First of all I would like to say that my other brother Stanley came throufh for me yesterday.He always does and the news are good.My mailman left his job and we have all new postmen.This guy is so nice.First of all,he is Vietnamese who became a citizen and he does the job real well.He told me that his last day will be this Friday-he is going back to school! I wished him well.SO that means on Saturday-my late fathers 92nd birthday--we will be getting a new one.I dont want Brad to see this energy bill and if he does he will flip.I am in the process of paying it off and will send them some of the reminder when I get that rebate check.I have to really save my money now because I am going to go on a brief vacation and when I do--everything has got to be paid off.Brad went golfing yesterday after work and the house was peaceful.I woke up and paid the phone bill and such.We will pay the rest of the bills next week.No one knows of this.I miss Frank so much and today I am crying again.He just loved the month of May and he also loved birds.Frank did not like crows and told me once when you see a crow on top of a wire or tree=bad news will come.Well,he is right! I believe in dreams and omens,even thou I am a Catholic but I am not practicing.One of my favorite presidents believed in omens and his name was Abraham Lincoln.I havent read any of the books about Lincoln..but all I can say is this:Mary Lincoln suffered in her day and if she had the proper medication she would not have been in that hospital.People had all of this old wives tales back then.Soon it will be summer in seattle and I am planning to go to some of the festivals.We sang to Folk-Life and I stayed for awhile..but some of the music I did not like.I do not like the hip-hop songs and I do not like rap.I just dont and hope that this music craze here will cease.Seattle is having trouble with these hip hop  clubs and there has been violence.People are getting shot and it is because of some of the lyrics of this music.The riot up by the college should not have been.Just who are these people? And why are these young people out today hate the police? What is the matter? Do not knock the Seattle Police to me.We have had a few bad apples..but as a favor show them respect and leave them alone.
