Mop Cover

 My wife is not good at mopping the floor with a mop, pail and mop bucket with soapy water. That is a little too heavy for her. But she uses the stretch cover that my daughter makes for a Swiffer duster. My wife puts the cover my daughter makes and sprays some mild spray on the floor and scrubs the floor with the stretch cloth my daughter makes. It is so strong and durable that it makes cleaning the floor very easy. When you are done you throw the stretch mop cover in the washing machine and dry it for another day. The cover lasts forever.

Going to San Jose

 

When I left the Navy, I went home in La Puente, California and the smog in Southern California kept burning my eyes. A friend in the Navy said to come to San Jose and maybe his father could find me a job painting houses. So I moved to San Jose and got a room west of San Jose and called my friend but he could not get me a job. That is when I got the job at the car wash so I would not burn up the cash at my bank.

I do not remember what I did in San Jose other than look for a job. The first thing I did was work at a car wash. In my spare time I went to any office and company to find a job. I had money when I left the military (Navy). My money was in the Bank of America. I was working at the car wash and I was living at a pace in my life style that I did not lose money. So, I did do things to enjoy my life by going to museums, movie theaters, Jazz Clubs and I did explore the area by traveling by bus and walking. I kept going to the same big companies and asking for work. Lockheed kept seeing me pretty often and they finally did give me a job as a janitor.

Early Black America

 

One thing that the British invasion of music did do was to help the black musicians that they had listened to while growing up in the late 1950s.

Walk Elsewhere

 I noticed that the parts of our cities in Western Kentucky have sidewalks. They were put there when the city grew. Now the sidewalks are part of the old homes in town. The new home and roads in the city do not have sidewalks. The road out of town where the new stores are built do not have sidewalks. Our mother and her carriage have to walk in the street or ditch. Old men pulling or pushing carts have to walk in the street and as we drive by; we wish they would walk elsewhere.

The Bluegrass of Western Kentucky

 The world in Western Kentucky is groomed by society. The bluegrass is trimmed by the rural livestock that grazes on the rolling hills. The colorful birds fly in the gardens of homes in the area. There is magic in the wave of rural greetings. There is bluegrass around the brown mulch that is worked into the rectangular gardens of vegetables behind the homes of Western Kentucky. The five-inch depth of soil is created by the history of roaming historical animals and the falling leaves blown across the rolling landscape.

There is a comfortable slowness and pleasure of being on this landscape. Yes this is part of this planet; an oasis of blue rolling hills.

The World of Amazing True Love

 I awoke with a good feeling about love. It is true that my love for my step-sister was the catalyst that gave my understanding and feelings about love. Later at Tolstoy I was given the love that has remained as a remarkable understanding of love, a love that was reciprocal and very pure.

That love was always easy to understand and feel if I saw a movie about love. It is a love that never goes away. It is always felt and shared with life on the planet earth. It is truly amazing feeling.

 

Big Type and Wally

I write in big type because of friend of mine (who is gone) told me he could not read my website because he could not read the type. So, I made the type bigger for him.

Wally is with me and Ramon, Wally has a black shirt looking to the left, arms around his knees. I am behind Wally (not named) Ramon is above me (shirtless).

Below Wally in 1997 when he told me he could not read my website because he could not read the small type.

When I was picking apples and Ramon found me and asked me to go to Morningstar. Wally was traveling with Nancy and her kids. The name “Fruit n’ Nut Nancy” was given to her because what she did on our trip south to Morningstar.

I stopped picking apples and went South to Morningstar with Joanie, Ramon, Wally, Nancy and her kids.

The Pledge of Allegiance

 

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Taking the Oath to Defend the United States Constitution

 When I joined the Navy I swore to …

I Thomas Diaz do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

The Oath I swore to when I joined the federal government at Lock and Dam # 50

I Thomas Diaz do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

The President of the United States swore to…

"I Donald Trump do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Logical Worms

 What kind of logic is that? Moses has his Ten Commandments and Jesus and Christianity followed them. Now the folks in Iran believe that if the United States is mostly Christian, they can kill Christianity and the Hebrew Nations and go to Heaven.

I have no clue what Donald Trump thinks? Is it an eye for an eye. What kind of logic is that? How do the worms that dig under other nations think?
