Do You Have The Right Stuff
A lot of us grow up wishing we could go to the Moon or Mars one day. So if your still have an inkling in the back of your mind that you want to travel an average of 158.1 million miles, one way, to the Red Planet, I have the Link for you. The pay is good. It starts around $66,000.00 to $147,000.00 per year. You'll have to move to Houston though. I've been there, it's a great place to carry your gun out in the open. Yes, it is legal there to carry a side-arm out in the open. Last time NASA opened up its website for applications it took in over "16,000" and picked the best "9" I believe in total. But if you've got the right stuff, go to http://astronauts.nasa.gov/astro_lp.htmand lead the way to Mars!

“The symbolism seemed so apt. The same technology that can propel apocalyptic weapons from continent to continent would enable the first human voyage to another planet. It was a choice of fitting mythic power: to embrace the planet named after, rather than the madness ascribed to, the god of war.” - Carl Sagan -
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Taking A Long Time To Heal
Well, I'm back! Barely. I have to rethink my philosophy about the flu shot. I got hit really hard this time and it also came with a bought of Pneumonia. When I was going through my hot and cold sweats, I did come up with three story lines I might pursue. Let me rephrase that. Two of the three stories I believe have potential of having stories written about them, but the third, Disney would never let me get away with this idea. It was going to be about how I met "Jimminy Cricket" outside a convenient store, with a sign saying help and holding a tin cup. I ask him how he came to this and he tells me a story about him and "Mickey Mouse" jockeying for power, with Mickey winning out.The next story I dreamt was about fables told to children on another planet by their parents. Don't want to give any more details then that until I'm finished.My last idea I dreamt was about the Inuit Space Agency. Yes those Inuits. I'm going to try to write that story under the Heading, "Poetry, Short Stories, Flash Fiction, A Novelette, & A Novel You Can Buy."You can follow along as I write it, rewrite it, and finally rewrite it, hopefully into a interesting story.I'm not too sure when this will all come to pass since I'm still not one hundred percent healthy yet. But my plan is to write here, on this Blog everyday again as I'm feeling stronger.

