You know when it comes to Ford I have to say I am a pretty dedicated customer along with my family of today and of yesteryear.  For years other companies have competed right along side of Ford and a few like GM has even touted that they sell more cars.  In theory I would have to say they are right in some instances too.  Thing is though that in my mind  ford is the only true car or truck that was ever made that helped bring our country to what it is today. Ford in the beginning when horses were being put by the roadside put together tractors, trucks and cars that fit most all our needs and also should say they kept them to where anyone and everyone could afford.   I would have to say Ford was there for the working man and is still there today doing as it always has.  Ford also hasn’t taken any Government assistance like all the other and is still leading today in sales.  How can that be?  Simple as I firmly believe that folks today have awakened and now realise what has been going on behind close doors for a good number of years.  Yes Sir if your in a need for a car truck or tractor there is none better in my eyes. If your not sure just take one for a drive and then go and drive a GM, or off shore one, no comparison, none what’s so ever.  Of course as always, My Opinion Only

Well here we go again and I couldn’t just let this get by without saying a few words on the subject.  Folks everyone knows in today’s world what smoking can do to a fellow or gal.  Also laws have been passed in excessive so that others aren’t affected by the ones that does smoke.  Even the ones that do smoke are pretty courteous where they smoke and for most parts respect others wishes I have found.   Anywhere you go you will see folks sitting outside their home or place of business smoking, so that they don’t infect their children or family or others.  What I am trying to get across here is that we can’t keep on bringing in laws that are useless and this is one that is just that.  What governments have to realise is that we are grown up human beings, we know right from wrong.  Just that the powers that be want to be in full control,  they don’t want us to think for ourselves any more.  Want to protect us they say, give us a break, leave us alone, things have worked for a good number of years before these so called laws and will keep right on working without any interference from them.   Maybe we should ban the governments from passing these laws and let our tax dollars start doing some good, like maybe looking after our elderly making sure they are cared for properly.  It’s just common sense folks, but I guess a lot of that has been put by the road side, what a shame. My Opinion Only.

Well that is what they said us older folks said in a poll taken the other day.  Now let me walk you through this a bit, as in reality there is a ploy setting this scenario up.   What has happened here hidden from ones eyes, or so they would like you to believe, is that most seniors would like to stay working after sixty fife.  The reason for this is so they don’t have to pay you your pension which you are entitled to as of now.  Thing is folks, even for myself I want to do some work, but its not work that says I have to work from nine to five. Its work of my own choosing, work that lets me work when I want and when I want.   Maybe I should say it isn’t work at all, its something that I look forward to doing each day, a reason to get out of bed.  To enjoy nature, family, friends. pick up that pole and go fishing, bring in firewood, it could be any or all of them things.  That is what most of us meant when this poll was taken.  So don’t be fooled, but make sure you say what you mean when asked a question, as today folks have a way of twisting words for the good of them only.  My opinion only.

Well with Christmas coming on fast  I got to wondering how many of you folks had all your shopping done.  You know years ago, where I was raised we didn’t have presents.  For most parts it was a day of getting together with neighbours and friends.   Usually our day started off with Reg and myself getting the cows milked and chores all done up while Laura the lady of the house, was busy cooking and baking things for later on in the day when guests arrived.  Yes things has changed that’s for sure, even in our home, as my wife and I have been steadily trying to figure out what to buy for our boys and daughter in-law and new grandson.   Trouble is our sons are pretty high tech, make good money and what ever they really want they buy themselves.  But there is other things they can’t buy and asf today I can honestly say we are done for this Christmas, at least for the gifts.  My wife still has lots to do, preparing for our family and guests, she just doesn’t stop.  But she enjoys doing it, so who am I to say any different.  On another note up here in the north where we live, there is one thing that we can always depend on, and that is a White Christmas, as I can’t remember when we ever had a green Christmas.   This morning looking out the trees are laden down with heavy snow and with the smoke hanging in the air from the wood furnaces and fireplaces in our area, what could be nicer,  Just something about it all makes me feel content. Just by looking out brings back so many memories of years gone by, which is what no one can buy at a department store.
