Bad Day

We don't watch the nightly newscasts because it is mostly depressing things that have happened that day. We stopped after 9-11. So, while watching some nature program later yesterday, the network broke-in to report the latest information on the shooting in Newton,CT. It is bad enough to hear about adults getting killed, but children? How could so many people like this guy, slip through this country's fingers without someone helping these people. Needless lose of lives, both young and old. I pray for the families, the community of Newton, and this country. Some people say, "Ban the guns." But that will not help. Our health care system needs repair to help this people, not a ban on guns. I have never lost a child, but, I can only imagine how devastated I and my wife would be. I love my family, and extended family. I agree with President Obama, go right now, hug your children, and tell them of your love. Life is so fragile and happens quickly. Take care my friends and pray for the victims, their families, Newton CT. and our country.

Finally, DONE!!!

After nearly two years of work, and money, the 51 Chevy is finally done. Actually, I have been driving it for a few weeks to work out the bugs. The list of 'things to fix' has gotten smaller and smaller.

I have to admit, it is fun to take an old something, whether it's a car, a house or whatever, and bring it into it's former self and make it pretty again. There were other people who were involved in this process...I did not do the paint, interior or glass, but DID do the bodywork, wiring, fabrications and much more. I feel a sense of pride for that. OK, next project? Who knows. Time for a well deserved rest now and enjoy the up coming holidays and car shows.
