As American wakes up from it's long nightmare; I'm back to writing!

 It has been a long dry spell where poltics over took my daily writing. Wildoats has missed me along with you. I originally wrote most of the story in the third person but then I didn't like the results so I'm in the process of rewriting in the first person. I like that better. A reader can feel and see what I'm seeing as I make my mistakes in real time.

For those that don't recall, since it has been so long since I posted. Wildoats is my horse that protects me, loves and is my best friend. I mostly call him, Pal.  I can talk to him about anything. He easily answers yes by bobbing his head up and down. No, moving it side to side. If he snorts, that means he don't agree with me on a decision I make. A nicker is a call to me. Placing his head on my left shoulder means he either wants loving or he is in whole heartily in with what I'm saying. Some of the other ways he communicates with me is by his ears. Moving back and forth means he is confused and uncertain. His ears laid back and unmoving is a signal of danger.

Hope you are having a great day! Stay safe and talk back, I'm listening!

Wake up America

Trump announced tonight that states will no longer report Covid cases to the CDC but to "His" health Secretary. And he will announce the Covid reporting cases. This can't happen America! He started with  claming "Fake News". That was a lie. He can't remember half the shit he says and then has his team say "That's not what the President meant". Now he wants control of the Covid case numbers! We will be fed bullshit every damn day!!! He wants the American people to think the curve has flattened when it hasn't. He stated at one of his ralleys "We need to slow down the testing". Why, because the only thing he cares about is getting re-elected!!! He doesn't give a shit about the people who have died due to the Virus. "NEVER" has he offered words of comfort for the Doctors, Nurses, Firefighters, Police or you and I. If you watch closely, you will see that Trump is slowly tearing away the very fabric of Democracy to become a Dictator. He admires Putin, Kim Jung whatever from North Korea and until the Covid Pandemic, the Ruler of China. This is not a nightly rant, it's a plea for everyone in America to take notice of what is really going on in the White House. FIGHT BACK AMERICA! post by S.J. Moye 

Nightly rants by my wife- S.J.Moye

Our President is supposed to be the leader of this country. He sends out guidelines for the American people, social distancing, handwashing, etc. The Center for Disease Control later says all Americans should wear  masks. He announces the CDC recommendation that everyone should wear masks. He reports this, then says; "I'm not wearing a mask". His daily newscasts show several advisors standing shoulder to shoulder. By his actions, several Americans are carrying on like there's no Corona Virus.  A President is supposed to set an "Example" for the American people, HE FAILED. So, he is basically telling us; "Do as I say and not as I do".

Rants of my wife- S. J. Moye

If Trump had the power to force a major car company to stop production of vehicles and start making ventilators, why the hell didn't he force other companies to start manufacturing face masks, gloves, gowns and face shields? What comes to my mind is Melania wearing a jacket in 90 degree weather in Texas at a facility holding children seperated frpm their parents that read: I really don't care do you!!!
If the President had put as much effort into PPE for our Medical Staff, First Responders and Police as he is putting into getting the Economy going again, the outcome of this virus would have been diffrent. 

Things happen-sorry about the lack of blogging & oh shit!

The last three months have been hectic for me. First I was writing a lot and rewriting on my books then my computer took a crap. The on switch refused to work. So once I got it on, I refused to turn it off until it locked up. Then when I tried to get it back on, it refused to work.So I spent over a month trying to get it functioning again and retrieve all my writing. That didn't work because I didn't have the money to do it living on a fixed income. I'm only back because a friend of mine lent me his old tower along with a key board that would work with it. I am hoping by January 2019 I can buy me my own computer so I can get back to writing and blogging. Then I will take my old computer to the Geek squad and see if they can recover my past writing so I won't have to  start all over again. For those of you that have problems with your computer, I now understand what a headache that can be. I was stupid and didn't back up my work. A lesson learn the hard way. So if you depend on a computer to write your articles or books, get a back up system that is not part of your daily computer and use it very frequently so you will always have all your hard work available. My book "Saddle Spur" is completely gone. I could rewrite it but I don't want to do it on this computer and take a chance on it failing. When I buy my next computer, I will also buy a back up system that is not part of it. Hopefully, I don't forget and screw that up while I get busy writing and forget to back it up. I hope that things will go the way I plan but you know the rule, "So goes the best plans laid by mice and men". Right now, I have decided to run for Mayor of the small town I live in. So if I win, things will change even more and my writing will be back to what it was before I retired, meaning when the time is available then I will blog and write. I hope you guys are having a good stress free summer. Talk back, I'm listening or will try to listen and comment on your blogs. HAVE A GREAT DAY! 

