Rescue Me

"It's feels like someone just dropped a Napalm on our ass." - Robin Williams (Good Morning Vietnam)

Hot diggy damn!!! Phoenix is a the best place for a devil's convention. I think of all the hot places I've been to in my life, and nothing quantifiably comes close to Phoenix. The other night I took my dog, Hero, for a walk. It was 10 o'clock and it was 93 degrees outside with a warm breeze hitting me in my face as the cactus' fanned themselves. I was thinking about all the displaced placed people from New Orleans arriving in Phoenix looking for work. There was a story of one guy, who used to work in construction down in New Orleans, and got a job working construction out here in Phoenix. Somebody out to tell that guy that they work 5 days a week here. On Fridays, you can't knock off at lunch time to loiter around the local Brothers Food Mart drinking tallies and swapping stories about your glory days in high school. Needless to say, it's great to hear people getting back up on their feet.

My younger brothers seemed to be adjusting to So. Cal experience. It all seems relative sometimes because you kind of wish this was a vacation. There are times I wish I could go back home. Just to feel the comfort of my homely confines. Still, life is getting better. Working on a plan to start over. I was thinking that Bolivia sounded nice. I hear they have a lot of nice banks in Bolivia. There are so many options. Long Beach, San Diego, Austin, Richmond, and were ever else the car and others will put us up for a while.

Despite all the well wishes people have been sending me I am looking forward to a new beginning. New beginnings are scary, but it's all for the betterment of our lives. As a friend once told me don't stand still to long or the water gonna rise up and drown ya'. Stay dry and keep on moving.
