To buy, to use, oh well. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Leave a legacy that you need to try hard, hope for luck, work harder and no matter what, make it fun&#8211;for others as well as yourself. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Find the next great food joint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Make it a human law to practice random acts of kindness. &nbsp;They used to teach it as the golden rule. &nbsp;But, we got sour on one another and greedy. &nbsp;So, now, we just need to do RAK because it gives us a fighting chance to feel good. &nbsp;Especially, when elderly, disadvantaged, special needs and service people are involved. If we all would do this on a regular basis, the shitty weather might go away, just because of the positive acts by so many. &nbsp;Can&#8217;t hurt to try.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Everything I listed is real do-able. &nbsp;But, I&#8217;ve been thinking. &nbsp;I want to race camels with my friend Leroy Bookstore as the jockey on my magnificent looking beast of a camel and Mikey Thompson riding the other camel. &nbsp;And Mikey&#8217;s camel is a real un-sightly, bad structured bastard that is unclean and unfit for humans. &nbsp;Of course, I win. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;I want to watch an arm wrestling contest between Allan Poe and Tommy Milligan. &nbsp;And in a fair match, Milligan wins. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;And in a really wierd world, Mustard wins a beauty pageant and there will be a concert south of Fargo, OK and Van Halen will be the warm up act before Gun &#8216;n Roses opens for George Strait followed by AC\/DC who will play a few songs and then KISS will play the encore. &nbsp;But then, Willie Nelson surprises everybody and finishes the evening and we all go home happy and for some reason, we all want a twinkie and a bag of doritos. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;How&#8217;s this for a Friday night kind of, you have got to be $h!tt!ng me kind of deal? &nbsp;The author just ain&#8217;t right about his head. &nbsp;Actually, I can make most of these deals happen. &nbsp;Well, except I don&#8217;t know if I can get Mikey to ride a crappy camel. &nbsp;And maybe that Guns N Roses reunion. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;All we need now is Animal from the muppets playing the drums and Thing getting whacked in the head with a beer bottle. &nbsp;Most of you are going, &#8220;What?&#8221; and Thing is going &#8220;That sorry SOB!&#8221;. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Here&#8217;s to you and all those that try to help others. &nbsp;I hope everybody has a day or two like dealing with puppies. &nbsp;Nothing but smiles, cuddles, belly rubs, hugs, ear rubs and an occasional bad smell that you attribute to the puppy. &nbsp;And remember, that we always over-look an occasional turd, skid mark and wet spot when dealing with puppies. &nbsp;If you are dealing with friends, family,employees and\/or customers, well, then you probably better treat them like puppies and realize that you will have a turd left behind the couch, a wet spot over there, and you don&#8217;t know why you have them, but you can&#8217;t let go just yet. &nbsp; &nbsp;Some things are just worth dealing with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;There are a lot of crappy movies out there that I enjoy watching. &nbsp;None of them won academy awards, but they are still entertaining. &nbsp;They all had that &#8220;thing&#8221; that makes you kind of like it. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe, the worst one is &#8220;Tremors&#8221; with Kevin Bacon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
