Well today was interesting. You probably heard about the huge hurricane in the last four days. I got something to say about that. You know i do have sympathy concerning those people down there, but after all they were warned three days in advance about the impending danger of staying there in those areas. So when i heard about those people dying in those apartments i think it was thirty of them they found, well it is hard to feel bad about that. And those people looting tons of stuff, geez. Now i dont want anyone to take this wrong, but you know i realize that whites have as bad of a time as blacks or any other minority does. But those news reports showed all blacks and no whites wonder why?? Think that is mostly who was doing the looting? Oh and they did declare martial law in New Orleans good gosh!! I say shoot the sobs if they are caught looting the homes, stores etc. Naaaaaaaa that is probably the wrong thing to say. But there are so many of em that they cant catch them all for sure. They say that 80 percent of the town is under water. No electricity, no water, they even cancelled school for a minimum of two months. Tragic situation there. Well thought I would put up a pic of my youngest son, hehe we call him #3. Hope he doesnt mind~ We love him and he knows we do...take care until next time.

Well this evening i got to chat with a very good friend of mine in Seattle. He and i have known each other for oh boy mmmmmm 40yrs?? Long time. The oldest friend i have. We have a history that goes wayyyyyyyyy back heheh. Anyway i told him about the blog soooo who knows maybe he will come on and read it. Now if i only had a pic of him i could put it on here !!! Send me one rob!! heheh ..take care cya later on this week. oh it has really rained here today, but we needed it very bad.

Well today was interesting. My neice likes to watch that professional wrestling so i went to watch it with her. That was interesting. Plus i got to eat a lot of stuff heheh. Now tomorrow being monday is the first day at school for most everyone here in town. Plus my wife is back on her job working at three schools. I dont know how she does it but she does, goes to three schools every day. Oh and we are still looking for a house in town, something with three bedrooms and double car garage.

well it is the 16th of august and summer is almost over but the temperature is verrrry hot. The wife is getting ready to start teaching this year in three schools, what a job!! I am still looking for a job here in springfield. I got a job now, but am trying to get one here in town. The gas prices are killing me right now at 2.50 per gallon. So that 150 mile round trip is about to do me in. I went to several interviews this week and it is interesting that they want to pick your brains and pay you peanuts when they find out how much experience you have in management. That always gets me,,ever hear this after an interview?? Well we really liked you but we hired several people but we have your resume right on top of the pile?? Hahahaha aint that something? So you got my app on the top jusssssst in case you made a bad decision with the other creeps you hired so you can call me and offer me the position?? Balsyyyy right??

Well i thought about something and i dont think i have told you how i come up with the name of my blog...rattlersplace. well heheh i use irc quite a bit. for those that dont know, irc is actually called internet relay chat. there quite a history behind where irc or mirc came from but i wont go into that. anyway if you ever want to reach me on irc and i am there you can find me on dalnet servers on a channel called 40+tennesseefun. you can also find out more about irc at www.40tnfun.us if you ever got some time just to cruise the net. sooooooooo i am known on irc as diamondback,,,so now you know where the rattlersplace came from! take care cya later......

Well today is the 10th of august. And this weekend i am going to go and finish my moms ceiling in her entire house. I had to mud the whole ceiling and cause the sheetrock is old and brown, I have to put two coats on it. But she is excited about it and it will make her life better. The next project is to put new trim around the house, then repaint the house. It should all be done by the end of august. I am going to try to post some pics from my wifes graduation, and party. Give you all something to look at if you want.
