A Great National Tragedy That Is Slowly Fading From Memory

To this day I can still remember watching JFK’s funeral procession on a little black and white television in my Grandmother’s living room and asking her why the boots were in the stirrups backward on a horse with no rider.

If I hadn’t seen a post from someone else earlier while at work today I would not have remembered what happened on this November day back in 1963.

Pretty Much My Entire Life

One of my earlest memories is from when I was 3 or4, trying to figure out how to adjust the seat on my trycycle.

Honest to God.

Soon after that, I can remembere using one of these,

To lubricate the pedal mechanism in one of these,

So you could say, that am a Natural Born Mechanic.

Hatched and ready to bust some knuckles from the Get Go.

That means I have been turning wrenches way over 50 years now.

45 years at least, since High school.

I even took a Small Engine course in Junior High.

So when I saw this video, I felt every bit of it.

Some days, it’s all I can do just to get out of bed and get dressed but I still have to go to work.

At this point I am literally leaving it in God’s hands.

I’m Awake And I’m Fucking Pissed Off

Apparently I am one of the lucky ones.

Once you Wake Up to the bullshit, you can never UnSee it everywhere around you.

Guy who pick movies apart for things they see very plainly that aren’t true in real life do this all the time. They ruin the movie for those who are watching it to be entertained and hate it when inconsistencies and outright fakery are pointed out while watching it.

Those are the NPC’s who refuse to see what is in front of their faces.

Life turns into those movies when you Wake Up.

I’ve Had This Twice In My Entire Life

I’m pretty sure I stll have relatives on my Mom’s side living in Appalachia, our ancestors there go way, way, way back.

I have ancestors on that side that came here before this place was a country.

BFYTW is in my genetic code.
