Personal, Pictures air force, Jim Reeves, Korea Leave a comment
He’s ready for war, it says on the back of the snapshot. Seems he had a sense of humor, after all.
(the fighting had been over for some time, and he was in administration. He flew a LSD. Large Steel Desk.)
In the Air Force, South Korea, circa 1961
He may be all of 23 years old here.

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 just felt like it, that’s why.
Happy Mother’s Day
all you mothers!
Oh, Daffy was yelling something about not doing it, but I think he’s just jealous that he’s not in center frame. Talk about a camera hog!

commentary, Personal Jim Reeves, Relic, service award, Tulare County Board of Supervisor's Leave a comment
I mean, I got a Relic… 15 years service at Tulare County. A nice introduction in front of the crowd. More brass there than I’ve ever seen at one gathering! The Sheriff himself, and a bunch of the rest of them. Not there for me, of course, many of them were receiving service recognition too, but still a big crowd. SRO in the Supervisor’s Chambers.

Clarence Arthur Reeves
Clarence Arthur Reeves, born January 29, 1887 in Souix Falls, South Dakota. Died June 24, 1966 in Woodlake, California.
I don’t really know a whole lot about Grandpa. I was 9 when he died, and so my memories of him are those of a child. I remember a quiet, distant man, who didn’t seem to relish the flurry of attention a small child brought to his lap. He didn’t push any of us, my cousins and I, away, but I don’t recall him going out of his way to interact with us. Perhaps he didn’t really know how to deal with children, even though he was one of six or more, and he fathered eight (or more) himself. Our family was his second marriage, which occurred on April 15, 1923. Some of my research has turned up a bit of a mystery, and I’m still working on finding out more, if I can.

So the weekend has just started, and already things are weird. Big storm early in the week, that blew down part of my fence.
I called the insurance company that holds my homeowner’s policy, and after my deductible, sharing with the adjoining property owner, and depreciation, they would gladly cut me a check for $10.54. I told them “never mind”.
After the rain, fog. Now fog is normal after rain here, but this fog was creepy. It was warm and muggy fog, something I can’t remember ever experiencing. It’s creeping me out big time.

Fair warning: This is a dangerous group. You never know what might result from them getting together. What one doesn’t think of, the others will. A primary operating premise is “they said it can’t be done. Let’s go do it!!”
Yes. Shameless promotion. What can I say? We’re Queer that way.
Check out the QueerNetworks… network!
