Spaceroy got a book for Christmas. It's the greatest book on constellations that teaches you how to find them all.
This is our story.
It was a hot summer evening on a Saturday. The kind of hot where you can't sleep and there is no breeze to be found. Spaceroy & I decided to take her constellation book, 2 folding chairs and a radio up to rollercoaster hill. (it's several degrees cooler up there) We were going to find Betelgeuse and Orion's belt. We had already learned how to find the dippers and north star on previous visits. We picked up some Pepsi's and headed out.
We gingerly placed our chairs on the uneven surface and tuned in a radio broadcast of a "cowboy soap opera". As we sit and listen and search the stars.....we start to hear what sounds like a bus load of teenage cheerleaders screaming!!.....We turn down the radio a bit
and sure enough, screaming teens.....all around us, circling us.
No! Wait......maybe it's laughing hyennas......No...maybe......coyoties!?!
Well.....I turn to Spaceroy to say "maybe we should......."
Bam! She's in the drivers seat, car started, placing the transmission in reverse....."leave" She was backing the car as I was throwing folding chairs and a radio & two cans of Pepsi into the back seat. She was going to LEAVE ME OUT THERE WITH THE COYOTIES!
Well......petrified Spaceroy & I high tail it out of there! We come flying down the hill, head back to town, shaking like little babies. Lights flashing behind us......yep....we're pulled over. 1:00 a.m. in the morning.
"oh thank God, there are these coyoties after us."
"may I have your drivers license ma'am?"
"Yes sir!" handing over the license. "We were just being chased off by coyoties!"
Officer goes back to his car, runs his little doohicky thingy and returns to Spaceroy and says "your license has been suspended"
"SUSPENDED!?!" "How can I not know this? Why?"
Well....they are not at liberty to tell you why, just that it is.
Flashing his flash light at me, he asks "Do you have a drivers license?"
"Well yes I do!" I answered lawfully. "on you?" "well....no, not on me"
(I don't know why I didn't think to bring my purse out to rollercoaster hill) "But I do have one, it just isn't here." He goes back to his doohicky thingy and calls in my name and address. "Yea, your OK to drive your sister home." Now remember, we are still shook up over our little confrontation with coyoties/hyenas/cheerleaders. I exit the vehicle...(spaceroy had parked to close to the ditch) I stumble as if I am drunk..stumble stumble....feeling shame (although I was stone cold sober) for my "past" drinking indiscretions, I finally end up in the driver's seat and take my sister home. Two old ladies out looking for Orion's belt. How unlucky is that!? What, you can't even go out to look at the stars without someone pickin' on you? What the french toast!
In all fairness to the State trooper, it was 1 a.m. on a Saturday/Sun
he witnesses headlights coming down rollercoaster hill (usually kids or drunks I suppose) so we are either kids drinking on the hill, or teens making out, or....whatever. So he wasn't exactly expecting to see two old ladies screaming about some coyoties, driving under suspension, and stumbling out of the car. What a sight for him I am sure!
The next day, Spaceroy learned that her drivers license was suspended
because her eye doctor had checked a box on a form during her last visit, stating that if she didn't come back in a year for another check up they would suspend her driving privileges. Did you know an eye doctor could do that? We didn't. Now you do.
We haven't been back to roller coaster hill since. There are coyoties out there!
It took us a few weeks to calm down, and then we realized we never got to hear the end of our Cowboy Soap Opera! We'll never know if the Sheriff ever caught slick Jim.

My Quest for human nature and kindness....
Human nature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Human nature (disambiguation).
Human nature is the concept that there is a set of inherent distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, that humans tend to have.
The question of what causes these distinguishing characteristics of humanity and how fixed human nature is (e.g. nature versus nurture) has important implications in ethics, politics and theology because they are seen as providing standards or norms that humans can use when judging how best to live. The complex implications of such discussion are often themes which are dealt with in [[art].
The branches of science associated with the study of human nature include sociology, sociobiology and psychology, particularly evolutionary psychology and developmental psychology.
Ok...I think I can check this one off, cause I R Human.
Kindness.......Grrrrrr. This is a tough one. I think I am pretty kind....but thinking you are kind and being kind are two different things. Kindness is judged from the outsider not the giver. OMG! I am not kind! How devastating! I shall pray each night for more kindness. I shall bite my tongue. Ouch. It's a humbling experience finding out someone thinks of you as un-kind. It hurts. Makes me want to get defensive. But I hear my grandma's voice "you don't hate people. period. You may hate what they do, but you don't hate people." Thanks grandma! You are right.
If anyone has some helpful hints on how I might be more kind, please pass them on to me. I need some help!

