I just saw something that turned me inside out. As I was returning from taking the boys to school, I saw a female panhandler standing on the corner of a major intersection “ signing” I’m hungry....... now I don’t know much “signing” but that’s one I know oh to well. I have $5.00 in my pocket I would have given but I was too far away and traffic started moving. Because of the weather here we have panhandlers often......... in some countries I have been to, it’s a job. Story – when I was 5 a man came to our home. We were poor. My mother gave him all the change she was saving in a pickle jar. Well later that day my grandfather was in a car wreck. We went to help him. My mother took me in a bar to ask to use the phone to call a tow truck....... and there sat that man, drinking what was our change away.......... I don’t know......

A few years ago, I was in Atlanta doing some remodeling work.
I had worked all day and hadn't had a chance to eat the lunch I had packed.
As I was driving home, I had stopped at a red light and noticed a fellow on the side of the road with a sign that simply said,
"Veteran. Hungry."

I motioned for him to come over.
I gave him my uneaten lunch of 2 sandwiches, chips, carrot slices and a can of Coca-Cola.
As he reached for the bag of lunch, I told him that I was also a Vet.
I said that all Vets were my Brother.
He thanked me and I could see in his eyes that he was genuinely thankful.
As I drove away, I saw him take a large bite from a sandwich.....

I'm not in the habit of donating MONEY to those on the side of the road with a sign,
but this is one time that I'm glad I had something to give.

Best,

Scott

As y'all may recall, I swap coins worldwide with folks.

Well, here's one I just got from a fellow in France.....
Now, sending the coins they want, to France, is somewhat expensive--$14 minimum postage.

But, I HAD to complete this swap!

Easily a $150 coin!
Probably going to have it graded and slabbed soon....

Also just purchased this note....

Probably worth twice what I paid.....

And, just got another package of swapped coins from France in the mail!

OK.

Here is the Harrah's Casino Chip from New Orleans that I mentioned earlier as a prize for a Trivia Question....

Now then, RC, what shall the question be?
Shall we make it easy and the first with the correct answer?
Or shall it be difficult and wait for the correct answer?

Best,

Scott

Some have doubted that I have buried a treasure and have given clues.
I hope that all will see that I have indeed buried a Treasure to find.
I am a generous man, but, If you want a Treasure, you must earn it!

Just talked to Dale.
Unfortunately, John will not be able to come, but,
I told Dale that would be OK 'cause that will be more fish that we can catch!

I'll buy lunch and have plenty of cold Gatorade's on hand and we will give those fish hell tomorrow!

Dale was once a Championship "Bass Master" in his day.
Won many competitions.
Me?
I'm a "Catfish" man. I know nothing about fish with scales.
I told Dale that he is going to have to "school" me on which lures to use.
He sounded very excited!
I can't wait to spend time with a Vet Brother tomorrow!

Best,

Scott

Nothing like a vacation to brighten ones out look.:laughing7:

My last vacation has been a few or more years ago. Fishing Canada.
Though I do stay at Dads now and then when he needs serious watching.

Stopped in unannounced at Dads the other day.
A dang it all event.
Same dishes in dish drain I washed last week.
Funky dirty dishes breeding who knows what in the sink. Knocked them out and lectured Dad that his coffee cup needs to be washed once a week.
Rancid trash.
Same left overs I put in fridge too....

Need to bring him some food.
He did have a pot of chili cooling, but it smelled funny enough to politely decline a bowl.

Left my phone on his sofa.
Guess I gave myself another reason to go back.
He gets checked on regular by others. Proof of life or something like that.

Left me in a sour humor. Knowing the answers to about any question about his existence doesn't help.

RC,

Sometimes the mind grows weak.
Sometimes the will has no desire....
In either case, you must be one to show that you care.
Such a small endeavor means much to those who may look for reasons to continue....

When my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and told that she didn't have long, she only told one person. Me.

She knew that I cared.
She knew that I loved her.
She knew that I would be there.
She knew....

When the day came that she died,
She knew that I was there.

Never let dirty dishes in the sink keep you away.
Never let disarray of housekeeping keep you away.
Never let anything keep you away from those you love....
When it comes their day, they will know that you were there....
And you will rest easy knowing that.

My Prayers for you, my Friend.

Scott

Folks,

Procol Harum-Whiter Shade of Pale.

Does not an orchestral addition enhance a musical selection?

Well, yeah!

Reminds me of when I was just a kid, sneaking into Murphy Hall at the University of Kansas, (Locksmith knowledge?)
late at night, to sound-proof rooms with pianos, teaching myself how to play....

And, stumbling into a production of a College Play, "Annie, Get Your Gun," that I became a member of the crew.....
I used to stop by Murphy Hall every day after school to listen to the music played.
No matter if it was an orchestra practicing or a student learning a particular piece, I was always rapt with learning....

Such memories will always be with me....
Such a past enriched my appreciation of ALL music!

Scott

And,
Do you want the next song?

Here it is!

-----
"Whiter Shade of Pale" Reached #5 in 1987.
"Conquistador" reached #16 in 1972.
Do you love music as I do?
Do you love music?
Well..DO YOU?
I didn't think so
