My son goes out to save the world



My son is in school right now in the Air Force at a secret location. (Texas, but i never told you that OK) I thought that is great! he can see the world. Did I mention he's being sent to Dayton, Ohio. Must be a lot of terrorist activity there. I kid I kid. I don't want him getting blown up in Iraq. At least he got a good profession. The pharmacy!. When and if he gets out he can make some serious change with that job.


He seemed a little perplexed, bumbed out or what ever you call it about being sent to Ohio. He said he didn't care where he was sent but I know that's not true. He's young healthy good looking and smart. He has the world at his finger tips. I hope he gets to go to Germany or England or some where cool. He will never admit this, but some day he's going to be married with kids and this will be something he can look at and say hey I went to Europe or where ever and will have stories to tell like I do. I just hope he IM's me or e-mails me once in awhile.

If you're reading this do me a favor


Hey, you're reading this do me a favor. I have this cool thing on my site called NeoEarth. If you scroll down, you'll see a picture of the earth with yellow dots. It tells me where and how many people viewed my blog. Why don't you leave a comment just to say where you live. I got some people back in my home state of Pennsylvania checking it out. Also from Georgia. It says they are from Woodstock Georgia, that's where my best army buddies from. I knew Spec4 Brummit from when I was in Korea in the mid 80's. Unfortunately when I was on a trip to Atlanta, I called his home and his mom answered and informed me he died in an auto accident on New years Eve. He was a great guy!!!!!!!!!
Ok, what I was really going to say was, every area of the country has a home town diner, hamburger joint, deli, or what ever that makes YOUR TOWN SPECIAL. Mine was Isalys in Irwin, PA. It had great shakes, Burgers and the famous Ham Barbecue. So let me know what was so great about your hang out.

Pensylvania to Utah














I am Originally from Irwin, Pa and lived most of my adult life in Harrisburg, Pa. The last 4 years I have lived in Ogden Utah. It's quite a big change. I'm used to rolling hills and a lot of green trees, Fantastic food and many places to go. Well, Utah has it's mountains but , by July most every thing starts to get brown. As for the food...ehh not the greatest. Pennsylvania has it's cheese steaks, Pizza, and it's Isaly's ham barbeque's. Utah is famous for it's green Jello, fry sauce (ketchup and mayo) yuck! I guess, it's because I'm not from here. When I lived in Utah years ago when I met my wife, there was several restaurants I liked, but they are no longer here.
When I lived back east I loved to go to city Island and walk around just like going to point state park in Pittsburgh. We have the dinosaur park near the river (which back east it's a creek). It, however it is not the same. Fortunately I have a couple really good friends I hang out with. The upside to this is I feel the people are friendlier than back east. At least I don't get stabbed in the back every 5 minutes.
