Ok people, I have to weigh in with my opinion...repeat, MY OPINION. You may disagree, that is your right, but take my POINTS with you.
In regard to Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. Let's put aside the emotion and discuss a couple of facts, now that what has happened has happened.
First...IF Zimmerman's judgment of Trayvon WAS racially motivated, then lets agree that THIS is an isolated incident between Zimmerman and Martin. I bring this up because Zimmerman is not "the man" or the leader of the world. He is one person involved in one incident.
Second...lets all agree that as high a profile case as this is with a national microscope, there is no bias against Trayvon for being black. I think the plight is being fairly and accurately portrayed in his favor by most ALL media outlets, and his being black is not hindering any coverage or fairness. If anything, his being black is helping his cause... for fear of any agency dropping the ball will not be tolerated by those looking in from the outside.
Now that being said, what is done is done and we cant unring that bell. But what can people do...what to do to be heard or make a difference? Rallying and screaming black vs white issues is not going to work, and is just going to create a societal divide. The lack of arrest in the case has nothing to do with the races of those involved, it has to do with the fact that a "poorly worded" law, or a liberal law, is currently PROTECTING Zimmerman. This is not the opinion of the Sanford police chief who was the first scapegoat. The police detectives initially asked the state attorney TO PRESS charges because they felt the initial story did not wash. The state attorney's office opted to not prosecute. The FDLE was called in...the DOJ was called in and an audience with a grand jury has been put on the calendar to review this. You just cannot GET anymore judicially scrutinized than this, so what higher court or power is supposed to respond to the rallies and petitions to arrest Zimmerman?
Given that, I ask...WHAT ARE THE RALLIES SUPPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH then? Repeating, this is not a black and white issue, it is a legal issue. It would not matter the race or color of the participants. A less open mind will argue with me at this point to say that Trayvon was shot for being black. That is the opinion of the onlooker, only Zimmerman knows for sure...but as I said, Zimmerman is just one man. Only HE knows the motives of his heart, and his motives are not those of every man, or policy of law enforcement, or all of society. If you want to call him a racist, so be it, even if it is or isnt true, but rallying in Trayvon's name, calling for an arrest and saying it is because Trayvon is black is just not productive, or accurate. IF George shot Trayvon "for being black", a rally is not going to change or open the minds of those who currently do equate being black as being a suspect.
Stop equating Sanford with Selma. Sanford is NOTHING like Selma was, and if you think it was, you are watering down the importance of what happened in Selma.
Wearing a hoodie will change nothing. Stop it. Anyone wearing a hoodie in support of Trayvon does not have a clear concept of the issue and should develop a clearer concept. That being said, the hoodie is a non issue. Somehow, Trayvon was wrongly cast as a suspect. PEOPLE, If you want to not get shot, or not appear to be a suspect, DON'T LOOK LIKE ONE. This covers all races. Recently a national blogger wrote that white people were lucky that they will NEVER appear to be suspects. That is just crap. I am white, and I have been pulled over on suspicion numerous times, had my car searched MORE than a handful of times, been detained by the police on suspicion several times and actually been handcuffed during detention twice. HERE is a link to the blog, my reply appears directly under the article:
http://globalgrind.com/news/michael-skolnik-trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-race-sanford-florida-photos-pictures
SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC BUT RELEVANT...If I develop a fashion affectation and all of a sudden start going out in public wearing western hats, chaps and boots, I should not get offended if people THINK I like country music or horses. If you have the appearance of a swarthy person, a violent person, a thug, a tough guy, a psycho, a homeless person, a convict, an extremist of any type, etc... and you have affected this look, you should expect to be pre-judged. That is not just human nature, it is nature. Watch a dog interact with other people or other dogs. When they sense no threat, they accept, and when they sense danger or bad vibes or fear they attack. People are largely the same way. If you don't want to be treated as a suspect, don't look like one. That being said, appearances are not everything. No one knows what is in a man's heart, and the guy in the suit could do you a lot more harm than the biker or homeless guy. If your doorbell rings at 3AM who are you more scared of...a guy in a suit, a biker or a guy with dreads, pants low with underwear showing and a grill of gold? If you gave this any thought, you are judgmental too...fear everyone.