The Infamous Greatest Maritime Disaster In United States History
Did you ever receive one of those Prize winning envelopes in the mail? Where, if you go downtown to the Regency Hotel’s Conference Hall, and listen to an hour presentation about a Timeshare somewhere on the Coast, they award you with a prize? I did, recently, when I was really bored about 6 months ago. I decided I would go. I called the 1-800 number, talked to a customer service representative to verify my attendance, and on the very next day, found myself outside the Hotel. I walked inside, wondering where all the placards were, pointing out directions to where the Timeshare presentation would be held. I didn’t see any, so I went up to the Receptionist behind the front desk and asked about the event.To my surprise, he asked if my name was Reuben Hatch. I said it was, and he handed me a manila envelope, telling me the event had been cancelled due to the lack of participation. The people, who were going to hold the event, told the Receptionist that if I showed up for the presentation, I should be given this envelope. I went out to my car, opened the envelope, found one airline ticket to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, one bus ticket for a ride to the Mississippi River Landing, and one ticket for an “Old Fashion Mississippi Steamboat Cruise.” This was great, it was just what I needed. A free vacation on a river cruise! I booked the flight immediately, made reservations on the cruise ship, and packed only an overnight bag. Figuring, with all the money I’m saving on a surprise vacation, I’ll just buy new clothes as they’re needed. The first night, on the ship, went as smoothly as one would want. I awoke so refreshed, that the next day I got out of my quarters around 6 a.m. I moseyed up to the main deck expecting to find couples walking around searching for the dining hall, like I was. I didn’t see a soul. That was quite odd since I surely remember seeing a crowd of army, uniformed guests, gathered around the deck when I boarded the night before. It was pretty hazy out, due to an evening mist, but there were hundreds, maybe thousands of them last night.
I never did get close to the other passengers though, but a Porter, by the name of Cass Mason, who led me to my room said, "Everything will be explained in due course." Now, up on the main deck, I didn’t see a soul. I immediately went up to the Captain’s Quarters to knock on his door to find some answers. What I found instead was a note. Framed, encased in glass, stating that, “This Mississippi Steamboat Cruise Line is self-efficient. Not a Living Crew Member on board.” Meaning, I thought, no one on board except for myself and the other passengers. That, I thought, would be the reason why I hadn’t seen anyone. Because I didn’t read any pamphlets in my quarters, which would have told me the ins and outs of procedure on this ship. How technology has changed our lives, I thought. Then, after finding a directory by my sleeping quarters, I headed down to the mess hall. The closer I got, the more hideous of an order, flowed in my direction. After finding it, I found out why, and things became even creepier! There was row after row of toppled tables, overturned chairs, broken china on the floor, and silverware scattered everywhere. It looked like full meals were being served when some kind of tragedy had happened. Except, now these meals were spoiled rotten. Mold was growing on everything. And the stench. It was disgusting. I went back out into the corridor and regurgitated. I couldn’t help myself. I spit a few times trying to get the taste out of my mouth, then ran as fast as I could to my quarters. Why is it, we feel safer in a place, where we once rested our heads? We feel safe in our own homes, in our rooms inside a Hotel, even safer sleeping inside a nylon tent in the middle of the woods where grizzlies and black bears live, then to directly sleep out in the open. But my room made me no less afraid of what more I would find on this free Steamboat River Cruise. I went back to the directory, where I had located the Dining Hall in the first place, to see if it showed me how I could contact the owners or the people who booked my vacation. I was shocked by the fact that I hadn’t noticed the name of the ship before. It was called the Sultana. A steam ship, if I remember my family history correctly, on April 27th, 1865 had three of its four boilers explode, killing 1,800 Civil War Union Soldiers! My Great-Great-Granddad had chartered this boat for them! I’m on board a ghost ship! I ran to the lifeboat area and found none. All the lifeboats it seems were missing. As I floated down the river I would see boaters, skiers, fishermen, and I would yell to them, “Call the authorities about a runaway Cruise Ship.” But no one seem to notice me or the ship. And no rescue crews ever came. By this time, I had had enough of this weirdness. So I looked for an area of slow moving water, figuring the rapid flowing waters were due to rocks being close to the surface, causing faster currents. I saw what I was looking for, jumped overboard, and splashed into the icy cold, freezing waters, of the Mississippi. Hypothermia must have set in quicker than normal, because I blacked out almost immediately. The last thing I remember, was seeing Cass Mason the Porter, clearly through the Mississippi waters wearing a Riverboat Captain’s uniform. It seemed like he reached down, from Sultana’s main deck, grabs me by the scruff of my neck, as I was passing out. Now, once again, I awake in my sleeping quarters on the Sultana. I placed this note inside this corked wine bottle so you, the finder, can help me by reporting my fate to the authorities. I haven’t eaten in months! There is no fresh water to drink! Please help me. I don’t know why I am still alive! At night, if I even try to sleep, I hear the screams of thousands of men as they are torn apart by explosion after explosion after explosion. Cries for help haunt my waking hours. And if I hide in my cabin, I hear the Captain’s boots walking the decks. Each step getting louder and louder until I scream for all them to stop! I jump into the Mississippi almost daily now to end my ghostly hauntings. After each time though, I awake inside my quarters. And now, each time, I can hear the Captain speaking to me when he pulls me out of those waters. “My boat’s capacity was for only 376 patrons, but your kin swayed me with the filth of gold to place over 2,000 war veterans on these decks. You shall suffer for your Forefather’s greed, cause I alone cannot be blamed for all those 1,800 deaths. You will float these waters with me until the fallen have forgiven us and say we need not ride the Mississippi no more.” Please, if you don’t believe I speak the truth, can you at least ask the families of the fallen Union Soldiers to forgive the Captain and I? I can’t live like this any longer, or I can’t be dead like this any longer!

