Sunday Evening in Ahia

Today, in Nerk, Ahia,  we've had rain, sun, snow, clouds, sleet, all on a Sunday. For some reason it made me think of a Sunday in Elko, Nevada, only without all the weather. Elko was a small town, I worked at the Ranch in motel and casino, for a friend of mine, Bob Goodnight. I remember on breaks, standing out in front of the building, watching the occasional car go by. Very quiet and lonely.

The main casino in town was the Stockmans, known worldwide. I worked a few shifts there, something I always wanted to do. The old timers would talk about their days working in Elko at the Stockmans, it was on my list of things I wanted to do in Nevada, actually, that was the last one on my list. I finished my list there, got on a train, and headed for Ohio.

I've listened to old Mitt bad-mouth Newt all day. Pathetic when you have no agenda of your own and resort to picking others apart. I must admit I have lost all respect for old Richy Rich Mormon Romney.  Might have the choice between a Muslim and a Mormon running the country. We know what to expect from the Muslim, have lived under that rule for a few years. At least we know what to expect from Obama, not sure what the Romney-Mormon  merger might bring us.

Big event tonight, the Millionaire Athlete club is meeting in Hawaii, what competition that will be. One player spent $28 thousand buying earphones for his team, wanted them listening to their music on the "best."

Interesting that a number of "athletes" are having to sell their homes. Some have retired, some are still playing. I guess when you are getting a paycheck each week you can afford a 35 million dollar place to live in. Gets expensive when the checks run out. Wonder what the taxes and upkeep are on a 35 million dollar place?

I bought, and have had now for four days, a SunTouchPlus Nature Bright light. 30 minutes a day will enhance my mood, elevate my energy and promote better sleep. It adds an optimistic new dimension in my life, just by turning it on. I had used it four times now, not sure if it is working or not. Not sure what all happens, maybe it is a gradual thing.

It doesn't tan like I thought it did, so I have ordered a sun lamp that tans, it should be in next week. If both lights work it should change my life......
