aug 2 2018
 maybe everyone already knows but i was shocked to be told that.. when flying,   .there is now no longer a "carry on luggaGE... YOU ARE ALLOWED ONE "POCKETBOOK"  SIZE-- THE REST IS WEIGHED AND YOU ARE CHARGED FOR IT.-- MEANING EVEN MEN.... WILL BE CARRYING  SMALL LAP SIZE OBJECTS...  PERFECT CHANCE FOR US TO SELL FEED BAgs !!!  i hope some cp's can look into this and  we can capatilize on that !!  these are very handy !! and sturdy -- i know ---  i tested on with the new mule "barbie"  and nothing gave out.--  believe it or not we have almost gone thru the first 500-- got to make a few  further tests... like can a laptop be rammed into it??? 
i once owned a laptop--  but it developed rabies - i also had a few other things that were far too intelectual for me, and have wandered off into the sunset... now  to listen to the audio books, i have to get in my car-  which is a fine place--a  portable  heated and air conditioned cell in which i can nap undisturbed...- and harder for  me to misplace..... so far..
***
goldie--- comes up with amazing concepts-- and today a possiblity so bizzarre i can not ignore...
it would only take about $600,000- "capital expense" in addition to about the same for  yearly running expense...
**
 my working life began with 25 cents/ hour babysitting-back when gas was 5 gal for $1...so that was the frame of refverence for my mind...  20 cents over the years became $2.00 then finally $20.00..  kids now have $20 bills   like i had a quarter. never did  i ever think i would be putting so many zeros on any project..  
coins....hardly have any use anymore at all- my kids grew up on  the coins from teh WantAd magazine- as  the 16 delivery people gave me their  weekly results in cash, in coins,and in brown paper bags...  i'd bank the bills and we would live off the  coins---  a  genetic collection of coins without the quaRTERS PICKED OUT  IS VERY CLOSE TO $20 A CUPFUL.  AND IF YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW.... A GALLON OF PENNIES IS ABOUT $60.  I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT  5 gallons of pennies was $291.63- because i fillied one and used it as a prize "if you guessed the right number of pennies in the jug."  it also weighed a ton !!!
****
my bropken  washing machine  "B"   --- hardly an interesting story....except--- i googled and called a same day deal- he asked if i had ever uysed them before "i dunno" ----but he looked it up and yes i had called them before...  the guy came and said "A"  was unfixable and i should buy another "B" which i did-- and set "A" aside--  bought "B"--- then  bud came along and fixed "A" for $13.50... which i then put in the cellar as back up... "b" now broken and the same outfit is coming back???? 
there is a bad vibe here somewhere...

DEAR CARLENE,

MARTINA AND I JUST CAME BACK FROM ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING TRIPS I HAVE BEEN ON. WE WENT WITH THE FAMILY TO YELLOWSTONE AND GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARKS. MARTINA DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH THE 5 HOUR PLANE RIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY FOLLOWED BY A 5 HOUR CAR RIDE THE FOLLOWING DAY TO THE PARKS. I AM CONVINCED THAT IF I HAD NOT HAD MARTINA I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO MOST OF WHAT I GOT TO DO WHILE WE WHERE THERE. WE GOT TO SEE THE STAPLES INCLUDING OLD FAITHFUL, THE GRAND PRISMATIC LAKE, YELLOWSTONE’S GRAND CANYON, AND THE GRAND TETONS.  

IF I WAS STILL USING MY WALKING STICK OR MY CRUTCHES I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO SEE SOME AMAZING VIEWS. MARTINA GOT A TON OF COMPLEMENTS AND I GAVE QUITE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SDP’S INFORMATION AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, I HOPE YOU GOT A COUPLE OF NEW CAMERA PEOPLE FROM OUR TRIP OUT THERE. I AM AMAZED AT HOW MUCH BENEFIT MARTINA HAS GIVEN ME IN MY LIFE AND HOW MUCH INDEPENDENCE I HAVE NOW WITH HER.

THANKS,

ELIJAH
