Slipping & Slidding Is Here

We finally got some decent snow and it kind of caught me with my pants down. Had to bring up my equipment after the storm but I am ready now. Not much snow this time but I heard more than last year. Next week warm temperatures again and expect much to melt.

Natalia got to see Santa again and this one is always the best looking one. Santa now knows what Natalia wants and we are now just waiting for that day. I am looking forward to a few board games this Christmas and time on my game table downstairs.

Went sledding with Natalia in town and it was a great place. Now waiting for more snow for more fun. She doesn't mind bringing up the sled on each run herself. Soon we will upgrade to the jumps! Last night Natalia had her school Christmas recital and I will say she is very popular. May not be a good thing. We will see as the years go by.

My last Christmas party with my brothers and sisters of the Navy and it was probably the funnest White Elephant party. A few more drills left and I already know I will regret the decision but I cannot continue to sacrifice Natalia and allow my ex to use my service as a bad thing.

With that said, winter is here and now we will see how it hits us. The season of fun times on the 330 is here. The geniuses coming up not knowing how to drive in the slippery roads and/or put on chains on. I am fortunate to work at Wal-Mart and see those trying to buy chains with no clue and even argue with me as if I knew nothing. I already have had it from a few customers and it is funny to know if they need these chains they will not know how to put them on or even if they will fit. But I also see them on the side of the road as I drive by. Oh the fun! But in a serious note. Please drive careful and be polite and warn other drivers of hazards. Something most locals do.

We see again North Korea being the enemy in the media. When will this stop? It wont as long as we are supplying South Korea with weapons. We must make their neighbors the real evil in the world to sell more weapons. Evil? I love my country and served it. But disgusted it is us overthrowing governments and causing turmoil all over this planet. Using un-manned drones for killings. We quickly forget not to long ago North Korea was going to kill us! What happened with that story?

Snow?

The rains brought water to all our creeks and we headed out on a hike to check them out and play outside. I will say that no matter how old you are, you will throw rocks into the water. Tomorrow we expect some snow but I do not have high hopes for anything decent.

Santa made his way across the mountain during our tree lighting ceremony and Natalia got to tell him what she wants him to bring to her. I have to say this year from what I have seen the town has been creating some great activities and doesn't seem to have costed anything. I hope to see this again net year. Natalia saw Santa and gave him her list and a picture.

Picked up Natalia this morning with some very minor bruising to her left eye. I found it curious why her grandmother was dropping her off for the first time. Of course nothing I can do as all will be denied and make claims nothing is there and I am not about to drag Natalia through the system when she can be at school with her friends here and having fun. Not the first time I have injuries on her and just denied. I do hope Natalia is not forced to lie to me on how she gets hurt.

I found myself again in court this week. Seems monthly I am dragged to court over nothing. Proposals from my ex that are never serious or ridiculous and just withdrawn. All this problems of abuse while I was deployed and the emergency rushed to push this through the courts while I was deployed and still getting dragged. Now my ex has claimed I have no insurance and has filed more false paperwork to county offices. Those accusations where quickly fixed and closed as usual and I got some help through the county and answers. Sadly the system is made for honest people but dishonest people take advantage of it. They found it amazing I now carry 3 carriers of insurance for myself and Natalia. Due to the ObamaCare laws it has become a free for all for health insurance companies to sign up people with no consent. They are free to force care in people with no verification of other coverage. The problem not solved and may never get solved with my employer Wal-Mart as they simply don't care and violated their own policies to force more insurance on me. The county after helping me deal with Wal-Mart for almost 2 hours are still surprised they do not care about the law or their own policies.

I want to say I have been a bit surprised in the final uprising of people against certain actions and things lately and creating a change. We saw that with the elections and slowly seeing more and more people talk about Ferguson and that outrage and clear agenda by this administration to create racial tensions for votes. I will say the Ferguson incident was a justified shoot from all the evidence but now we see the choking of a person causing his death and no actions taken. This latest incident to me was clearly not justified. Minimum amount of forced should have been exercised and clearly from video footage the suspect was in control and also another officer was on scene that could have aided to control the suspect with less deadly harm. Instead the other Sergeant choose to sit there and do nothing as your typical supervisor position. Why no charges against the supervising Sergeant? Clearly not on the racial agenda because she was of a certain color that doesn't fit the agenda. That should be the outrage.

On a good note, now I am seeing the so many point out the bad things on GMOs that seems Monsanto is starting to feel the hurt.

I do not watch many movies but was tempted to see what was done with the obscure characters of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I will say I found the movie entertaining and continue the story line "Hollywood" has been creating. A few hints as usual to future movies and characters. Howard the Duck movie?

The new trailer for the Terminator Genisys movie is out.

I'm A Spy Working at Walmart!

Well my deposition finally done and no more stalls and must say my ex wife is very delusional. It ended with her attorney making accusations that my father is not only a possible felon but also works for the CIA. He also hinted that I to am a spy due to my deployment. Next time I will see her tie me somehow to being a terrorist and a spy working as a cashier at Walmart. You can't make this stuff up. Simply amazing the accusations with no proof and no consequences. I find it insulting that her attorney is going after my character. I have in the past sacrificed much to represent the United States and Puerto Rico in the Olympics, honest working class with a college degree and even sacrificed myself serving in the armed forces. Find me anyone out there with even a fraction of this.

Work is going well and I like my new area. A change of pace with always something different. Live Christmas trees are here and I like working around them. Black Friday I will say was a bust with many items still left behind.

Christmas getting closer and all decorations up and the spirit still there. Natalia saw Santa for the first time this year at the tree lightning at Lake Arrowhead and I will say it was rather nice. A nice short parade of the Fife & Drums band followed by Santa on an old fire truck. It was very nice to see the American spirit showing. This week Natalia will tell Santa what she wants and see our town's tree lightning ceremony.

Back to reading history books and now moving on to the Civil War. I am sure there are hundreds of titles and I will like to read a few to get a real sense of the causes. I am more interested in the causes and actual leading events than the battles themselves. I am getting a sense it was not about slaves and that Lincoln seems to not have been as strong and decisive as made to be nowadays. A president coming from "nowhere" and very worried about making decisions.

In the media we still see Ferguson and all its problems. No one wants to see the truth and be fed the racial agenda from Al Sharpton and the gang. Amazing to me people allow themselves to be used like this. More amazing MSNBC pays this guy for his actions. All to make the news while people are harmed and property lost. To continue this we now see another hit piece on Bill Cosby. Hmmmm! Lets make him look bad since he is not on board with the racial agenda. Sadly some still live to this stereotype and I have been witness to it first hand working retail. Please do not act like this and follow the stereotype.

By the way, whatever happen to the Ebola epidemic in the U.S. that was going to kill tens of thousands? I feel sorry for those sent to West Africa to set up shop to transport those infected and seems they are just sitting there away from their families for no reason. I can bet they don't have decent living arrangements. Nice tents and pissing tubes! Happy Holidays from us!