BACK ON POINT... If you are marching, or assembling to bring attention to an issue that needs attention, more power to you. If you are marching or assembling to say that Trayvon is not getting a fair shake, I cant agree with you because you have every court in the nation on the case, what more can you ask for?
If your answer is an arrest...then I ask you to revisit the point that no agency is willing to arrest Zimmerman because no one is YET willing to prosecute him, because simply, he is protected by the law BASED on the information and evidence the powers that be have at this time. Period. Hear say is not admitted, nor is opinion or feeling. Facts are what successful prosecutions are made from. Having said that, what is going to happen if the court decides to charge Zimmerman based on any kernel they can come up with, or just as a tool to pacify a crying public. An arrest is not a conviction, so after a court date, Zimmerman will be released again, protected by the law. How will the public handle it when and if Zimmerman is arrested, and cleared and released? Will there still be a bounty on him, figuratively or literally?
IS THAT ZIMMERMAN'S FAULT? No. It is the fault of the law, SO, now that the wheels of justice are turning, PEOPLE I ASK YOU, what makes more sense? Rallying about the lack of arrest, or about Trayvon being wrongly accused for being black by one man...or to use the power of numbers to assemble and get an audience to hear the real issue, the re visitation or adaptation of the law? You wont do that wearing a hoodie, eating skittles and walking 40 miles. Work the system. If the system is broke or not working for you, change IT. Currently the system is in Zimmerman's favor...and it has nothing to do with race. If this troubles you, consult a lawmaker. Get a petition on for that. March for that... leave the hoodie at home.
I don't want to appear uncaring about Martin's death. He did not need to die. My point of this blog is just to rationally point out the real issue without emotion, as my inbox fills with invites to marches, and as I pass the marchers on the street, and hear Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sharpton 20 miles from my house talking race, and hear my elected officials on Capitol Hill extol how they are tired of burying black boys...in the name of this incident, and lack of arrest.
ADDENDUM 4/9/12: The Sanford PD was closed for 5 hours today while protesters engaged in the promised civil disobedience that would occur if Zimmerman were not arrested. I offer this...if Zimmerman is protected by law, where is the justice if he is arrested...and if he is arrested and found not guilty under the same protection, it is not his being white or Trayvon being black that failed, it was the law. Rather than being civilly disobedient, again I offer, why not work within the system to change it? When it comes to brass tacks, the system is your issue, not race. I also offer this scenario...if Zimmerman were black, and arrested, would there be marches in protest of his arrest because he should have been protected by the law??
Having an open mind is easy when the benefit is falling in your favor. To be truly just and open minded means accepting things you don't necessarily agree with, in the name of liberty for all.

I Purchased One Of My Bucket List Cars
Ah yes, bucket list cars. The cars on your mind that you have always wanted to own or experience before you die. Some people gravitate toward the exotic or out of reach variety, while others yearn for vehicles within their grasp financially, but maybe not that readily available, or easy to find. Other times one does not act due to a lack of funds or storage. I am a life long car guy, but my tastes are not that exotic. I like the experience of owning the cool, driveable car that has a unique reason for coolness. My latest acquisition fits this bill entirely. If you understand why I got it, I need explain no more. This post is for the ones looking at me and saying "why in the HELL did you buy THAT?"
I have always been a station wagon lover. This may have been seeded by the 3 station wagons we owned when I was a child (white 68 Chevy, green 70 Chevy Kingswood and green 72 Kingswood). It may be seeded by growing up in the 70s, with those great V-8 powered Vista Cruisers, Country Squires and other iconic wagons of the day. They were all great cars that served a great and practical purpose of hauling people and cargo. Some did it way more stylishly than others. I loved the Fords, but always loved the GM wagons styling a little more...especially the prestige Olds and Buicks. I have owned my share of sedans from this era, but never found a station wagon. The only proper wagon I have owned for any length of time was an 88 Ford Taurus. It was leased to the company I worked for and I bought out their lease for less than wholesale. I had that car and a z-28 Camaro at the same time. I put them both up for sale and the wagon sold instantly. I have wanted another wagon since that day.
