Diamonds and Stones

Have not posted in a while, working on medications and some new Stroke Therapy.

.

Well, we have had a period of good days and then some not so good, I sing this John Denver song to myself as it seems to fit me right now,

 

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

 

Now the face that I see in my mirror
More and more is a stranger to me
More and more, I can see there's a danger
In becoming what I never thought I'd be

 

 I do look in the mirror and see someone staring back at me,someone bald, a chisled hard lined face, sunken eyes and I think, how did I get here, then I have to remind myself of so many friends and family who did not make it to this age or get to grow old.

.  The above photo is me laid up for 8 weeks during the summer, I was trying to make an arrest and the man I wanted to arrest felt he should sucker punch me and knock me down then he jumped on my leg with both feet and broke it just above the ankle,  He did go to Jail, for a long, long time!!!!!  BUT in the winter it is just one of many bones I broke over the years that ache!!

. In 1974 I was able to obtain a Pilots License, I used to fly with Sgt McGraw around to different villages .

June of 1981 I tried to catch this "Sea Trout", before I could get it into the boat something ate the end of it off, I have several Citations from Virginia for Sea Trout over 16 Pounds.
