A Dream Car

I have been seeking the next car to buy. I have not purchased one in 22 years. Had no need, but now I do so I began my search for an old favorite, the Mustang. The year had to be between 1999 and 2004 as a result of the body style. Here began the criteria in an outline form: Mustang Criteria Color................................No red, blue, yellow, gold, Year..................................1999 - 2004 Prefer................................40th Anniversary In Black Must have...........................The Hood Scoop Preferred...............................40th Anniversary Deluxe #2......................................Premium GT #3......................................Electric Driver's Seat #4......................................Leather Interior The Black one shown on this page really appealed to me on first viewing. Then as I got further into the research I came to rest on the White 2004 in the collage. It happens to be in Dallas, TX(top on my list of favorite state). So now I have a decision(LOL.....that only took the better part of six months)based solely on the appearance of an automobile that pulled in to our station five years ago. You have now determined that I don't really 'jump' into things. All good things happen in their own time. Now I have to secure financing for the aforementioned vehicle or one like it and go wherever it is and bring it on home(that's part of an old song about love)to me. Time, and God willing, there will be my next auto sitting on the driveway or snuggled deep within the confines of the "CAVE" next to a pair of Harleys. Mine to drive at my leisure and finally with the top down. Did I forget that it has to be a convertible. Nothing else will do because I truly don't like cages and then even in the winter I stick my nose out in the wind(sort of like the dog does when the window is down or if they happen to have the joy of riding in the back of the truck)smelling the air and relishing the rush of it in my hair. Well, that's it. Everything I need to say on this topic is finished for tonight. I'm certain if things come together the way I would like them to I shall be posting something on this topic again. For now I pray you blessings and happiness in life. In Christ's Love, Preacher.

One Marine's Response, to Sen. Feinstein's Gun Control Proposal: One U.S. Marine was more than a little displeased with California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s draconian gun control proposal, which includes an assault weapons ban and provisions on handguns and even “grandfathered weapons.” The letter, written by U.S. Marine Joshua Boston, was titled “No ma’am” and was first posted on CNN iReport on Dec. 27. The letter has since gone viral and has been shared extensively on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, as it seemingly has resonated with a segment of the American population. Read Boston’s entire “No ma’am” letter below and then share it with others: Senator Dianne Feinstein, I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one. I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America. I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man. I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public. We, the people, deserve better than you. Respectfully Submitted, Joshua Boston Cpl, United States Marine Corps 2004-2012 I copied and pasted this from a post on FB. I believe it is relevant to the present danger we face in America. Our country is facing the largest attack it has ever experienced. This is an attack on our founding fathers, our constitution, and the liberty so many have fought and died to preserve. Each of us that loves this land must do what we can to tell others what is happening. Joshua, although not as eloquent as some, has stated his case succinctly and truthfully. He is not alone. He is not the first nor will he be the last. We all have a duty to perform. President Kennedy put it well in words we can all understand, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." I share this and all the above with my whole heart, spirit, mind, and patriotic fervor. In Christ's Love, Preacher.
