I'm in my hate all trumpublicans and repigs mood this morning all are welcome to join in

It used to be a hobby this hate now its a way of life. Besides the obvious reasons since Regan now trumpig why we hate these pigs. A nice woman who rents a property off of my wife. She is scared she tends bar and is cut down to two days week. Her ex is in the hole on child support long before the pandemic , I told her relax yesterday eviction is not even a option. I told her I’m scared it’s getting worse I may be laid off again. Who knows what will come I worry for my family , and people are dying sick and suffering and terrified. And the repigs in senate takes vacation.

Reganomics I give a shit how Wall Street is doing. My wife jokingly says I’m left of Karl Marx and I am bread for the people. For forty years the middle or working class has been shit on. The 401k myth the little people can get in on Wall Street shit get in and get fucked. And yes my wife does invest for us I do not get involved, I’m a defined union pension knucklehead little people. And I worry that pension will collapse in a Wall Street quagmire I saw that happen with my old mans steel works pension robbery he received pension not as much after feds assumed it . Hoping with Mr Biden and Mrs Harris we go left in this country.

Bill zollars board of governors usps same pos yellow freight that destroyed Roadway express

Talking to old teamster that went postal to work he’s a vet as I am. Great guy he was in Lebanon doing barracks bombing he lucked out he was on hospital ship him he had him infection he was part of unit that caught it Usmc 1/8. I found out zollars has his hands in the post office. Roadway and yellow freight , yellow freight has been fucking me since Preston red star Express and Roadway teamster outfits. Yellow would acquire a company a strong outfit especially Roadway and they bleed them dry. Today roadway and yellow are Yrc freight it’s like a brother and sister screwed and had a idiot kid.

Zollars and yellow freight management ran roadway outfit into the ground before merger roadway was in black they owned all terminals equipment pension was always paid. Then scum zollars yellow roadway they merged spend spend spend Bush depression hits and the only way they survived was union employee wages giveback 15% pre taxed in MOU for 12 years now. No pension wages are under what they should be glad I walked went to one last union LTL carriers paying into full defined pension. Dollar bill zollars should be in prison not running the postal service where is the fucking justice. No wonder my meds are like 8 days late from VA. IM not the only one getting it in neck I’m calling my old local doc tomorrow see if I can get 30 day supplies. Ok I’m done bitching I’m just out of Paxil my happy pills

A ramble over a 76 Gibson explorer our son is playing it as I have coffee I'm smiling

It came yesterday via ups I did not know my wife knew. She asked me to hang close as she knew what was up
we were having package delivered. And she got notice on her phone I phone and I went to porch and in box. Opening it in case was my brothers explorer and a letter from my sister in law. She remarried in 96 my brother passed in 89 no condolences needed it’s cool he did it to himself booze and Harleys do not mix. She in letter wrote I understand that my 15 year old nephew is quite the guitarist as you and Scott were at that age and I’m sure he will play this guitar as Scott would want him to enjoy it.

So we plugged it in and it’s fine I changed the thirty year old strings and did set up. It has been sitting last time I touched this guitar was 89 it’s not in bad shape slight patina on humbuckers no big deal. She started living again in 96 after she remarried to a fine guy last time I saw her was 2017 when I was up in Erie in hotel going on rest on union line haul we had dinner I called her to let her know. I was coming out of Chicago heights to Erie terminal to bed. So she picked me up at hotel off peach street and we went for Erie Pennsylvania Chinese food, the point of the Chinese food is I never had a General tso’s that I didn’t like I love it that and veggie lo mein.

I was filling our son in on history of this explorer and how Scott got it. I said he traded a 73 510 Datsun for the explorer. It was 84 your aunt and uncle had to get married reason was because chad your cousin was seven months away from showing up. So I take leave out Bragg to attend wedding and as a wedding present I sign over my Datsun to Scott and $100 a shotgun wedding present that’s life. I could not have a car at Bragg I wasn’t married and only a PFC in rank. So the newly married couple is set two cars a Chevy Vega and the rusted out Datsun living in duplex working in steel mill dad got him a job.

I come home like 85 on leave I caught PCs to west Germany and Scott picks me up at Pittsburgh airport in a Chevy station wagon. I’m like dude family car cool laughing drinking beer as we head up Route 66. And he’s telling me how his band is doing well they’re playing Saturday nights bars college clubs in state college and Indiana Pennsylvania. We’re close we’re gonna make it big bro. Scott was always a dreamer. And I remember drinking beers and smoking terrible skunk weed in Chevy station wagon on that cold snowy day as he drove then a good buzz was needed it was youth , Scott said to me you will have a place in the band after you discharged, so I tell our son we get to their house and he is showing me this Gibson explorer awesome guitar.

He said stick I traded craig straight up over the Datsun he needed car for his wife and I loved his explorer. So a ramble as I drink coffee and do laundry linen day here. The boys had friends spend the night ten year old and friend are x box one at moment. Fifteen year old is jamming with friend and sixteen year old is playing some game on his laptop this guitar makes me feel good and remember good times. And in 2020 in these times I’ll take good memories be safe all.

I'm smiling read letter from my uncle who moved to Vietnam

After he retired from steel mill he was living in small town western Pennsylvania. Where we all grew up after his wife passed he started traveling and he decided to move to Vietnam about year half ago. And he’s doing ok financially he has his pension and in letter he says they have kool menthol cigarettes and miller beer.

And he added all humor it’s much nicer than the last time 67-68 13 months as riflemen in Marine corps. He rents a nice place rides his bicycle to market and the beach. He has friends another former American vet and numerous Vietnamese friends and what makes me smile is a bar he drinks at. Is owned by a former NVA officer and this is funny the bar is frequented by former Arvin and NVA soldiers.

He wants my brothers and I and the boys to come and visit after a vaccine is available. He wants to take us fishing in this river he says the fish our huge. The Vietnamese are peaceful and loving he said in town he lives in their so respectful to him and as he’s I think he 71. He even attends mass at times catholic service. Reading his letter I’m very happy for him he deserves happiness.
