We’ve been involved, and are involved, in war activities. Iraq, Afghanistan, and a number of countries where we are operating clandestinely. It’s amazing that we see Americans expressing their horror at how many casualties we’ve suffered in the wars. In Iraq, an estimated 11,784; in Afghanistan, an estimated 2220 (3305 Coalition deaths). As bad as these numbers are, they pale in comparison to what our nation endured The Paper - 760.747.7119

during World War II. The sacrifices this nation is making to support the costs, both in blood and treasure, also pales in comparison to WWII.
Consider, for example, that during WWII an average 6600 American service men died per MONTH. That comes to about 220 per day. No matter how one looks at it, these statistics for WWII are incredible.
In order to protect the heritage of those veterans who have gone before us, we must diligently and defiantly demand that our American Constitutional Rights be respected and honored. There are those today who seek to take some of those rights and liberties away. We must not allow them to get away with it! • Most Americans who were not adults during WWII have no understanding of the magnitude of it.
Statistics can be boring things, but they can also bring to the forefront just how much we have paid, in both blood and treasure. This listing of some of the aircraft produced gives a bit of insight to it. From World War II:
• 276,000 aircraft manufactured in the US . • 43,000 planes lost overseas, including 23,000 in combat.

• 14,000 lost in the continental U.S.
The US civilian population maintained a dedicated effort for four years, many working long hours seven days per week and often also volunteering for other work. WWII was the largest human effort in history. Families saved tin cans, rubber, fat, lard, anything to help the war effort. WWII MOST PRODUCED COMBAT AIRCRAFT

Give Us This Day Our Daily Chuckle This week, a compendium of wit, wisdom and neat stuff you can tell at parties. Enjoy!
At a high school in Nebraska, a group of male students played a prank. They let three goats loose inside the school. But before turning them loose, they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2 and 4. School Administrators spent most of the day looking for No. 3. Now that's funny, I don't care who you are. And you thought there was nothing to do in Nebraska! •••• I feel the bed shake. I open my eyes and there, I see two of the prettiest brown eyes you ever did see.

"Well, hello there!" I sez, and reach
out and pull her into my arms. I caress her and talk to her and rub her tummy (she loves to have her tummy rubbed).
After about five minutes of joyful play I ask her . . . "you ready to get up?" She promptly jumps out of bed and heads for the kitchen. I get up, get dressed and begin my day.
Oh . . . just for clarity. I'm referring to Cindy, my pug pup . . . not evelyn. Evelyn hardly ever wags her tail. •••• ~GREAT QUOTE~ “A liberal paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns.

Think about those numbers. They average 1,170 aircraft accidents per month---- nearly 40 a day. (However, less than one accident in four resulted in total loss of the aircraft) It gets worse.....
Almost 1,000 Army planes disappeared en route from the US to foreign locations. But an eye-watering 43,581 aircraft were lost overseas including 22,948 on combat missions (18,418 against the Western Axis) and 20,633 attributed to non-combat causes overseas.
In a single 376 plane raid in August 1943, 60 B-17s were shot down. That was a 16 percent loss rate and meant 600 empty bunks in England. In 1942-43 it was statistically impossible for bomber crews to complete a 25-mission tour in Europe . Pacific theatre losses were far less (4,530 in combat) owing to smaller forces committed.