Phil Robertson Endorses Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz
It's the Political Season for the Presidency of the United States. It's like the Olympics, it happens every four years, rain or shine. What is fun around this time of the Season, is all the jockeying go on behind the scenes, to grab as many endorsements as you can as a Candidate. Hillary Clinton has a bucket load of endorsements coming in. From Gun Control Advocates, Planned Parenthood, 135 House of Representatives, 37 Senators, the Attorney General, to the International Alliance of Theatrical Employees. (International? Does that mean the Greek actors get to endorse too!) Well, we all know Hollywood has always been a juggernaut for endorsing the Democrats. So there is no surprise there. On the other hand, "Donald 'never met a minority I couldn't offend' Trump, stuck on zero endorsements as GOP lawmakers back Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio." by Stephen Dinan & Seth McLaughlin for the Washington Times
(I might have personally added to Donald's middle name.) "Donald Trump still doesn’t have a single governor or member of Congress endorsing his bid for the White House — a stunning shutout for the Republican Party’s national front-runner that underscores just how anathema he remains even for the most die-hard anti-Washington lawmakers. Even lawmakers who have spoken well of Mr. Trump have either backed another candidate or say they will stay neutral. That leaves the billionaire businessman, along with retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, as the only two major Republican candidates without top-level endorsements."
But, finally, the endorsement of all endorsements was announced today. I can see Hillary, Donald, Bernie, Marco, Ben, and the rest of the pack of barely holding on Candidates, who will now probably drop from the race after losing this endorsement, all crying in their morning cereal bowls. Because Ted Cruz is the big winner today. Yes he is. "Senator Rafael Edward 'Ted' Cruz, would you like to say a few words to our readers, on receiving such a prestigious endorsement?"
"Umm, gracias?"
What a wonderful speech, from another Republican Candidate, for the Presidency of the United States. Oh, wait,
a few more words from Senator Cruz."What endorsement are we talking about?"
You don't even know? It's from Phil Robertson."Who?"
Asks the fine Senator from Texas.Phil Robertson. You know. The patriarch and brains behind the TV show, Duck Dynasty!"I'm out of here."
Thank you Senator Cruz for coming by and giving your insights to this very important endorsement. Let's give the Senator a rousing round of applause everyone. Bye Bye Senator.Now, knowing who those fine people at Duck Dynasty are endorsing, doesn't it piss you off enough to want to go out today and learn what the different Candidates are all about?If you haven't, Register To Vote.

Create Something From Nothing
What is God? The Oxford Dictionary says; "In Christianity and other monotheistic religions - the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being." And; "In certain other religions - a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity."
God has many names from many different cultures and from the different kinds of people in the World. My favorite, is the Greek interpretation, which is the Alpha and the Omega. The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. But, to put it in the simplest terms, for the sake of this Post, we will use the word, God, and hopefully, I won't offend any religious groups or religious person. Because, as each individual looks at someone
or something and sees beauty, "Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder," to explain their attraction to that someone or something.I would use Margaret Wolfe Hungerford's quote and change it to, "God, and the interpretation thereof, is in the eye of the beholder." As far as Atheists go, who believe there is no God, and one of their reasons that they profess to this, is shown by the evidence of, the atrocities that Man inflicts upon his fellow Man. "How could an all powerful Being let these atrocities happen?" Simply put. Free Will. Should God interfere every time a Billionaire cripples or closes a business, disregarding what will happen to the employees working there? A King be smite down as a pillar of salt for a genocide he commits against a group of people? Or a Serial Killer be gun down before he can commit a crime? God Created Something Out Of Nothing and he watches that something take on, A Life Of Its Own! Why does it have a life of its own?Because of Free Will. Like the three examples I gave of human beings who believe they are a kind of God by the sheer fact that they rule over the lives of others. The Billionaire, The King, The Serial Killer. If God interfered with every man, woman, and child's decision on what they should do next in life to make sure it is the right way, there would be no Free Will. No man or woman will ever be a Supreme Being, even though so many have tried. The closes one can come, is by Creating Something From Nothing. The
Oxford Dictionary
explains the word Create as; "Bringing something into existence."That does not mean Constructing an Empire at the cost of human life. Building a Billion Dollar Corporation by crushing other Corporations in the process and ruining employee's lives for profit. Or holding a person life in the palm of your hands, no matter how deranged you are. Those things create nothing but hardship, pain, and misery for your fellow man. Creating Something From Nothing is what Albert Einstein did with his thoughts. What Vincent van Gogh did with his paintings. Ludwig van Beethoven did with his music. And Ernest Hemingway did with his writings. The list goes on and on. From Plato to Stephen Hawking. Aristotle to John Lennon. Leonardo da Vinci to J.R.R.Tolkien. Mary Shelly to Marie Curie. No one can personally reach immortality, but their names and their accomplishments can. You want to change the World? Make the Earth a better place to live in for us all? Get a taste of immortality in History? Create Something From Nothing and let the World be astounded by what you've done!

