Hair

I was looking thru some old pics this week for a video that we are having produced at this time. I was stunned by the hair that I had way back when. The pics were taken during my two months in Siberia back a few months after communism fell.


The people I am with are my with my translators Vera and Alex. There are extra folks and they are all Vera's friends.

Vera, myself, Alex and Vera's friend just sitting around chattin away.

The 3 on the left are part of my team otherwise it is Vera translating for me while I spot to a Russian National on a park bench.

We traveled 3 miles from Irkutsk Siberia to stay with Vera and her family. Unfortunately she is hidden behind one of her friends sitting on the floor next to Alex my translator. The other two fella's are a few more of her friends that spent time with us.

Kinda crazy to reminise about my hair, I know, I really did have hair. Really it was all about the trip to Siberia which was awesome.

FB

First I want to apologize to you and let you know that I am still alive. I know some of you do not really care since you are still all wrapped up in the Circus that was BF and GB (Brett Favre vs. Green Bay for those under a very large rock). My thought is I will miss what could have been this year with Brett and the pack, but as a fan of GB I will move on. Go Pack Go! I would have liked to have seen Brett stay but we knew this day was going to come anyways.
.
Sorry that was a bit of a side, but I know you were all interested in my take on the whole situation. If you were not interested in my opionion, ha ya got it anyway.
.
For those checking for updates on a regular basis I apologize. With the lack of and the touchyness of some of the internet connections we had during the last six weeks of travels it was easier to utilize Facebook. Plus a nice feature is that you can create photo albums, put videos on and communicate with others a bit easier. The hits are quicker and that means what I have to type in is limited so all I needed was five minutes. Doing the blog takes a bit longer.
.
Do not fret, I will still post on here when I have something more to say, but if you are on Facebook look me up. I have put a link below for you to connect with me. Well at least I hope it leads you to me. So click on the logo below and come visit and become a friend.
.

If you are looking to blame someone, please blame my wife. She is the one that got me into being a booker, a "facebooker" that is.

So pop on over and view the photos and vids that I had posted.

A little break from vacation for a good laugh

Suspect steals truck, then gets carjacked
thecalifonian.com

A Salinas man who had stolen a Chevy pickup truck earlier on Saturday was later carjacked at gunpoint in the vehicle.

Then on Sunday, the carjacking suspect nearly drove the truck into Salinas Fire Station II, at 10 W. Laurel Street, as he was pursued by police.

"You couldn't make up something stranger than this," said police Cmdr. Kelly McMillin, when explaining the incident.

Edward Bishop, 33, told police he stole a Chevy Silverado in north Salinas at around 1 a.m. Saturday.

While sitting in the truck at the 7-Eleven on South Main Street later that day, Jomo Sexton, 34, entered the truck pointing a gun at Bishop, ordering him to drive around Salinas.

The truck ran out of gas near Kern and East Market streets and Sexton ordered Bishop to push the truck, but Bishop ran away and called police. Bishop was arrested for suspicion of vehicle theft and booked at the Monterey County Jail.

On Sunday, officers saw the Chevy driving recklessly on East Laurel Drive toward North Main Street. The truck ran a red light and struck another car as Sexton fled from authorities, police said. The truck struck a fire hydrant and knocked down a flag pole in front of Salinas Fire Station II.

Sexton was ejected from the vehicle at impact and landed in front of the American Legion. He was taken by helicopter to a Bay Area hospital, then released to Salinas police.

Sexton was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, carjacking, reckless driving, driving under the influence, unlicensed driving, hit and run and violation of parole.