The Paper • Page 4 • December 27, 2018 Carlsbad priest found guilty of Sexual Assault of Seminary Student
Rev. Juan Garcia Castillo, a Carlsbad priest, was found guilty of misdemeanor sexual battery against a seminary student in a case heard last Monday.
The verdict was entered by the jury after a three day trial in Vista Superior Court. Jurors deliberated roughly two hours before reaching their decision. “The evidence spoke for itself pretty loudly, and the jury ended up doing the right thing,” Deputy District Attorney Joshua Brisbane said.
Castillo faces up to six months in jail when sentenced Jan. 18. Castillo was removed from his post at the Carlsbad parish Feb. 4, the same day as the incident. He also had to cover the cost of his legal defense. Bishop Robert W. McElroy said Monday that after reviewing the facts “regarding the allegation of sexual assault against Father Castillo, the diocese of San Diego removed him from ministry in the diocese immediately and permanently.”
The 33-year-old victim — a former Navy lawyer who left his career to join the priesthood — had met Castillo just hours before the night in question at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Carlsbad, where Castillo was an associate priest. Castillo, 35, invited the victim and a
fellow seminarian out for drinks that Saturday night, on Feb. 3, and for hours the priest pushed Long Island iced teas on them, according to testimony. The victim went to the restroom and started to vomit in a toilet shortly before 1 a.m. Castillo followed him in. The victim testified that Castillo approached him from behind in the stall, reached around and grabbed his groin. He told the priest to go away, but Castillo came in a second time, pulling and massaging the student’s genitals in a sexual way, the student testified. The student again told him to leave. The two texted at length in the hour or so following the incident, with the student angrily informing Castillo he would be reporting what happened and Castillo responding with mixtures of confusion and apologies.

Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to get impaired drivers off roads.
During the high-visibility enforcement campaign Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, which runs from Dec. 14 -Jan. 1, the Escondido Police Department will have more officers on the road conducting saturation patrols looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
In addition, the Escondido Police Department will hold a DUI checkpoint on Saturday December 22nd at an undisclosed location within the Escondido city limits looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, as well as checking drivers for proper licensing. “Whether you are home with family or at the bar, it is important that you find a sober ride home after drinking,” said Escondido Police Chief, Craig Carter. “As an adult, it is up to you to make adult decisions and drive sober or use a ride share service. There are no excuses for driving impaired.”
The Escondido Police Department also reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Marijuana, prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications can also be impairing, especially in combin ation with alcohol or other drugs.

according to data from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). “Drunk driving continues to be a huge problem in this country, and more recently, marijuana and drug-impaired driving,” said Chief Carter. “People are out and about shopping for the holidays and going to or hosting parties, so it is important that everyone acts responsibly behind the wheel.”

By the end of the war, over 40,000 airmen were killed in combat theatres and another 18,000 wounded. Some 12,000 missing men were declared dead, including a number "liberated" by the Soviets but never returned. More than 41,000 were captured, half of the 5,400 held by the Japanese died in captivity, compared with one-tenth in German hands. Total combat casualties were pegged at 121,867.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department wants to remind everyone to not drive under the influence this holiday season or anytime.
Deputies will be conducting increased DUI patrols from December 14th to January 1st. Impaired driving doesn't just refer to alcohol. It also means marijuana and prescription drugs. If you're caught driving under the influence, you will go to jail.
So far this year, more than 1,000 people have been arrested for DUI by the Sheriff's Department. In 2017, deputies arrested 1,225 people for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The Sheriff's Department has these tips for a safe holiday season: • Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin • Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home • If you're impaired, use a taxi or ridesharing service. You can also call a sober friend/family member or use public transportation • If you see an impaired driver on the road, call 9-1-1 immediately
276,000 military aircraft. That number was enough not only for US Army, Navy and Marine Corps, but for allies as diverse as Britain, Australia, China and Russia. In fact, from 1943 onward, America produced more planes than Britain and Russia combined. And more than Germany and Japan together 1941-45. However, our enemies took massive losses. Through much of 1944, the Luftwaffe sustained uncontrolled hemorrhaging, reaching 25 percent of aircrews and 40 planes a month. And in late 1944 into 1945, nearly half the pilots in Japanese squadrons had flown fewer than 200 hours. The disparity of two years before had been completely reversed. Experience Level:
Uncle Sam sent many of his sons to war with absolute minimums of training. Some fighter pilots entered combat in 1942 with less than one hour in their assigned aircraft.
The 357th Fighter Group (often known as The Yoxford Boys) went to England in late 1943 having trained on P-39s. The group never saw a Mustang Escondido Has a New City Clerk
Longtime City Clerk Diane Halverson retired in October and Escondido has been on the lookout ever since for a new city clerk.
They found and hired Zack Beck, Oceanside’s elected, part-time city clerk, who accepted the same job in Escondido, an appointed, full-time position. He will begin his new duties in January. Beck, 31, was elected city clerk in Oceanside in 2012 and re-elected without opposition in 2016. Beck, an Oceanside native, will make $118,844 in his new position, the same as Halverson was making. That is far more than the roughly $23,000 he was making in Oceanside, which made the position part-time and cut the compensation at the height of the recession, the same year he was first elected.
“He’s bright, energetic and he knows the business inside and out,” said Escondido City Manager Jeff Epp, “and he comes from a great organization.”
The city clerk’s office has a multitude of duties, including overseeing local elections, organizing city council agendas, staff reports and minutes, and responding to public records requests.

