I think I have become a recluse

I am not sure how it happened. I used to run the roads every time I had a chance. Now, maybe the cost of gas, maybe my love for the computer, but I have no desire to leave my little nest. Here, I can talk to friends and family, share stories and pictures, play games all in the comfort of my living room, hot cup of coffee in hand. I love my little nest in the woods. Daily when I am not working I go for a walk in the woods, just to see what I can see. Then back to my little nest. I work four days in a row from can't see to can't see, so no walk on those days. I leave at a little after four in the morning and don't return till after seven at night. When I work, that is all I do, work and sleep for four days. My days off I should go visit someone, or do something fun, but I don't. I just stay home and watch the days go by. Hmmmm.........Maybe I will go to the river today. That would be a good idea. I will give that some more thought. LOL...

unit lockdown consequences

Unit lockdown consequences

The state of Texas went on lockdown. A prisoner from death row called a senator with a cell phone smuggled in by a dirty officer. Not good. He told the senator the names and addresses of his daughter and that if he did not get a visit with his mom he had gang members on the out side that would harm them. The senator talked to him several times. Each time the guards would search his cell and look for the cell phone, and could find nothing. The senator arranged for his mother to be flown to Texas and as soon as she arrived in Texas she called on her cell phone. Officers at Polunsky where death row is located went to his cell and sure enough, he was on the phone with his mom. They got the phone, then arrested his mom. They ordered a state wide lock down and searched all the units. Hundreds of cell phones were found. We found three at my unit. Anyway, now the offenders are up and in the dayrooms again rather then confined to their cells. They are in a nasty mood. The black eyes are everywhere. Two fights on the afternoon of my Friday. They are being very aggressive. We are now pat searched and run a metal detector over us, our shoes off, and everything out of our pockets. I hope it helps. Our cars are searched every morning upon entering the unit. It is all a pain in the you know where, but if it helps keep the officers honest, I say go for it. It takes about half an hour wait to get into the unit as they search our cars. Not fun. Also, there has been a lot less smoking so maybe it is making the dirty bosses notice. That makes the Offenders uneasy too.

Ok, now what

Obama won, and I can deal with that. I believe God appoints the kings. Tomorrow I go back to work where most of my friends are black, and they will be celebrating his win. They say he has promised them each 2000 dollars before Christmas. I don't know where he is going to get the money, but it should be interesting. I am proud of my country for voting for a black. I am glad for the blacks that they have a person in the top seat of the country. It will be good for them to feel more a part of this country that has put them down so badly. For them I am happy. For me, I will just trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not to my own understanding. I am still an American and I am still proud of my country. I am an American born and bred and no matter what, I will pray for my leaders. I am not required to like them, only pray for them. So to all you McCain supporters, I am sorry your guy lost. To all you Obama supporters, I am happy for you. And to my God, thank you for the peace I feel. I love you Lord with all my heart and I know you have a plan. I will trust in your plan and not be afraid. Thank you Lord for my peace that passeth all understanding.
