TIME OUT!

Dear readers, fellow authors, and friends
Many of you have followed my career as a novelist. You have experienced my creativity through the written word.  My writing has taken a back seat to inventing — another application to my creativity.  Novels and screenplays are entertainment.  My inventions are life changing.  I’ve developed the path toward curing major maladies to healthy living and to very green ‘off grid’ energy.

Just suppose you could wake up every morning — turn on a machine I invented, place a mask over you nose and mouth and breathe deeply for ten minutes.  Then repeat the process in the afternoon or evening.  If you had one of these units, you could cure cancer, heart conditions, strokes, diabetes, HIV, AIDS, ED, MS, STD’s and a host of minor ailments and conditions. Oh, yeah… it’s also an anti aging system.  It’s proven, accepted by many, and touted as the next wave in medicine.  NOTE: it’s real and it’s for sale.  Contact me for details.


What if -- you could attach a device to your water faucet or other source of water and generate electricity — 12 volt or 24 volt.  This device will charge a battery or series of batteries which if one has an inverter could run your appliances, lights, ozone generator and maybe even charge the batteries of your electric car or scooter.  What if this same unit produced compressed air — enough to inflate your tires, or run a pneumatic tool set. What if it cooled your house? Everything mentioned above without burning fossil fuels — quiet and ‘green’— personified.
Consider that these units will come in various sizes. 
The smallest, about the size of a microwave oven, charges cell phones, radios, provides emergency lighting, and may power your refrigerator — just a basic ‘brown-out’ unit. 
The second size is the size of a refrigerator and will power an entire household; including the charging of your electric scooter batteries — ostensibly keeping your home ‘off the grid’.
The third size resembles a railroad boxcar and will serve the electrical needs of an entire neighborhood or large business.

NOTE:  The science is proven.  It’s real.  However, the units are not yet available for sale.
That’s what I’ve been doing, folks.  That’s why no new novels for a couple of years… Contact me for further details.

OPEN CARRY MANNERS AND OTHER TOPICS

Grandview Horse Roundup 1973.  Yours truly on the far left. 
All my cowboy buddies were packing.

REARM AMERICA

In the past eight years, the number of people who purchased firearms has nearly doubled — with 2015 setting records. Over twenty-three million people (23,000,000) applied for background checks. These statistics indicate people are concerned about their safety. These are gun buyers abiding by the law. Will the terrorists or Wacko’s purchase in a legal manner? One has to assume — Not!
Private citizens have begun to realize that the ‘soft on terror administration’ is not going to protect them. Only a well armed citizenry can protect the home-front.
DIPWADS,USE YOUR BRAIN!I believe in ‘open carry’. I guess it’s the old cowboy in me. It should be nationwide and possibly worldwide. What I don’t believe in… are some of the fools that are abusing their rights by flaunting their weapons. PISTOL PACKERS, you need to realize that some ‘new age’ citizens consider your actions akin to streaking — indecent exposure! Be sensible. Don’t walk into a ladies clothing store packing your six shooter!  
As for you — HERO WANNABE — yes you, the misguided fool that thought shooting at a fleeing bandit who had robbed a restaurant was heroic. Not cool dude! The cops have arrested you for reckless endangerment and a host of minor infractions. You will probably serve more time than the bandit. What were you thinking? The robber left the building, no one was hurt, and the insurance covered the loss. Stupid shit like your stunt just adds fuel to the anti-gun movement. We’re trying to reverse the political cowardliness of the past fifty years, not run around shooting up the town like a drunken cowboy!
REARM AMERICA is based on the foundation of reasonable actions to protect one’s family and friends from the terrorists and mental cases that roam our streets and infect every aspect of our communities. We don’t need confrontation with the authorities. In fact we would like to be left alone and secretly know we can protect our own. Being responsible is part of the Rearm America manifests. Common sense should always prevail. 
I copied this article off the yahoo news page a few days ago. It spoke to restaurants policies concerning open carry.