Oppai Cell Phone Cover
I know the rest of the World has a different attitude on subjects like sex and violence than we do, here, in the United States. When I lived in Houston, Texas, I had a friend who was born and raised in Jamaica. Yes, he lived the Rastaman lifestyle and had a Reggae sounding speech to him. One time, he asked me,"Why do your Television shows, show so much violence? When it comes to sex, the most natural thing in the World, your Television refuses to show it because it might corrupt your children, but people with guns, killing other people, a most unnatural act, is shown all the time?"
My only answer? I blame the Puritans. Where looking at the ankles of a Lady was an act of lust, back in the 1700s, that you had to do a penance to ask for forgiveness and to forgive yourself. We all know how the French feel on this subject. Even if you are married, if you don't have a Mistress, there must be something physically wrong with you. Meaning, sex is good, violence is not. But, I'm a little confused on a new product coming out of Japan though. What age group is an Oppai cell phone cover for?
Oh, you didn't know what Oppai meant?The Urban Dictionary defines Oppai as a Japanese word meaning; A woman's breasts. A tasty treat.The people in Japan selling the cover advertise it as,"When you just want to touch and squish something other than the front screen of your iPhone, great for Oppai fans."
Okay? I have a box of them on order for all my friends for their coming birthdays. Won't that be a pleasant surprise for them! Now, if the Japanese could come up with something useful, like the"Noiseless Karaoke Mute Mic. A soundless singing microphone for iPad, iPhone, smartphone, tablet, or any other device which takes a small USB type of plug."
Wait, they did! They sell it on the website Japan Trend Shop. I'll never have to hear those out-of-tune notes again!

My only answer? I blame the Puritans. Where looking at the ankles of a Lady was an act of lust, back in the 1700s, that you had to do a penance to ask for forgiveness and to forgive yourself. We all know how the French feel on this subject. Even if you are married, if you don't have a Mistress, there must be something physically wrong with you. Meaning, sex is good, violence is not. But, I'm a little confused on a new product coming out of Japan though. What age group is an Oppai cell phone cover for?
Oh, you didn't know what Oppai meant?The Urban Dictionary defines Oppai as a Japanese word meaning; A woman's breasts. A tasty treat.The people in Japan selling the cover advertise it as,"When you just want to touch and squish something other than the front screen of your iPhone, great for Oppai fans." Okay? I have a box of them on order for all my friends for their coming birthdays. Won't that be a pleasant surprise for them! Now, if the Japanese could come up with something useful, like the"Noiseless Karaoke Mute Mic. A soundless singing microphone for iPad, iPhone, smartphone, tablet, or any other device which takes a small USB type of plug."
Wait, they did! They sell it on the website Japan Trend Shop. I'll never have to hear those out-of-tune notes again!This is,Singing In The Rain On My New Karaoke Mute Microphone Which Is Plug Into My Smartphone With The New Oppai Cover,Jim Hauenstein,

Let's Enter A Renaissance Office Pool
Yesterday, I wrote how this Blog might become passe after I won the 1.3 billion dollar Powerball Lottery.You know, this lottery thing has been going on a long time. One of the first, was held in England.Story by Chris Carter for Money Week
By 1566, England’s harbors and coastal defenses were looking a little shabby. To fix them, Queen Elizabeth I would either have to raise taxes or hold a glittering prize drawing to raise the money. Selling tickets for the chance to win a prize was nothing new. The idea had been around on the continent for at least a hundred years, where lotteries were sometimes held by merchants looking to shift expensive stock that wasn’t selling. On January 11th, 1569, outside the west wing of the old St Paul’s Cathedral in London, people huddled together against the chill to see what they had won in England’s first state lottery. The event was hardly a runaway success. Less than 10% of the 400,000 tickets had been bought at ten shillings each. If you think that was a bit steep, you could always buy a share of a ticket – a sort of Renaissance office pool. Every ticket was guaranteed a prize. Prizes ranged from silver plates and tapestries to a £5,000 jackpot. Your lottery ticket was a blank piece of paper. On it, you wrote your name and a unique ‘message.’ One ticket that survived from the 1569 lottery read, “God send a good lot for my children and me, which have had 20 by one wife truly.”
It’s probably fair to say, that guy needed the money. I just thought of a sure fired way of you winning money instead of wasting time and what little money you have on the lottery.All my life, I have refused to gamble in Las Vegas, betting on sports.I'll show you why. Let's take NFL Football for an example. Last weekend I picked the Houston Texans over the Kansas City Chiefs.The Cincinnati Bengalsover the Pittsburgh Steelers.Minnesota Vikings over the Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Redskins over the Green Bay Packers. See where I'm going with this? Just take all of your life savings out of the Bank, bet on the opposite teams that I pick, and we'll split the profits! How about that for a good deal? We'll split the profits!OK, here are my upcoming picks.Kansas City Chiefs over the New England Patriots. The Green Bay Packers over the Arizona Cardinals. The Seattle Seahawks over the Carolina Panthers.And finally, the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Denver Broncos.Bet against my picks, split the profits with me, and we'll both become rich!

I'm sad to say, one of my musical Heroes died yesterday. When I was playing bass in the different rock bands through the late 70s and through the 80s, David Bowie was a staple, as far as playing cover songs were concerned, when I played live in clubs. He will be sorely missed.A music video off his last CD.Lazarus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8
