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.

Rhetorical Writing Triangle

  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. 

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...

I Did Not Mean

 To make my last post about politics. All I wanted to do was share the story about me, and my friend Scott and Steve who had an incredible adventure helping my Dad with his car.  Instead, I delivered a rant like no other.  Sure, I included some history.  But not as much as I wanted to.  I get much more from reading history, than I do from following politics.  But I still just wanted to lay out how I feel about things.  Especially, considering the vaccine.  Even discussing the vaccine has been rendered political.  People, it was Trump who released the vaccine.  Nobody should be forced to get the vaccine.  But people should consider getting the vaccine.  When you consider the source, Trump, you realize that the vaccine is probably ok.  If it was the mark of the beast as you call it, then you wouldn't be able to get it without worshipping the beast.  We live in America, not Babylon.  This is a part of the deception....
