I Won The California Lottery Once

I believe I have said it before on this Blog,or if I didn't,I should have."You give a dummy money, it doesn't make him any smarter."If youor I won theGeorgia Lottery,the first thing that would come to our mind is;
"Lottery winner invested part of $3M prize in meth ring."
By Crimsider Staff for CBS News on MSN.com
"A Georgia man could face life in prison after he invested part of his $3 million lottery winnings in a crystal meth ring, reports CBS affiliate WJAX. Ronnie Music Jr., 45, purchased large quantities of the drug meth with lottery winnings he won from a scratch-off ticket. Investigators determined Music was supplying meth to a group of co-conspirators who were caught trying to sell approximately 11 pounds, worth more than $500,000 on the streets. Agents seized more than $1 million of meth, firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, multiple cars and $600,000 in cash as part of the case.
Music pleaded guilty to federal drug and gun charges. He could face life in prison."
Did you read that last part of the story?Mister Ronnie Music Jr.is facing life in prison.For being aDumb Ass.I can't really comment on this story anymore than I already have.This type of person makes me sick. There are so many more deserving people out there in the World that would put the money to good use,but probably will never win a dime.Instead of taking his winningsand turning his life around for the better,this guy decides to invest his money in aMeth Ring.I wonder if theMeth Ringsells shares of their stock on theNASDAQ or theNew York Stock Exchange?
This is,Did You Know I Won The California Lottery Too?Yes,I Won $5 Last Week!Jim Hauenstein,

Chester Cat For President

I know that some of you will come to myBloglooking for that hard hitting commentary which I like to write,concerning the state of ourPolitical Situationin this Country.I have been called aLiberalby a few annotators for the views I have expressed in the past.And I am sure that"The Jeff"is concerned that I might be able to,persuade a few of you,who are on the fence as far as which candidate you are leaning towards voting for,to come over to my side.He would say,"The dark side!" How I might try to convince you that theRepublican Partyis crying everyday now because in their party,they don't have a viable candidate to becomePresident of the United States.How theRepublicanscould not find someone who had enough charisma to beat outDonald Trump at the polls. I am not going to sit hereand tell you that theRepublicanshave their collective heads up aDonkey's Ass.I am not going to sit hereand tell you how theDemocratic Partyand theirConventionwill be a lot better than theRepublican Convention.I am going to tell you that it couldn't be any worse.Maybe,just maybe,we will hear theDemocratstalk about some of the issue facing this countryand not keep repeating,"We will build a wall. A very tall wall."Normally,I might say here where theRepublicansare in such disarray since theParty Lineis now to stand behindMister Trump,when at the beginning of the campaign trail,theParty Leaderswere laughing atTrumpsaying he was not even to be considered,"In the picture of winning the nomination for the Republican Party."Normally,I would say that theDemocratsjust have to remember not to get overzealous,by thinking they can steal all the thunder away from theRepublicansbecause of their lacklusterConvention. These are some of the things you might expect from me,to talk about.Especially after theDemocratsopened theirConventionyesterday.That is what I think most people would expect from me.But,I have some very importantNewsto tell you about.On this date,in 1951,Disney's"Alice in Wonderland"premiered.

Vegetarian Zombie

You say what? There,
following you so close behind.Moaning his grief,the torture of his mind.
His arms reaching out,grabs like its mine.Stiff he waddles,each step a Frankenstein's.
He was born on the hollows,of all weens night.Just ate the candy,diluting his thoughts of foresight.
Ragged complexion,blackness of skin.A mouth drools open,for the sweetness within.
Sweetness the parasite,was his constant friend.A Mother's warning,never heeded in the end.
Now hide if you can,from his constant pursuit.Learn he has,the value of your vegetablesand fruit.
He raids your gardens,at night he does.Eating your veggies,the rightful healthier buzz.
No longer the monster,once sickened by sweets.Invigorating lifestyle,is his new bag of treats.
The Vegetarian Zombie,is what he likes to be known.But still,
he will bite you,so he won't eat alone!

I wrote the Poem a couple of years ago for my kids.
Last year I bought two 4 by 8 feet pieces of plywood.
First I painted the sheets grey and then I used white paint to write this Poem on them.
Then I nailed both up to a tree in my front yard for everyone to read when they came to my house,
Trick Or Treating.

