Day 8

Fall's last stand. Buckle in for another long Winter of global warming.


Hey, yeah. I owned a house once. I paid a mortgage, property taxes, and called Home Depot my second place to live. I watched that house being built. It was brand new. Basement, three bedrooms, cathedral ceiling, deck, fireplace, almost an acre of green grass, gardens, swings in the back and even a sprinkler system.
Watching that thing go up was, what I remember, the most exciting time of my life.
Then, within one year, had a baby and bought a new car. I worked my ass off as a Teamster in a refrigerated warehouse. I remember coming home one late Summer evening and the sun was an orange explosion sinking into the scrub pines of the cul de sac. I had the smell of a new car, walked past my beautiful green grass and up the perfect concrete driveway. When I walked in the house, I could smell the brand new home and the brand new baby. Beautiful smells, by the way.
I HAD MY OWN PLACE and I just fell in love with that feeling. I worked really hard, never turned down a minuet of overtime, worked nights, weekends and split weeks, never took days off so I could get paid for them at the end of the year and that made the FEELING of OWNING my own HOUSE the best feeling I ever had in my life. Work hard and you shall be rewarded. If not today then maybe 20 years from now. Be true to yourself, brush your teeth twice a day, build a house with blood sweat and tears and then maybe one day it will disappear like sawdust on a windy day -like it did for me.

I can still smell you.

    I had a dream..a dream about my mother.
    she was asleep on my couch, underneath the cover.
    She woke up walked to the kitchen and said thanks for the vodka.
    vodka? Mom thats not what I got ya…
    I said I wanted to take her out to dinner for your birthday.
    She was old, but her hair was not yet gray.
    She smiled and her teeth were rotten.
    I think they were in life to, but I had forgotten.
    i then woke up and felt so alone and empty.
    I said out loud, I need some coffee.
    Was this how I remember my mother??
    I laid back down and cryed underneath the cover. :(:(
    True dream..true story. Love you George. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. xoxo

Does the traditional Republican politician still seem too rich, too white and too uncaring about the disadvantaged ever to succeed with this constituency? Should the party stop talking about tax cuts and start being more sympathetic on immigration?
