SILO

Last night I binged the second season of SILO the apocalypse horror action series starring adorable Rebecca Ferguson, feminine action hero, which is one of my favorite genres. Unfortunately or fortunately because of my addiction to this genre and watching the second   PREDATOR movie with my 6-year-old daughter on my lap, I turned her tomboyish action loving personality into the first female cop of Roseland Indiana. And now you know the rest of the story. And I've been just watched an entire season in one day because I am 77 years old, retired, and I can.

LARRY THE HOMELESS GUY

Image
I and my family have a deep connection to the oil fields and the supporting industries. That's why all the hoopla around the LANDMAN series with Billy Bob Thornton stirred my memories.  After the birth of Rebecca, while I was waiting for a position to open up in the Church of the Nazarene, I felt a surge of ambition and decided to go to work for a centerless grinding outfit in Compton. Yes, that Compton, where the SLA was burned alive rather than surrender.  The centerless grinding ties in because what we worked on were huge stainless steel? Pipes which must have been used in the oil industry. See how that ties in?  The story revolves around Larry, the homeless guy who lived in a box behind the plant. I was hired to be the supervisor of a two-man crew on second shift which included the boss's son who was pretty young. Part of this assignment included supervising Larry the homeless guy who swept the floors and did miscellaneous chores so that he could use the b...

CELEBRITY PREACHER

I was 26 years old and loaded with ambition when I went to my first church in Mohall North Dakota. Grant May was the youngest board member at the age of 50 and the rest were in their 60s and seventies. As I drove around the beautiful countryside only 15 miles from the Canadian border I couldn't help but notice the oil wells. This was in the day when 99% of all oil wells drilled straight down. Grant was the leading and youngest board member and had a very productive well on his land. When I decided from time to time to invite special speakers to the little church 55 miles from Minot, probably because of my very charming wife they decided to support some of the wild ideas I had. I also decided to try to promote them on the local television stations and radio station so Lynne and I would drive to Minot after I made phone calls and I made arrangements to visit each of the television stations. In the little town of North Dakota all the farmers came in...

THE SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDESS

Image
Continuing my thought on IT'S A DANGEROUS WORLD, I'd like to suggest to protect the youngest of us, God gives that responsibility to a shepherd and a shepherdess. Mom and dad. These are my parents at their wedding in Springfield Illinois. I was there also in my mother's tummy which kind of explains why they were getting married. Don't get me wrong. They passionately loved each other. I guess I'm proof of that.  I was born a super curious child. I remember sitting watching Mom vacuum with an electric vacuum cleaner. I must have asked how that was powered because I remember her explaining that electricity ran down the cord and came from the wall and that's what powered it, that is the vacuum cleaner.  My dangerous penchant for testing theories out formulated an idea in my head and I noticed a bobby pin laying on the carpet, and I made the observation that it looked like it would fit very nicely in the electric outlet.  I may be exaggerating a little bi...
