So I get off of work Wednesday night at 11:50 p.m. I go home I get to bed is roughly 1:00 a.m. my alarm wakes me up at 6:00 a.m. and I leave my home about 7:30. 
  I am very thankful I have the chance to support my church's food ministry. I get to associate with many very good people who want to do a good thing. 
  There was a great deal of needs in our community, and if I can work to help with some of them for some people then that is very positive. I'm so thankful that I have the resources and ability to do so. 
  The paperwork said we received 2000 pounds worth of donations this morning. All of which had to be carried from the sidewalk into the church and down a flight of stairs. I am not the oldest person on our squad, but I feel like I am the weakest link some days. 
   We got finished getting everything ready just about noon. I was able to go out and get a nice leisurely lunch, but it was at a breakfast spot! Stacks on 38 in Moorestown, New  Jersey. A very good and filling meal with wonderful service at a decent price, I couldn't ask for much more.
   I was able to get to work about 2:00 p.m., and thankfully I am permitted to start an hour ahead of our regular shift, I work with a great troop but at midday there was just so much work that we may need to have overlapping shifts instead of a 15 minute break between them, the days of COVID are passed (at least I pray so).
   It was a long tough night at work, but things slow down about 10:00 p.m.  I get off work about 11:45 p.m., like usual. 
   But instead of going home after a long tough day I grab my laundry and head to my local 24-hour laundromat, where I am presently. 
   At 1:00 in the morning there's nobody at the laundromat. Unfortunately, on the television the is  broadcasting last night presidential debate. What a fiasco this is that these two bozos are our choices? Both seem to be yammering and stammering exaggerators, or even downright liars. It would be a good thing if they just both retired and wrote a memoir and go into obscurity. 
  I tried, but I can't turn off the television nor screencast or even change channels. So I am outside in the buggy night air otherwise I'd be inside getting frustrated by what I see on television.

NJ Transit Fare Holiday Adventure

Image
When Governor Murphy announced the Fare Holiday week, which included Labor Day weekend, I knew I had to take advantage of this!  The question became when and where? It is the end of summer, so my thoughts were of ‘Summer things’ (at least in my mind). The Jersey Shore? Most certainly! But which beach? I took the Atlantic City Line train to Atlantic City on Memorial Day, which was already checked off for the summer of 2024. Maybe this was the excuse I needed to get on New Jersey Transit’s longest bus line: The 317 which runs from Philadelphia to Asbury Park and passes right in front of my home in Mt. Holly?   After checking maps and weather, the plan began to come together: First Stop: Point Pleasant Beach. What comes after that, I don’t know. After spending two-plus hours on a bus, maybe I won’t want to do this much more. After spending some time on the boardwalk, I can walk a few blocks to the train station, where a few buses stop also, and see where I end up. Maybe I co...

2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE TRIP

  2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE TRIP “You can’t take your vacation between Father’s Day and Thanksgiving,” the boss told me one day in February, “and the sooner you pick your days, the less of a chance someone else will take the days you want.” “Okay, I’ll pick them up soon,” was my reply. Had no idea about taking some time off. Had lots of travel dreams but no plans, no passport, and not a whole lot of money. The Lord heard the prayer of my heart, event if it wasn’t the one of my lips. That Sunday in church, Major Navarro made an announcement. “This year we are going to be hosting a special campaign during Holy week, the Territorial Evangelists will be visiting us and will be running special services each day from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. We are going to be needing everybody’s help between now and Easter.” At this time I was taking Soldier classes, which are like doctrine training and was on track to get installed as a Senior Soldier on Easter Sunday. This was just the righ...
