The Day I Moved The Market (Short Story) - 1/13/2018 12:01:28 PM
You probably did. My brief introduction to brokers was that they were very much steered by rumors, especially from their buddies.
Your story brought back fond memories of my three years in Atlanta. I was on a stock plan with GTE LenKurt for two years back in the 60s… 60 shares I think. My stock certificate was stolen with my briefcase from my car in a snow bank when I went to get help. I think I knew who took the briefcase that I was 100 miles away and couldn't help the police find the guy by his car. Anyway, I paid the 15% insurance fee and got the certificate back.
I designed and built a home in Atlanta when I was there. I sold the stock to help pay for it. In the 12 years since I acquired the certificate, the value had not gone up. It was down a point. I advised my brother coming out of college not to join GTE Labs in Phoenix. He did anyway and got GTE stock as well as part of their plan. Two years later the stock was up 10 points. I asked around how to sell the stock. Someone told me to use the "discount broker" Charles Schwab. I went downtown to their office and sold it. There was a guy in the waiting room on a terminal. Maybe he was day trading. I have been with Schwab ever since. I never day traded, but took some risky tips and mostly lost buying them.

Lizards Beware (Short Story) - 8/7/2017 10:57:43 AM
At least you had something interesting to do during your downtime. And I'm sure the lizards practiced their evasion skills with you so they could quickly jump out of the way of a real threat like a bird diving to get them or a snake striking. You are doing them a service.
I didn't see any lizards like the one in the picture when I was in Thailand in 1978, but my host told me to shy away from them because some were poisonous. When we got car trouble one evening outside Bangkok with a martial law curfew looming, his girlfriend, a college professor, took me on a wild ride through the streets on bus, pickup truck, and cab to her extended family's home, half on the water and half off. I was escorted to a mat in a large wooden room for the night. Before I drifted off, I noticed about 20 geckos positioned all around the room. Probably there to take advantage of the mosquitoes that were in plentiful supply.

Circumstancial Evidence (Short Story) - 8/5/2017 5:29:42 AM
You are one of those jokers, hah? It seems to me that one of my classmates dropped a cherry bomb down a toilet and flushed it to see if it would explode underwater like advertised. It did, and caused considerable plumbing damage!
I think that last line should have been, "… plan will work, [don't] start over again and wait for the result. From my experience, principals had an uncanny way of finding out who did things.

I Should Have Picked Jail (Short Story) - 2/9/2017 7:41:21 AM
You're right. You can't make up stories like this. A series of decisions you thought were right but turned out wrong… What a coincidence. Your story is very interesting and has special significance for me.
I taught in Atlanta University on the West Side from 1977-1980. I recall going to a club on the North Side with some graduate students that was probably the coolest club I've ever been to. Those girls were young and very sweet. Really taken advantage of. Working at a predominantly black institution with students, I often ventured into "bad" parts of town. But never encountered anything like you. Was once accused of being a drug dealer at a birthday party for an African student who wasn't even there.
My story is being invited by a rich Saudi Arabian MBA student to a house party on the far north side, I left the party after drinking moderately and stopping about 1 am, about 3 am with three students that I had brought to the party.
About a mile down the deserted rural narrow road, the Indian woman in the front seat with me was asleep. Up ahead, I saw headlights coming… And coming… And coming on my side of the road! There was a high bank to my right, so my only choice was to go to the left lane to avoid a head-on collision. That choice is not recommended by safety experts, telling you to go off the road to the right shoulder like my dad did one time.
I was in the left lane in a second and the other car flew by me on the right. I shuddered to think what would've happened to us… With no seatbelts on and no air bags in a7 1973 Monte Carlo. I yelled out to the backseat. "Did you see that!"
The guy from Yemen in the backseat who drank more than anyone else yelled out, "I did! I saw it!"
He was my only witness. You're right, you can't make this stuff up.

Homeland Security (Article) - 3/14/2018 6:14:15 AM
It may be very hard to get rid of the mental illness that makes people angry and hateful, but we can try by not using financial or military muscle to manipulate cultures and try to make them "like ours." CIA manipulation.
An unbelievable number of countries have been rocked with unrest as a result of vast differences between the favored and the unfavored in those countries. The United States was like that in 1776 and then again, in 1860. As long as people are unsatisfied with their status quo and can be manipulated by charismatic evildoers, there will be danger. The cure for that is to give everyone a break.
Probably the result of those police boats, passengers like you are safer than you were say, 20 years ago. It's all a matter of perception. The good old days were not that good. Much of the crap going on then was either swept under the rug or never reported. Back in mid 20th century there were two documentaries that were quite revealing… An Italian movie translated title, "World of Dogs," and another European movie describing atrocities in Africa, "African Addio." Now we can see exposés like that every day on Frontline and other news reports. The world is not worse, we just know more about it.

