True Story.....

Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were.  A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall.

When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must Have stung quite a bit.

The complaint:
'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base:

Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 A.M, a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our good fortune!  Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyns early bird special?

Any response would be appreciated.

The response:

Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m.., a perfectly timed four- ship fly by of F-1 6s from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy Fresques. Capt Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30, Memorial Day.

At 9 a. m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on the letter writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise, I'm sure you didn't hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on behalf of the President of the United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women who understand the sacrifices they have endured..

A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those who give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.

The letter writer asks, 'Who m do we thank for the morning air show? The 56th Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow and parents of Capt Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.

Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

{Chivalrous, yes. Spiritual, yeah. Poetic, to a fault. Even kinda philisophical. Yeppers I make up my own and also pull from some favorite movies. What yall dont know is. I look like a giant in the beanstalk tale but im as cuddly as a bear and one faithful man. Those who know me love me like a brother, and for those I call friends are also called family.

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose.

A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse," he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.."

He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check. Are my testicles black"

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.

She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in to he other. Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."

The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very closely, "Are - my - test - results - back?"

hey yall thought youd get a laugh out this like i did

Subject: Bill to get rid of Organic Farms

 

House and Senate bills to kill all organic farms
(FAST TRACK bill passes in less than 2 weeks)

Food Safety Modernization Act (HR 875): Criminalization of Organic Farms

Bills are: House H.R. 875
http://www.govtrack .us/congress/ bill.xpd? bill=h111- 875 Senate S 425
http://www.govtrack .us/congress/ bill.xpd? bill=s111- 425

There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks
before people realize what is happening.

Main backer and lobbyist is (guess who) Monsanto

This Bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and
poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to "make
sure there is no danger to the public food supply".

If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds will be allowed, only
Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now causing unexpected
diseases in humans.

Here is a short video on the subject:

The House and Senate WILL pass this if they do not hear from us.  .. . they fear your voice and your vote.

Together WE CAN OVERCOME!!!

Ive taken some chances and gone to the extreme to accomplish something i should have done at an earlier age when my body was still strong enough for the task i was attempting. my variations with luck are the same as anyones you win some you lose some but within my heart the soul of my being keeps me being me and taking me farther down the road of lifes adventures.
i took on photography this year by purchasing a nikon l20 digital camera and 8gb sd card for photo storage. so far ive yet to take some shots but goin out this weekend to shoot some shots of nature and maybe a get a few pictures of beautiful friends of mine or something that catches my eye as an artist. oh and my boots are cherry again got them resoled both of them black & brown cowboy boots. needless to say i was uber glad too have them done and see the shiny results of great work. i have Ashley Boots Repair to thank for that the gent over there a immaculate job on them and made them look as if just bought them again brand spankin new. well yall hope your havin a great day.
random ideas if youre looking for them.... well taking shots of anything just gettin out there walkin and goin on an artistic voyage of inspiration. theres also the trip to the range if you can find one and have a firearm you like to fire and thrill yourself with the accuracy and marksmanship fun you can have firing a firearm if yuou happen to have one if not find a relative and spend time with fam shooting and maybe take and make it a shot game. makes it fun with a deck of cards and a long range rifle or medium range. long range being 100 yards out and farther. medium range anything between 50 and 100 yards.

love peace and sweet spring lovin for all,
james

heart set on one
just you
the way you chat with me and wild little things as pair
letting me know that youre always there
a woman tried and true and oh so rare

in this world theres no one that does that thing you do
the makes me wild about you
the tone in your voice that lets me know that youll never let me go

heart set on one
and only one for me
forever will i be

I have to be me its the only way i am
a faker is cowardice hiding in the closet
choking on his feelings in an emotional dam

now i may be country but not born in south
you can hear it in my voice and the way i fit my jeans
mostly by my manners and my mouth

i take the world each day anew
with my swagger in my heart taking a challenge
testing myself never leaving me blue

so the next time you ask yourself
should i say it?, just do
or the only person you're screwin' is you

ive been a sweetheart to most but an asshole to those who rubbed me the wrong way. there are those i dont speak to just for lack of nothing good to say to them due to clouded feeling. ive had a few girls in my life ive found i lusted after more than loved but the ones i loved i can count on one hand. although its not that many. lusted seems to be the word for my idea of being just that a nice idea of being with. i know my words are bit lost in translation but have a beer with me sometime and ill explain myself calmly and friendly. there are a few women right now that touch my heart in their certain ways but none has lassoed my heart and taken me in the way i would be as sure to say im hooked in and ready to be served. haha fishing joke there and nope its simple so i wont explain it lol. the world is a bittersweet place right now for it has been due to some with their fanatical views on what should or shouldnt be right. although the fantics usually ruin it for the rest of us gents that just want a nice easy flow to the life we lead. players i understand their game but dont have to respect the way they live. for it is their own and its just not for me as is the way i feel about that. i may be bit too sweet but there a nature to some of us gents we possess a great deal of patience but we also got a great deal of power to us though we use it sparingly in the means to end a great fear for others and to keep those we love and sometimes those we dont know safe from harm.  i know this is a rant but its a small piece of what i think for those who wanna pick my brain abit. here's a glimpse of a wide array of ideas and views. hope yall are well and bless ye.
