It has been a hard start today. I was six papers short on the route. I wore the wrong cap to work. There was a Laughlin truck waiting for me. So at the present time I feel a little out of sorts. They have charged for Nolan's paper so I guess I'll just leave that alone. They probably realize they have screwed up without me bringing it to their attention. It is payday and I slipped the credit card payment through without a draw. I need to get a letter off to Nolan and check on some real estate pamphlets for him.

Some old grass came in off the farm. I guess someone else was going to come in and get it so they brought it over to the mill. A couple of Laughlin trucks and one container went out. The electrician burnt up the starter motor on the mini bale press so that is down for now.

I got a letter off to Nolan and some information about real estate in Canada. I am sure it was not what he wanted but I will look around and see if I can find something that will work for him. Tom came up for a visit but there was not much in the conversation except he made a comment about gays - that it was like any other sin in the world. You could love the sinner and hate the sin. He is so naive that it is up to the person to be strong enough to withhold any feelings he has and just do good. I wanted the puke but looked out the window instead.

I got the three exercise sets and walked the loop. I was thinking as I walked the loop that the purpose for my life was to have made this a better place for the people around me than it was on November 25, 1926. I do not think that the purpose of this life is to procreate and leave a piece of my flesh on the surface of this planet. I really believe that in some ways I have effected some people positively and I keep hoping that the tally sheet will show that I have made more positive good (God) things happen than (D)evil things.

I watched All Over The Guy - it was about three guys and a girl that turned into two couples. It was a good story about dealing with commitments and pretty much accepting people as they are and not what we wish they were.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment today was talking to Marcial about the work on the farm. He is a good guy and I think a pretty good friend.