“…Across the country, open-carry laws have divided restaurant owners. A new　Texas open-carry law that took effect on January 1 allows citizens to display guns in public spaces. Restaurants such as Houston barbecue joint Brooks Place have welcomed the change by　offering gun-toting customers meal discounts. Dueling Irons in Idaho has also　come out in favor of open-carry permits.　Others are decidedly less pleased with the new policies: Major brands like Chipotle and　Panera have　enacted policies　asking patrons to keep firearms out of their restaurants…”

I’m not certain if the owners of these pro ‘open carry’ restaurants are seeking headlines to bolster their trade or if they’re making political statements. It’s up you, as patrons, to determine their motive. (psst, terrorists, I wouldn’t go in there.) However, those restaurants that loudly oppose, ‘open carry’ are actually announcing to the wackos and terrorists that they are an unguarded kill zone.
WRITING AND PUBLISHING
I started my quasi autobiography (THE DAY BEFORE PAYDAY) a few months ago. I’m not enthusiastic about the outline nor the actual day to day writing, because I feel it’s self serving and actually quite boring. The proverbial birth to death lineal progression books are losers; a monument to a bent ego. However, my fan base has harped on me constantly since I turned 70. 
I decided to toss out a ‘change-up’. I am resurrecting some of my back-stories to the novels I’ve published. The preliminary stories to the notable events that inspired the novel will serve to further explain who I am and how I think. (I suspect it may never reach publication because I’m not inspired to write about myself. It’s akin to taking a ‘selfie’.)
COIN OF THE REALM, the 4th in the Jimmy Hart series, is moving along. It’s reached a plot point where one of the main characters has to die in order to make the rest of the story work. Crafting that scene has been difficult. It has been written and deleted several times. I refuse to let the overall story suffer because of my poor treatment of this series of connected scenes. So, I usually swap novels and write on UNBROKEN or pound out a section of this blog. 
OBSERVATION
Panama and the Philippines have a low rate of pay for their employees. Panama’s is bit higher than the Philippines. I have friends who have businesses in Panama. They report that their cost of labor is about the same as the USA because the employees and unreliable and so incompetent they need three or four to do the job of one. 
Philippines are noted for hard working employees. Like most countries where the Spanish dropped their anchor, the Philippines has more workers than jobs because of the enormous family size. They have exported their workforce for decades.  Businesses here seem to have more people working than is necessary as well. I haven’t seen the gross incompetence or unreliability like Panama, so I suspect the high employee ratio is because of the large family circles.
OZONE THERAPY
My ozone system is set up in my home here near Dumaguete. I have been making acquaintances with a lot of foreigners here. Mostly married to Filipina women. Since most of the guys are retired and they have much younger wives, I have decided to promote the side effects of the protocols used in treating circulatory problems. The secondary benefits (side effects) is an increased libido. This is not a joke. It’s actually the result of ozone cleaning out the arteries, veins, and capillaries. When the plumbing is clean and the prostrate is normalized, the blood can reach that libido pump.
I have one man using the system. I will introduce him to ozonated honey this morning and maybe next week he can witness a direct injection by my nurse. I will invites several others to participate. Perhaps we can reverse some of the aging and put more smiles on these Filipina women.
RAVE
Panama has power outages and surges. They consistently had low voltage. Those conditions continue to damage my ozone generators. Here in the Philippines, the voltage is 220 rather then the 110 of Panama and the USA. We suffer many ‘brown outs’ due to more severe weather. My equipment is not experiencing the problems because of the higher voltage. Hurray for 220V 60cycle!
RANT
The United States and the Philippines are both having elections in 2016. Noteworthy news is being buried in the lower sections and interior pages of news reporting in favor of the HE SAID/SHE SAID bullshit of politics. It’s not high drama — It’s loose bowel syndrome.

