To hell?

Not a lot of things scare me but rattlesnakes are right up there with grizzly bears and cancer. Might be irrational but I don't want them living too close to me.

I doubt I will see any rattlesnakes or grizzly bears around here, so I am safe from that, but it is too late for cancer.

It is a matter of speed. Hit em fast and where they can't see you. When I have a gun, I just blow them to pieces.

Happy day after Father's Day Nor Cal.

I had a lousy father's day, as I loaned out my car to a friend so he could take his family to Lost lake for his girlfriend's 9 year old daughter's birthday party. On the way back, he runs a red light at 60 mph and gets pulled over. They find he is intoxicated so they arrest him, and impound my car. Now I am scrambling to get the $743 it will take to get it out today.

His girlfriend is trying to get $300 from his bank account to help, and my church is going to help, but I don't know how much they are willing to pay. I can only help with $50 as I only have $108 in my bank to last until the 1st.

Lesson learned, never loan out your car/truck. On top of the DUI, he also had a suspended license, and an outstanding warrant from LA County!

Yeah, trying to be nice, and help the family, and now I am racing to keep my car. Sometimes life just rears up and smacks you up side the head. LOL.