The stopped making proper station wagons because of the rise in popularity of the minivan, and SUV. There were a few hold outs, and some new contenders, but nothing compared to the glory of the full size 1970s luxury wagon. Nothing, that is, except for one lone standout in the crowd, Buick's Roadmaster. (Check out this link: http://www.stationwagon.com/history.html
Roadmaster wagons have caught my eye as long as they have been around, BUT what you need to know about them most importantly is this...they stopped making them in 1996, and the BEST ones ever made were made in 1994, 1995 and 1996. What makes them so great is the engineering is very modern, but the styling and basic design are decidedly retro 70s. ALL the benefits of modern technology on an old school car. To help the matter, they chose to power it with the 5.7 LT-1 V-8 engines that were being used in the Corvettes, with the addition of steel heads instead of aluminum heads. They produce 260+ hp, 330 lbft of torque!! The great part is, with the engineering, they still get 17mpg in the city and 20 or more on the highway!! You can open the rear tailgate down like a truck, or swing it open like a regular car door. The car seats 8 adults with the rear seat up, fold all the seats down and you have almost 93 cubic feet of storage, over 4 feet wide, meaning you can lay sheets of plywood or sheetrock down flat on the weekend trips to Lowes, without damaging the car. It has a performance suspension system, which can be accentuated with the Gran Touring option that self levels the car. All seats are leather, and as comfortable as a Lazy Boy!
Back at my old job, one of our customers, and good friend Ruth had one of these Roadmasters that I considered the epitome...the perfect example of what a Roadmaster wagon should be. I always loved her car and told her I wanted to buy it if she ever sold it. Eventually I left the company, and she eventually traded the car in on something else. We still stay in touch and she always mentions that she was so sorry I did not get her car. That being said, whenever I thought of wagons, hers was first on my mind.
Lately I have been desiring a bigger car for my off time. Lori has a Sentra, I have a Toyota truck and you get a couple of people in those small cars and it gets claustrophobic. I have my van for work and a beater van for chores. The beater van is about the only option to take Foster for a ride. All of my cars only seat 2 people. Loris Sentra seats 4 tightly, but no dogs or packages. I have been looking at big sedans like Gran Marquis or Crown Vics or Caprices. I know if I had bought one, I would keep saying "its not a Roadmaster".
I found a Roadmaster for sale, but it was a coupe, not a wagon. It was a PRE Corvette motor sedan and had a ton of miles on it. The old man wanted a lot of money for it too...he said he was selling it because he went to a funeral up north and found a Roadmaster wagon for sale. Grrr. LOL.
I have been thinking a European wagon would suit me...ideally a VW Passat or a Volvo, since they were bigger, but was thinking of settling for a BMW 3 series or a Jetta. Just keeping an open mind. I found a BMW that came close and was really thinking about making an offer on it. I went to my mechanic for an oil change in the van, and ran my thoughts by him to see if there were any maintenance nightmares involved with BMWs. I mentioned to him that if I had my druthers, I'd "druther" have a Roadmaster from 94-96. He said his neighbor had one and would call me with the info.
My friend called me that night and gave me the name of a fellow who indeed, had a 94 wagon for sale. I was excited to see it in white, in his driveway. The downside was, the wheels were not pleasing, the interior was a little rougher than I wanted and the engine had been molested a little but seemed all good except the water pump. It needed window regulators, an ac compressor and other stuff....not ready to drive, but more like a project. He had only 112k miles on it and wanted $2800 which was a fair enough price. I stewed on it a little and looked to see what else was on the internet.
My buddy turned me on to an Ebay auction where a mint 94 with 89k was at 2300 dollars. I watched the bidding and committed to $4500, but with car being in South Carolina, was not gambling more than that sight unseen. The guy had Roadmaster history and a 100% positive rating, so odds were good it would be ok.
Meanwhile, I went to Craigslist to list some give away items, and found an ad that had ONLY been there a couple of hours that said simply "95 Roadmaster, new tires needs nothing $2900". I contacted the guy 4 times or so, then waited to be contacted. He was off line all weekend and called me 830 Monday morning. He told me where he worked and said to come see the car anytime. I boogied right over.
