Slowly make changes now that I am retired.


I have been playing with, troubleshooting, learning, and cussing computers. For a very long time. My first computer was the TRS-80 way back in and around 1980 or so. I think I have had more than my share of the Trash-80s. That was when if you wanted to do anything with them you had to write your own programs. Well I started by just copying in a program you could find in a book. And this was before the internet as we know it. Then I would take a program that I could find the code for and change the code to do other things. Then along came the IBM PC, and I started going to computer flea markets and getting parts and building my own computers or recreating computers. That was the fun days of computers. Then I became crazy and decided to switch from being an Electronics Technician, and turn myself into a software and computer troubleshooter and support person. I never realized that I would be forever taking test and certifying and recertifying and recertifying. And the expense of it all is crazy. I have and still do, mess with MS windows, Linux, and now Apple IOS. When I was seeing the big picture that I was getting to the end of the line with my career. I joked with the ones that I worked with that I was going to ditch Microsoft and get and IPhone and IPad. Well that has happened I now have both? But I also still have windows 10 and one of the latest Linux distros, and even my wife has an android phone and tablet. Now that I have the IPhone and the IPad and I see how they work together so great, all I want to do is use them. The only thing I do not have is a Mac. Well may someday that too will be in the cards who knows. For now and for the foreseeable future we will have windows due to my wife’s sewing machines, seems they only will talk to the windows systems.

But IOS is so simple and easy to use I am loving it.

Oh how we forget the true history

I have been called so many names because I do not believe the way the extreme liberal Democrats do. And I will have to say that I also do not believe the way the extreme conservative Republicans do. I have always said that I am in the middle. I have conservative believes and liberal believes just not to either extreme. As my dad once said that the two parties are becoming farther a port and each is going the opposite way from where they started from. If you have really read your history you will know that it was the Republicans that voted to free the slaves and not the Democrats. And you would also know that the civil war did not start because of slavery, because both the north and south had slaves. The civil war was started due to the economics of the time. The south was being frozen out of the prosperity that the north had. And the north decided to use slavery as a means to freeze out the south even more. Also you have to know that there were a lot of blacks that were slave owners and also slave dealers. And at that time our government even had slaves working at the Capital and the White House.

Oh how we want to forget our real history folks. And how our education system has been the biggest cover up provider for our governments to help us forget our true history.

I believe in Jesus Christ,

I believe in Jesus Christ, and I try to always find the good in a person. But I have to say that I struggle so much with finding the good in politicians. Why you may say, well there was a time in my life that I worked to see to it that certain politicians were safe and secure while there I was taking care of their communications. I saw just how corrupt that politicians are and can be. And I pray every day that God forgives me for the feelings that I have. And every day I pray that this country and the world comes to see just how corrupt that it really is. I know that most politicians start out to do their very best to do right by the people they represent, but the longer they stay at the job the more corruption they see and the more chances that they have at becoming corrupted. Only God knows how bad it really is. My prayer for this country and this world is that we all wake up and have our eyes opened to just how corrupt our government and our politicians really are.