until shortly before its first combat mission.
A high-time P-51 pilot had 30 hours in type. Many had fewer than five hours. Some had one hour.
With arrival of new aircraft, many combat units transitioned in combat. The attitude was, "They all have a stick and a throttle. Go fly “em." When the famed 4th Fighter Group converted from P-47s to P-51s in February 1944, there was no time to stand down for an orderly transition.
The Group commander, Col. Donald Blakeslee, said, "You can learn to fly`51s on the way to the target.’
A future P-47 ace said, "I was sent to England to die." He was not alone. Some fighter pilots tucked their wheels in the well on their first combat mission with one previous flight in the aircraft. Meanwhile, many bomber crews were still learning their trade: of Jimmy Doolittle's 15 pilots on the April 1942 Tokyo raid, only five had won their wings before 1941.

In WWII flying safety took a back seat to combat. The AAF's worst accident rate was recorded by the A-36 Invader version of the P-51: a staggering 274 accidents per 100,000 flying hours. Next worst were the P-39 at 245, the P-40 at 188, and the P-38 at 139. All were Allison powered.
Bomber wrecks were fewer, but more expensive. The B-17 and B-24 averaged 30 and 35 accidents per 100,000 flight hours, respectively-- a horrific figure considering that from 1980 to 2000 the Air Force's major mishap rate was less than two. The B-29 was even worse at 40; the world's most sophisticated, most capable and most expensive bomber was too urgently needed to stand down for mere safety reasons. The AAF set a reasonably high standard for B29 pilots, but the desired figures were seldom attained. The original cadre of the 58th Bomb Wing was to have 400

hours of multi-engine time, but there were not enough experienced pilots to meet the criterion. Only ten percent had overseas experience. Conversely, when a $2.1 billion B-2 crashed in 2008, the Air Force initiated a two-month "safety pause" rather than declare a "stand down," let alone grounding.
The B-29 was no better for maintenance. Though the R3350 was known as a complicated, troublesome powerplant, no more than half the mechanics had previous experience with the Duplex Cyclone. But they made it work. Navigators:
Perhaps the greatest unsung success story of AAF training was Navigators.
The Army graduated some 50,000 during the War. And many had never flown out of sight of land before leaving "Uncle Sugar" for a war zone. Yet the huge majority found their way across oceans and continents without getting lost or running out of fuel --- a stirring tribute to the AAF's educational establishments. Cadet To Colonel:
It was possible for a flying cadet at the time of Pearl Harbor to finish the war with eagles on his shoulders. That was the record of John D. Landers, a 21-yearold Texan, who was commissioned a second lieutenant on December 12, 1941. He joined his combat squadron with 209 hours total flight time, including two in P-40s. He finished the war as a full colonel, commanding an 8th Air Force Group --at age 24. As the training pipeline filled up, however those low figures became exceptions.
By early 1944, the average AAF fighter pilot entering combat had logged at least 450 hours, usually including 250 hours in training. At the same time, many captains and first lieutenants claimed over 600 hours. FACT:
At its height in mid-1944, the Army Air Forces had 2.6 million people and nearly 80,000 aircraft of all types. Today the US Air Force employs 327,000 active personnel (plus 170,000
civilians) with 5,500+ manned and perhaps 200 unmanned aircraft. Those figures represent about 12 percent of the manpower and 7 percent of the airplanes of the WWII peak. IN SUMMATION:
Whether there will ever be another war like that experienced in 1940-45 is doubtful, as fighters and bombers have given way to helicopters and remotely-controlled drones over Afghanistan and Iraq. But within living memory, men left the earth in 1,000-plane formations and fought major battles five miles high, leaving a legacy that remains timeless.

