You all heard of the saying, "Time waits for no one" right?? Well just in my mind and thoughts this year is already doing just that...moving on and waiting for no one!! When you think about it Christmas seems like last week but that was the New Year just getting started on 1 January now tomorrow is the 6th of January already and my emails are letting me know I got some bills going to be due pretty soon!!

It seem like I would get a little brake since I don't have any new bills just the same ones I had for a few years now!! I bet many of you are feeling the same way!!

My car insurance I pay that early and can only get insurance for six months instead of a whole year like it was years ago being here in Texas!! I have been with the same company now for 15 years so my rates are pretty good I think!!

In fact I still got my 2003 Ford SUV fully insured because I never know who may hit me or when and I haul my scooter every where I go and it's insured too!! The big thing here in Texas and probably in every state for that matter is the number of motorist with no insurance and you don't know who or when you'll get hit!!

Any way with the year passing by with what seem to be a fast rate it won't take long for Santa Claus to pay us another visit with more grand kids and great grands for us to buy presents for them!!

I sure hope the wars are coming to an end because 10 years plus is a long time for the troops to be in a war away from their families like it has been since Vietnam as I remember!! In fact my son was in the Gulf war and he is now retired and I remember when he first went into the service years ago!!

All we can do is pray and hope for peace a long lasting peace for all we have had to endure like the housing market, jobs lost, unemployment and some moving overseas until it's about time we start to take care of the US and not shed more blood and suffer many deaths on foreign soils!!

My wife and I got the chance to go out to one of the premium outlet malls about 50 miles from our town and spend some time just looking around!! Many, many people were out shopping and as I sat in one place on my scooter, I could tell many women were returning perhaps gifts they had gotten for Christmas from friends and family members!!

The sun was shinning and the weather had warmed up from a morning low of about 29 degrees!! The drive was pleasant and the speed limit has been increased to 75 mph on I 35 most of the way but the slow drivers were still in the left lane doing 60 mph when there were three other lanes they could be using while driving that slow on the interstate freeway!!

It appeared the state patrols were looking for 18 wheelers hauling dope or illegal aliens from Mexico because I was speeding while passing two different ones sitting on the side and they never left their spot and there were several trucks behind me in the outside lanes on the side the state troopers were sitting!!

As a rule they stop and catch trucks daily between the border of Mexico and Dallas, it's shown on the evening news every day!!

Well my time is moving on too writing this blog and it has been a week since I blogged last so more to come in another blog you all until then I'm out of here!! Hope you all are doing OK!!
