Augie25's blog: "numbnuts"

Thank god today is over with. I ended up attending a funeral to bury my uncle Dale and it wasn't something I was looking forward to at all. I ended upbeing one of the six who had to walk the casket to the hearse and follow it to the burial site. The only cool thing about that was he got a 21 gun salute and the playing of Taps from the Marines who were waiting for th casket to show up. R.I.P. Uncle Dale, you will be missed a bunch. 

Looks like things are gonna be ok with my brother.

Tday was a long day as it was Fish Day in Port Washington. For those that don't know Fish Day is the worlds largest outdoor fish fry. It starts out with a parade and then there is the arts and crafts and a vintage car show all kinds of music stages with live acts. This Year we had Molly Hatchet play the main stage and theres also rides for the children and to close out Fish Day the city of Port has a fireworks display down by the harbor. 

There has been nothing much on tv lately cause they keep going on about Michael Jackson dying so I decided to sit and write a quick blog on my feelings on his passing, so here goes. Although I never knew him personaly or seen any of his shows I felt I came to know him through his music. I used to sit and play his Thriller song over and over again during Halloween while I sat on the front porch to hand out the goodies to the trick or treaters that came to the house (it was my mom's idea). As I said in other blogs, hearing of Michael Jackson's Passing is like loosing a friend even though we never knew eachother on a personal level. He was part of my generation and I grew up listening to his music. It was because of him that I picked up a guitar for the first time and started to learn how to play, He inspired me to do so. So I now say to you my friend, good bye and R.I.P. You were an inspiration to so many.
