 I closed tonight.  I hadn't closed in a long time.  I got the trash.  For the registers and the back office too.  That is not all though.  A small fire started in the smoke pit.  Ms. Shalen gave me a bottle of water, and I put it out.  All of a sudden my Navy training took over, and I made sure to check on the smoke pit again.  To make sure the fire is out.  I smoke, so whew what a relief that the fire was out. 4th of July Display I really liked that display for some reason.  It made me think of the carts they use on the airlines.  It had flags on it.  I thought it looked interesting, I just had to take a picture.  The flags gave it a patriotic look.  So, it seemed festive to me.  I posted it on Instagram.  Everybody liked it.  So, I thought I would share the image here. That makes two posts in one day.

The Rodeo battery died.  I left the lights on while I was at work.  So, when I went to leave work I tried to start the Rodeo.  The Rodeo didn't start.  I checked the lights.  Yep, I had left the lights on.  So, the battery of the Rodeo had died.  I called my Dad, and he said his car, the hybrid, could not jump the Rodeo.  So, Dad and William came in Williams car and helped jump the Rodeo.  After that I had to let the Rodeo run for twenty minutes.   I am always worried that I will leave the lights of my vehicle on.  That the battery will die.  With the gas it isn't as difficult, I just fill it up before it runs out.  But once the battery is out, I cannot start my vehicle.  Nothing beats the feeling of being stranded.  But William drove right to the spot I was parked at.  I never told Dad where I was parked at.  It is almost like me and William have some kind of connection.  I guess he must be m...

 Thank you for reading my blog.  I have had it up for a while.  But have not made many posts.  This is because it is a newer blog.  Yesterday, not much happened at work.  My schedule is back to the routine, 3:30 to 10 PM.  Except that tonight I work 6 PM to 10 PM.   Yesterday, into this morning I played Eve.  I also recorded several short videos of game play.  I put them on Youtube.  I was in a frenzy to do it.  Along with blogging, I've always wanted to make Youtube videos.  I first discovered Youtube for myself, in 2007.  I used to just watch random videos because I didn't have an account yet.  I played the Ballad of the Alamo theme countless times that year. I began working at Albertsons in March 2020.  But I met Scott in February.  Scott helped me apply to work at Albertsons.  He ended up having surgery, so not long after I began working, he left Albertsons.  I sure miss Scott at work...

 Here is the link for the live video announcement.  For CERN tomorrow.   https://fb.watch/6pR15loOQJ/ .  Enjoy.

I wanted to share this Youtube video on Maxwell's laws.  CERN is going to be live tomorrow.  This is the purpose in sharing this video, which was shared to me by Jennifer Siagian from EntertheStars, from Facebook.  I am learning so much listening and watching the video.  Such as that the magnetic field does not like to change.  With COVID going on still, this should be interesting, watching CERN live. Today, not much is going on.  But Yesterday, I cleaned up a nasty mess in one of the restrooms.  Not sure what happened there.  I ended up using bathroom cleaner, and scrubbing with paper towels, so it came up fairly easily.  No complaints there.  I just thought I would note it on my blog.  I started as a Courtesy Clerk, but finished as Sanitation.  I worked from about 9 AM, to 7 PM.   The work is not hard, I clean carts for now.  Before, when the lockdown started, we were wiping down cash registers, cleaning the b...

A couple of years ago, my Mom and stepfather Joey, moved to Arlington.  This is them both, sitting in there house.  They moved to Prestonwood Estates.  The house sits on a hill.  It is small, but cozy.  I do wish it had a bigger yard.  But I am just so happy to have my Mom back.  Ever since before I left the Navy, my Mom had been living in Alexandria, Louisiana.  That started in 2013, after her and Joey had married.  You can see Joey's guitar, he really plays that too.  mom has her laptop too.    

