How come?


How come it seems so hard to please anyone? How come I can't be patient in things pertaining my young ones? How come it seems my wife is always upset with me?

I cant answer these things, maybe someone can for me. Has anyone driven 900 miles in one day to make a delivery on time? How come I enjoy sleeping on the side of the road? How come my dream vehicle is a Peterbilt 379 exhd with flattop sleeper? How come 125000 mile in a year seems like a good pay day? How come I still dream of driving? How come driving soothes a soul like mine? How come I cant seem to get any better? How come i must live with my pain?

When I wake up I must fight myself to get out of bed, not due to depression but do to pain. I just want to wake to a day with no pain and a giving heart that will be thankful for that day. Why do doctors always think that the best medicine is pharmaceutical. Why does the Government is willing to take my money freely, but when I need it they fight me tooth and nail?

Just remember if you are reading this on a whim and just came across this then thank you for reading and leave a comment and answer a few questions...... Musings from a Fat Man

Blood Test and such!

I went and did a blood test today! Oh fun you say. My arm is sore I also had one yesterday (in the same arm). Well i have had allot of time to think about thing lately and the state of the economy comes to mind. Is it stronger then we think? Or is it worse? can we all be hiding our money away from all the turmoil. This happens as a people we hide money and start paying off our debt! The price of goods go down and people just deal with the bare essentials. They go and buy a car only if it makes sense not because they love the color.
The United States will get through this. Whether you are a Dem or Repub. it makes sense that both ends of the government screwed the pooch on this one. If you look at areas where there is a low unemployment rate (Utah being one) it is because it is a diverse economy. Not one market or good dominates the region. Utah has many places looking to come here. we have Hershey chocolates coming in Ogden. we have in-n-out coming to draper and other cities in northern Utah. California just reported record unemployment rate (only Oregon and Michigan have higher rates). Sometimes people take themselves out of the job market by not excepting something that is "below" them.
Well a rant by the fat man is done!
