HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 3 VOL 11
JUNE 3RD 2008
WEATHER; HOT, HIGH HUMIDITY, 73/99 DEGREES
WELL, BARRACK OBAMA HAS CLAIMED THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, A SAD DAY IN BLACK ROCK! NOW WE’LL SEE WHAT THE DNC DOES ABOUT HILLARY’S WINNING THE MOST VOTES, OVER 18 MILLION! IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND HAROLD ICKES THREATENED TO TAKE THE WAY THE DNC RULES COMMITTEE HANDLED THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN SITUATION TO THE NEXT STEP UP AND TO THE SUPREME COURT IF NECESSARY! I SAY, IF YOU AGREE TO SEAT THE DELIGATIONS THEY SHOULD HAVE FULL VOTES NOT ½ VOTES! AND GIVE BACK THE 4 DELIGATES THEY TOOK FROM HILLARY AND GAVE TO OBAMA! SOUNDSLIKE UNDER HANDED THING ABOUND IN THE DNC!
WE WENT TO DALLAS VA THIS MORNING FOR MY 11:40 AM APPOINTMENT! YEAH RIGHT! WE GOT THERE AT 11:10 AM AND WERE TOLD AT THAT TIME MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR 1:00 PM! NO BODY CALLED OR CONTACTED US BY MAIL TO SAY THE APPOINTMENT WAS CHANGED, BONHAM DOESN’T DO THINGS LIKE THIS! YOU CAN BET THE DIRECTOR AT THE DALLAS VA WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS WITH A CARBON COPY TO VA HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON D.C.
TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, KELLY PUT FREON IN THE A/C LAST NIGHT AND WAS PRETTY SURE WE WOULD HAVE A/C FOR THE TRIP! WHEN I STARTED THE ACCLAIM UP THIS MORNING THE A/C JUST BLEW COOL AND GOT PROGRESSIVLY WORSE AS WE HEADED FOR DALLAS, BY THE TIME E GOT TO MCKINNEY TX. I SHUT THE COMPRESSOR OFF THE AIR WAS WARM COMING OUT OF THE VENTS! WE WENT ON DOWN AND CAME BACK WITHOUT A/C, IT WAS A MISERABLE TRIP TO SAY THE LEAST! WE HAD FREON AND THE TOOL TO PUT IT IN BUT IT WOULD BE TO HOT UNDER THE HOOD TO PUT IT IN! AND IM’NOT SURE THE COMPRESSOR WOULD COME ON WITHOUT JUMPING THE LOW PRESSURE SWITCH SO I OPTED NOT TO DO IT! FOR MOM’S SAKE I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE BUT SHE UNDERSTANDS I DON’T DO TO GOOD IN THE HEAT!
TOMORROW MORNING I’M GOING TO GO OUT AND PUT A ½ CAN OF FREON IN THE SYSTEM BY JUMPING THE LOW PRESSURE SWITCH AND THEN USE THE ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR TO FIND THE LEAK! WE DON’T NEED TO BE OUT IN THE HEAT WITHOUT A/C AND IF WE HAVE TO WE’LL TAKE IT AND GET IT FIXED, I CAN DO SOME OF THE SMALL THINGS BUT IF IT’S LEAKING THROUGH A HOSE OR A SWEDGED FITTING I WON’T TACKLE THAT!
KELLY CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER IN THE INTREPID AND TOOK IT OUT A DROVE IT AND SAID HE COULDN’T MAKE IT ACT UP LIKE IT DID THE OTHER DAY SO WE’LL USE IT TILL WE GET THE ACCLAIM A/C FIXED! MOM TALKED TO HIM BUT DIDN’T ASK IF HE RAN THE A/C IN THE INTREPID TO BE SURE THAT WASN’T WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM! I’LL TAKE IT OUT WITH MOM AND SEE HOW IT ACTS WITH US DRIVING! SOMETIMES OTHER PEOPLE WILL TAKE A CAR DOWN THE BLOCK AND BACK AND SAY IT’S FIXED, WE’LL GO TO SHERMAN AND BACK THEN WE’LL KNOW IF VERYTHING IS OK!
HER’S A COUPLE FROM ACRAMAX
NOT SO SMART
THE OLD INDIAN CHIEF SAT IN HIS HOME ON THE RESERVATION, SMOKING HIS CEREMONIAL PIPE, EYEING THE TWO U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SENT TO INTERVIEW HIM.
"CHIEF TWO EAGLES," ONE OFFICIAL BEGAN, "YOU HAVE OBSERVED THE WHITE MAN FOR MANY YEARS. YOU HAVE SEEN ALL HIS PROGRESS AND ALL HIS PROBLEMS." THE CHIEF NODDED.
THE OFFICIAL CONTINUED, "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ALL THE WHITE MAN HAS DONE?"
THE CHIEF STARED AT THE OFFICIALS FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE, AND THEN CALMLY REPLIED, "WHEN WHITE MAN FOUND THE LAND, INDIANS WERE RUNNING IT. NO TAXES. NO DEBT. PLENTY BUFFALO, PLENTY BEAVER. MEDICINE MAN FREE. INDIAN PEOPLE HUNTED AND FISHED ALL THE TIME."
THE CHIEF PAUSED, THEN ADDED, "ONLY WHITE MAN DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK HE COULD IMPROVE SYSTEM LIKE THAT."
THE DEVIL YOU SAY
THE DEVIL TELLS A SALESMAN, "LOOK, I CAN MAKE YOU RICHER, MORE FAMOUS, AND MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ANY SALESMAN ALIVE. IN FACT, I CAN MAKE YOU THE GREATEST SALESMAN THAT EVER LIVED."
"WELL," SAYS THE SALESMAN, "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO IN RETURN?"
THE DEVIL SMILES, "WELL, OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME YOUR SOUL," HE SAYS, "BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO GIVE ME THE SOULS OF YOUR CHILDREN, THE SOULS OF YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN AND, AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME THE SOULS OF ALL YOUR DESCENDANTS THROUGHOUT ETERNITY."
"WAIT A MINUTE," THE SALESMAN SAYS CAUTIOUSLY, "WHAT'S THE CATCH?"
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