 Today I worked Sanitation.  Tomorrow, I work Courtesy clerk.  Oh, but there is an asterisk next to it.  Maybe I am still sanitation?  Today mostly involved getting carts out of the lot.  I was surprised because when I went in, no one was standing sanitation.  Well, you can give me those hours to then.  Last November I got sick, and had issues working.  Maybe that is all behind me now.   In Eve I finished Drones V.  Now, I train Powergrid Management V.  This is part of the Magic 14 of skills designed to help with flying the ship.  The capsuleer can learn a variety of other skills too.  Other skills are for diplomacy, science, even archeology, which helps with running anomalies.   Supposedly, even though someone has the virus, according to CNBC, you can still get COVID.  Over fourteen hundred deaths were reported due to this.  I always try and point people to the cdc website.  Even if it i...

 I let my dog Max out into my Dad's back yard.  Just as I did so, the wind began to blow.  It is not to hot outside.  I put Max outside so he will not be stuck in the house later, when it does get hot.  Usually, I leave him inside when I go to work.  Then, my Dad lets Max outside.  Before work, I make sure he has food and water. At Albertsons today,  I am sanitation.  On my profile at the Albertsons website it has me listed as sanitation for a job title.     Albertsons gave me more hours.  This is a relief, because I need to work more.  The director of this Albertsons changed a while back to Kyle.  Before it was Ms. Sharon. Well, i am going to go play some Eve.  I am training the skill Drones V.  Next up is Powergrid Management V.  I have an Alpha Clone, so I cannot train everything to V.  I am running skills through which are called the "Magic 14" because these skills will help me fly my ship...

 Today, I worked sanitation again.  Although this time, I did get to do a sweep.  A sweep is where we take the large broom, and sweep the grocery isles.  Meanwhile, I continue to wear a mask and Social Distance.  After that I came home, and played some Eve.  I got me and my Dad each a box of Cheez-Its.  Now, I am just listening to Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End  on Youtube. While I was playing Eve, I found a  Sansha Refuge.  I cleared it.  Then looted a 9 million isk item.  I warped to the station and sold it immediately.  I regret it, I should have stayed and looted the entire area.  It was the toughest Sansha Refuge I had run.  The bounties were over 100k isk in some cases.  As you can see, it would have been worth it to salvage as well.  But someone popped into my map right at the last minute.  I was surprised, because I knew I was on the last wave.  A Sansha Cannibal.  Image C...

I found an article that claims Trump won the election.  This is not the first one, either.  I keep seeing these.  Or, in this case an article claiming that Trump said he won.  It sounds to me like the U.S. Government needs to move on.  Who cares if Trump claims he won?  Who is the one in power?  So, Trump is in West Palm Beach.  That is where he lives now. Claims That Trump Won   The author, Steven A. Crockett Jr., wrote this: " A podcast from the former Trump advisor Steve Bannon has amplified the conspiracy theory," from Business Insider . What podcast?  Why not play the podcast so we can hear it for his own words.  Crockett's libel against the President Trump is just plain ridiculous.  Better watch out, or what goes around, comes around.  Every time.  

 The Pandemic started earlier than people realize.  Although the lockdown began on March 13, 2019.  The Pandemic began in December 2019.  Hence the name, COVID-19.  The pandemic is still going on.  Here in Texas, the Governor has removed the mask requirement at the state level.  But at the local level some mask mandates are still on going.  Image provided by dshs.texas.gov At Albertsons where I work.  They still require a mask.  Unless someone is vaccinated.  We are required to test for COVID prior to work at a kiosk.  Once we have the test from the kiosk, the kiosk prints off a picture of the person.  Then, you are required to wear a mask.      

 Occasionally, I like to write out one of the Psalms.   Psalm 39 For the choir director; for Jeduthun; a psalm by David 1 I said, "I will watch my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue. I will bridle my mouth while wicked people are in my presence." 2 I remained totally speechless. I kept silent, although it did me no good. While I was deep in thought, my pain grew worse. 3 My heart burned like a fire flaring up within me. Then I spoke with my tongue: 4 "Teach me, O LORD, about the end of my life. Teach me about the number of days I have left so that I may know how temporary my life is. 5 Indeed, you have made the length of my days only a few inches. My life span is nothing compared to yours. Certainly, everyone alive is like a whisper in the wind.  Selah 6 Each person who walks around is like a shadow. They are busy for no reason. They accumulate riches without knowing who will get them." 7 And now, Lord, what am I waiting for? My hope is in you! 8 Rescue me fro...