OBSERVATIONS, DIRECTIONS, AND INVENTIONS

OBSERVATION

The smart phone coupled with Facebook and other social media like Twitter, has spawned a new type of unproductive person. The LAME individual (Look At Me, Everybody). There’s a new generation of them — All over the world. Here’s how it works. A young woman (guys don't do this very often)begins taking selfies at some kind of gathering; maybe a swimming pool or a party. Then the woman posts thirty or forty of these ‘action shots’ on their face book. Now, all the friends that follow this LAME person hit a ‘like’ or more often, add a short comment. Then LAME responds to these comments and posts more photos; encouraging the other participants to follow suite. Soon, the circle becomes larger and the postings take on a life of their own, No one does anything but click ‘like’ and then make comments in their Facebook page.   (They are doing this while on your payroll) Kinda lame, right?

OZONE BUSINESS FOR SALE
I enjoy being creative. Since I am experiencing good health I expect to write several more novels and invent a few more simple products before I vegetate, I’ve decided to sell my Ozone creations.


The medical ozone generator I have created is not a world crusher. The breathing apparatus is… or could be. I designed the BA so that it only works with my machine — none other. If I modified it somewhat, it would work with the Brockman two stage generators. It will not work with just an ordinary ozone generator. I could make it work with lesser models but have no inclination at this stage of my development.

Perhaps my age and the absence of deep pockets fuels my lack of initiative and any desire to take this small enterprise to a higher plateau. I’ve been operating out of my back pocket; refusing to take on partners or go into debt.  
What it needs is a business foundation plus the capital and talent to make it a viable product. It needs a way to increase the margins and a way to market; collateral material, web site, videos and distribution. All easy to accomplish with enough time and resources.
INVENTIONS
Meanwhile, I’m moving forward. Several people have witnessed the latest invention I’m doing — the air extractor. Making compressed air out of the flow of water. My second prototype proved my science to be correct. (water falling from 5 feet through my apparatus, generated enough air to blow up a balloon.) The next rendition of the unit produced 60 PSI from an overflow from my water tank.(a fall of 39 feet)
Prototype #3 is being engineered to provide energy to an entire home by the use of water flow from a domestic water supply. This invention could be a world changer… it has the ability to generate household power for half of what the BLOOM system is currently charging for their energy cell system. Plus, it needs no fuel. Just the kinetic power of water.
RANT 
As I begin 2016 another year older, it is sad for me to report that additional years haven’t made me any wiser. Especially in the trust department.
When I sold everything in Panama to move to the Philippines, I issued credit to three ozone customers I thought were trustworthy. One, my fiend, Malcolm was sterling. He has a good character and paid me without qualms. The other two are a different story. Neither have paid and are unwilling to even return my e-mails. Both men are past eighty and receive the benefits of my Ozone Systems. One is very dependent on the age reversal benefits. The other man has a system for purifying his swimming pool plus I loaned him a unit to purify his drinking water. He hasn’t paid me nor has he returned the loner unit.
Now it’s time to label these two guys DUMB and DUMBER. 
Does either deadbeat dummy think I will ever repair their equipment if a problem occurs? I suspect they haven’t thought about that aspect. I would think these two octogenarians would have learned this simple truth: When someone makes a decision, they are either rewarded or suffer a consequence(s). Their combined reward is less than $1500. USD.
RAVE
A short testimonial from a satisfied client.

HAPPY NEW YEAR -- KICK SOME BUTT IN 2016

PERFORMANCE COUNTS



Since I write on a variety of subjects, I’ve decided to reapportion my blog into several sectors; REARM AMERICA — WRITING/PUBLISHING — OZONE THERAPY — INVENTIONS — and occasional a RAVE/RANT

WRITING/PUBLISHING — One day, a long time ago, I bought an old MACK dump truck at an auction. The truck was over thirty years old and had been used hard. It was still running and functioning. My task for the truck was simple yet it needed to work everyday for a couple of hours in the feedlot I’d purchased. I was impressed by its performance. That was the operative word. PERFORMANCE! Part of the manufacturers motto. Riveted on the inside of the driver-side door, it had the logo — the stylized bulldog, and just below was their promotional motto, PERFORMANCE COUNTS!

I adopted (lifted) that motto and applied it to every endeavor in my life. When I managed sales forces, it was our battle cry. When I owned factories, it was our daily theme.

