World War 3? Was it Her? Other Oddities.....

 I like to do oddities from time to time...Just to get things started.....

I have heard from people all hopped up about the Israel/Iran conflict. Wondering if this is the "End of Time?" " Is Jesus about to show back up?"

All these dispensationalist arm-chair theologians.....Been sitting in too many, Darby, Hal Lindsey, Left Behind, shows, lectures, sermons..... Meant to literally " Scare the Hell out of you" and help you " Find Jesus." 

Back in 1967, 1973 we went through the same thing during the " Six Day War" and the "Yom Kippur War."  Preachers around the country JUST KNEW these were the start of the " End of Time." We're all going to be Raptured. 

Well, 1973 is now 52 year ago....

And the world is knocking and rolling pretty good right now. Ukraine vs. Russia, a couple of weeks ago Pakistan and India and now, Iran and Israel. And I am not going to talk about the Civil Wars that go on in Africa constantly.  

What I really worry about is the price of gas at the pumps. But companies like Baker-Hughes are saying normal operations in the Middle East in spite of the Iran and Israel.  

 And the price of West Texas oil was down in price. 

- Second, about 5 people now have wondered if the person who did not get a "sniff" from Buna High concerning the government/economics job?

Was it Tara Sullivan-Laramore?  

And while I think Tara would be great in the position,  and I asked her to apply, she is done with teaching at this point.....And I do not blame her. 

Plus, I think she is getting a chance to travel sometime during the coming school year.....And if there is one thing the Ole Govteach is about it is traveling. Hell, St. Deb and I just did a bizarre Pittsburgh, across America to Seattle, to ride a damn boat to Alaska trip. ( And did I mention the best part of the trip....NY Strip steak every night for supper....) 

Travel while you can folks..... 

-Third......And I will catch flak for this one.....My 50th Reunion from Vidor High School is coming up at the end of this month...

I made the executive decision, I ain't going, and the venue it is being held in, is not far from my house. 

I just don't think I can stomach going to talk about my old high school days......I spent 30+ years after high school, still in high school.....I might get confused about some of the stories......And besides, people I really want to see, are not going. 

And the rest, well, when I walked out of VHS, I hoped to never see them again......I know, ugly, but it's the truth...
