Item One 

Saint Rocco is the Patron Saint of pestilence, infectious, contagious, and seemingly communicable or contracted diseases without cure.

This canvas depicting the similarity or likeness in representation of Saint Rocco in stature was a pleasantly surprising find when out on a jaunt one day. I performed the canvas rub texture test, then the internal this is quality and cool assessment. There is no doubt this find was a gift and is about twenty-five years old or more. 

Saint Rocco was born of a wealthy family at about 1340 A.D. his family was located in Montpellier, France. having contracted the plague he was banished and sought refuge in a cave. 

The significance of the dog seen here beside Saint Rocco is for the documentation of history. Historical accounts mention the way Saint Rocco was able to survive in the cave through his banishment was by the dog who appeared to bring him food for sustenance.

The open would depicted is a wound suffered by Saint Rocco as contracted from the plague, of which he himself, as one who had contracted also did suffer. Saint Rocco was cured of the plaque after dwelling with a nobleman who took him inside of his house.

Saint Rocco continued to minister to and among the afflicted. He is said to have been instrumental as a vessel in the enabling of others to combat, fight, and become immune to contagious, infectious, and seemingly communicable non-curable diseases.

Item Two

This Norman Rockwell find was located next to Saint Rocco and the same tests were performed and the quality is awesome. This is easily over twenty-five years old as a guesstimate as is at least Saint Rocco for where I procured it and is a rational conclusion.

I do not know the name of this art piece, some say "House of Cards". I always reply informing them I try to make it a point not to bet, lie, cheat, steal, or manipulate by deception or appearances. I am also not liberal with my signature and set stop losses when investing, gambling, and sometimes in interactions and communication. Oddities like that often spew as oration from me as if possessed and moved by truth in the spirit. 

Item Three

This Norman Rockwell was also a wonderful find, subjected to the normal rigorous testings for quality assurance. This is also old and well maintained. The name of this Norman Rockwell masterpiece and artwork also escapes me.

Public service announcement, all of us personalities all get a long better without wi-fi router access and capabilities at this location. Cocoa, juice, bagels, and doughnuts are worth the trip, not to mention the library wi-fi is free. 

Item Four

This Santa Christina woven canvas was found when out and about and is a nice compliment on the wall adding to the ambiance of the room, subjected to the normal quality tests for functionality and servicing it performs brilliantly. The age of this woven canvas I would venture to say is also well loved and cared for.

Santa Christina Toscana is a combination and blending of a few different types of wine and varieties of grapes. Santa Chirstina Toscana is the creation of Marquis Niccolo Antinori and was born or was brought to fruition in 1946. Santa Christina Toscana is a blend of the grapes grown as a naturally occurring phenomenon under the sun and clouds of the climate of Tuscany. The flavor left upon the pallet is one of a supple, flavorful, and fruity finish. 

The family of Marquis Niccolo Antinori have been cultivating vineyards and flavoring wines to please the pallet for over sixty years

Item Five

This woven canvas of Mountain Home Fire and Rescue with names of firefighters and personnel was also a wonderful find for artwork and historical memorabilia. This also is pleasing to the eye as mounted on the wall.

Mountain House Fire and Rescue has many locations. Upon researching Mountain Home Fire and Rescue's mission and goal I found it is, "Our mission is to be a leading emergency service organization by: meeting the needs of our community in fire prevention, fire suppression, and rescue. Utilizing and improving the dedication and skills of our people. Constantly improving all of our services and operations."

Mountain Home Fire an Rescue was established in 1965 to service all communities with the necessary resources, knowledge, and qualified personnel to professionally service all communities, provide and foster education and training to professionals and the non-professional, and respond safely and expeditiously to locations of emergencies requiring any assistance.

This appears to be Mountain Home Fire and Rescue's mission as implemented regardless of immediate urgency or danger. Given repeat community positions of "there has to be smoke, we can't find it, but there might be fire here situations and scenario" be it catastrophically detrimental, in need of a pan cover, or just plain baking soda.

He has no intentions of trying to relive his high school years as a cry for help as if in a pre-midlife crisis with the same maturity of his adolescence and inexperience.

The seabag from my military service in the United States Marine Corps and as a civilian elsewhere as a travel tote has served me well and continues to do so for the picture rippers. The camera bag tote happens to be what was holding the camera in use, Thomas Collins Jr. also enjoys decorating with vintage items, oldie but goodies,  or antiques.

Photo taken in the middle 1990's in a place I can not exactly remember.

Thomas Collins Jr., April 2014, annoyed selfie with the timer. 

This is a Silent Video, sarcastic, obnoxious, and dry comedy. I think this was a project only performed to demonstrate the annoyance of the task frequently seen as an endless life happening to some and how one man is trying to make light of it. All the best for a prosperous day and beautiful future. This basic SILENT FILM is somewhat demonstrating the basics of how to perform the very basic men's haircut from the sarcastic or obnoxious perspective of a task simply experienced as lively event or relegated to a fact of life. This may be a prelude to a future project. This is kind of long video and this is ONLY posted for healthy entertainment purposes only. < and a little snip, pin, curl never really hurt anyone either >

People from all walks of life suffer from Information Failure! Too much or too little delivers a cause, effect, and repercussion.

Regardless of consumer or professional prowess there is always room to improve the way humans communicate. This will not make your breakfast and take you to work. However themes never expire when trying to win friends and accompany people to a better position of leverage when trying to achieve an excellent quality of life.

Mental intuition, body language distortion, and misinterpreted meanderings of vocabulary traditionally inspire, deflate, or numb the psyche. This video may just do that too.

Thomas Collins Jr. wishes you the best of health, happiness, prosperity, peace, and success.
