The Miracle Tank

[Fin]

One part of our saga is coming to a close today. My mom’s house got power this morning, so we are headed back to what is left of Lake Charles!

In other strange news, there is a tiger running loose near my house. A wallaby running around another part of the city. Neither from the zoo! And we thought reef tanks are an expensive hobby!

Sounds like ur in Florida!

Hmmmm...... blue with black - add yellow and you can make it into a hippo tang

Yep, you read that right. It’s been spotted on a trail cam taking chickens and it also got into a scuffle with a dog...the dog didn’t make it. 4 houses down from me.

We have them around us. Saw one on the way home from decatur il. Between Riverton and Mechanicsburg il next to a cornfield on 72. Its the largest cat I've seen outside a zoo.

Nice tee and face covering, if any girls ask his story is " girls, this guy that picked on me was like 18 and twice my size, I didn't know I was going to break my wrist from punching him so hard when I knocked him out!" ;)

We have them again here too. Trail cam pics verify on House Mountain. About 3 miles from our house.

He popped off at the orthopedic office and I reminded him they could do a body cast in the same appointment. The nurse was sweet and said "yep" and btw, your mom was right about everything she told you to do. She has 5 boys at home.

Or....After running in to save the kids from a burning orphanage he broke his arm from carrying all the sweet little children.

Here is an example when a child does something and the parent, or parents, do what is natural. Parent. My better half being a bed side nurse in the PICU sees both sides of this when parents parent and some don't. It is, well, rather sad because you can connect that to a lot of the larger issues today in the world not related to C19.

Parents parent.
Families support.
Politicians govern.

So much wasted energy is spent on things that are non productive such as protesting on a field, playing multiple anthems when we are trying to be united, half in the locker room, half on the field...yet not one dang dime is spent on a commercial to educate listening to authority or how police and communities can interact and respect one another.

Sorry to get side ways here but it all to me at least fits together. Parents and families parent, teach, and love. When that doesn't happen we end up in this mess. And the simple fact "he popped off (which I am guessing wasn't even probably that bad)" and a normal corrective action or talk probably resolved the issue.

I'm sure I'm making this a bigger issue than need be and I also threw in Thurs.NFL (which I didn't watch due to my own protest of politics and sports) but in my crazy brain it all seems to zero back into the family and missing values by some which no one wants to address...

I'm chit chatting and I probably shouldn't be.

Edit: I'm going to go drink some Kool-Aide and not the kind that Rev Jim Jones offers...
