Is it time for Merry Christmas? |
|
I think I mentioned that phrase on someone else's comments the other day |
| Maybe you been with me recently and have witnessed my recent lost toenail. Don't worry it just gets better from here. As always my blogs are multiple part stories.
This is a picture of a fork lift from one of my prior blogs. I'm not boisterous. I've talked about my drag car previously with some of my own privilege but this oncoming machine is a little bit different.
Now let's all get this one right because this story is very important to me. There are Some people out there that know who I am. Yeah, I really have a name but it is important to my friends that I remain anonymous. That one is just as important for my story today. Yeah, we all get dressed, "gassed up" and drive to our employments. What else do we do? |

This fork lift is a "bad ass". Believe me, it's a big one. I volunteer to drive this mother to deliver food that is needed to our state's hungry folks. You know, it might seem funny; trust me; carrying a great weight over our heads is incredibly dangerous. Any of us might just fall over. I volunteer and no, I'm not kidding.
A government organization here in Hawaii called Lokahi called me the last week and asked me if I would drive the forklift like I always did? Some of the employees from this place saw me driving my highly street illegal Camaro. A lot of people are able to volunteer to drive that mutha. It's kind of comical; Not many could have driven my Camaro - just for fun as I did - at 250 MPH.
Now let's visit the fun part in two parts of course as expected. |
| This particular model of forklift is basically huge. It is shared among three companies that are a lot bigger than the Lokahi. When I worked at the PACOM and if I made the mistake of parking in General Fargo's spot then always the MP's came looking for me. Hmmm. I volunteer at this other place. I don't have a designated parking place that is given to me but folks, pay attention. I drive a blue truck. If you choose to block me by parking behind my truck then I can remove your car that is representing my problem. There are two ways that I can remove your car. Look again at the forklift. There's a nice way and there's a not so nice way. All of the volunteers at Lokahi might have a great chuckle. Believe me? |
| Here's the Merry Christmas part that I originally promised. The "fun" part is not delivering food to starving people. I do that all of the time when I can. We have (na keiki) children part of economically poor families that just miss Christmas or at least any Christmas gifts. I also have a bit a problem with the Christmas relationship with "malls" or whatever - use your own words.
My Christmas relationship of any kind is for our peoples' kids. Don't forget them. All of us only get to be "them" for a little while. These are my gifts for the children this Christmas. I don't have a lot of money but I have these two fifteen-speed cheap bicycles. Free of cost for the kids that will probably want them. Just in time. That's about all.