To the City Council, staff and constituents of Escondido, California, I look forward to serving you to the best of my ability with integrity, accuracy and independence.”
Beck said Tuesday he was “very excited” to come to Escondido. He plans to continue living in Oceanside with his wife for the time being but he said that could change. He said he is familiar with Escondido having served there as the youth pastor at Gateway Community Church.
“My wife and I love North County San Diego and feel very connected and committed to North County,” he said. One of the reasons he was attracted to the Escondido job was because it would let him stay in the region, he added.

A Capitol Christmas Tradition
Holiday celebrations began in the Capitol in 1869 when the building first opened. Past Governors decorated the Capitol with wreaths and their offices with trees, but in 1931 the tree was moved from the Governor’s office to the Rotunda and later to a spot near the Lt. Governor’s office, where it remained until 1984. Concerns about fire safety voiced by Joint Rules Committee Chair Louis Papan resulted in the tree being moved outside, where it has remained ever since, even though Assemblyman Papan got some flak about why he `decided to cancel Christmas.’ Despite a brief hiatus as a `Holiday Tree’ under former Governor Gray Davis, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who succeeded Davis, decided the tree was indeed a `Christmas Tree.’ Though the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington DC is well-known, many may not be aware that a similar ceremony continues to take place each December in Sacramento at our State Capitol. On December 6, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and First Lady Anne Gust Brown hosted the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

on the State Capitol’s West Steps. This year’s tree is a 65-foot white fir from the Latour Demonstration State Forest, located near Redding in Shasta County.
Seven-year-old Kiran Dong of Valencia, born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, helped light the tree, which is illuminated by 10,000 ultra-low LED lights and decorated with over 900 hand-crafted ornaments made by children and adults with developmental disabilities from the state’s developmental and regional centers. Ceremonies included performances by the California Army National Guard’s DET 1, 40th Infantry Division Band, Brass Quintet, along with students from the Oakland Military Institute and St. Paul’s Baptist Church Choir. And so our Capitol Christmas Tree remains a beacon of peace and joy in tumultuous times.

One fine day at an Oklahoma saloon, a cowboy ties his horse to the hitching rail and goes in to the bar. He orders a whisky and proceeds to drink it. Some time and several more drinks later, the cowboy leaves the saloon to find that his horse has been stolen. He calmly walks back into the saloon, draws his pistol and holds it pointed at the ceiling, and proclaims in a loud voice "Someone in this godforsaken place has stolen my horse. This happened to me once before, back in Texas." Lowering the pitch of his voice, but not losing any volume, he continued "And I DON'T wanna hafta do what I done back in Texas. I'm gonna have one more drink, and my horse better be back when I'm done." True to his word, the cowboy holsters his pistol and orders one more drink, and when he finishes it he leaves the saloon to find his horse tied to the rail. He checks his saddle bags and satisfied that nothing is missing, he proceeds to mount up. As he's preparing to ride away, one brave witness from inside the bar steps up and says "I gotta know - what did you do back in Texas when this happened before?" The cowboy shrugs and says "I hadda walk home." •••• I'm really depressed.