I found myself at a high end luxury car dealership. The fellow I met was the mechanic there. I had a vibe at first that he may have been getting cars cheap and flipping them on Craigslist...a popular way to sell junky cars on their last legs. Imagine my surprise at seeing a car sitting in the parking lot that looked EXACTLY the same as Ruth's car that I coveted! Goldish Beige paint, Tan leather interior, great condition. I immediately got suspicious and started my investigation...looking at the car on its own merits. Everything seemed to check out...no damage, original car, no signs of accidents, repair or water damage, original glass, all options correct, original radio...so we go on a test drive. All works correctly, except the horn. I offered him $2500 if he fixed the horn, he took 26. Left the car with him to fix and went to lunch, came back and used his tag to stash the car in Holly Hill. With the title, checked out the history and indeed, this was an original owner car. The original owner bought it at age 72 and is now 87 and no longer driving. The mechanic I dealt with had been doing the service on the car for years and also printed out all the service records for me!!! I could not BELIEVE what I had stumbled upon. I titled the car the next day and drove it home and went through it stem to stern. Other than a little dirt here and there, all was as it should be. I spent Saturday scrubbing, polishing, carpet cleaning and dressing the interior panels while looking for problems. Car checks out fine. It has plenty of power as well!! Runs like a brand new car.
The ebay auction I was involved with closed. That 94 sold for $6200. There is another one in Palm Bay for 6k. These cars, clean are going up in value as they have become one of the cars from the 90s that are collectible. People seek these wagons out daily. There are forums online for owners to share info and stories about them. The clean ones with low mileage are becoming rare. People rave that they are getting 200-400 thousand miles out of them with no real issues. The ones that are not wrecked are being driven, or worse, chopped up and customized. The internet is full of stories of people paying top dollar for high mileage wagons to customize. I just watched a video of a guy who was PLEASED to have paid 4300 dollars for a wagon with 193k miles. His quote was "Jesus, thank you for finally putting a good car in front of me". I challenge any reader here to find a bad review or a disgruntled owner of a 94/95 or 96 Roadmaster Estate.
My friends will look at this and either say "WHY??" or look at it and beam and ask where in the heck I found it. LOL!! Either way, I see the value in this car, both emotionally and financially. It takes me back to being a kid again...I still picture it as an old Vista Cruiser or Skylark wagon from the 70s, with modern conveniences added. It has been a long time since I have been emotionally attached to a car, and this one did it! I am just so pleased about finding this, let alone the fact that it was at a very reasonable price and the car has extremely low mileage! This is a car that I will be owning for many years.

Happy New Year 2012
2010 sucked. Period. 2011 was a lot of clean up from 2010. The end of 2011 just got better, and now 2012 is going to be splendid...I am counting on this. I rang in the new year at Halifax putting on a show there, then spent the next day cleansing the atmosphere by burning my yard waste. I had YEARS of brush stacked up, and have not been able to get to burning it for either legal reasons (burn bans), weather or wind, or just time. This was the perfect day. Once the fire got going I got out my chainsaw and cut everything down that was troublesome, and removed a small tree from the front yard...it is all BURNED, gone and ceasing to exist. I burned all my bills and documents...nothing cluttering the new year so far.
My resolution this year is to get rid of material things. Anything I do not need or love or use needs to go away this year. Growing up poor leads to a slight hoarding mentality. You have a fear of getting rid of something because you might need it or someone you know may need it. I started giving stuff away already, and that will continue until I see a noticeable space in my surroundings.
I also am committing to improving my quality of life by upgrading some of my technology. I do not spend a lot of money on myself, and this year I will afford myself the luxury of things like new computers and TVs and bluray players, etc... Gonna get into this decade. LOL!
I am also giving new thought this year to my interactions with those family members around me with whom I have strained relations. I don't hold grudges...but I also get tired of having the same arguments, so I am committing to not arguing or debating with people who do not agree with me. Similarly, life is too short, and if someone does not want to communicate with me, I will have to find peace in that and not lose sleep over it. It has been pointed out that I have too many people around me volunteering cheerfully to be my friend, to have me in their company and circle for me to stress out over the few that for what ever reason find me to be objectionable and undesirable.
I hope all of you are looking forward to a great year this year, as I am.
