Nebraska and back
Jul 10^th, 2008, 11:52am

Well i made the trip to Nebraska and back. My Grandfather had a mini stroke while we were there, but he's doin' all right now. We went tubin' down the platte River and Pa got his legs so sunburnt they retained water and locked up the mucles to where he can't walk at times. He's now on steroids to get ride of that problem and should be ok in a few days. Got a new Idea for payin' off college while out there and I've now contacted Union Pacific about co-op programs. I'm lookin' at a mechanics job in Grand Island NE, electricians job in North Platte, NE, or a on train crew member out of Denver, CO. all of them are 40,000+ a year jobs with the crew job possibly makin' 75,000 in a few years. we'll see if they want to work with me or not. If not its back to lookin' for and armed officer job.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Back to top	I have now waved goodbye to the chipped mug of capless and corporate-logoed biros and rollerballs on my desk, and in their place the Cross resides alone, a writing weapon to be taken seriously, a latter-day Excalibur (though mightier, obviously, because it's a pen) that I shall wield daily in my tireless quest for legible, joined-up truth.
