Last wish

As a child it was always chaos. Drunk mother, who died in our motor home







by driving over a cliff in it. I suppose I am upset because its close







to the time she passed away that has me thinking so much. What I find







odd is my wife is sick, she is too young to be as sick as she is.







Medical sucks, docs only care about the money. "here take this pill and

Our Commander

We have not had it for very long. I saw it one day in passing and was surprised at how good it looked for its age. Fairly solid, has some rot by the wheel wells, and sides.
