While that may work sometimes for something like say… money, when you look at most everything else in life… it just doesn’t work that way. Let’s look back over some instances from my own experience that prove my point. 1966 Elk City, Oklahoma 7 years old – One teaspoon of Vanilla in a batch of cookies heaven. Takin’ a big ol’ swig of vanilla right out of the bottle… Not better… really, really not better. 1967 ...Good Morning 2009tag:randysblog.com,2009-01-01:26e35803-2506-488a-80a3-25782e50b6d2Randycar_part@swbell.net2009-01-01T17:36:00Z2009-01-01T17:36:00Z...Good Night 2008tag:randysblog.com,2008-12-31:89a32d76-79a9-424f-bcdc-d852ed05914eRandycar_part@swbell.net2009-01-01T04:06:00Z2009-01-01T04:06:00Z...Spicing things up at home.tag:randysblog.com,2008-12-24:0c7a14ac-410c-4cd6-8089-430e0eedfe00Randycar_part@swbell.net2008-12-24T22:37:43Z2008-12-24T22:37:43ZDream Girl was trying to tell me goodbye when she left work today. (As a side note she left work early if you can call it that. She got to work at about 11:00am and left for home at about 1:00pm so it was more like she was visiting work than actually being there. But that is perfectly fine because she is beautiful and wonderful and she can do whatever she wants whenever she wants…. But again I digress…) Anyway she tried to tell me goodbye but I was too busy reading about the Air Bag System ...Some days I can’t seem to get anything accomplished.tag:randysblog.com,2008-12-22:45063f6a-6f69-49e6-a2ae-1311a5a635a8Randycar_part@swbell.net2008-12-23T01:29:35Z2008-12-23T01:29:35Z(On the phone with Dream Girl) Me: Hey, what are you doing?

There are mental and technical obstacles which need to be overcome. Mentally it's difficult to open that can back up without making a mess. It is a lot like opening a can of beer after dropping it while falling off the porch. No... not me I saw it happen once. Although.... I have fallen out of a chair on the beach before.....

You know when. Before. Before, the time when the goals or the hopes or the next achievement started to be more important than and shadow the very people that make those desires a possibility. How do we lose touch with them? People that we were close to, people with whom we shared some of our most vivid memories and life experiences, gone in what seems to be a blink of the eye. I’m not talking about the ones that die. They have an excuse for being out of the loop. We get ...I’m officially back.

I don’t know what came over me. I have been working on this new “look” for a couple days and I think I may actually like it and keep it around for a while. I took the header photo at sunset from on top of Mount Scott in the Wichita Mountains. You have not known relaxation until you have stood atop a mountain, 1355 feet above the plains below, totally alone at sunset. ...Happy Thanksgiving to friends, family and strangers from afar....tag:randysblog.com,2008-11-27:f5f1b8a2-8899-4411-bde6-4787f5756cb8Randycar_part@swbell.net2008-11-28T03:40:00Z2008-11-28T03:40:00ZThe only white stuff in Oklahoma this day of thanksgiving is cotton in the fields.

My two favorite lunch restaurants have closed their doors. Cinders in the Ramada Inn has been closed for some time now. I wonder where "Ms Pearl" is? She cooked wonderful homemade soups for Cinders. Just what Okie Sister craves on a cool fall day. Annie Pearl Hill cooked at this hotel for 35 years. And now the Back Porch is closed.
