The bigots are losing. They were fighting equality and love, and didn’t understand that they didn’t have a chance. Now it’s a mopping up operation, as we get things settled out, and sweep the remaining haters to the sidelines of history.

How I Spent My Monday

Personal dish install, Jim Reeves, Ted Freitas 3 Comments
Monday, July 5, 2010. My 16th anniversary with the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. I’m just wrapping up a vacation, so I didn’t have to spend it at work! I ended up spending most of it on the top of a hot, dusty hilltop in Kings County, assisting Ted install a wireless link.
I’m in full Okie mode here – funky sun hat, khaki green Tshirt from the Sheriff’s Department, and peeling paint on my old Ford pickup truck. All I need now is a can of beer! Pepsi had to do, however, since I don’t drink. And I’m not really an Okie, but it’s my family heritage. Gotta keep up the traditions as best I can, you know.
Here are some more pictures of the day.

I wonder if this will stir up anything? You know how those Christians get when you suggest something they believe isn’t really what happened.

Not them, but close
I’ve been hoping to meet a couple of cute missionary boys for a while, when I would be both awake and have the time to talk with them for a bit. Usually they wake me up, or catch me as I’m heading out the door, and I can’t chat with them. Tonight the stars were aligned just right!
I was tinkering around with my iPhone, playing with the GPS/mapping software, and was standing at the curb at the corner of my property. The map program that comes with the iPhone was showing me standing right at the edge of my property line, exactly where I was actually standing! I had always assumed there would be a noticeable error when zoomed down to street level, but danged if it didn’t have me exactly where I was! I walked back to the back of the property, and the same thing occurred. The map’s little blue dot was smack on the property line. I’m impressed. I walked back out to the street to check against the satellite map, and was tinkering with it when two white-shirted Mormon boys rode up on their bikes.
