Walking With Giants

Image
  It may come as a surprise to you as you struggle to just live through the day and suddenly realize that you have been walking with giants all along. As while I was doing those two years convalescing up in there in Screw-All Tennessee, trying to get enough courage to just jump off in the Cumberland River, I never thought that one day Iā€™d be sitting here with one film on Amazon Prime, another in post production, a third on a storyboard waiting to launch, a new book out , and two music videos topping. God bless Texas! Click image for Kielia preview     In 2021 thirteen doctors crowded around me trying to figure out just what stage of dementia I was at. My family, and I use that term loosely, had put me in the Wellington Institute for non-intrusive dying and I was PROceeding with all possible dispatch. Then Pam sprung me, Iā€™ll never know why.   I ended up driving a bobtail truck from Salt Lake City to Nashville with my son Wilbur giving me a little help toward the end...

Johnny Ringo

Image
  Johnny Ringo was a notorious figure of the American Old West, remembered for his involvement in the violent conflicts of the era, particularly the gunfights and feuds that took place in Tombstone, Arizona. Born in 1850 in Kentucky, Ringo was one of many individuals who sought a new life in the West, a place where lawlessness and the opportunity for fortune were often intertwined. While details of his early life remain somewhat unclear, it is believed that Ringo was originally a ranch hand who eventually became entangled in criminal activities. He was a part of the larger group of outlaws, lawmen, and figures that contributed to the legend of the American frontier. Ringo's involvement in the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is one of the defining moments of his life. While he wasn't directly involved in the actual shootout, he was a key member of the Cowboys, a group of outlaws that were at odds with the lawmen of Tombstone, including the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday.

The Musk Clan: A Galaxy of Genius

Image
From Elkarameloo Elon Musk, the trailblazing visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX, doesnā€™t just dream of colonizing Marsā€”heā€™s built a family that seems destined to conquer the stars. With his partner, the enigmatic musician Grimes, Elon has welcomed children whose names aloneā€”like X Ɔ A-Xii and Exa Dark SiderƦlā€”spark curiosity and debate. These unconventional monikers reflect a household where creativity and innovation arenā€™t just encouraged; theyā€™re practically a way of life. But Elonā€™s family isnā€™t a solo mission. Heā€™s a father to multiple children from previous relationships, including twins and triplets with his first wife, Justine Wilson. This bustling brood mirrors the chaos and ambition of Elonā€™s own mindā€”each child a potential pioneer in their own right. From late-night coding sessions to impromptu rocket sketches, one can only imagine the dinner table conversations in the Musk household, where ideas likely fly faster than a Falcon 9 launch. Beyond the headlines, Elonā€™s family lif...

Rock a Bye Baby

Image
  Just a twist- Davy Crockett's older sister, Effie Crockett was invited to help some mothers in the Muskogee Tribe. Once she arrived in camp, Effie laughed at what she saw. The Muskogee Tribe had a custom of cradlng their pappooses among the swaying branches of birch trees. This protected their babies from ground insects, the sun, and wild animals. After first finding it funny, she soon learned all the great reasons for this practice and marveled at the beauty of it. Effie watched the swaying and soothing motion of the topmost branches of the trees. She loved how each baby enjoyed nature, how they listened to the songbirds, observed every ladybug, and smiled at the colors of a butterfly, every little breeze was felt and enjoyed by these young ones; each babe seemd perfectly content. One of the Tribal mothers began to sing a song to the children in her native tongue. As the Muskogee mother sang, Miss Effie observed a small tear running down the motherā€™s cheek.

Donā€™t Take the Girl

Image
  Of late I have begun the examination of life. Life changes. Nothing stays the same. People come and people go, voluntarily or otherwise. If itā€™s voluntary, you cope, if involuntary you catch religion. Time waits for no man, but if youā€™ve ever waited in your car while your wife is shopping you know that it will wait for a woman.  Relationships change. What was exciting the first time becomes routine. Surprisingly, someone who was window dressing is suddenly realized to have been a cornerstone after they are gone.  Society shifts views and acceptance or rejections of situations or positions. While gladiators were the thing in Ancient Rome bullfighting is taking a downturn in the twenty-first century. While the flamboyant uncle was laughed at before, they become the transgender politician who can be governor now.  Universal acceptance is a myth. Everything does not ā€œtaste like chicken,ā€ in fact KFC is now suspected as not being chicken at all. The old order changith i...

Bad Medicine

Image
      This is a post that is meant to be shared with everyone you can think of.   Our 17 year old daughter went to the doctor. The doctor recommended the Gardasil vaccine . We needed to check it out first. A pamphlet was brought home and we read it. It was like one of those commercials we all see every day. Soo...upon the return visit we decided we would protect our beautiful daughter from cervical cancer by letting them administer the Gardasil vaccine.  The Gardasil vaccine is a series of 3 shots, not just one!!! After the first shot we didn't recognize a sudden change in her health. After the second shot she was complaining of headaches, a pain in the lower left back of her head, and feeling really tired,her joints ached. We thought it was because she was training really hard for high school sports.  We took her back to the family doc who told us it was just stress and suggested Tylenol.  She went in for the third shot of Gardasil, made by Merck . Th...
