For Good Pairings:
Something’s
just go together perfectly. A flaky crusted chicken pie (with
no vegetables), just pure unadulterated chicken absorbing the flavors of wonderful
creamy yellow gravy is the prefect counterbalance to a gale force winds and
rapidly declining temperatures. Sublime comfort versus howling bitter cold, a
perfect fit. Seems like people could get along better too, if they wanted to.
There
is nothing better after a giant snow storm than snow
blindness the next morning. Waking to that amazing glittering lily pure
landscape, with lazy city streets now just ruts through mounds of white. It
gets the heart thumping in all the right directions. Just one breath cleanses body
of all the bad boy treats ingested for a week or so. It is a wonderful world if
you don’t sit around and mope about what God sends our way.
Just
when you thought that all of the news was negative,
George Clooney announces he and wife are having a baby. How great is that! The USA unites again. 120 million voted, but
250 million will follow the 9 months of pregnancy. Meanwhile, Kardashian will
look for a new scheme to retake the publicity spotlight; and tweeters will
tweet, and Snapchatters will snap – and we will all be at peace again.
Halleluiah! Thank you George.
Talk
around the White House is that Trump Is regretting some
of his earlier irrational exuberance. Now if he would, just stop tweeting and
talking in public…
The
Question:
Here’s a little game for you all: See if you can
come up with a second line for these punny sounding one liners. 1. How does Moses
make tea? 2. A cartoonist was found dead in his home. 3. I know a guy who is addicted to brake
fluid… 4. England has no Kidney bank,
but… 5. I changed my IPod’s name to Titanic.

Contemporary
or modern architecture will eventually always show its age,
but architecture true to classic historic designs just seems to last forever.
National
Accounting Day, Department:
Isn’t it interesting how Nordstrom and several other
giant department store chains decided that last weekend was the perfect time to
look at their sales and profit records.
Duh
Headline of the Week:
9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco nixes
Moratorium Immigration.
The
general consensus among constitution watchers is that the
Supreme Court, liberals side and all, would overturn the 9th Circuit Court decision
as pure political gambit. Empty anti-moratorium rhetoric like “Against
immigrants ‘Constitutional rights’ is plain and simple a false argument. But
then, you know the 9th Circuit Court.
Help
me society. The Tids used to be fun.
Who
has the best Killers on their side – that is the
question. The left is accusing Trump of being friendly with “mass murderer”
Putin. For their effort, the US left has been rewarded by picking up killers of
their own, the Russia ally country of Iran who said last night we are with you
US left. It’s a Topsy-Turvy world.
See,
as I said in the beginning, some things just go together.
I
wonder if the ole’ groundhog has room for me in his cozy
den. I need to get away from the madness.
A
local upscale community has decided that they won’t
publish in the local paper the names of honor roll students in their Middle
School. In a statement they say, “from elementary school to middle school ‘All
of a sudden’ have to start worrying about grades. “All of a sudden”? Maybe if they
thought about achieving early they wouldn’t notice any change, be surprised by
the prospects of accountability. Way before attending middle school, parents
have sent these kids to sports camps, computer camps, music camps and you name
it camps…just to get an edge on their playmates. The world has lost its mind.
Wait till Betsy visits the school!
RI
is always ripe for great conspiracy theories, mainly because
so much unimaginable stuff has actually occurred in the past. The state AG just
closed the Big 38 Studio’ case, saying the State police have stopped
investigating, the day after the new State Police head was sworn in. Were her relatives
making money on the side because of the original legislative action. Or is the
AG, who was one of the Legislators at the time voting for the somewhat
surreptitious approval of funds, trying to flush it all away before he runs for
Governor. Everybody in RI is connected somewhere, so the possibilities for a
creative story are always endless; the conspiracy theories just seem to drift
up. But, that’s just living in RI.
If
you have been reading this mess every day, the you know
that I am 100% against the chaos resulting from a policy that condones illegal
immigration. Illegal is illegal, as in law breaking, as in infecting an orderly
society. But, I am skeptical about this massive wall thing. Have been since the
beginning of the debate.
Anti
Trumpism is getting silly. According to the Boston Globe,
several big annual donors to the world renown Dana Farber Cancer charity are
declining the next big fund raiser, which they have always attended, became it is
being held at Mara largo, as it has for years! How nutty is that – not helping
cancer because of blind hate.
I’m
still open to talking about the Super Bowl game at any given
moment just so long as it isn’t infected with politics.
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 76.
I’ve been
through this before,” smiled Nancy after they jumped into the car. They felt
safe, at least Alex did. Nancy knew that these people whoever they are, never
give up. And the monster is no dummy when it comes to tracking her down.
Nancy started
her car, backed it up and turned around to head back out. But, before hitting
the main road, she turned right sharply trough a cut in the tall hedges onto a dirt
road. Nancy knew just about everything there was to know about the lands of
Sakonnet and Little Cromwell on the coast. At some time, one of her two main
families probably owned it all.
She drove
the car about a half mile until it narrowed and wound into a wooded area, well off he beaten path.
We will spend the night here,” she beam. “Did you bring a candy bar?” She smiled
again and he laughed.
Alex was beginning
to like his new partner in survival. “So, what do we do? Dance, sing?” He looked
at her expecting to keep the clever repartee going, but she was not smiling any
longer.
“No, we
continue with your story. But first, I just thought of something where you may
be helpful.” Nancy took out her phone, scrolled around the screen and then
pressed an icon, “A voice came on, “Hello who is this”, the same voice she
heard on her phone after the murder of the AG McGuire.”
Alex’s head turned
quickly, his eyes staring at the phone. “I know that voice.”
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--John Wick: Chapter 2 is one great thrilling,
non-stop fun movie. Hitman Wick played by Keanu Reeves is forced out of
retirement by an associate to help him gain control of an International assassins guild! Say what? I
think you get the picture. Everybody likes this one.
--In the well done United Kingdom, a white English
woman falls in love with the King of Botswana and they marry. Besides the parents,
also against this mixed marriage in 1947 is the British and South African
governments who find the notion of a biracially led neighboring country abhorrent
in the face of apartheid. Big international incident film.
-- The Lego Batman movie may be the best of the Batman
movies. Fun for all.
--Ok, the sex scenes in the sequel Fifty Shades Darkener
are so outrageous that people think the movie is a comedy. But it appears that
a lot of people like stupid comedies because they are going and rating it well
despite ugly critical reviews. From a movie point of view, terrible. The audience
is truly punished in this one.
The
Answer:
How does Moses make tea? Hebrews it. 2. A cartoonist
was found dead in his home. The details are sketchy. 3. I know a guy who is
addicted to brake fluid, but he says he can stop anytime. 4. England has no Kidney bank, but it has a Liverpool.
5. I changed my IPod’s name to Titanic. It’s syncing now.
A
nice juicy slab of prime rib with a pop-over would go very
nicely with this robust Winter’s day.
If
I were you over this pleasant February weekend, I’d just stay away from listening
to the radio, reading newspapers or watching TV and just enjoy ten scenery
around you. It doesn’t talk back, and has no commercials!
Have
a great weekend E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
