Anyway, because I've been somewhat under the weather as they say, life as I know it has not been all that exciting around here. Which is good and sad.
It is kind of sad, because the last few days have been so uneventful they have been beyond boring and I've spent most of my time in my pajamas. But on the other hand uneventful can be good too, because I've spent most of time in my pajamas.
This afternoon my good friend Mari sent me these two e-mails and the first one she sent made me green with envy, because I want this super-cool sidecar. And the only thing that I would change about it is the color.
If it were my sidecar I would paint the VW body maroon and the top white.
The other e-mail Mari sent to me made me laugh out loud. But before you get to see that e-mail, I want to tell you that Tony and I are very lucky people, because we have so many friends. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I am, because it is so true.
Seriously, every night and sometimes during the day I pray. At night when I first go to bed, I usually fall to sleep, before I can finish my nightly prayers.
The reason that I usually fall to sleep before I am able to finish my prayers, is because I ask God to please bless everyone that Tony and I know—including their families.
I am guessing that Tony and I probably have at least 100 - 200 friends that I try to say prayers for every night and it is not easy, because I am more forgetful nowadays.
But last year I developed a new strategy to make saying my prayers much easier and more efficient.
Originally, I alphabetized everyone that I said prayers for and their family and if your first name comes before the P's trust me you can bet that you were in my nightly prayers, before I fell asleep with Henry Standing Bear snoring in my face.
And in the morning long before I started doing my new habit ("Today is going to be a great day!" Clap my hands together loudly and then jump out of bed.) I would feel horrible wondering if I forgot the Q's - Z's.
That bugged me a lot and I felt it was unfair, so I then I tried doing the alphabet backwards, which I am not good at and I soon realized that I was in the Alpha state—snoring, long before I even got to the V's or the U's. So the rest of my friends and family got screwed too, so to speak.
Anyway, since those mind-boggling spelling B nights I started saying my prayers for my friends and family—geographically. And that worked sort of, because I would start with friends in Utopia, Austin, Germany, Medina, Norway, Terlingua, etc.
This was my best method until I decided I needed to alphabetize the locations, so I wouldn't forget anyone. Alpine was first, Austin, Australia, Austria—to (New) Zealand. And that is how I do it every night and I highly recommend this method—especially if you have insomnia.
The reason that I have told you this is because Tony and I have so many friends and most of them are much more intelligent than me on just about any subject, except when it comes to dogs, etc.
So, several weeks ago when we were visiting with our dear friends (Costa Rica) they told me about doing research on electrical and self-driving cars and the oil and gas industry. They told us that within a couple of years or sooner life as we know it will change for the better.
In this fascinating conversation about all of us will soon be driving electrical cars and charging them for free on our little solar pads and the gas and oil industry going down the tubes—they proved it. "The reason Ford, Chevy, etc. are shutting down plants right now and will start producing only one to five gas-fueled cars is because these companies see the future—solar! They are gearing up to produce electrical cars that will be affordable to everyone. This is happening right now, so do not buy any gas-fueled cars, because they are on the way out....It will end all oil and gas wars and it will help heal the Planet in so many ways. So our future looks bright!..."
Needless to say, they proved their point over and over again, to us. And just a few days ago I was watching the nightly news and listened to this reporter saying the exact same things about electrical and self-driving cars being our new future and I can't wait.
As I finish writing this post for tonight, I want to share Mari's other e-mail that she sent to me today that made me laugh out loud, even though I am a big Country music fan. (And I regret and apologize that I don't know where this originated from, so I can't give credit to whom it belongs.)
Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!
