Here is one of the old letters I keep talking about. It's a little hard to read. But I'll try to rewrite it so it's a little bit more understandable.  Dear Howard, I received you letter and was glad to hear from you. My arm is better now. I can write now. I sure am glad you said that you wish that you were here but I still think that Wis is better boy do I wish that I was out there. The weather is terrible cold out here. Gee do I wish that was was going hunting with you too. I wonder if you can send a deer head to me and I would pay for it. I sure would like to have one. If I would have a way going out there I sure would be your partner at the dinner. It sure is hard times out here to because I have now job. The jobs are bad out here. Last night I had a party for my brother Frank. we sure had a good time we stay up till 4 o'clock in the morning. I gave my girlfriends William Westberg address. And I think that she will write to him. What is ...

The past couple of weeks or so allot of channels have been having stories about the assassination of JFK.    Everything Kennedy was out there. Including the release of the Kennedy cousin this week, who just happened to be release from prison after serving 10 years for a murder that happened 30 years ago. But for which he was not charged with until  20 years after it happened. Will he be retried? In my opinion, nope. Why do I say this? Because money talked to the right people at the right time. Just another idea I thought I'd throw out there with all the other ones floating around. The more conspiracy theories the better, right? Or what  about the possibility that Charles Manson could be engaged to this woman?    Why or how could anyone become so involved with someone like him? I often wonder why someone gets involved with someone so violent in prison for life. The man is 79 and she is 25. He is old enough to be her grandfather. She must hav...

It's early in the morning and once again I've been snored out of bed. After looking around at things on the computer I thought I'd look at the local paper. In our local paper, The Star News, there is a section called The Time Machine. In this regular column they have news from the past. Things from 10 years ago, 25 years ago, 50 years, 75 years and 100 years ago. I get a kick out of things that made the news 100 years ago. Like the one this week.  Could you imagine trying to do this kind of justice in today's world?  I find it very interesting how justice was dealt with in my grandfather's time. Like in one of the old letters written to my grandfather in I think 1919.(I'll post it sometime in the future so you can read it for yourself) In this letter the girl describes a crime in Chicago where a man killed a young girl and hid her body in a coal pile. When she was writing this letter the next day the man was going to be hung. I'm not sure how much time ...

I know it's been a longer time than usual since I posted something. But I couldn't seam to think of anything to write about. I could do something about all the political things going on, but what different things could I write that has not already been said.  I could write about the shooting at that airport, but why.  He's just another young person who didn't see a future for himself and did not want to live so he wanted suicide by cop. For some reason he had a beef with TSA and decided to use that as his excuse to go off the deep end. Seeing he was afraid to be alone in death he wanted to take someone with him. Well he survived so that plan did not go as he had planned.  I wonder how many video games he played? Just asking, so don't get your undies in a bunch. I'm not saying he played allot. But what else do bored young people do now a days when they see nothing for themselves to do.  I could write about the weather. There may not have been the...
