Blog: Next Destination

Three moves in two years. I’m way too friendly with the guy at Budget Truck Rental. I’m sitting here feeling sorry for myself, and then I think of my Mom. She moved 38 times in her life, Dad was in the military.

Picture this: The U.S.S. Washington, 1952. Almost all passengers were women and children. I was on that ship with my three siblings. We were all under the age of seven. Mom recalls that her cabin mate opened the door and gave one very unhappy look to all five of us before she let us in. We got seasick during the trip, but for the most part we behaved ourselves. Mom said she and her cabin mate were actually good friends by the end of the trip.

And that’s how it goes. Friendships are made under trying circumstances. Moving can lead to better opportunities. I follow Mom’s lead and make peace with change. I’m inspired by her and all the military families who know this routine too well. I’m prepared as I ready myself to move to my next destination.

Joke: Politically Pleasing Jokes

It was election time and a politician decided to go out to the local reservation and try to get the Native American vote. They were all assembled in the Council Hall to hear the speech. The politician had worked up to his finale, and the crowd was getting more and more excited. "I promise better education opportunities for Native Americans!"

The crowd went wild, shouting "Hoya! Hoya!"

The politician was a bit puzzled by the native word, but was encouraged by their enthusiasm. "I promise gambling reforms to allow a Casino on the Reservation!"

"Hoya! Hoya!" cried the crowd, stomping their feet.

"I promise more social reforms and job opportunities for Native Americans!"

The crowd reached a frenzied pitch shouting, "Hoya! Hoya! Hoya!"

After the speech, the Politician was touring the reservation, and saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch, and knew a bit about cattle, he asked the Chief if he could get closer to take a look at the cattle.

"Sure," the Chief said, "but be careful not to step in the hoya."