Thank You One And All

When I started writing thisBlogmy original intent was to,put out,to the World,theFlash FictionandShort Storiesthat I love to create.Now,if you had your head in the gutter when I used the phrase,"Put Out,"you are my kind of person.But,in this instant,I intended no sexual innuendos.I try to write everyday on this Blog,for the practiceand the challenge of coming up with new ideas.I love when someone"Leaves A Comment."In the past,I have had humorous battles with some annotators who have left sarcastic comments.Like the one character who I like to call"The Jeff."I've had people scorn me for be tooLiberalafter they have read some of myPolitical Views.I even had a couple of comments from someone(Yaz),who said she actually learned some things from reading some of my more educationaland motivatingPosts.When mySistersigned up this last June as aFollower,I reached the25 Follower'smark.I know,it doesn't sound like a lot,and it isn't,but all milestones mean something to me.My newest milestone,the one where I was anticipating that I was going to get drunk by drinking a lot ofChampagne,came by last night while I was asleep. I forgot to set myBlog's View Counterto wake up my computer,and then my computer to wake me up,when2buckhowie.blogspot.com,hit the 25,000 view mark!I am happy to say,I had a whopping 401 views yesterday,bringing me over25,000 Viewssince I started writing thisBlog.Thank you one and all.

In Lieu Of

In lieu of the overbearing heatwave,here inSouthern California,I spent pretty much of the day with my second eldest daughter,Danielle.First we had to go shopping for her newFlat Screen TV, and then she had to buy aPlay Station 4. When we got home,I did what any father would do in this situation.I set up her newTVandSony Play Station,then proceeded to use both for the next couple of hours,before turning over the reins back to her.With all the fun I had today,and with all the Sun I was exposed to today,my mind is actually coming up blank,when it comes to picking something to write about.So,just like in theGrade Schoolthat I attended growing up,and the wonderfulScience Teacherthey had there,Mr.Potts,I am going to show you a video that I believe is pretty interesting.And just likeMr. Pottsall those years ago,the video is"In Lieu Of,"finding something good to write about.

Fighting Off Genetically Engineered Mutants Who Are Not Turtles

It was a close one todayBoys and Girls.What was,you could be asking yourself right now?Could it be,that I am talking about the overdueEarthquake that all the notedSeismologist have predicted forCalifornia?Which will probably make my back yard,Beach Front Property?I am actually about 35 miles East of the Pacific Ocean.So if it happens,that will be a hugeQuake.Or,could it be,that I am talking about the hazards of living in aTrailer Park.
Right in the smack dab middle ofTornado Alley?
What I believe it is,that is to say,if my instincts haven't failed me yet.And I am pretty sure they haven't.Aliens,from anotherPlanet,had spotted me,driving around town,and decided that I was a good specimen to be probe!Of course,if that were truly the case,I was probably in a high speed chase with theAliens.Where I would be driving myMercedes,and theAlienscould have been buzzing overhead in aFlying Saucer!Then I would have had to fight off the genetically engineeredMutants.Which are theSlave Robotsof theWarlord Proxima,from the Star system,Alpha Centauri.He used hisAmnesia-Sleep-Inducing-Where-Did-I-Wake-Up-This-Morning-Death-Rayon all of the unsuspecting groups of people,who were innocently attending some kind ofComic-Conat theConvention Center.The Cosplayers, had gathered around our little ferocious melee,probably thinking we are making a independent film for the opening day ofComic-ConinSan Diego, California.Well,I can't confirmor deny that last little tidbit of news because the warlord,Proxima,shot me himself with theA.S.I.W.D.I.W.U.T.M.-Death-Raygun!He is a good shot too!I nary felt a thing.If you were here,right now, inSan Diego, you would not believe your eyes.You would know my warnings aretrue,by seeing all the different types ofAliensroaming the streets!Here are a couple of the really ugly ones. Well,Boys and Girls,I told you it was a close one.It was,really.Because I Could Have Been Captured By One Of These Ugly Looking Aliens,Flown To Their Home In Their Flying Spaceship,Probably To Be Probe!

