SPAM, Curious, Greyhounds and Friends in distress

Over the past few months I have wondered about an e-mail or two I was expecting. YEP, found them in the SPAM folder. At one time I would get irritated at the little ‘pop-up’ that said, “want to check your SPAM folder?” Not any more. I e-mailed the author of ‘Say it Baldys’ asking about his career as a bus driver. I say I am not curious, when I see/hear folks who want to know what come celebrity eats,



where they buy their clothes or what the inside of their house looks like. I’m not curious as to what gift the Queen gave the President or vice versa. Therefore I say, ‘I’m not curious’. But that is a misconception on my part. Like the lower animals, humans are curious by nature.
Sometimes I am nosey or curious about someone’s career of occupation. Over the years I have learned there is more to someone’s job than is apparent to the casual observer.
Finding his e-mail in SPAM and reading it is great. Sam has driven in familiar places to me. He has driven charters and regular routes. No serious accidents. If you have never ridden in a Motor Home but have a bus, there is no comparison on a rough road. The bus rides smooth; this motor home feels the bumps. See Jack, you R curious, WHY? We have air ride, but not as cushy as the Greyhound.

Much more serious note....

WE all have watched in disbelief the unfolding stories in Haiti. Our good friends Fred & Frances were watching, and lo and behold there are good friends of theirs being interviewed. (Lovell was being interviewed on CNN, with his wife, Ginny, in distress being treated in the back ground, the Careys must be in their 80’s). They were visiting Haiti with a mission’s delegation. What a shock it must be to see something like that, and what are the odds?

From Fred’s Blog: http://fbrannen.blogspot.com/

We have learned that the overseer of the Churches of God in that country was killed when a 20 foot concrete wall fell on his car; that was the car that Lovell and Ginny Carey were traveling in. Lovell and Ginny were last known to be in Dominican Republic. Ginny is in the hospital being observed for possible heart attack.


Since then I have learned that the Carey’s are back at their home and trying to rest, in Cleveland, TN.

Thanks for coming by the log.

Thanks again for all the Birthday wishes!

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