While writing, PERFORMANCE COUNTS became my personal creed. I typed it on a sticker and placed it on the lid of my old typewriter. No one was going to create a news story, feature article or novel for me. I had to develop the discipline to write the words and string them together in sentences, then paragraphs, and eventually chapters. It must have worked. In addition to all the newspaper stories, magazine articles, and short stories I generated over my journalism career, I have published fourteen books and have authored six original screenplays.

Am I proud of my achievements? Not necessarily; um, ahhh, yeah, somewhat… Satisfied? Hardly. I have two other novels in the bowels of my laptop and one more sitting at my editor's desk.

Each unit began with an idea, converted to an outline, and then the first character was typed. The writing has to take on a life of it’s own, so one has to maintain a discipline to put down a few words each day. I usually have two or three novels at different stages of completion.

Every author is approached by someone who had a life changing event or an idea. They all want to TELL you the idea - co-author the outline, and then have you, the author, write the story or novel. It’s misguided from the start. Any professional will turn them down in a heartbeat. It’s like ghostwriting only worse. It usually hurts their feeling but that can’t be helped. I try to encourage them to write the story themselves. Hmmmmm, I wonder why it never happened?  PERFORMANCE COUNTS!

OZONE THERAPY — The various business models I’ve employed to get ozone therapy to the masses have failed. Perhaps it’s the selection of my operators. Perhaps the overall plan. Whatever --it has to change. I have several hundred thousand dollars tied up in the engineering and inventory. If I don’t see some advancement soon, I will sell out. At my age, that seems the most prudent option. However, my dream of getting ozone therapy to the masses will have failed; only the middle class and rich will have access to this revolutionary healing process. The Germans and Chinese have made overtures. Perhaps I need to see if they are willing to put out the cash. Vamos a ver — PERFORMANCE COUNTS!

INVENTIONS — Most of my friends and fans know about the two inventions in the Ozone industry. I’ll not bore you with repetition. However, I have modified my ozone breathing apparatus so it replaces the direct injections in most cases.

My air extractor is still at an engineering facility in Cebu City. I expect the prototype drawings to reach the machine shop in early February.

My latest project is very self serving… not an invention — just a contraption to acquire better Internet signal. It’s more of a ‘McGiver’ fix to a nagging condition.

REARM AMERICA — Pack the heat but use your vote.

RAVE

The Philippines represents a country of craftsmen. Everything that is natural to the islands gets recycled into something. The old fashioned methods of palm leaf weaving, bamboo structures, native wood/bamboo furniture, and clay pottery, just to name a few crafts located close to where I live. For this I’m thankful.

RANT

Crap on a crowbar! My passport says I’m 74 years old today.



Courage and Second amendment to the US constitution.

Courage and Second amendment to the US constitution.

REARM AMERICA


I learned early in life that is dumber than dumb to take a knife to a gunfight. Well, the world has been unarmed so knives are now becoming the weapons of choice for would-be terrorists. Box cutters brought down three jets. The guy in London and those folks in Jerusalem are raising hell with knives.


If one of those fools with the knives ever attack me or many of my friends, it would be their last act in this world. Most of us carry. Not all of us are legal but our attitude is: let’s live through the ordeal and sort out the legal BS later.


We are not radicals, except for the second amendment — the right to bear arms. This is the charter for a citizen militia. At no time in our recent history has the ‘citizen militia’ more required than now. The travesty of the times, is the way our western populations have been stripped of our rights by the power of the governments.


Each incident — the mass murders — appear to be a battle cry for the gun control proponents. Even the lame duck president — is calling for stricter weapons control. (a powerful voice to this idiocy)


THINK THAT POSITION THROUGH. How does a strict gun control law eliminate putting guns in the hands of our enemies; the terrorists? How would a LAW stop a radical muslim from wanting to destroy our citizens? These warped individuals will find a way to kill us. It’s their mission. We’re at war with these radicals! Do you think he/she will obey the law? Of course not! They will find a way to bring weapons or bombs into the country… they will steal from other citizens, law enforcement or the military or buy weapons from the underworld. They will find a way to kill innocent citizens -- UNLESS THEY ARE MET WITH FORCE!  Equal force!
 Look at France. A citizen cannot purchase a weapon in France — very strict gun control. They have no second amendment. Those people were slaughtered by ISIS. The radicals with the guns and bombs. Do you suppose one or two armed citizens at that rock concert or the San Bernardino slaughter could have diminished the carnage? I believe they would have made a difference — IF they were trained in the use of their weapon of choice, AND had the courage to shoot back.


