Good news, at the end of next month I will be celebrating the end of my long time relationship with my current cell phone provider, which is Verizon. I have been waiting for this time to come so that I can find a better deal, with more minutes and a better, new updated cell phone, for a better price. There are so many providers to choose from, so I’m glad that I can use the Internet to find the right one for me with less legwork involved. There are deals out there to be made, and I’m going to make every attempt to find one that is right for me.

There are some pretty cool new phones out there that I can’t wait to look at and choose from these days. My old phone has seen better days.

I have had the opportunity to spend a good portion of my life on the many waters around this world and have seen too many close calls and accidents that happened, and the majority of the operators could plainly been seen drinking some type of alcoholic beverage, beer being the number one choice. Drinking and then driving anything can and have causes serious incidents and accidents and the number of people doing this is growing larger every year it seems.It wouldn’t surprise me to see in that in the not to near future that some type of permit may be necessary to operate all of the different types of boats.

As much as I have some strong opinions about Big Brother and all, I am starting to think that licensing for this serious issue might be a good idea. Of course I’d have to see all that it could require and all that. Something to check into online sometime in the near future.

I remember as a kid we would make up the most wonderful baskets, fill them with flowers and put them on the door steps of our neighbor’s, ring the door bell and run away before they answered. I wonder what ever happened to that tradition that celebrated May Day each year.

I actually got my taxes done and mailed off before the April 15th dead line this year. It was nice to go to the post office and not have to stand in line with dozens of other people that have waited it out as long as they possibly could before mailing off all of the paperwork that is required of us each and every year.

I’m kinda leery of going to work this afternoon. I’ve been warned that April 1st is a big day around the place. It seems that a lot of pranksters look forward to this day all year long. I used to like to play pranks on people as a kid in school but then I basically out grew the need, I’ll have to work on that and soon!