Her Royal Highness is Spot On!
A citizen going by the name of Her Royal Highness posted a comment on Tim Hackleman's blog site and she is SPOT ON! I hope they take her serious because I think she's on to something. I did the North Ward shuffle for 6 years and I know exactly what she means. Excellent idea! Snaps to Her Royal Highness!
Just the facts maam.
Do your own fact checking eh?! What kind of fact checking do ya gotta do to see a new school, see new city vehicles, see new cop cars, see new fire engine, see the pond, see the path...what kind of facts need to be checked I ask you? They are all factual expenditures in the last 3 years!!!! And I GUARANTEE you, they will ALL peter out at the same time (momma always said, don't change all your lightbulbs on the same day.) Way way way back in 1980, this town had 3 hamburger/icecream/family resteraunts, & a pizza hut. As teens, we would hang out at the DQ, or A & W or Tastee Freeze, or pizza hut. Today 2/25/10, we have none of those things. NONE. Now I ask you, do you feel the growing of the interchange has helped or hindered our little town? And I ask you, where are your kids hanging out? I watched my teen son get chased away from every slab of concrete that they wanted to skate on. I watched them get chased away from our Main street "park benches" because they were skateboarders. Then they told the kids they couldn't ride their bikes on the sidewalks anymore. What pray tell, were these kids supposed to do? Where were they supposed to go? I know these are un-important things to the majority of this town. They want to grow grow grow! Now...let me set the record straight. I too, like growth. I couldn't wait for Mc Donalds to come to town, it saved me from driving to Sterling once a week for my Big Mac attack. I also thought Walmart would be good. Then BAM! We get what we asked for. The first year of Walmart was OK. Very disappointing compared to Sterling's Walmart. We were laughing at Christmas time because my sister & I would hit the Holy trinity (Walmart/Kmart/Target) in Cheyenne for Christmas shopping, and EVERY time we ended up back at good old ALCO for what we needed. What a hoot. ALCO was now my neighborhood store. It's loss is STILL felt (tears rolling for ALCO) Now you have all the interchange workers
grabbing their grocery's, gas & fast food from out there, and they don't even need to come down town anymore. It is destined to widen the path of discontent between our north & south side. You see, the North is our poor. The kind of poor that doesn't have a car to get to the interchange, the kind of poor that doesn't have a mom with a mini van running them to the pool and then out to the interchange for icecream. The wealthy in this town have become numb to what is really happening. From the day they planted that "community" (slang for rich south side folks)center on the south side w/annual FEES. I can't take it anymore. Their ideas of bringing a community together makes me cringe. I wish these were NOT the facts, but indeed they are. Oh, and as facts go, I understand there are programs for the poor to be included in the "community center" events. IF... they swallow their pride and ask.
(I would rather die)

Very interesting......
Some blogger (Lifer) is posting on Mr Hackleman's blog site, and accusing him of falling for my mindset! In my magician voice "LOOK DEEP INTO MY EYES..." Just like they are liking my dad to that anon citizen letter. These small town gossips just make things up! Poor guy, I simply asked some questions to which he replied, end of story. What a bummer that they are linking me to Rowland also, I have been posting some comments after his articles, and now they are linking us. Obviously they haven't READ what I posted, I am actually surprised that he puts them up. They are kinda snotty when I re-read them but factual. My humor is failing with most.
I am not going to post on Rowland's forum anymore (freedom of speach squelched) I never, ever, ever wanted this crap to overflow onto Mr. Hackleman. He didn't even really answer my vision question, and I didn't want this path to sapps, so I didn't understand why they would put our names in the same sentence and punish him for how I feel. It was unfair to him. He doesn't deserve this.
Once again, fatties to the left.

My question to Mr. Tim Hackleman
The following is a copy of my question to Mr. Tim Hackleman and his reply.
Thank you Mr. Hackleman for your prompt reply! I appreciate your time.
Kelroy said...
As an employee of Cabela's do you think you can juggle your loyalty to them as opposed to what is good for our city. Will you always vote for shiny & new no matter the cost? Over the last few years our town has had to bare the burden of a new school, new library roof, new fire engine, new city vehicles, new snow plow, new police vehicles, new park, new hiking path. Don't get me wrong, they are all very pretty, but alas we have to pay for these things. What would you like to see done in the future? Thank you for your time.

