized that I awarded 3 Prizes overall in this last contest.
But is only 3 enough?
Why can't Everyone be a Winner?
Now, THERE'S an idea worthy of pursuing.......
(Stay tuned.....)


(Much better than Disco of the era. Prove me wrong!)

****Slowly raises hand, from the back row of class in Honors History******

The Professor's "slant" finally pissed me off, after about 20 minutes....
After his "PowerPoint of the 70's," including European Terrorists.
Ah, hell no.
You're in my wheelhouse now.....

When he finally, reluctantly, called upon me,
I stood and said:

"Yes, I was in Germany then.
Yes, I was an American Soldier.
I know more about European Terrorists than whoever wrote this textbook.
I learned to "Work" under many different musical genres and personas.
And with several other Foreign entities.
And governments.....
Wherever I was assigned."

"Name some Clubs you went to.
Or, like me, is that info still not classified?"

"Yeah, Teacher, of your 'Academic books,' and "PowerPoint" presentations,"
"Know this....
"I was there. I served. I know the truth.."
Where were you?"

Bunkers on Christmas Eve?
Your only Friend....
Your M-16....
90 rounds and pray.....

"Tomorrow, if you live, who can you now trust but yourself...."
-----

And then I sat down.
The class went silent for quite awhile.....
That Professor was a Liberal. I found joy in confronting him, seeking discourse.
Perhaps I pushed,,,,
Pushed too hard?





Ahem....
Worst grade I ever got in College.
But, I learned SO much.......Dig?
NEVER call out a Professor during Class.
I was nearly expelled from My Collegiate goals.....
We also had a "disagreement" about the 60's a week previous.....
Guess I'll never learn to keep my mouth shut.
Thank God!
Honors History? Pshaw!
I preferred "Honors Philosophy!"
Gotta keep my grades up for the Scholarships!
(And I Did!)

Scott



Yeah, I could move on the floor.....
Once upon a few years ago.....
Maybe still?
Sporting an afro, wearing a silk shirt, nearly unbuttoned, platforms and a bucket of self-confidence,
I "worked."

Now?
My mind says YES!
My body sez, "Have you finally lost your mind? A hole in your marble bag?"
Then, my mind says,
"Maybe......Stick around and find out........
I still have one more mountain to climb. Let's see where we can go....."
Body says, "Umm.. OK. Let's do it!"

And thinking of Contests.....


Have a SAFE Memorial Day!