‘Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?’
During my 40-plus years in newspapers, television, public relations and advertising, I have the good fortune to encounter many famous people. Here’s is one such encounter I had waiting for PSA flight out of Lindbergh Field. Jack Carter, born June 24, 1922, was a comedian, actor and television personality. Brooklyn-born Carter had a long-running comedy act similar to fellow rapid-paced contemporary Milton Berle.
Trust me. Those on your Christmas gift list will go crazy for it. •••• A couple was invited to a swanky costume party.
The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early enough, decided to go to the party. Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.
She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he could, and copping a little touch here and a little kiss there. His wife sidled up to him and, being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe who had just arrived.

In the late 1960s, he was the host of a game-show pilot called Second Guessers. But, alas, that pilot did not sell. He also was a frequent panelist on the television game show Match Game during the 1973-1974 season and again during the early 1980s. In 1975, he appeared as a guest star on the quiz show $10,000 Pyramid with contestant Liz Hogan Schultz, and appeared as the ill-fated mayor in the cult horror film Alligator in 1980. Starting in the 1970s, Carter was on more than 10 Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts for some popular television stars and sports personalities.
HE SAID IT-- Dictatorial 20th Century Fox studio head Darryl F. Zanuck once declared he didn't want to vacation in the Rockies because the climate disagreed with him.
Unfortunately, the wife came down with a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone.
So he took his costume and away he went.
His only major Broadway appearance was opposite Sammy Davis, Jr. in the 1956 musical Mr. Wonderful. He earlier replaced Phil Silvers in the Broadway show Top Banana. He was a frequent guest on The Ed Sullivan Show during the 1960s and early 1970s, and was known for his impression of Ed Sullivan. He appeared as himself (along with his then-wife Paula Stewart) in the comedy series The Joey Bishop Show.
Carter died on June 28, 2015, at his home in Beverly Hills of respiratory failure

In 1984, I’m sitting in the Pacific Southwest Airlines waiting area to catch a flight from San Diego to Los Angeles when I realized a very familiar face was sitting alongside. He was frantically searching his pockets for something.
“Buddy, can ya spare a dime?” he asked me. It was famed stand-up comedian Jack Carter. Luckily I did have a dime. (That price of a phone call shows you how long ago it’s been). He took the coin over to a pay telephone and made a call. When he returned it was time for the flight to board. “C’mon kid, you’re my valet,” he quickly told me as he faked a “limp” toward the gate. He went up to the agent and informed her I was needed to help him board the plane. I went along with it. We were boarded along with the women and children and had our pick of seats. It was small talk over the next hour, but big in my memory. Carter hosted an early television variety program called “Cavalcade of Stars” on the old DuMont Network. He was lured to NBC to host his own program titled “The Jack Carter Show.” Carter will be remembered by us

One day Mr. Reagan and Mr. Gorbachev were meeting and Mr. Gorbachev asked Mr. Reagan if they could speak privately.
When no one was around Mr. Gorbachev whispered to Mr. Reagan that the Soviet Union was having a birth control problem and maybe Mr. Reagan could help. It seems there were not enough condoms in the USSR to go around and
too many babies were being born.
Mr. Reagan in all his wisdom assured Mr. Gorbachev that as soon as he got back to the White House, he would personally resolve the problem for him.
So a few days later Mr. Reagan called a meeting of all the condom manufacturers in the United States. He made his instructions very clear: He wanted 500 million dozen condoms delivered to Moscow. They were to be 24 inches long and each of them was to be stamped "Made in the United States" and each was to be marked "small". That my friend is what ended the cold war. Sports Quotes

