Some of my goals and / or resolutions are as follows: 1. Win a substantial jackpot from any lottery, I don’t want it all, just enough to retire comfortably. 2. Live long enough to collect my social security benefits in full. I have approximately two years to go and I want to prove to our political entities that I can survive without the best medical benefits and didn’t have to vote myself a pay raise every session to achieve it. 3. Be nicer to animals. It has come to my attention that Hekler has said that I’ve been mean to him with some of my comments on his posts. So I will try and Pat him on the head, take him for walks and surprise him with treats on a regular basis. 4. Get out more often. By that I mean to take more road trips to places I have yet to see and food to try. All work and no play makes life a series of reruns where it seems the remote is out of order.  |

...TUH...that's a pretty lofty reading list you've got there. All my best to you in getting through it. I hope you are also successful in refraining for soda for a month too. I think that if I was ever obliged to read some of that, I might need to keep a rubber mallet handy with which to knock myself back into awakeness at regular intervals. What would I like to do over the next year??? I guess I wouldn't mind taking a trip down to see Hey Larry after he wins the lottery, ride a donkey and prospect for coal while I'm there. I'd sure like to find more ways to keep myself occupied either by doing more volunteer work or by taking on another hobby job for a matter of days over the month. Too much time on your hands can give you a beating. I'd also like to get back into the books. I go for a while without reading and then I'll binge read for a few months and disappear from most other areas. I also would like to continue with my inventing. I seem to have a vague memory of some kind of wonderful boon to mankind that I think I dreamt about last night. My dreams usually have to be impressive for me to remember them at all so I think I'm onto something if I can recall what the item was. I probably couldn't tell you what the idea was anyhow because that would make my patent claim more difficult to prove if someone like Thomas Edison swooped down and stole my idea and brought it to market first. I'm looking right at you here, Hey Larry.  |

...in addition... Over the course of many tears it has come to my attention that there is a severe shortage of prime northern Canada FRESH moose meat available to our moose aficionados and epicureans. ...maybe this was my dream??? |

...yeah, it was over the course of many YEARS but the tears were there too. I would feel so sad for our neighbors to the south that were deprived of the ability to eat genuine moose meat from a sustainable resource. |

I also enjoy a good ghost story but I'm especially interested in ghost towns. When I was much younger, I would visit this place called a library and take out books on lost villages, ghost towns and early settlements in Ontario. I'd chart a course and for a few weeks over the course of the warmer weather, tour the back roads across the province searching for remnants of populated areas that faded out due to remoteness, railroad re-routing or financial strain. Scenic drives through small "hamlets" along nearly deserted roads and camping where you can or sleeping along the side of the road. I was always interested in shipwrecks and loved the articles printed in the National Geographic magazines. For those of you that read Hardy books in your childhood and even for Hey Larry (who was particularly drawn to the Nancy Drew series) there is an author by name of Clive Cussler (writing similar to Sun Tzu) that has issued a number of novels for the adult fans of Frank and Joe. Adventure stories with a little taste of true nautical history stretched into a James Bond-like tale. I have too much time on my hands. |

TUH  Happy New Year! Do keep exercising. As you age, you'll appreciate being able to function "sorta" like you did, if you do. (exercise)As for me, I'm going to try and keep myself going this winter by walking a lot and doing light toning stuff. Gotta get ready for the spring crab fishing season, when I'll have to start hauling crab pots, again. I'm reading fantasy fiction. (LOTR type stuff)....Write on....  |

Boy I’ll tell you what….Hekler should set his goals a little higher than coal. https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/crater-diamonds-state-park |

Here’s just ONE EXAMPLE of the type of inventions Hekler is talking about…..oh, and he’s also looking for investors. Plain toast is bland. To help liven it up, this toaster from the Vermont Novelty Toaster Corporation released in 2014 is customized using a photo of your face that guides a special metal plate. The result is perfectly crisp toast that you can then use to butter yourself up. |

Speaking of ghost towns, this is one that I have visited on a few occasions during family vacations when I was growing up. https://www.monocounty.org/places-to-go/bodie/ |
