Sharing A Couple Photos

 

KBR Transportation; Taken in Arlington Texas, July 19, 2021
I was headed into work yesterday.  When I saw yet another big truck in the parking lot.  I could not resist taking a picture of the truck.  On the side of the truck is KBR Transportation.  I remember KBR from when I was in Afghanistan.  It makes me wonder if this truck has to do with the withdrawal in Afghanistan.  Well, anyways, I just thought I would share it here on my blog.  Later, I will try and look up more information about it.  To find out what kind of truck it is.  It clearly looks like a big diesel truck, but what brand I wonder.  I did not get close enough to see the markings on it.  I just had to share this, anyways.

No more Sanitation.  The time clock is working again.  So, I will be able to go right in and clock in instead of filing out a punch card.  This week, I close on Thursday.  But I don't start until 2 PM, where as today I start at 1:15 PM.  Because they have no more Sanitation Albertsons can afford to have more Courtesy Clerks.  

I am still reading my book.  I really like how the book describes the suffering of our allies in China, during World War II.  They almost got wiped out.  But Colonel Chennault did not give up.  He was sent to the United States on a mission to get more airplanes for China.  Almost all of the American volunteers left after the war with Japan started.  This is because they were drawing bad press, and they were against overwhelming odds.  Chenault arrived November 15, 1940 in Washington, D.C..  The next chapter is titled "An Air Unit For China", in The Flying Tigers.  

Well, back to my coffee.  I hope you enjoyed reading this blog entry.  I almost did not post today.  I was glad I did, because I had that picture to share.

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...

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.
