I want you to know this...
When I look at my 7 brothers and sisters I am VERY appreciative and VERY impressed. Not a LITTLE appreciative or a LITTLE impressed -- VERY MUCH SO!
Clear as a bell each one is quite different from the other. Line them up in a room and most folks wouldn't guess they are related. Nevertheless, each one -- EVERY ONE -- is a wonderful mixture with a heart and soul of GOLD. That gold isn't necessarily visible on the day-to-day surface, but it is definitely there and shines most brightly in time of need. Pretty neat!
I know the gold did not get there by accident. God put it there and you -- MOM AND DAD -- kept it there and polished it with YOUR NEVER-ENDING LOVE, WORK, DEDICATION, SACRIFICE, EXAMPLE AND PRAYERS -- LOTS OF PRAYERS!
Thank you, MOM AND DAD. Your lifetime of work does not go unnoticed. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
My love and prayers always,
Fred

TRAFFIC CAMERAS
The following is a response I wrote to an article in the New Orleans Times Picayune about traffic cameras in the city:
I drive for work throughout the city and southern region almost 40 hours per week. I am no great fan of these traffic cameras. I do know this: If you REALLY want to save lives put those cameras on the interstates and highways every few miles. Catch and penalize -- and perhaps take away the driver's license of -- speeders and tailgaters. I fear for my life every day on the road and I thank my guardian angel for protecting me yet again when I make it home safely. It saddens me when I pass the hundreds of roadside memorials along my route. Many, many, many people flirt with death for themselves and innocent others when they speed and tailgate. I guess they assume nothing could possibly go wrong. They are WRONG! Everything can and does go wrong in a split instant and they leave no room -- no margin -- for error. I say penalize them all. Take them all off the road. Save lives. Not pretend, but REALLY!
