Living in Fort Worth

 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 and sad.  The tree coming up made it so we had to get some help with our plumming.  Our water was out for two weeks as a plumber worked on our piping.  We have home videos of us celebrating Easter as well.  I remember swimming lessons too.  How each week we would go while we lived in Fort Worth.  This was in 1988 and 1989.  Right before my family moved to Everett, Washington.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...