Courage is another ingredient that seems to be in short supply. To me it seems it has been bred out of our citizenry. Except for those individuals in the armed forces and some of the contact sports, courage appears to all but disappeared except in the world of the radical extremists. Hemingway defined courage as “Grace under pressure.” It was presumed back in his day that everyone had courage — some just more than others. Not true today. Courage has been replaced by politically correct cowardice. 


It's not right -- politically... but Merry Christmas!

This and that!!

It appears my new home in the Dumaguete area has very poor internet reception.  It's unlikely it will improve in the near future.  So, most of my postings will be intermittent and unorganized; Ozone business, writing subjects, and Rearm America.  Plus my travel experiences. 


***
REARM AMERICA.  Yahoo news posted this map last week.  It basically shows that most every state in the union has laws pertaining to carrying weapons.  Some are easy -- others are harsh.    If you meet the requirements, a law abiding citizen can carry in every state.  Take the time and deal with the hassle.  It may save your life.
http://news.yahoo.com/states-allow-concealed-carry-map-192536953.html

Writing and promotion:
Almost every day I write a few hundred to several thousand words.  I do not do any promotion for a variety of reasons.  Subsequently, my sales are deep into the growler.  Xmas will be lean.

Old Tree Ozone:
Inventory reduction sale
Every year, most businesses reduce their inventory in order to eliminate inventory taxes and bolster their working capital. When I was in the ranching business, we did something similar — we sorted the cattle and sold those cows or bulls that did not produce along with the calves.
I find myself in the same predicament with ozone generators. Many were placed into Ozone Centers — to be rented by the minute so more people could have the therapy without a large capital investment. Unfortunately, the initial enthusiasm of some of my operators has worn off and there has been negligible activity.   
My first choice is to have ozone centers. Unfortunately, not everyone in Central America shares my passion for ozone therapy. I need to gate some units so I can concentrate my focus in Asia where enthusiasm is high.
The following inventory is for sale at discounted prices. 

• Model 06 medical grade unit — new style $2700.00 FOB Dumaguete, Philippines. (I can ship a breathing apparatus with this unit for an additional $1200.)
• (Two units) Model 06 medical grade unit (Alum. Case — hour meter) — Plus Breathing Apparatus. $3900.00 each. FOB David, Panama.

These prices are only available during the remainder of 2015. Please contact me with any questions.

REARM AMERICA -- CARRY A WEAPON

Rearm America.

A two shot derringer carried by one of the people in the recent San Bernardino massacre could have saved a lot of lives. This is senseless… allowing these slaughters. It’s not complicated. Set your watch back sixty years and then prepare to witness a rebirth of law and order. Only a well armed citizenry will put an end to these atrocities. Law abiding citizens are the only hope to quell this heinous attack on humanity by radical muslims. WAKE UP AMERICA and the western world! Gun control has created this soft underbelly. The enemies of civilization are hitting where they know we can’t hit back. The old bumper sticker from times past is certainly true now. WHEN YOU OUTLAW GUNS — ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS.

How many more people being mass murdered will it take for you to arm yourself and perhaps stop the next attempted slaughter.

The derringer shown above is small. It will fit in a purse or fanny pack. One can place it in a pocket. It fires two rounds of .38 special. It can be purchased new for less than $125.

Think about the results if a terrorist was killed after the first few rounds were fired. An itty bitty weapon and a few moments of courage could have stopped this bloodbath.

GROW A PAIR — BUY A WEAPON AND CARRY IT EVERYWHERE!!!
