Hey Belle did you have a boat hitch on the back of your Xtera? If you don't I highly recommend that you do. Most of the time when you're rearended, your car gets pushed and their car is totalled because you have welded steel reenforcement in the undercarriage of your vehicle. It costs about $100 and you can get it done at any UHaul place.

What's been on my mind lately is one of my close friends. We've been friends for very close to 30 years. Before he and his wife were married we all lived together. Good times. Well he has brain cancer... melinoma something or something melinoma. However it's called no one survives this. Upon his diagnosis they gave him 90 days - we're going on about 110 now. They tried radiation with chemo and not only did it not work but his brain tumors (4) grew and he got a new one(5). So now they're on plan B which as he put it is the Best plan... cause it's the only plan. They're using that cyber knife which is very concentrated radiation. The docs said they'd check his progress in 30 days which we both thought was rather interesting in that the cyber knife is the latest and greatest new technology but they can't check his tumors sooner than 30 days to see if they're growing or not!!!! Crazy shit man.

He posts a little video almost everyday on facebook. Nothing like a little brain cancer to clear the vision of all the petty shit in life. His messages are so simple, powerful, positive and exuding of pure love it is truly humbling. Humbling to the core. I think of my troubles and they are plenty but here's a guy fighting with every ounce of his being to just see tomorrow. Damn the hospital bills, damn the prognosis, damn the mortgage and every other issue... he just wants to see tomorrow.

He's a good man, former Marine veteran, husband and father. It's not fair man. It just isn't. It makes me so sad, angry, humbled and hopeful. I say hopeful because everyday he's alive I'm inspired in a number of ways. But one day there will be no tomorrow for my friend and that will be a sad sorry day for this planet.
