Buy American AGAIN

Buy American

Dick was reporting a story this morning about Donald Trump and how he purchased a vineyard in Virginia and when he went to visit he was horrified to find all the wine bottles were made in Mexico. This prompted us to look up or see if there was a list of American-made products for people to purchase, and I'm pleased to note there is a search engine website that caters to American-made products. I will place a link here to that search engine.

Lieut. Wetherbee

It's been seven years since the death of my friend and student, Lieut. Alex Wetherbee, who died in action in the Anbar province of Iraq. For all who read this to say a prayer for him and his surviving family. He was very close to most of us martial artists and his loss is felt every day.

Buck knives

Phil was discussing a story from his elk hunting days where one of the hunters used a Buck knife and was hitting the blade, or the back of the blade on a rock and the blade broke. True to their warranty, Buck knives, replace the blade at no cost to the hunter. I then recounted a story that I had heard when I was consulting in San Diego that Buck knives had to leave El Cajon because the cost of doing business in California is just so high. I had to look them up on the web but they moved to Idaho. Way to go California. Way to go Gov. Brown, as we lose 4.5 businesses a day leaving the state of California.

Sen. Joe

Sen. Joe and his son arrived today in their $1000 pickup truck, actually they arrived last night from Washington state and did so with a straight 22 Hour drive. He is always a welcome sight in our coffee club as he brings the political side of life and some of the explanations to bare.

Eating right

We have somewhat of a roundtable at our coffee club and the consensus around the table was that other people in our lives always knew what was best for us and what we. It would seem others know better than you about what you put in your body and that some people forget is your right to eat whatever you want. Simple fact! But in doing so research on the web...

Foods for Increasing Sperm Count and Sperm Health

If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, there’s at least a 30% chance it’s because of male fertility problems. That’s why it’s so important to eat the right foods.

Red peppers, carrots, oatmeal, dried apricots

The vitamin A in these foods help grow healthy sperm. “Deficiencies in vitamin A in men have been linked to lowered fertility due to sluggish sperm,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting. To increase sperm count and motility, eat dark green lettuce, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, and dairy fortified with vitamin A.

Asparagus, snow peas, cooked tomatoes, strawberries

I did come across this guys... this is what we should be eating!

Football

Everybody seemed to enjoy football and the 9/11 specials yesterday. Lots of old-time stories on Notre Dame and some of the antics that they have gone through.

Missing in action

Tommy Lee was not present at today's coffee club as he had to go to Hemet.

Coffee

Listening to the stories being recounted over the last 40 years of most of the coffee clubs lives, it would seem to me that coffee was a more social event than it is today. People would come and have coffee with selected individuals to discuss work or just hang out. I can remember my grandparents deliberately setting up coffee meetings with selected individuals, and having a social event. Most of us see coffee is a tool, that is my generation, to stay awake and produce the fruits of our labor. I learned to drink coffee in the Army but really started to enjoy coffee and college. Since then I use coffee more as a tool than a device for social events. Just my observation.

Dog catchers

Driving out to the coffee club, and not only did I see a beautiful moon, but there's one dog that likes to attack my car and the other dog, which I'm going to upload a picture of, always seems to be out and even though he's only got three legs he is the most aggressive one of the bunch (I think I'll wait to get my mail!). But again, there's nothing we can do because the dog catchers have to service their contract city's first, even though we pay our taxes for that type of support and we pay for our dog licenses, we have no representation or support from that department. Taxation without representation they think there was a whole war about that, wasn't there? Yet here today were told to suck it up and just live with. If you were to shoot those dogs you go to jail immediately, there seems to be no problem with the sheriff's department in contrast to the dog catching department. Go figure!




Oh, they can save a kitty but can't get our dogs that move in packs a bit at us! Check out the kitty story here... I'm impressed...

That's it for today, go do something good in the world!
