O.K., $85B government loan to AIG.

Add that to that the Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailouts and you are talking major $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

If you spread it among all the men women and children, regardless of age, it isn't too bad. Limit it to working age and it is depressing.

Are we setting a precedent? I hope not, but I am afraid we might be!

What we do for one, others can expect the same. And that is not good.

I've been at the NAPA store the past two days, probably again tomorrow, and it has been fun. I know Chris has missed me, and all of us have laughed until we were blue in the face.

Pat and I were supposed to go to lunch today, Memama and Pepa had eye appointments in Abilene. Pat had a doctor appointment and didn't get out until after one. We ended up meeting at Memama's and Pepa's and they were already back. I got to see Steph and Chloe while Memama micro'ed us a black angus burger. Pat and I discussed some issues with the NAPA store insurance and some record keeping. I think we covered most of the things, but we have a few more we need to discuss.

When I was ready to leave Memama's and Pepa's I asked Pepa to drive me to Sweetwater to pickup the Peterbilt truck I had bought a few weeks ago. This was the first time I had heard or driven it, but it seems to be a solid little truck.

In the past two days I have had an flurry of activity from past drivers wanting to work with me at the West Texas location. To be honest , I am pleased as punch. Now I have to come up with enough trucks to put these guys in.

I am hopeful we can also place some trucks on the milo haul from St. Lawrence to Fort Worth.
They have a 100,000 acres of milo out there that should yield about 6000+ truckloads of milo!
Wow!

The farmers had planted dry land cotton and it failed due to lack of rainfall, then they planted milo and it rained on it and got it up, then rained and rained again!

Hope your day was a good one.

FATHER, Thank YOU for the gift of laughter.