Understanding does not mean compassion

I hear a lot of people say, "I understand why a lot of people wants to come here for a better life than the life they left behind but we should not allow any more to enter the USA--send them back where they came from." I don't think that is compassionate. These people are trying to better themselves and become productive members of our society. Yes, a few bad elements find their way in among them but we have bad elements home grown right here. Don't blame the whole group for what a few bad guys do and label them all as undesirable. I understand it it political to blame everyone else for our problems so we justify what we do to immigrants. let me make it plain, America would starve to death or do without a lot of food we take for granted because of the migrant workers. We have plenty of food on our tables. Until we have robot harvesters, the only ones that will do the backbreaking work on large farms are the migrate workers. I, myself have worked in the fields growing up and know how hard work it is for such little pay. Barely enough to put food on your own table and gas in your car. Most migrate workers have families they are feeding. That is different you say than the immigrants trying to enter the USA. Yes and No; the USA is a melting pot, like it or not. How would you like it if your forefathers were denied a chance to enter? We are all descendants of those that came earlier, even the native American Indians came into this country from somewhere else. I know I'm rambling but I just wanted to make a point. Will a wall be a solution, some think so. I don't. How long before we  build a wall along the Canadian border? Attempts to isolate America from the rest of the world will not happen. Maybe a hundred years ago it could but today's technology has shrunk the world so much that it is impossible for us not to be involved in the rest of the world. Those that hate the fact that they can no longer control the information that you receive or disseminate to the rest of the world. They are taking steps to do that be closing the Internet like China has. I know some regions hate us and want to destroy us because we stand for freedom and allow other religions to worship the way they please whereas they only want people to believe the way they do, hence deny them to be free or have a future. Anyway, I'm thru rambling for today. In my book series Lightning in the Tunnel the world joins as one after a nuclear war in the Republic of Terra. Is a nuclear war what it is going to take before everyone realizes that we are all human, regardless of our skin color or beliefs. Tolerance should be taught to our children as they grow up and understanding that we are all human. Have a nice day. Talk back, I'm listening.   

Good night Romeo/Juliet

Years ago when my wife and I first met, like most we dated for awhile. I had the habit of putting my right arm around her waist while she placed hers around my waist. Anyway, around the corner from my apartment was the place we met. We would walk home each night stopping at the liquor store on the corner. The young men that owned and ran the store didn't know our names but we were there just about every night on our way back home after a couple of drinks. One day, my soon to be wife went inside and they asked where is Romeo? She told them I was at work and laughed about me being called 'Romeo'. A week or so later, I went into the same store and they asked where Juliet was? My answer was she was working. Every time we went into the liquor store together they would say, "Hi, Romeo and Juliet" wearing a big smile. We never told them our names, we sort of liked being called that because we were in love. After we got married, the last thing we say to each other each night still is these words. "Good night Romeo, I'll see you in the morning light" Good night Juliet, I will see you in the morning light" It is so strange that we have done this for almost twenty years without fail unless we are apart for some reason. Even when we have a little spat, those words are still said.  When we walk, we are still holding each other like young lovers because we are still so much in love. Even though I'm tall and she is less than 5'5; we have the same stride. Have yourself a great day! Talk back. I'm listening for every little sound.
