(In response to an article "Take life insurance in your own hands-Term policy plus mutual fund might be best strategy")
Dear Ones,
So what will your family do if you are not here. Tomorrow you are gone. What is your plan to have them help themselves? Your options are:
1. Do nothing.
2. Do something.
3. Everyone has to have a will and all the legal documents that go with the will to protect your life's work. The boy scouts were correct. BE PREPARED. This is your life, your time is today to take action. All Weiland Warriors DO THIS.
I sold this stuff for a time in San Antonio licensed by the state of Texas, worked my way up to RVP at Primerica company.
Who in the world cares more about you than the mirror? When I did this in 1979-89 it's now for you to know.
1. 90% of life insurance sold in the world was sold in the US.
2. Most loud in US outside government were insurance companies.
3. Insurance companies bet you are going to LIVE and you bet you are going to DIE.
4. Who in this world care more about your money than you? Only you and the mirror.
5. So please understand TERM is the only kind you should buy. NOTHING ELSE EVER! and some day you may have so much money you will not need any insurance.
OK, When you buy term you RENT that amount for 30 days. So it's $50-100 or more or less. You MUST be full of the program to keep your body near 100% HEALTH so that easy. The Word of Wisdom you have been part of your upbringing so if you follow that plan your life will be long and full of good living. If using your free will (only men and women can will and reason) no other living thing can do that! (Down the chain of living things it's called condition reflex.) So you decide how to care for your body. The insurance company "actuary" is the group in the insurance company that KNOWS exactly the day +/- a few days that you will die. That's their job. If you smoke, do drugs, boogie it up and tell the truth to the insurance company you pay a higher rate for $____ because you are going to die sooner. They then do what from day one. They take your money, invest it, make a profit on hour money and live in a big house, drive a big car and take a vacation every month for about 10 days each and every month. Hey. Why did I give them my money so they can use my money to make a profit.
Ok, so what we did was (1980) say $100 is what you have in your budget for insurance. We took $50 and you had, for 20 years, a $500,000 plan with goal of $100,000 in your investment plan. This would give your wife $1,000 a month forever and still leave the $100,000. We then take the other $50 and invest it into mutual funds. Short need, long term stuff. It grows, you never touch it. It's your money you invest and you can buy/sell as you want. This program will grow. It is about 7% +/- since George Washington times more or less. Just keep trucking.
Do you did OK. Dead $500,000 + $1,000 a month + what the mutual funds, stocks, bonds and she can work some part time and home or whatever she is full of passion for. An ice cream ?? will do just fine. If you buy anything else these insurance people will fool you, take advantage of you. They do just fine. Because people trust them. The words they use will trick you.
All Weiland Warriors are smarter than that. If you want to ask me more, I am still here. It's 01 July 2013. Just buy term and invest the difference. Emergency fund 1st. 6 months pay in cash. 100% debt free. 0 credit cards. No loans. Pay cash for everything. You can barter. Americans are the the worst barter people in this world. We just accept the stated printed price. Never do this. People can't say no unless you ask them.

(In response to an article, USA TODAY, "Best Ice Cream Parlors in the World")
1. Luxurious treat for the elite ups until 1800s when ice houses were invented.
2. Also called sorbet, gelato, frozen custard, ices. Names vanilla then plain, cone sandwiches to floats, sundaes and spectrum is continuing to expand across the globe.
3. Blue Bell near Houston, Texas. Best, I believe. Close to home, cows are hormone free. Must be the key!
4. Toppings. Everything you can think of even catsup.
5. My most memorable time to eat ice cream 1963-65. Pshauar Pakistan, CIA compound edge of city-night. Dinner for our crew. Chuck Empy. Great mormon friend from Adona Turkey, Peshaoor Pakistan and Frankfurt Germany. Well, after this meal we all went for a walk about in the back yard there. "Watch out for critters." But just as we get into the backyard, Chuck fires his dum dum cannon (it's in OLD books, a toy one and then water buffalo milk. The butter milk content must be not big 10,000) But noise and anyway that home crank wooden USA metal. Three paks were cranking these manual machines, we all maybe 20+ of us just stared in the dark, but bright starlit night sky!
It was about 90 degrees but there is no question that was one time that I was so....felt good all over. In this place, just about if you drilled a hole thru the earth was almost 1/2 way around the world from San Antonio, Texas. The stars were so close. Quiet words in 2 different languages. To me, no English for a time. I truly enjoyed this ice cream. So cold. Home made. I ate TWO servings. What a neat adventure for me and now here I am sharing this memory with you. I don't think I ever told you "My time with the CIA eating home made ice cream not too far from the Kyber Pass."
The LIST:
1. Fenocchio, Nice France
2. Bar Gelatetia, Erccole? Pizzo Italy
3. Vipiteno Galeria, Sao Paulo Brazil
4. Antico Caffe Spirnato, Palermo Italy Sicily
5. Big Gay Ice Cream, New York City
6. Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream, Seattle (Tom and NanC, have you taken the team to this place? It must be on the requirement list.)
7. Perche No!, Florence Italy
8. Murphy's, Dingle Ireland
9. Bi-Rite Creamery, San Francisco
10. Vaffelbageriet, Copenhagen Denmark
11. The Creamery, Capetown South Africa
12. Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, Ohio and Nashiville, TN

14. A M Scannapieco, Buenos Aires Argentina
15. Simmo's Ice Creamery, Dunsborough Australia
Hmmmm... Blue Bell is not here is it? But it could be.....