Kelroy,
Thanks for visiting and thanks for the questions! I can certainly balance my commitments to my employer and to the citizens of Sidney. Two quick comments about that subject. First, during the leadership transition in the company over the past couple of years, as well as, personal conversations with some members of the executive team, I feel that my company is truly committed to the success of Sidney. Second, and what is truly the reason for my answer to your question, I'm a soldier in the trenches. My position does not involve me in any decisions regarding Cabela's contributions to the community. Therefore, I am free to question, and make comments or suggestions either way and not influence or be influenced.
I'll try to answer your other questions rapid fire style. :)
New School: Absolutely needed. The old one was not even ADA approved. New Library roof: Needed. It was leaking and had already been resurfaced the maximum number of times allowed by code.
Not knowing all the circumstances for these items, I suspect... New Fire Engine: Not needed, especially that size. New City Vehicles: Not needed. New Snow Plow: Needed. Many in the community have complained for years about snow removal. New Police vehicles: Not needed. New Hiking Path: Absolutely needed. Anything that can physically unify the community is a positive thing. The execution of the path is completely unacceptable.
What would I like to see done in the future? I would like to be part of a City Council that focuses on making Sidney the best place it can be for the citizens who live and work here. Sometimes that requires some difficult decisions and sacrifices. This comes through good leadership, which I feel I can bring to the Council. I can promise you this: I will not bring a personal agenda.
Thank you for your consideration!
Tim
For the record, I did not really think he had a personal agenda, I was more interested in what he can do for Sidney in the future. I just want to know what is next. What can he offer the council that the current council is "not" doing? I don't feel confident that he can rein in our expenditures (although barring our city streets, I can not fathom what else they want) An outsider might look upon our little town as needing a face lift, but a lot of us really like our small town life and we get a little butt hurt when newbies come in and tell us it is not good enough. It is hard for me to believe an implant would have Sidney's best interest at heart. But that is only my opinion. He never really stated his vision for the future. It was more of an Obama answer. Smooth, silky & vague. Mr. Hackleman is invited to share his vision here
Thank you Mr. Hackleman for your prompt reply! I appreciate your time.

My thank you to Marv
Once again I have tried to reply to a Sidney Sun article by Klark Byrd, and once again they refuse to print it, so here it is in regards to the comment about Marv's shady dealings.
Whoa! I owe Marv a big THANK YOU! That is the kind of thinking I like!
I want a council that says NO to inane, overbidding, greedy contractors.
Bravo Marv and thank you for saving our town that kind of money.
Bravo!
I hope you get some input on our street repairs. Maybe now that they got
their silly path to Sapps we can get down to real city business.

2/9/10 City of Sidney Council Meeting.
Wow! I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat! OMG! It was so exciting! I can't believe all the sordid details going on behind our backs! I wonder what is going on! Innuendo's seem to point to "something" going on...These councilmen are out of control... it is obvious that they are trying to conceal information regarding some really heavy secrets. I wonder what they are?
I have heard that its about the Mayors cow. See, he has a really big cow out in his field. Someone has been sneaking out at night and tipping his cow over. Well now, he now needs a way to pick up his cow, and he knows that Marv has a crane. So he says "hey Marv, how you doing"
Marv says "I am fine, how are you" and the Mayor says, "not so well Marv, someone keeps tipping ole Betsy over & I can't pick her up anymore, I'm getting old. Could you bring your crane out?" "Sure" says Marv, "but I'm a gonna need me some gas money and a 6 inch pc of angle iron first" "Angle iron hu?" "Ole Bob Van Vleet has some angle iron, lets ask him" says the mayor.
"sure Mr. Mayor, lets go ask him" well....the three of them get together and decide to vote no on the sidewalk to nowhere and then they will bill the city for some phony jobs, and then they can afford to go get ole Betsy back on her feet (only to be tipped over every Saturday night)
What they didn't count on was Lois Lane hiding in the bushes with her cell phone.....Just waiting to get a picture of these three "Mighty City ruin-ers" Thank God she broke the story on this one. Well to make a long story short, she plastered the picture on the front page of every news paper and they were ruined. The look on their 3 faces caught in the act with that cow was priceless..priceless! I think it might be on youtube. They probably already removed it (PETA wants to protect the cows identity)
