10News - San Diego fire truck struck by hit-and-run driver overnight on SR-52 - 10News.com - News

Most likely a drunk or drugged driver or just someone without insurance, it show's how driving under the influence can cause you to screw up, I mean don't get me wrong, I know accidents happen and sometimes emergency vehicles are involved in traffic accidents but rarely are they involved in a hit and run accident and even that much rarely are they hit in the middle of the night during the "witching" hour but when the unthinkable happens and someone is involved in an traffic accident with a firetruck, ambulance or police vehicle they never take off running so that pretty much tells me who ever was involved in this hit and run had to be drinking.

I imagine the driver in this case will most likely be caught for two reasons, however, the first is that many first responder vehicles have dashboard or better camera's and second any bystanders are probably remember more details about an accident involving a fire truck. The thing that sucks is that unless the person is caught and for some odd reason is still under the influence of something or using some drug that has a short half life and can still be detected in the blood or urine to the point it could determine that the driver was under the influence during the accident the person will probably only be charged with hit and run.

Come on people I just wish we would for once, as a human race remember so much we do in our lives effect others whether in the positive or negative (so often in the negative) and in the process effect us personally the same way and it is a shame that even those people who risk their lives to protect ours on a daily basis aren't safe from those idiots who refuse to drive sober!!

10News - Thieves strike Rolando Park Elementary School; windows smashed, computers stolen - 10News.com - News

People suck, to go out and strike out at the little kids this way. These children are out enjoying their Christmas break with their families right now and will return to school on Monday just to find out some scum bag adults or teenagers broke into their schools while they where away and stole their computers. School is one of the places children should feel safe and when a place of safety such as this is struck it takes a lot away from the children's world. I just wish adults would grow up and respect others!!

It is just so awful that humans have such disrespect for each other that they even strike out at our innocent children. There are two important parts of a child's life and those two parts would be family and school, and I hate to say in some respects children are unsafe at home and only have school to look forward to each and every day where they can go and feel safe and respected only to find that adults can even strike them their.

It's not just that the classroom computers where stolen, because those can be replaced, expensive yes, but they can be replaced it's the fact the child's security can be taken away. Even if children don't see the results of the break end by loosing out on computer time or seeing the damage, children hear things, they can hear teachers and other staff talking about the break ins, they sit with their parents in the morning as everyone is preparing for their day as the news is on or the parents read the papers and discuss what happened.

The worse thing of all is when things happen as described above such as where the children either witness the damage or missing equipment first hand or even just hear about it, many, many times it takes away that child's faith in education and they may start to think why should I take my education or education in general  seriously when those adults who I put my trust in to ensure I get my education don't even respect me enough to make sure I receive a safe and quality education?

I doubt there are any children reading this good ole' blog of mine but their may be a teenager, I just want you too know their are adults out here like me who do care about you, your educations and your lives. Just keep working hard and keep that promise in your heart and remember you can accomplishment any thing you put your mind to, just keep faith in the adults in your life, and if some reason you feel you are being let down by the adults, let it be known how you feel and what you need and their will be people there to help you the best we know how.

King Co. deputy arrested on-duty denies allegations | KING5.com Seattle

 You know, yes even a police officer is innocent until proven guilty of a crime. This officer is a 15 year veteran of the Sheriff''s department and I am finding it hard to believe that she was hunched over the steering wheel of his vehicle while under the influence of narcotics. I actually hope I am right and what he would be guilty of is falling a sleep on duty, which isn't good but it's not being under the influence of narcotics either!!!

2014 It Is Here

Well ladies and gentlemen, we have made it once again to another year and believe me in this day and age whether you where born on Jan 01, 2013 that is an accomplishment to have made it to Jan 01, 2014 and for a youngster like me who was born way back to 1966 who is getting a month closer to making it to 48 I think I am doing quite well.

I look back into my past and remember the ghosts of New Years Past, my first being Jan 01, 1967 not that I actually remember that year but I do know many people of my fathers age group where serving overseas in the United States newest war in Vietnam, that after the generations before them served in the war to end all wars, World War II and Korea and here where our young men and women in this out of the way country that  few remembered  hearing about before they where shipped out.