(In response to an article, "What is the greatest invention? Duct Tape. It's like the force. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds everything together." by Ricky Loveland, Jr.)
If you were all here, write down what you believe (at your age) what it is (the greatest invention) and why you believe this is the greatest invention in the history of mankind?
Then if you have time tell us in some way. A written note, email, skype, or eye to eye. Each person will be so unique. I believe you know from their life experiences to this Mother's Day 2013. I recall for it was your mother who loved you before you were born, who carried you close to her heart and then passed through the Valley of the Shadow of Death to give you life which you have accepted as a matter of course without any emphasis of appreciation or conscience gratitude as you've grown older.
Ask each person alone, in private so one will not feed off another one, a true measure of each Warriors thinking at this one on one with your. Here a true measure of what each Warrior believes at this moment-this 12th day of May 2013.

Yes indeed-Moms are special and once each year is not enough for sure to do what mom wants. This is a want, not a need. Of course there is a big difference between these two. Im in Dairy Queen getting Fran a surprise cause it's Mother's Day. A big man stands behind me in line and orders a big ice cream cake. I said, "Your wife is really special for you" He butts in, "No sir. Not for my wife. This is for my mom. I asked her what she wanted for Mother's Day and she said Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen." Then I said, "Are you going to test it first to make sure it's just right?" He said, "No. This my mother will really enjoy. Maybe she will share." We smiled and walked away. Go to my sweet Frances.

Dear Warriors,
This is one tough question for me. The wheel, make and control fire, Hmmmm..... How about the first DIODE (did I spell that correctly). Look at what Benjamin Franklin did, the ability to record ideas.
The greatest invention, you all know this story, stuff has been there all the time. Man (who can will and reason-no other living thing can do that-what these other living things can do is called conductive reflex) Ok so Man will and reasons either inductively or deductively and he discovers what was there all the time. Hmmm..... Who is it that does not believe in _____? Hmmm... How about finding and organizing and recording DNA. How about aides for the eyes so we can see 20/20. In all your life experiences you have become what you are today the sum of your family, mom and dad, and here you are today. Now what will you do with what has been given you and your fine tuned abilities to be able to do so many things SO WELL.
Maybe it was the very first ice cream. I wonder who and where. Or was it an accident. Some inventions appear when those searching on something else and WOW! Something brand new. NASA from it's first day has discovered a big invention generator that has helped mankind the world over.
Well, what in your life experience in your mind has been the greatest invention to help all of mankind? Please tell me.

I Am Bored-Nothing to Do!!
Boring is not part of the Weiland Warrior lifestyle. If you want to do nothing, then change your name and leave our tribe, if on the other hand you elect never to ever use or to "be bored" you are a true blue Weiland Warrior.
I am bored! Not in this family. I wish I had something to do. Oh. Okay. Why don't you read letters that our second president, what was his name, that's correct-John Adams. He wrote to Thomas Jefferson (oh your third president) the two exchanged letters which are VERY interesting for you even in this day 2013! Go ahead, read one and see if you like it!
Adams to Jefferson letter so interesting. Any subject you can think of you will find in your local library, maybe even the library in your very own home. Everyone has access to a computer, iPad, iPod or what some electric machine.
Just click on ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA or National Geographic and in your lifetime you can never read all the subjects they have information about which then with this knowledge you, a famous Weiland Warrior, can go out there in this world and do great things to help. Even help Mother Nature.
To be bored is not who we are.
Love you all

George Jones just passed away yesterday. Congestive heart failure.
Delia, our good friend from San Antonio (since 1956) is at Tropicana. We visit, have lunch then Fran and I stop to play. I go get change. George Jones slides in and sits next to Fran. I return as he is walking away. She said we talked a little. A good old western singer who was like no other. Ha. I saw his backside only. Late 1990's-2002

TAPS Designated National Song
I have a history on "Taps". Father and son (I mailed to you) and here is one good thing. As I can, here goes.... Father in the Union Army he did not know his son was fighting for the south. Its night battle has let up some, the father hears sounds of pain not too far away. He closes in and finds this soldier and carries him back to safety behind the lines with some lights the older man finds this wounded man is his son! The lad dies. In going through his pockets the father find the notes. He gets a musician, a bugler, to play these notes. Sounds somber but a great tune or whatever they call a bugle call. The father asks his commander could I have a burial service for my son (who is a confederate soldier) and have the music "Taps" played by the Union musician. The commander after a time says "yes" so TAPS is born and first played at the grave side service of the man who wrote it on a piece of paper. I think I am close to the true story. Some time during the civil war. Again, what are the odds-Father to find son in the ward zone, son dies, and TAPS is born and here we are 2013 and Taps is played at almost every military funeral.

WHEN YOU SPEAK IN PUBLIC
There you are at the mic. You are face to face with one or 10,000 people.
Do not underestimate the use of the pause. Jack Benny was a master of silence at just the right time. The LEAST number of words you use to make a point, the more powerful you are in your speech! I've told you before the mind runs at 400-600 WPM yet the speaking between people goes at 100-150 WPM so what's going on then in the brain? So you see this helps the statement-Fewer words spoken most impact on that target or persons.
