It used to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Fifteen years ago, my wife made her dream to own a house. It’s an old house and we put a lot of sweat equity into remodeling the old plaster and wiring. I also dug a water garden and installed pumps and waterfalls. In other words, the place looks nice. Then, the renters started moving in. Some lasted a year or two, some only 6 months. Most all of them were violent to their spouses or children, but left us alone. We were the neutral party, despite the fact that we were usually the one to call the police when the violence would start.
My wife hears screaming tonight, looks out the front door and here is our most recent transplant wielding a large kitchen knife and trying to stab someone in an SUV. So, my wife takes the initiative this time, and calls the police. After all, I have 2 Grandchildren and they nether have to hear MF this or MF that, nor see a knife waving around.
So, now we are the Old Racist MF’s in the neighborhood, according to a rather loud exclamation for our benefit.
We don’t live in the city. We don’t have this kind of nonsense where we were raised or have lived.
Tell me about your experiences with neighbors and how you handled it.

Well, we’ve had our share of celebrity deaths in the last few weeks. The MSM has been droning on and on about those things.
Now for reality.
Your money ain’t worth shit. Your job is going or gone. Your house, if it is still yours won’t be much longer. Your state is broke, roads are deteriorating.
Average unemployment stands between 10 and 15%. If you don’t own a gun, prepare to be robbed when the depression hits.
Israel is not your friend. They are getting you killed, and ruining your money.
The wars drone on. 25% of returning Vets are mental cases. 10% are homeless. And, thousands are dead and still dying.
Still feel good? Well for those who do, guess what? Your favorite singing, child molester is still dead. Apparently, that’s what passes for news.

At the age of 93, Walter Cronkite died today. Uncle Walter, as we grew up knowing him as, was the last honest News reporter after Edward R. Murrow died.
He took us through it all; World War 2, Korea, Kennedy, Vietnam, and he was synonymous with the manned space projects right up to the moon landings. He was an admitted Democrat through and through, but never allowed politics to dictate his feelings, especially when he came back from Vietnam and said the best we could hope for was a stalemate.
When I think of the reporters we have today, who merely read teleprompters that someone else has fed information to, I think mainly of Wolf Blitzer, one of the most dishonest individuals on TV today.
The only man who even comes close to Uncle Walter is Anderson Cooper, and even he has to hold his tongue, less his opinion get him fired.
So, God Bless Uncle Walter. He won’t have to worry about interviewing Michael Jackson where he’s at.(Hint, Hint).
And, thats the way it is, July 17th, 2009. Goodnight.
