Good morning Lifesavers (thank you for your service) and chrome lovers.
No rain in sight here. High of 86*. Better than the 98* yesterday.

Once you try it you can't stop! It's a choice for most in the beginning, but it becomes something more. I don't see it as a disease. It does keep me employed though.

It's a death sentence, that's for sure.

No, it's just a State Jail Felony.

I had a buddy that started using and his mind went to crap fast. Everything in his life did. I was was the one that put him behind bars in the end, after a failed theft of a vehicle. It's no joke, that stuff will kill you, but it will destroy you before you go.

Only taken 6 months, but the VA finally contacted me about my re-evalution. Supposedly it should be next week, have to wait for the info to arrive via Fedex to know for sure though

Good luck with that John. The VA has spent years jerking me around but little by little I get things done. Just ALWAYS call back if you miss a call, and ALWAYS send a letter back if you get a letter. Otherwise they expect you've dropped off the face of the Earth (because it's flat) and forget about you.

Second time dealing with them since I got out in 07. Probably woulda been a lot easier if not for all this covid crap. Be interesting to see what comes of it, cause it's going to play a part in how much longer I work in the powerplant. Hell, how much longer I work period
