So did the Lions Defense. I really hoped the Lions could pull it off. Hopefully they can make a few good moves in the off season and come back even better next year.

Mike congrats

I question why this has happened, as she is a great person, why couldn't this happen to some gangbanger that's out shooting up neighborhoods?

Anyway. We don't know how she's going to respond to the chemo, which starts on the 18th, so I'm working on a home business, so I can be close to her whenever she needs me. The link is in my sig; usatyourservice.webs.com. I just finished setting the site up, but if any of you need any of the services listed, let me know; and if you know of any businesses or individuals that may want my services, let me know.

It's greatly appreciated. Thanks, hope everyone has been doing well.
I am sorry to hear about your wife. It sure does seem that life isn't fair some times for sure. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

For anybody wondering about the WTF vehicle in today's blog. That is my service vehicle at the Mouse House. It is a 1999 Cushman White Van. It is also available as a pick up truck. It is powered by a gasoline four cylinder engine with a three speed manual transmission. It doesn't have power steering or power brakes. It does have air conditioning, heat, and an am-fm cassette stereo. The van has a governor on it to make it's top speed 22 MPH. Without the governor it would do 60. Because of it's narrow and short wheel base it isn't hard to give it road rash. Some of our vans have a bad case of road rash. The guests really like my van. I tell them that it is my mini-mini van. I tell them that after I prove myself I can get a minivan and if I am really good I can get a real van. They usually laugh and then want to take it for a spin which I have to decline. I think my van is really cool. Unfortunately I have been told that my van will get retired later this year. It only has 41000 miles on it but getting parts has become difficult. The van was built in Taiwan. Overseas these vans are regular over the road vehicles. Here in the states they are off road vehicles only. When my van gets retired I will get a Club Car which is a glorified golf cart. It has no a/c, no radio, no heat, no doors, and is even slower than the Cushman. That is going to suck.