Of course today the constant rotating war machine hasn't stopped and we've lost service members in Lebanon, Panama, Grenada, Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. Another odd thing is every new year every President, King, Queen, Prime Minister and dictator have placed their wish for world peace as New Years wish to the voting (or oppressed) public.

So what am I looking for in 2014? Well let me see as some of you may have seen in a past rambling post about my son, so of course I want my son with me, also sticking with family I must say though I don't mention her very often because of her chronic shyness. My best friend is such a wonderful lady, her name is Sandi and we have known each other since 1998 and married since January 22, 2000 so here we are going on our 14th year.

It's funny people think hey you and Sandi had a really good dating period, 2 years of dating before you married, ah but they don't know what was really behind that, my poor memory, believe me I wanted to marry my soul mate two year earlier but see us waiting until 2000 I (We) will never forget what anniversary it is. It's easy math since we married Jan 22, 2000 this year 2014 will be our 14th wedding anniversary. Pretty smart right (although I think she is the one who needs reminding (joking)).

What I want is peace, I want peace in my family, in my home and in my country, in my world. The problem is I don't see it in my life time and I hate to say probably not in my son's because of the plan for so many to wage terror on the innocent's who have nothing to do with government but to vote for the people sitting in office.

Well good luck people the new year has started and it looks like it is going to be a great on this new year, just be careful but don't hide from the thug Terrorists

10News - Heavy holiday crowds force Disney World to turns guests away from the Magic Kingdom - 10News.com - News

 Wow has this ever happened before? That place is so huge I can't imagine it being filled to capacity, but no matter how unbelievable it may be I am sure that Disney didn't turn people away just to give their workers some time off, they are in business of making money and if they where turning people away at the gates than Disney World must have been filled 100% to the brim and then some. This may be a bad thing to into history for, but if it is the first time over all these years that they turned people away than I guess that is a great history and possibly may be the first gleaming of recovery for the country.

I'm not a expert but at my age I know that when times get rough financially many times the first thing many of us set aside are summer trips and family vacations during the holidays, if Disney World was so packed that they had to close the gates and turn people away than this may be like a said a show of recovery. Even if many of these people visiting where local, Disney World and Disneyland tickets are not cheap.

So whatever you may feel about this, please allow me this little glimmer of hope and think of it as a time that our economy is getting better if we are able to spend the money to let our little ones run free in the Magic Kingdom!!

10News - Beloved 'Fresh Prince' star James Avery dies at 65; played character Uncle Phil on hit 1990s sitcom - Story

 So very Sad, he was a great actor and a great person. My prayers go out too all his family and friends. I know it has to be hard for everyone who worked with him on the set of Fresh Prince and at such a young age. Sad that such a great person is gone.

I was already out of my parents home and in the US Navy when this show was running new, and I wish there where show out there like Fresh Prince today. Instead our options for our children is 16 and pregnant and other show glamorizing alcohol, drugs and teenage sex. It wasn't necessarily as "wholesome' as the Walton's or Little House On The Prairie but it is a show I wouldn't be afraid to let my 7 year old son watch today at a time where I have a hard time with some of the "children's" cartoons the put on the air today.

10News - Man falls, dies at San Diego Convention Center - 10News.com - News

Sad, I really hope he didn't jump the sad thing though, although I'm guessing it's quite probable that alcohol was involved whether he climbed up there and fell our jumped. You know everyone over 21 (should be 18, 18-20 year old's can serve in Afghanistan but not drink legally) can legally drink and make their won choices and I don''t ever want to take away peoples rights but I wish people would look at alcohol as the dangerous drug it can be if not treated with respect.

The thing about alcohol is you don't even have to have an addiction for it to cause trouble for the drinker and the family, the effects of just one family member being addicted to alcohol can devastate a entire family or even community just like this example.

Again I don''t  know the entire circumstances regarding here with this young man, but I am about 99.99% sure that alcohol will be involved in this young mans death, and that makes me sad and I want everyone of his family members and friends I and my family are praying for them.
