For having faith in those you do not know:
While
a hot, sunny, hazy summer day will at times make it hard
to breathe, a crisp, breezy Fall day will take your breath away!
Have
you ever noticed how Hollywood-ites will always boast about the
powerful impact of their films, that theirs is the ultimate word on social
issues of the day, but have steadfastly refused to admit that the depravity in
many of their films has any affect on children?
There’s
no present like the thyme, said the cook.
I
started on a “5 Hour Energy” drink regimen but found
it was interfering with my naps.
Every
morning, Northeast and Western coastal Repubs should say a
little prayer for all of the Republicans in the central part of the nation:
Dear God,
Shed your light on Nebraska, Ohio, Wisconsin
Help our brethren remain strong, steadfast,
To resist all of those biased, media blasts.
For without them, reasonable thinking cannot win.
Yes God, shed upon them your rational light
To help them resist temptation, to wage the fight.
We on the coasts endure through oppression
By our faith in those to preserve succession.
Amen.

One
of the eternal enigmas roving around my mind is why our
intrepid journalists are not even mildly suspicious of a highly organized
immigrant march against our legal boarders planned to culminate a week before
election. Talk about election interference. Maybe it’s a Russian trick. Or,
could it be US progressives who like the chaos that furthers divides.
I
always reply to “Out of Office” automatic replies.
A
guy told me of a unique family honoring of his
brother, who had just died at a young age. Apparently, this particular
well-liked brother was somewhat of a rascal, who among other things was very
adept at scalping tickets at major sports events. So, as a tribute, 53 of the
aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings snuck into a recent major league playoff
game in his honor. My friend bought a ticket. How did they do that?
One
current, ongoing Rhode Island story that lately makes us
laugh is the case of the stubborn Turkey of Johnston RI. About two months ago,
3 or 4 turkeys began gathering in front of the door to City Hall. They
resolutely protected their space much to the concern of employees reporting for
work. The Mayor became incensed after several ineffective shooing sessions, and
called in the Towns animal control experts. They managed to catch three. But,
one got away. It has become a real Road Runner story with the now extremely frustrated
Mayor ordering many unique potential deterrents from the “Acme Manufacturing Company”.
Last week Mayor and company thought they finally would tame the troublesome turkey.
He called in an expert with a “Netgun” (No not Spiderman), who was surely going
to catch the bird. The turkey came across the parking lot and the Mayor, the shooter
and assorted intrepid city workers stood tall awaiting the final capture. The
turkey took two steps forward. The shooter did the same. The Mayor clinched his
fists; a small grin of triumph snaked across his face. The expert raised his
Netgun, an pulled the trigger. Silence. It misfired. The Turkey turned and walked
away. The citizens of Rhode Island laughed for another day.
One
of the greatest things the President could do for the USA
is to remain silent and rise above the cacophony.
When
Oxygen and Potassium mix it’s not OK.
Let’s
face it, generations throughout history have always been jealous
of those whose new ideas would encroach upon their own cherished eras. I never
thought much of the overwhelming presence of the Boomers. Now, every day we
read about boomer’s anger against the precocious Millennials. Actually, that is
odd as the Boomers seem to have dismissed an entire generation, the “X’ers”,
who immediately followed them. I guess the X Generation is just a quiet,
pleasant group who never threatened the Boomer rush to political correctness…
and other annoying intrusions into my simple life of the past.
I
would bet that over-promoted fancy tequila brands in
the not so distant future will overtake all of the fancy, designer vodkas so
over promoted by predecessor generations. What ever happened to 7&7?
Speaking
of taking over popular brands, I tried a nicely designed promotional package of
two Harry’s razors. One was pretty good, but the second, not so great. I’ll
revert back to My Mach 3 Gillette plastic throwaways, which are really quite
excellent.
Our
Governor race is a match between a highly educated,
formerly wall Street woman, and a Chinese Mayor of a large city who grew up
working in his parent’s Chinese restaurant. I’m thinking that if he is elected
he would send his budget to the legislature in the form of a Chinese menu –
take one from Column A and two from Column B. It would have to be better than the
way we are doing things now…you know, freedom of choice promoting harmony.
As
I read political comments about the increase in women candidates,
it is becoming apparent that Women’s group leaders and their allies in the
Press don’t consider females of the Republican persuasion, women.
That
KC Offense with Mahomes is explosive…and fun to watch.
The
Answer:
11,11,11 was when the World War I ended. And, that
is why even our progressive government employee unions have been unable to
change the date if Veterans Day – November 11. It’s sacred.
I
imagine I go off the deep end from time to time. But, I
get it out here instead of throwing bricks at my TV. I can’t afford a new TV
every week. But, that’s way it is going as I watch the president say something
inane, suffer through unbalanced reporting. So hopefully I offer some opinions
that make more sense than not.
“An
honest man armed with the knowledge available to us now, could
only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be
almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been
satisfied to get it going.” Francis Crick
from his, “Life itself: Its origin and nature.”
Love
the week ahead.
