 I do not always remember much about living in Fort Worth.  But I do remember our house.  The church went too.  The railroad tracks behind the house.  How the jets flew over.  I remember living at the house.  It had two glass pane doors inside.  In the living room.  In the den, my Dad would practice his drafting.  While my Mom taught at school.   My brother and me would play in the backyard.  We would go and watch the jets as they flew over.  F-16s and B-52s taking off from the base.  Once in a while a train would go across the tracks.  I remember going to Chuck-E-Cheese, our neighbor Nicole.   One morning I woke up.  The tree had collapsed in the front yard.   Thats the only way to describe it.  I walked into the bedroom and I had a start.  I saw the tree leaning against the window.  I can still remember the earthen smell and the bark smell.  It was both scary an...

 Hi, how are you today?  Doing well I hope.  I wanted to write about something special to me.  I believe that Jesus is a friend.  Jesus is our only true ally.  Friend.  Savior.  A person can read all the spiritual literature they want to.  But never understand that Jesus means friend.  That is what Jesus really is.  Jesus died, and on the third day he rose again.  Now, he sits at the right hand of the Father.  He will return just as he left.   For me, Jesus Christ went from a curse word.  To a friend.  He has always been there for me.  Jesus means so much to me now.  Anymore, thats all there really is to talk about.  UFOs are interesting.  But how do they know they are really detecting UFOs.  They could not detect Jesus at the twin towers.  So, there are things that exist that have not been detected on a radar system.   They say Jesus reigns.  But if He reign...

 Hi.  I am worn out like everyone else.  But we need to keep going.  We need to continue to wear masks and social distance.  These are the safety measures provided us to make it through the COVID pandemic.  The CDC is the authority yes, but that authority has already taught us what we need to do in order to make it through the pandemic. I woke up this morning and felt compelled to write "continue to wear masks and social distance". Over Memorial Day weekend.  My brother and two sisters went to San Marcos for the weekend.  I think they had a  nice adventure.  The first picture they showed on there Facebook, it looked like nothing was there.  But as they went along they showed pictures of the river, and more than one coffee place.  William, Elizabeth, and Meagan have several portrait photos of themselves.  They were smiling and happy.

https://fb.watch/5DDJqMy1PJ/   This is a video of Joan Rivers discussing Israel.  I fully empathize with her sentiments.  I like her descriptive manner of speaking.  She uses History to back up her argument.  It is clear, the people around her are rude.  But she remains calm, and very polite.  She is at the airport and it looks like she is ready to leave.  Yet, she remains polite.  I would have liked to have met Joan Rivers.  I #istandwithisraelforever 

  I am including a picture of a mallard duck in the backyard.  I made sure to feed the duck.  Not sure where it came from.  Nor, how it got into the back yard.

  Rhetorical Writing Triangle I wanted to run an advertising campaign.  To test out the features of pinterest business mode .  I chose this Rhetorical Writing Triangle to advertise.  The campaign has generated 61 clicks.  It is clear, I do not know what I am doing.  But I am interested in learning so I could help out and maybe make some money.  It is clear, many people want to learn about Rhetorical Writing.  Yet, do they even teach it in school?  I have no idea.  I was home schooled.  But I did attend Christian Liberty Academy.  I remember some of there Grammar involved Essay writing.  Book reports too. 

Packing The U.S. Supreme Court: 13 Justices from 9. This article is about the potential to pack the Supreme Court.  By raising the number of Justices from 9 to 13.  The total number would allow the President to appoint more justices than any in history. This cup is Joey's.  I like that verse.  It is from the Psalms.  

 My Earliest Memories With My Dad     My earliest memories with my Dad from our time in Springtown.  I remember my Dad's Kawasaki C1000.  He would ride the trash out to the front in it.  I also remember seeing him do work in the oil fields.  One time, we went and had a picnic.  That was with Mom, and my brother.  We went in his company pickup truck.  I also remember his green pickup truck as well.  The Volkswagen Rabbit.  He would work on it from time to time.  I can still hear the clatter clatter of the diesel engine.  Or, of Dad preparing toast before he took us to church.       In Fort Worth.  My memories there are different.  It was after my Dad got laid-off from the oil fields.  My Dad was training for the Aero Space Industry.  He would also watch my brother David and me while we played in the backyard.  One time, we were digging for worms, and I found a coiled snake....

    Today, I mowed the lawn.  It was hot today.  Did not matter.  I had to get it done.  This was because it is going to storm all weekend.  I also work tomorrow.  The back yard is the most difficult part to mow, because it is fairly big.  Not a big deal.  Max, he loves the backyard.  It has plenty of room for him to run.  The front lawn is also challenging.  I mow it in sections.  There is a part near the gate on the left side of the house.  I am never sure how to mow that part, so I mow it in a triangle.  Then the front part of the front lawn, I mow it in a rectangle.  This away, I can get it mowed quicker.  It is my Dad's technique.  The front lawn is separated by the driveway.  I mow the right side the quickest, because it is the smallest.  Just a couple of strips.  Then, done.   A picture of Max, and the backyard     This picture shows Max.  Over to...

  My Earliest Memories With My Mom  By Eric Poppy  5/13/2021     My earliest memories with my Mom I recall them like this.  I remember sitting in the car for instance, going from Springtown, Texas, to Shreveport, Louisiana.  Sitting in the back seat.  I can remember my brother being in the car.  So, it was after 1985.  I could see the difference in the soil the moment we crossed the state line.  Or, my Mom going into 7/11 and buying a drink.  A big gulp.  Tea or diet coke.  She would always give me and David a sip.  Or, when my Mom made a Mickey Mouse cut sandwich for me.  Watching Andy Griffith or Little House on the Prairie.       I do not have many pictures from this era.  But when I find some, I will upload them.  The pictures give proof of what happened.  Like they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words".  The pictures also give something visual.     ...

My Introduction By Eric McCarty     This photo includes me: My brothers and nephew. along with my brothers, and my nephew.  My brother David on the left works in transportation.  My brother William, center, is a Marine set to separate and return home.  Both have done service.  My nephew, Jacob, has grown so much since this picture was taken.  I think we just returned from hunting on the farm.  We did something on the farm that day.     I was born in Wichita Falls, Texas.  My earliest memories come from Springtown, Texas.  Over in Parker County.  I can still remember the yard, the tree in the backyard, the house, the spider infested shed.  I also remember a dog house.  Andy was the name of my Mother's Cocker Spaniel.  One day, I was out playing and I heard and saw an airplane fly overhead.  I remember thinking, "It would be neat to see a jet".       In the summer of 1988 my parents mo...
