Turn your clocks back an hour Saturday night. There are stupider things than the clock swap, but they are all in Washington, D.C., and we can't do anything about them either.

If you and a friend would like to make the big bucks off the state of Oklahoma, here's the plan. East of Nash where you go south to Ringwood is the ideal spot for a wreck. When you are coming to the intersection from the south during the day, the weeds make it impossible to see what's coming from the east. You'll need to plan the wreck where you both get the elusive whiplash back injury, and then sue the state for having such a dangerous intersection. I will be happy to be a witness, for a small fee. I don't know who to blame for the weeds not being mowed on so many ditches, but once upon a time there was pride in caring for our roads.

Before I start this rant just let me say I feel very sorry for the Jims, Ardens, Marys, Sues and all the other just common folks caught in these wars around the world. I also feel sorrier for the veterans, homeless, poor, and hungry in our country. Our government has allocated $14 billion in aid to Israel. This is on top of all the military stuff we are sending them. Since WWII, we have sent Israel $270 billion in military and humanitarian aid. We have sent over $75 billion dollars to Ukraine.

Besides shortchanging every American on goods and services by sending all our money overseas, eventually China, Russia, or maybe a small island nation will take us over without firing a shot because we have exhausted our funds and military to a point we cannot feed or defend ourselves. I feel bad for these nations, but we can no longer just throw money at every country that is having problems. Let's pull the sugar teat out of the world's mouth, take care of our own, and let the world stand on its own feet.

I hate to see news shots of people holding "We hate America" signs after we have sent them billions in aid. Oh yea, how much does the rest of the world send in aid? There were 15 other countries that sent aid to the Ukraine, but all added together weren't half of what we have sent. Sorry, I just get upset with our government being spend crazy with my money.

Sad day for Bubba! He got a divorce and split the house with his ex. He got the outside!

Let's all be safe out there and God bless.