Went To A Concert Last Night (Article) - 6/26/2017 9:54:55 AM
Chicago shortly was and continues to be a prodigious band. I didn't follow them much but heard most of their hits listening to my car radio on the way to work. I also heard the Doobie Bro hits as well and never followed them. I don't think that Chicago is the same after Peter Cetera left.
One of my favorites was Credence Clearwater Revival. A few years ago I got to see John Fogarty here at Reliant Center. It was obvious he was the center of CCR because even solo, he brought back the old songs better than when I heard them on the radio.
I wish I had been at Woodstock, too and to the Monterey Pop Festival in those years. Some of the greatest rock 'n' roll ever performed.

If Tomorrow Comes (Article) - 12/10/2015 8:56:45 AM
We can't rely on the government to locate and determine all criminal behavior. As citizens, we must all inform law enforcement of suspicious behavior. Fortunately, the capability of cell phones to take photos and videos has greatly increased citizens' ability to report suspicious activity. We have the Crimestoppers program that allows anonymous calling in of tips and rewards for finding suspects.
Unfortunately, among many of our poorer and immigrant citizens, suspicions and even crimes are not reported because these people often are intimidated when having to go to the police. Please encourage anyone that you know that doesn't want to report criminal activity, to do so.

Yes, hope in the best that science and technology can provide to try to kill the insidious cell growth known as cancer. I certainly hope that you make it through it and that the cancer is killed, or as polite society wrongly calls it, in remission. There is no need for false pretense when your life is on the line. I have known people, an 11-year-old young man, in particular, who did not survive the treatment even though his father, a medical doctor, was closely monitoring the situation.

I don't see what the problem is. The United States Navy had no problem getting rid of the Barbary Coast pirates. They didn't even have a single aircraft carrier or submarine...just a couple of ships with sails and cannon. Sink pirate ships and hang pirates...history has proven it works.

Woe be to the loyal knight who has given his all and is by circumstance forced to have his final fall upon a strange land. And so "he slips away to another place". Well spoken my friend. May love and peace be always with you. Jon Michael

The wishful thinking of a dying man. So many warriors have felt this pain… This last pain, not of dying, but of being far away from those they love dying in a foreign land.
Heart wrenching and a beautiful poem with a message.

Laughing at life is probably the best defense in a world that deals us all strange obstacles and choices. Don't get mad; get even. Fight back, fairly and honestly, but never give up. That is when you are defeated.

The Marsh (Poetry) - 7/14/2015 6:01:28 AM
Poetry getting the word out. It is a shame that developers seem hell-bent on draining marshes and putting up developments. Here in Houston, the many bayous that used to provide countless nurseries for the sea so nearby, have become concrete ditches to faster propel pollutants and plastic into the sea with nothing of any redeeming value except to destroy life.
Ron

Meditation (Poetry) - 5/30/2015 7:24:06 AM
I would consider this more humorous than spiritual. Whatever it is that gets you into this meditative state, I'd like a piece of it. My meditation often involves just relaxing, generally while watching nature, and letting my mind wander. Your meditation is on a whole different plane. You are out there wandering between galaxies without a spaceship… Wow!

Your poem transported me back to that great poet, Woody Guthrie, with This Land Is My Land. We can travel all around the world and see glorious things, but when it gets right down to it, especially in California, a car will get you far. Especially in San Diego.

Regis
Green Fruit (Poetry) - 12/22/2014 3:59:47 PM
I don't much eat fruit, never had a taste for them and most veggies are green so I can't eat them because of being on blood thinner...so howsoever it is all kept, gassed or frozen, I really don't much care...(did you notice that Ron's grandparents had a farm that raised trucks...do they start from seeds or do they grow on trees or a vine...?)
Green Fruit (Poetry) - 12/22/2014 11:19:49 AM
Not only freezing, but gases. Sometimes, they are inert gases that slow the decomposition process, and sometimes there are gases to enhance the look. For example, the navel oranges from my tree are green and yellow and ugly looking, but taste very sweet. You won't find them in the store, because they don't look appetizing enough. Gassing them gives them that bright orange, beautiful look.
On the contrary, here in Houston Texas, I marvel at the variety of produce and fruit, often quite tasty and much better than I remember from the field that is available year-round in any season. Frozen vegetables, for example, are usually picked at the peak of season, and therefore are available year-round with very little deterioration in taste and nutrition. Much better than canned with all that salt and sugar.
I caution you again to remember that those good old days that I remember in the 50s meant that there was a very short season for fruit or vegetables and the rest of the year, we were stuck with canned. My grandparents had a truck farm and grew all kinds of fruit and vegetables for sale by the road. A lot of those didn't turn out very well and became pig food.
"What we have here," a former boss of mine used to say, "is rising expectations."
Ron
Green Fruit (Poetry) - 12/22/2014 9:38:23 AM
I guess you missed the news story a few months back about our so called 'Fresh Fruit.' Some of it has been frozen for a year, and most of it isn't even grown here anymore. (Think China.)
I always wondered what those huge Cold Storage buildings were for all across America - and now I know.
If you want fresh fruit, you gotta grow yer own these sad days.

Walt, well said. The challenge is to do what we believe is right for ourselves and yet does not adversely affect others. A delicate balance that sometimes creates a little agro in our lives. May peace and love be always with my dear friend. Jon Michael