102 Degrees - And I Am Not Talking About A Boy Band Here

It was aHighof102 Degreestoday,in beautifulDowntown Temecula.Tomorrow,it is expected to reach102 Degreesagain.TheWeather Forecastfor Friday says it is going to be a blistering106 Degrees!  Right now,in Temecula,at 8:30 at night,it is a whopping,but a comfortable whopping,78 Degrees.Global Warming you ask?I am not sure ifGlobal Warming is a factor fiction,but there are a lot of smart people telling us it is true.I am just a little skeptical about the accuracy of the equipmentand the people,even 50 years ago,keeping accurate records.That was before anyone heard the buzzwords,"Global Warming."I have already started my personal campaign at home to teach the kids why it is so important to think about their future.I do this by personally practicing some of the guidelines to"Save Our Planet."  I have changed over toSolar Energy,replaced my light bulbs toFluorescentones,turned off myThermostat,Recycle,and a few of the other things that are listed on theState of Washington's Department of Ecologywebsite. Why use theState of Washington'swebpage?Well,when IGoogledmy question,they were the first site to pop up.Way to go Washington.Now back to my original thought process of why I brought upGlobal Warming.MyGrade School Science Teachertalked on this subject back during the middle 1960's.The way he told it was,"In our future, the Planet Earth will become increasingly hotter. This is due to the fact, that our Planet is overdue for another Ice Age. And if we do the research about the climate before an Ice Age, we will find that the Earth gets hotter before it gets colder."Well,I am not sure if myScience Teacherknew much more than was explained to us in ourScience Books.That is sort of what I mean aboutGlobal Warming.Would myScience Teachertoday, believe theWorldwas about toEndif he were alive today,with the same type ofKnowledgehe had during the 60's?There are a lot ofDoom Sayersin our everydayMediatelling us daily that we are all going to die.But,if I can recycle that one can of soda I drank today,maybe I'll be the one who can claim,"I saved the World!"Wait,damn.I left the can of pop,out in the Park,on a picnic table.With that whole bag of non-fluorescent bulbsand regular charcoal burning on the grill.Oh,and that plastic six pack holder,where it keeps your soda together, so you won't loose any of it,but is really bad for the fish?I threw that in the river by my houseand snagged three nicePerchin those same holders.

P.S. Before any Annotators want to rant about my little humor on the end of this Post, I already know that "Global Warming" is no laughing matter. But my Blog is not going to rally the troops behind this cause, if they are not behind the cause already. I am conscious about the facts of Global Warming and I try to do as much as I possibly can daily. If you don't believe me? Ask any gas station attendant in your local neighborhood and ask them if they ever saw me, going through their trash on Sunday morning, looking for aluminum cans. That's me!

This Anonymous Comments On My Blog

Anonymoushas reared its ugly head again!Let me clarify.I am not talking about the hacker group calledAnonymous.I actually like those menand women who take on hate groups likeISIS and theKu Klux Klan.Even though those two hate groups areWorldsapart,both of them use the same type of misinformationand terror tactics to get the power over others that they so crave. I like the realAnonymousbecause I feel they have a purpose in thisWorld.I feel that they have demonstrated restraint,by not using their skills as aWeaponagainstNormal,Blue Collar,Everyday Living People.Generally,they go after theOppressorsin life.TheseOppressorscould be aRulerof aCountry,Corporation,or of aMilitary.The realAnonymoustakes on theseTyrantsof theWorldwhile leaving theGeneral Publicalone.TheAnonymousI am talking about is the person who leavesCommentson one of myBlog,but doesn't want anyone to know who he is.That is perfectly fine.Everyone should have an opinion onWorld Affairs,Local Politics, andNational Politics. Because,what goes on in thePolitical World,eitherLocally,Nationally,orWorldlyhas a profound effect on all our daily lives.On my Post;An Agitator And A New Follower,thisAnonymoussaid; Anonymous July 18, 2016 at 2:04 PM"And the Clinton foundation hasn't taken contributions from foreign nations, OK."
I do hope that thisAnonymouswill do some research before making any future accusations without any facts to back up his or her claim.He or she believes that ifDonald the Stumpis getting away with taking money contributions fromForeign Country's,surely theDemocratsare doing the same thing?AllPoliticiansare criminals,right?This is the kind of pessimistic attitude that we have to work on as aNation.This pessimist,Anonymous,believes that theWorldis going toHellin a hen basket.Donald Stumpsays these crazy things because he is anEgomaniac.He already believes that he is above the law,Untouchable.Think how he would react to theWorldaround him if he becamePresident?

Pokemon At The Duck Pond

If you have been driving past your favorite Parkor sandlot lately,you might have noticed something unusual.Large groups of people,carelessly staring at their cellphones,while taking a walk.No,their cellphones are not turning these people intoZombies.These people are all playing the newest craze inGame Apps.It is called; I,myself started noticing the phenomena during mySummer Vacation.Even in myHometownofTemecula, California,the Pokemon Go Craze has hit the youngand old alike.We have a nicePark Systemhere in town.Maybe not as glamorous as theMidwestorEast Coastmight have,but we make do with what is here.One of the nice little features of our Park Systemis theDuck Pond. Where yes,ducks swim around on the pond all day long,waiting for someone like me,to throw them a piece of bread as a free meal.But yesterday was a first for me.I reckon,I saw at least one hundred people out in thePark on Sunday!And most of those people were doing theHead-Down-Pokemon-Walk.I'll admit,my kids play it too,and of course,I had to take asneak-a-peakat what the game is all about.I hate to say this though,but I might be a little too old to get any kind of enjoyment from the game.Yet,now that I think about it,the demographics the creators were shooting for was probably not theSixty and OlderCrowd!
