Road construction








Each morning is filled with the wonderful sounds of reverse beepers and the thundering
sounds of dump truck gates slamming into truck beds after dropping off their precious
cargo of dirt.Dirt that creates dust. Dust that coats everything with a gritty film of fun.
Ahh yess, the filth of road repair. All this goodness is coupled with two, not one, but two
wonderful aspects of living where I do. The road out is being destroyed only to be rebuilt into something hot, smelly and flat.....for a while. The other aspect is, the road that leads to the point where 3 converge is closed, so EVERY STINKING CAR/TRUCK THAT USED TO PULL UP TO THE STOP LIGHT, NOW, IS DIVERTED DOWN MY STREET.
Yes my street. It belongs to me. 25 mph has turned into 75 mph because every scumbag that
forgets from day to day that the main route is CLOSED, has to make up the time he/she lost
with the inconvenience of not taking the millisecond it takes to find an alternate route. I hate them all, and I want to erect a toll booth at both ends, so as to fund the county road crew in order to get my street plowed more than the 2 times a year its currently plowed out. Did I also mention that the TWO most direct routes to work are also nothing more than giant holes were asphalt used to be? Yes, its true. I have a ten minute drive to work that takes 25 now. Im getting a bicycle. I need the exercise anyway.

Moving on, I want to express how good Im feeling about my new stock trading strategy. Keep in mind, paper trading is not like trading with real Benjamins, but after a while, money seems more like a tool of the trade than anything else. I started on May 5th with a 150,000. dollar practice account. The tally for the month of May is...(bumm-duh-duh-DUMM) $34,857.00 profit, before taxes of course. Thats roughly 8700.00 per week. I dont know how I could really live on that. Probably in a 'fridge box somewhere. I never laid out more than 90,000.00 at any one time, so in reality, if I employed margin (equivalent to 2x buying power) the sum I earned on paper could have been around 16,400.00 per week. Enough to get by on I suppose. This strategy did however fall into "pattern day trading" status unfortunately. That is an aspect Im seeking to remedy. After years of study, and toil behind my computer screen, I think I have finally found a niche. This niche minimizes risk in ALL market conditions, and takes profits out quicker than traditional investing/trading. Long and short...so far it work great. I wont elaborate anymore than that. I am starting a campaign to raise funds, so I might obtain the proper licenses to manage money and gather investors to provide the necessary 50,000. to 100,000.00 cash to get started. I would almost guarantee the results. Almost.

My sister is coming home on the 25th of this month. Apparently her family is staying here until the 4th of July. This is great news. I love the summer visits, and Im on vacation all that week, so Im looking forward to some good old fashioned fun. Probably, mostly at my Bro-in-laws expense. I hope he brings his broke ass Boccee game with him, so as I may break it off in 7' 4" ass. I also fully intend to grab up my sis, and me and my best friend are gonna get her shit faced beyond repair...probably. She has been known to tip back a few, so I could have my work cut out for me. If my nephew and sister wish to have it broken off in their ass, they may join Don in the " I got it broke off in me " Boccee playoffs. All the participants get a t-shirt and discount coupons for $1.00 off Dairy Queen chili dogs and some expired MIS tickets for this weekends race

On a final note, Id like to throw a giant middle finger toward the automobile industry. Hanging in the balance of greed versus reality, i would like to say once again...IM sick of being held captive by the UAW and U.S. Automakers. Im as pro union as anyone. My "boss", thats what we will call him, told me " you know..you'de be better off putting your union dues into an IRA and make that money you pay worth something". Lets analyze this a moment. My dues are around $30.00 a month. That breaks down to about .25 per hour I pay to get the benefits of union labor. I challenge any employer in my industry to prove that if a union didnt represent the workers, our benefits package would diminish by less than .25 per hour. Heres the problem. If you haven't been given the fat UAW contract and your a lowly worm down the feeding trough of auto manufacture, like me, you dont get paid to be layed off. You just dont get paid at all. Our contract does not include a defined "shitter " break time limitation of 45 minutes, OUTSIDE of your allotted break times, to take a crap. Here's a news flash..if it takes you 45 minutes to "force of will" a shit out of your ass.....you need medical help. IM NOT DEMONIZING THE UNION, Im just saying that it seems the "nepotism" prone higher end labor contracts/hiring practices of the unions coupled with ridiculous compensation for executives, seasoned with a complete lack of vision by the Big 3 as a whole, makes for a giant turd sandwich all the people who supply these forementioned peeps with the stuff they need to make cars/trucks. My employer has men with 40 years seniority, NOT WORKING. 40 years of keeping America mobile and safe, and they arent working. Something is wrong here.

Have a nice day, and just turn the phone ringer off, nobody is calling except your creditors, whom you cant pay anymore.Oh and to the other greedy suckers..thanks for the $3.00+ gasoline....kick me some more,maybe sweet financial death will come soon.
