JUBILEE TRACTOR

When I was young PaPa had a Jubilee Ford tractor we sometimes used on the farm. When I was six, I was staying with PaPa and Granny and drove the tractor to the end of the long driveway to catch the bus. At that time I had to stand up on the running boards to work the pedals. Years later I was still in my early teens and the tractor was on our farm in Hurdlow. The wheels were changed from one side to the other, this widened the tractor for the hills. I drove the tractor to the top of the big hill, and when I turned down the back side the tractor jumped out of gear. The old Ford tractors were known for having bad brakes, the pedals hit the running board with no effect. I was free wheeling, the tractor was hitting ground hog holes and rocks, the tractor was bouncing two feet from side to side. As the tractor increased in speed I started to jump off, but the wheels were wide and there was a boom pole on the back. The only chance I had was to ride it out. At the bottom of the hill was a patch of woods, and the river. It felt like I was doing eighty five, near the bottom the fescue and orchard grass was about knee high, I started cutting, and began to turn and slide. The tractor turned out the hill  with the fence, me and the tractor were saved. Driving from the lower place to the house I turned white as a sheet. I told Daddy the tractor jumped out of gear, he said the tractor had never jumped out of gear, I didn't have it in good. He took the tractor part of the way up the small hill, and it jumped out with him. He told me not to drive the tractor on the hills it jumped out of gear.

GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCE

After visiting Africa and Mexico, I have learned Government dependence can ruin a country. These Countries have many natural resources, as much or more than the U.S., but they are dependant on a corrupt government.The Constitution of the United States has served our Country well, and we should continue to abide be it. I feel sure the pendulum will swing an the United States will again be the standard for the World.

STIMULUS

When a company makes a capitol investment what percentage of that product is made in the USA, can be deducted from your taxes. All government agency's that do not promote the general welfare should be abolished. An individuals tax should be less than the lord requires, the Churches and other non-government institutions should take care of the truly needy. Guns and ammo should 100% deductible.

RECEIVED POSTCARD

I received the postcard I mailed in Kenya 8/9/2011, 9/16/2011 it was a little beat up but you could still make out the picture. The postal service is so fast they are thinking about discontinuing Saturday service.

POSTCARD

I mailed a postcard, 8/9/2011 and put it in the gourd like I was instructed. It has been a month and I still have not received the postcard. If Tarzan carried the mail from Africa, went through the jungle on vines, rode an elephant through the desert, and sucessfully avoided the pirates. The problem must be with the United States Mail.

TYSON FOODS

Tyson foods in Shelbyville Tennessee eliminated Labor Day as a paid holiday, in favor of the last day of Ramadan. They have seven hundred Muslim employees, most of them from Somalia.The big labor unions think the Tea Party is the enemy! They should help Tyson Foods like they helped American automakers, and the United States mail. I will be eating pork on September eleventh.

POST OFFICE

In Metro Moore County we have at least ten maybe eleven zip codes. This is a problem I have been working on since Al Gore was for assault weapons, and talked faster. I even called the Postmaster General in Washington D.C., without any success. Most of our state and federal needs assessments are conducted using the Lynchburg zip code 37352, the other zip codes are left out, and so is Metro Moore. Having so many zip codes makes keeping sales tax records more difficult, and tracking the children that should be going to our schools almost impossible. Dish and Direct satellite company's base there local channels on zip codes some zip codes in Metro Moore get Nashville stations while others get Huntsville. This presents a problem with school closings. Many people think Motlow College is in Tullahoma because of the address. There will be a meeting in Mulberry tonight about closing the post office. We can express our views, but we just as well be talking to ourselves, because the decision has been made to close the post office and retain the zip code. We will have to go to Fayetteville where it is more inconvenient, and the same problems will persist.

DUNG HUT

This is the kitchen inside one of the dung huts, I didn't see one foreclosure sign in Kenya.

MAASAI CHILDREN

These children are smart and eager to learn, we brought school supplies, but they knew math even if it was drawn with a stick in the dirt. Our president must have received his education in the U.S.A.

MAASAI TRIBESMAN

One tribesman is choosen to go to college, he returns and educates the children. The ones that have there ears cut have not attended school.

This was a group of seven I could not get them all in one shot.

Rothchild's Giraffe

There are three kinds of Giraffe , and I was fortunate to see all three.

You can see these by the thousands, it's like the bison of the west once was.

Lesser Kudu

These are hard to see.

This Crocodile was waiting for the migrating Wildebeast to cross the river.

BACK OF CASTLE

This is where the help stayed, thank goodness they have experienced hope and change over the past fifty years, and they don't have to live in castles anymore.

LORD EGERTON CASTLE

Unfortunatly there are still reminders of British control, before the Kenyan's were given there freedom in 1963.

PROGRESS

Kenyan's are not held back by OSHA.

GOING GREEN

As you can see going green has really helped.

MARKET

This used to be one of the cleanest city's in Africa.

Birth Certificate

After many days of searching, the Republican Elephant with a good memory took us to Mombasa where we found the birth certificate. What an adventure!

Elephant

The elephant lead us on the right path, around the shovel ready roads to Mombasa.

Republican Elephant

This elephant remembered he was born in Mombasa in 1961, before Kenya got it's independence from the British. We were to follow him and he would lead us to the birth certificate.

Richard

Richard was our armed guard, and was very helpful.

Tanzania Border

This soldier was not helpful, he spoke only Swaheli even though he was carrying a British 303.

These guides helped, but still no birth certificate.