Tina is a 7-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix looking for a home of her own. She can be a little bit shy and uncertain about new situations, but once she is comfortable, she has no problem sitting on your lap for some pets and brushes. Tina’s foster family says she is peaceful, well-behaved and sweet. She would be happiest in a home with lots of cozy places to relax, and she prefers a quiet home without children. Tina has a playful side too, and loves batting at long feathers. Will you make Tina a part of your family? Her adoption fee includes her spay, permanent microchip identification, current vaccinations, 30 days worry free insurance from Trupanion Insurance and a certificate for a free veterinary exam! Tina is available for adoption and currently living in a foster home. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (619) 299-7012.
to their wives, 'See, there's a fat guy doing okay. Bring me another beer.'" - Mickey Lolich, Detroit Tigers Pitcher
I grew up when almost everything was black and white. Newspapers, television, photographs, even a lot of movies. Today, my grandson photoshops my digital color photos back to black and white, because I still love a good black and white photo or painting.
With just the white canvas, black paint, deft strokes of the brushes and a lot of talent, an artist had painted an old, run down cabin, surrounded by grizzled old growth trees made menacing by the bareness of their branches. Winter exploded from the canvas. Even in a warm room, you could feel the cold, sense the dreariness of the scene. Its darkness streamed off the canvas and into the room.
The artist picked up a fresh, clean brush and dabbed it on his pallet with fresh paint. He carefully moved back to the canvas and applied one quick, short stroke in the lone window of the cabin. Suddenly, with a sweep of color, the cabin came alive. A moment ago it appeared abandoned. Now, a wisp of yellow in the window made the cabin inviting, warm, welcoming. There’s a Christmas story there. Do you see it? An old gospel song says, “The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin. The light of the world is Jesus.” It had been 400 years since the Old Testament Prophet predicted the Messiah would come. People became discouraged, disinterested. They lost hope. Now, as John wrote, The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” (John 1:5 New Living Translation) Jesus taught, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12 NIV).
That is Christmas. God’s brush stroke on the canvas of the world. To banish the darkness. To bring Light to the world and Life to its people.

San Marcos • Mayor Rebecca Jones Christmas tree and holiday recycling
Did you know that holiday trees cause about 200 fires annually that result in deaths, injuries and millions of dollars in property damage? EDCO customers can place their tree curbside on their regular collection day during the two weeks after Christmas, Dec. 26 through Jan. 7, at no extra charge. As the holidays wrap-up remember to keep the green in San Marcos. With family
get-togethers, parties, gift exchanges and holiday decorations, Americans produce approximately 25% more waste between Thanksgiving and New Years Day.
Keep the season less wasteful by using fewer disposable items and be diligent about disposing recyclable cans, bottles, gift-wrap, greeting cards and gift boxes in your blue recycling cart. For more information about tree and holiday recycling, call (760) 744-2700 or contact me at rjones@san-marcos.net.
Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter
Recycling Christmas Trees
During this time of many year, residents ask how they can dispose of their Christmas tree. EDCO customers may place Christmas trees curbside on their regular collection day beginning December 26 through January 12 at no extra charge. All trees must be cut to four feet or less in length when placed curbside. Trimmings, including tinsel and the stand must be removed. Organic decorations can also be placed in the residential designated yard
waste container, as well as any Christmas trees on and after January 13. Trees placed inside the yard waste containers must be cut to fit into the yard waste cart. Two central drop-off locations will be available December 26 through January 7: (1) public parking lot between S. Santa Fe Avenue and Mercantile Street (523 S. Santa Fe Avenue) and (2) the parking lot on S. Melrose & Shadowridge Drive. For more information, residents are encouraged to contact EDCO at 760.727.1600.

It was close to quitting time on Christmas Eve 2008. I was putting a PC in the car for a customer when “Cactus Jack” pulled up beside us in his red pick-up truck. He had a fivefoot rack of Texas longhorns mounted on the hood and his horn played “Dixie”. A Santa Claus suit was draped over a large box on the front passenger seat. “Hey Jack, I see you got yourself a Santa suit. You moonlighting at the mall?” I asked innocently.
Jack shot a stream of tobacco juice into our planter and unleashed a torrent of whiskey laced profanity. “I picked that thing up from the cleaners for my nephew. He puts it on and his brats are stupid enough to fall for it every Christmas. Makes me sick just thinking bout it.”

