    I must have looked pretty danged ruff that night we stopped in New Mexico and I got those fajitas. There was a couple that were probably some sort of swanky heavy haul types in the booth in front of me.

    I asked for the check as the waitress was clearing the table, and she goes," Your check is paid."

    And I'm going," What are you talking about."

    She says," You're the cool guy tonight, so you're check is paid."

    Now when I walked in, as per my standard under the perpetual lesson, some old lady with short hair, and her hubband with long hair are paying their bill. And it's taking 20 minutes. Then she has to have a piece of candy. Another 10 minutes. Then some other dude pays. So finally I get to sit. I think they noticed that. I never said a word, figured I was there for 10 hours anyways, stand at this cash register for an hour what difference does it make.

    I asked if the gentleman if he paid that tab, and he said," Happy Holidays."

    Really made me smile, cause I can count the number of times on one hand anyone has ever given me anything.

    Told The OM," I must really need a shower and some rest."

    Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of the evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"

    Dave, if you ever do meet a talking snake, give it some Gatorade. It will be hesitant to bite you thinking you might have some of that refreshing goodness.

    Ya know Dave, if you feel like Satan is after you, it proves one thing. You still belong to his Archenemy. And that’s a good thing! Some years ago, I felt as alone and abandoned by God as a fellow could, and one day I saw a church sign that said, “If God seems far away, guess who moved?” Boom, hit me like a ton of brick. So, I took some corrective measures to get back on track! Am I saying, I never have bad days, and indecision anymore? Absolutely not! I just have Someone who is All-knowing that I can ask questions! And sometimes, it just boils down to faith…

    So if Mr Warren called and said "hey Opus if you'll come coach the Bears I'll sign a blank check you make it out ,what ever you want " . You'd say oh no Albany needs me. Maybe you need one of them talking cats.

    Well, the one good thing I saw in that was the thief; pulling the 99 year stretch, did have the good sense to steal some good Mississippi cattle.
    TX and LA cattle are horns and bones, (they staple a $100 bill to the ear tag, to encourage theft) and stash in the middle of 98 slowing me down in the day...
    Might go down to any parole hearings and speak up for the boy...Make a good order buyer...

    Ive had this happen twice while I was out on the road. Makes you feel good to know there's still nice people around. And whenever I see law enforcement , we have a trooper barracks in town, lot's of time we'll see them eating with there family because they are on break. I always try to pay for them .
