Moving too fast:

There are two kinds of people in this world. People who are considerate of others and don’t talk on phones in public. People who talk on their phones oblivious to the possibility that there maybe somebody else in the room, train, or retail mall.

Wow, the Boy Scouts of America are in bankruptcy. What’s next? We’re are losing our institutions, and along the way with it we seem to have moved towards the edge of national moral bankruptcy. It’s harder and harder to find a good ole Norman Rockwell scene any more.

Speaking of losing our institutions, last night vandals with a misguided cause spray painted Plymouth Rock. Is this somebody’s idea of an America’s future by getting rid of its past?

Daffodils in February? Yes, we got em’; a good month and a half early, and they are a good four inches out of the ground. And it doesn’t feel pretty. What’s next Corn on the Cob in May?

The Question:

Irresponsibility comes in all shapes and sizes, from prominence and obscurity. Some of the most outrageous are anything-for-ratings Sports talk show hosts. Just yesterday, for instance, I heard a guy talking about the possibility in the wake of the sign stealing fiasco of MLB pitchers throwing at Houston Astro batters. He then goes maniacal, screaming that he would love to see that, it would be good for the game. He was all for it. 100 MPH fast balls to the head is not good for the game. The idiots are ruling the earth.

I have to stop a moment for Ryan Newman, the Nascar driver badly injured in a spectacular finish line crash at Daytona yesterday. One second you are smiling at Newman’s skill in moving into 1^st place yards from the finish, and in the next millisecond you are seeing his car crashing into a wall, being crushed by another car and then flipping over in air several times before landing on the roof, supposedly collapsing the safety cage. And now he is in a hospital. And hearts of all are heavy. Tough guy, Good guy, and now all he needs are prayers.

Housing costs are basically out of sight for many –at least around here. But, some good places to live are not yet Berserk. Among good, growing big city places to live affordably are Spokane, Las Vegas, Charlotte and Orlando. I don’t think I’m a LV kind of guy. regardless of bargains.  

Bill Barr for President.

The American English language is crazy -- People play at a recital and recite at a play.

Mike Bloomberg will be on the stage for the debate in Nevada. The dem candidates say they can hardly wait to get him on his past observations. Now I have to figure that Bloomberg is a pretty smart guy, and had to have known of his past observation that have become unacceptable over time. And maybe he is comfortable standing up to the attacks to come, because has more of a future to offer that overcomes a past. Or maybe he is just arrogant enough to think that his words don’t matter as much as others.

BTW, some Dems are saying after hearing some of Joe Biden’s current utterances, that they wish he go back to plagiarizing others.

Did you hear about the guy who was sick of hearing others pointless stories, so he took an anecdote?

Elon Musk is upset that Bill Gates bought an electric Porsche. Ah, billionaire squabbles. Don’t you love em.

Mike Bloomberg is learning the pollical ropes quickly. His new plan on business ad Wall Street regulations has gone far left, as he tries to get in bed with Bernie-ites. Remember how adept Bill Clinton was at going towards the middle. The Repubs cried foul. But it doesn’t matter when the media is on your side. Now former Repub, Indie and Dem is loving the left and the media is loving him. Will he be Teflon or Biden.

Did you hear about the guy who ate 4 bowls of delicious alphabet soup, followed almost immediately with a vowel movement?

The Answer:

Coach would yell, “Hey, give me my quarter back”. Bonus: Of course, the music was due to paper jamming. Extra Bonus: What else, “Winnie the pooh”!

Yeah, I know, it was pretty bad.

I think they have school breaks in February to help get residents in coastal towns inure themselves in advance of full tourist season. Don’t get comfortable!

Did you hear about the guy who went to the doctor because of a strawberry growing out of his chest? The Doc looked at it and said, “Here’s some crema for it.”

I have to find a more responsible joke writer.
