Sometime life hands you a present in disguise....

The little boy with the burr haircut is my grand son Ashton. The pretty gal next to him (they're on a helicopter no less) is his para at school, Mz. Deb. See, this is a little bit of a tale, and a good one at that. Mz. Deb loves Ash and he loves her. She is his guardian angel in many ways. She took a job at a local retail store this summer, probably because she needed the money or something like that. However, she asked for Ashton and Cheyenne every time I ran into her. She is special, and my grand sons are special. Both boys are autistic and they can use all the love they can get. My family is a big fan of Mz. Deb, and we pray for her all the time. She really is something special.

God is blessing me, more and more and more......

To say that God is blessing me and mine is a gross understatement. I am missing church today due to bad traffic and as well, I need some down time. I need a morning that I do not have to do anything. Many of my friends on facebook, and friends in real life, do not know how busy I actually am. I put in a great deal of sixteen to twenty hour days. I will not go into all I do, most of it is mundane and very boring, but it has to be done. Most of my personal friends are retired, and are busier now than they ever have been. If you stop and vegetate, you die. As true a statement as I have ever made. I hope this post finds you and yours happy and healthy.

The Late...Great....Steve Hardin

I am not really sure how to broach this subject. The man in the photo is my late friend/brother, Steve Hardin. He had many problems with his health. He had spurs growing on his spine, and some other problems that complicated treatment for the spurs. At 68 years of age, Steve would still work out four hours every morning. 

In the last year of his life, Steve had to stop working out, the pain was too great. 

I will not go into all the reasons for him taking his own life, they are varied, very private, and I would probably get them wrong anyway.

I found out about Steve committing suicide from another of my good friends, Micheal Smotherman. Both he and Hardin were and are musical geniuses. Steve's widow, Paula Hardin, is still one of my wife's and my closest friends. 

Sooooooooo..... I listen to his music, tear up every time, and hope and pray that he is happier where he is. I love and miss you Steve.

Another celebrity buddy....

ABOVE IS MICHEAL SMOTHERMAN....GETTING READY TO SHOOT ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE CLAY PIGEON. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO MIKE IS, GOOGLE HIM.

YES...I KNOW A LOT OF CELEBRITIES....

This is a photograph of two of my wife's and my closest friends. The pretty girl is Paula Hardin, the really buff and handsome dude is Steve Hardin.  I took the photo and used it on their latest album which I did the finish work on. They are really cool people, and I jealously guard their contact information. The same goes for all the other folks who I know that are famous. Then....I have been accused of being a celebrity myself...nope, I just like my privacy. Have to get off here now, I have church in the morning.

A BIT ABOUT ME.......

I have had several individuals ask me via emails, PMs on facebook, and on skype if my name is actually Tuklo Nashoba? The answer is yes. It is from the Choctaw/Chatah language, it translates to Two Wolf. I have also been asked if the above photo is actually me, the answer is yes. I am older than I look, and am bleached in appearance due to three bouts with cancer. The resulting complection was first orange, then pink, and now just pale. Recently I shaved off the whiskers so I can kiss my multitude of grandbabies. 

THE HOUSE OF CARDS IS FALLING DOWN....

Many times folks forget the extreme energy that is used by a volcano. I bring this up due to more and more volcanos going off all over the planet. We are also having more and more earthquakes all over the place. Oklahoma is now the earthquake capital of the United States. We have more than California or anywhere else. Those involved in the oil industry state emphatically that fracking is not the reason for the earth quakes. They know they are using junk science to defend their position. The law of inertial dynamics proves their point is moot, they are causing the earth quakes, and it is only going to get worse.
