30 Shekels

Although I'll never describe myself Christ-Like, I have my own Judas.

Judas turned over Jesus to the Romans for 30 Shekels... I know how he must have felt. Jesus also taught that it's better to turn the other cheek.

But some things you just can't forgive.

I'm not going to get into it right now. All I'll say is it backfired...

I will never, ever trust another woman.

Ever again.

And, in the words of a famous Roman...

Ettu, Brute?

End of the sugar harvest crop, 2006~2007

After several months of working non-stop in Florida, we finally finished the sugar crop on April 11th.

From October 16th, 2006 to April 11th, 2007 Jack and I hauled a total of 9,456 loaded cane cars to the mill and took 11,149 empty cars to the various elevators.

The last few months have been a huge learning experience for me. I've learned how to be a railroad conductor, next is to be a railroad engineer.

I'm taking a break now to sleep. For a month or two.
