A Happy Camper In Arkansas I am Not

Well Spring is just around the corner again and were I still in New Orleans I would be out taking long walks everyday, enjoying the hot sunshine and have a deep red copper colored bronze tan and have a reasonably good outlook on live. Unfortunately I’m obliged to be in Arkansas, I’ve lost all of my tan and no longer take long walks for my health anymore, hell I barely even go out of the house these days. My depression and outlook on life has returned to as bad as it was in the days just before leaving the Military. As for having the same problems sure I had the same problems, but my mental outlook and physical strength were far better equipped to deal with them, my healthcare was reasonably good and my chances for receiving even the remotest kind of reasonably good healthcare from the VA here in Arkansas is just below square one, call a spade a spade it sucks.

As for the recent targeted and unfair tax increase on tobacco products it isn’t going to stop me from smoking, in fact I’m smoking one even as I write this and it’s one of the things that helps get me through this God awful snails pace Stagnation and next day just a rehash of the previous day club, so non-smokers beware smoking is permitted in my home, I probably wouldn’t let you through the door anyway. So (we’re just doing it for your own good) idiot lawmakers and (we only have your best interests in mind) do gooders, try and push it into a no smoking in private homes or apartments then be sternly and strongly forewarned in advance, I’ll still do it anyway and in my home, Law or no Law.

As a rule most non-family members aren’t welcome in my home anyway and any and all solicitors, most especially church members, Mormon missionaries, census takers or political campaigners get turned away without even a by your leave. They put on big false friendly sheep smiles and happy faces when they come to your door, and when they leave its business as usual with grim wolf grins and snarling teeth.

So another few bloopers here and there most likely, so read it if you wish or do what you can always do with a bad program, (turn off of it or change the channel).
