It wasn't so much of a BIG Goal that was Needed to Be Done but Helping People Daily Thru My Entire Life. Simply Making the World a Better Place To Live. That Was The Lesson.
Since I Did Not Die at Age 19... I've held Many Jobs that Made a Difference... and I Joined AA where the Opportunity Arose to Do 12th Step Service... and Now that I'm Retired, I Can Write my Blog to Help People Learn How to Live... and Learn History... and Have Fun Printing Drawings to Color... It's a Wonderful World...
My Jobs Included: Working as a Clerk in an Art Supply Store. I Helped People Buy Art Supplies and Gave Advice on How to Use What They Bought. Sometimes I Gave Bad Advice but In General, I Made the World a Better Place to Live...
Then I Became a Draftsman in a Computer Company. We Made Machines that Helped Doctors Store their Patient's Charts. That's a Useful Idea... and Every Doctor Now Uses a Computer to Store Patient's Records.
Then I designed Equipment for the US Air Force. Helping to Defend the Country.
Then I Delivered Pizza at Domino's... Helping Hungry People... Many Couldn't Leave the House... My Work Was Especially Useful During a Snowstorm...
Then I Sold Electronic Equipment at Radio Shack. Helping People Solve Their Tech Problems. Our Store had a LOT of Retired Engineers that Could Give Accurate Technical Advice. I Learned from Those Old Men.
Then I worked at The Welfare Department Helping Homeless People Live Indoors... and Get Food and Medicine... and Find a Job...

Now that I'm Retired... I Spend my Time Writing a Blog... Hopefully I Can Use this Platform to FIGHT BRAINWASHING by Republicans... Fox "News" Has A Mind Control CULT that Believes LIES...
I Know What it’s Like to Be Dead...
Recently I Had a Colonoscopy. The Anesthetic used was propofol ( the same Drug that Killed Michael Jackson) – I remember in the Operating Room the Nurse said “Roll Over” and then Instantly I was in the Recovery Room Wondering IF I Had Had a Colonoscopy. So I asked… and She Said The Procedure was Over… and Would I Like a Cup of Coffee?
That’s What I Think Death is Like… Except no one brings you Coffee When You Wake Up because You Never Wake Up…
You Can Do It! You Can WAKE THE F*CK UP!
Did You Know that Fox "News" Was Caught Intentionally LYING and Had to Pay $787.5 Million Dollars? OH! You Didn't Know That? Because they Didn't Tell You that Fact ON FOX NEWS! Every OTHER TV News Station Covered that Story Except FOX... Surprise! They Lied By OMISSION! Keeping this News SILENT...

My Near Death Experience. In 1974 My Friends and I Went Backpacking at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. One Day We ate LSD and Peyote and Smoked some Marijuana... Then we went Mountain Climbing...
Since We had a Lot of Extra Energy and Courage, We climbed up a Chimney... a crack in the granite rock where a person can Shimmy Up... I've never done that Before or After that Day. But That was a Special Day... Tripping!
and I Slipped IN! I Was Swimming Out of Control in the Raging Waters... The River Forced Me to the Bottom of the Pool... and then I GAVE UP... I RELAXED AND ACCEPTED DEATH.
and then the River Pushed me Up to The Surface at a Spot Where I Could Climb Out. I walked back to the Campsite, got into my sleeping bag and stayed there for The Rest of the Day... Safe and Warm...

Hey... I believe that there is a Reason I Didn't Die that Day... I was Spared so I Could Accomplish some Unfinished Business... I Don't Know Exactly WHAT That Business IS... So I Just DO Everything As If It Was Important!
Hidden in Yosemite National Park’s peaceful northwest corner, Hetch Hetchy Valley is a treasure worth visiting in all seasons. In spring, two of North America’s tallest waterfalls plummet spectacularly over thousand-foot granite cliffs. With its towering falls and dramatic domes, many have compared Hetch Hetchy’s grandeur to the more well-known Yosemite Valley. From early spring through late fall, visitors have easy access to a vast wilderness filled with high-country lakes, streams, and wildlife. Snowy winter days give adventurous visitors a chance to explore on skis or snowshoes.
I also enjoy singing songs and Playing the Guitar... This is My Latest Effort... a SATIRE of "LODI" By Creedence Clearwater Revival...
"Oh Lord, Stuck in Ukraine Again...
Just about a Year Ago,
Vlad was Setting Out from Old Moscow...
Seeking to Bring Chernobyl, Back into the USSR...
The War Got Bad, The War Got Worse... I
Guess You Know it's True...
Pravda, The Russian People Got Screwed...
If I Only Had a Ruble, For Every Soldier Dead...
I could buy a Tractor and Start Me a Communal Farm...
But Vladimir is a Nutcase, He wants me to Go to the Front!
Oh Lord Stuck in Ukraine Again...
Just Like in Afghanistan, we are Doomed to Bad News...
When the Babushkas Rise Up... It's time to Run Away!...
Oh Lord, Stuck in Ukraine Again... "

World peace is achievable in the simplest of ways…. I wish I knew who deserves credit for this experiment:
A university professor posed a challenge to his students. Each of them had a balloon with their name. The balloons would fall from the ceiling and they would have 5 minutes to find theirs. If everyone found the one with their name, they won... if not, they lost.
Although they tried with all their energy to find them, no one succeeded. The teacher put the balloons back and told them, "When you catch a balloon, give it to its owner". The test took less than 3 minutes to complete.
The teacher finished by saying, "Happiness is like these balloons. If each of us looks only for our own, we will never find it. But if we look for others', we will also find ours." Exactly the same happens with teamwork in companies. If you help others achieve their goals, others will do the same with you.

On Mother's Day, I was at an AA Meeting in Bidwell Park, Chico, Ca... and People were sharing again and again and again about how much they loved their mothers... and I aid: My Mother Drank Herself to Death... and that's why I'm Here today... to make sure I do not drink myself to death... and there was silence... and the mood of the meeting changed... for the better... FYI: Sunday Morning in the Spring, Summer and Autumn is an EPIC AA Meeting... at the Campfire Council Ring...