How are you? How is Mrs. Claus? I hope everyone, from the reindeer to the elves, is fine. I have been a very good boy this year. I would like an X-Box 360 with Call of Duty IV and an iPhone 4 for Christmas. I hope you remember that come Christmas Day. Merry Christmas, Timmy Jones **
Dear Timmy, Thank you for your letter. Mrs. Claus, the reindeer and the elves are all fine and thank you for asking about them. Santa is a little worried all the time you spend playing video
Nome can’t stand “Cactus Jack.” She buried her nose in a computer when he came in. Now she looked up and pointed to the computer. “This morning Mrs. Pintera brought this and the monitor in. They had a power surge and it fried everything. Her kids need the computer for homework. Mr. Pintera is out of work and down with the flu, their car broke down and they have no money. She put aside $100 for the kids Christmas presents but she said they really need a computer for school more than the Christmas presents. She asked me if I thought we could fix this one for $100. I told her I was sure we could” Cactus Jack squinted at Mrs. Pintera’s ancient PC. Jack is the owner of “The Rainbow Computer Emporium” located in the back country South of Temecula. Jack is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg and meaner than cat crap, but he knows computers. “You couldn’t make that junk into a computer for $500” he said. Jack looked at Nome and snickered “Sweetheart, you done bit off more’n you can chew this time.”
Jack looked at us and shook his head in disgust. “Where am I, Brother Beno’s? You folks are easier than a two-dollar hooker. If I fell for every phony sob story I’d be outa of business in a week. I’m gittin the heck outa here afore I bust out cryin.” Jack headed for the door.
Nome yelled after him, “Merry Christmas, Cactus Scrooge.” Cactus Jack stopped at the door. “While you saps are playing Mother Theresa, I’ll be curled up with a bottle of Jack Daniels in front of my new 27 inch Viewsonic monitor watchin the Dallas Cheerleaders Mud Rasslin special. Ho Ho Ho.”
We got to the Pintera’s around seven. A radiant, smiling Mrs. Pintera opened the door and invited us in. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree spread its branches over a pile of expensively wrapped gifts. Happy children scampered about the house. It sure looked like Cactus Jack was right, we got conned. Mrs. Pintera saw the look on my face
and blushed. “I don’t know how it happened or what’s going on but about an hour ago a Santa Claus with two other men just marched in with all this stuff. They set up the tree and brought in all those presents and then they left without saying a word.”
I put the computer on the floor. “I’ll get your monitor” “Oh we don’t need it now” she said, “They brought us a really nice 27-inch Viewsonic monitor.”
Mrs. Pintera’s four years old tugged at my pants leg “Santa brought it, we saw him. He had a white beard and everything,” he said seriously. His older brother added, “His beard was white but his mustache was yellow and he wore cowboy boots.”
I bent over and asked the little guy, “Did Santa have a sleigh and reindeer?” “No sir, he had a red pick-up truck, but it had antlers.”
Nome ignored Jack. “I have an idea” Nome said seriously, “We can give them one of our refurbs and tell her that all we did was put her parts in a used case. We’ll charge her $10 so she won’t think its charity.” Nome continued, “They live in that old green house on the left side of Mulberry so we could drop it off after we close tonight and save her the bus money.” “Sounds like a plan” I said “you call her and tell her we fixed it and can drop it off and, I’ll pick out a refurb.”

Mr. Claus,
Seeing that I have fulfilled the “naughty vs. Nice” contract, set by you I might add, I feel confident that you can see your way clear to granting me what I have asked for. I certainly wouldn’t want to turn this joyous season into one of litigation. Also, don’t you think that a jibe at my weight coming from an overweight man who goes out once a year is a bit trite?
