Best Day of the year

November, 15 the mother of all days! Better then, Christmas, your birthday, and winning the lotto. One million hunters will take to the woods on Michigan’s opening day of firearm deer season to try in bag the allusive whitetail deer. Even with the economy in the tank hunters will still pump millions of dollars into Michigan’s needy economy. License fees, clothing, gear and ammunition will be the bulk of money spent. Several families’ still make the trip over the bridge to their favorite hunting grounds in the Upper Peninsula; many will stay in cabins or make shift deer camps. The hunt isn’t all about shooting a big buck or even seeing deer, for many it’s about family tradition spending time with family or good friends, family tradition still runs strong in the “hunting community” many fathers pass down all their skills ( luck) and years of knowledge (bull s###) to their children along with several far fetched tails.

As the sun breaks the horizon I hear a whisper saying dad, dad, here comes some deer dad. One has horns, is it a shooter dad? Dad, do you think they are going to come our way? As we watch the deer a flock of geese fly over looking for a place to land. As we watch the deer walk away from us, we notice a squirrel perched on a limb staring at us. The squirrel climbs down the tree grabs an ear of corn and takes off into the woods. As we talk about past seasons and present life, the time passes quickly and before we know it, the sun is starting to fall. We see several more deer before the sun sets but instead of shooting we watch them and wait for the big one. At dusk we gather all our stuff and decide to call it a day. As we head back to the house my daughter Britt asks, so Dad do you think will get one tomorrow?

Reseach Paper

I’m doing my research paper on the difference between trade name drugs and generic drugs.  I thought it would be a good topic due to the rising prices of medical insurance.  My opinion on this topic is that we’re getting screwed by the drug manufactures on their ridiculous prices that put on these drugs.  I know that there is cost in making these drugs but, the profits they make are astronomical.  Drug companies have a patent on the drug that last from five to seven years, after the paten runs out any drug company may manufacture the drug.  What most people don’t realize is that every drug has some kind of side effect.    The more research that I do on this topic the more pissed I became.  Hospital have two different rates that they charge patient, people who have insurance have been known to pay one hundred fifty dollars for an aspirin while people who can’t afford medical insurance usually walk out of the clinics with handfuls of free sample, and we wonder why medical insurance is outrageous. I do believe that there is no price for the cost of being healthy but when the average cost of a doctor visit runs between one hundred and two hundred and fifty dollars for five minutes of the doctor’s time the numbers just don’t add up. With more and more doctors getting busted for medicate fraud are they really in the practice to save life’s or to get richer?
