Not quite funny:
Zowie, its August already gain. Good old boring, dusty August where the main activity is waiting for beautiful September. Oh, I like and appreciate VJ Day in August, which is one of our country’s most special holidays not celebrated anymore. Weird. And we begin to see some exhibition NFL. And the Ocean is now nice and warm for swimming. But in large, Augusts just lays there an interim month waiting for September, except obviously for schoolkids who hope August hangs around forever.
Good news for somebody in Illinois who won $1.2 Billion in Mega Millions. The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody in congress is writing a law banning winners. Oh wait, they ae going after the wealthy I guess they already are.
Gabriel Faure wrote some beautiful melodies, the kind that if you want to be alone within yourself, will let you loll in calming solitude.
Several Polls are finding that Americans really don’t want a Biden-Trump Rematch. Like about 67 % say give us something better. The political morass is wearing down average Americans who aren’t political junkies. 50% of Dems say no more Joe and about 34%of Repubs say no Trump in ‘24. But the big number is from Independents (Who repubs really need on their side) where 70% say, not those two again, please. Let’s move on is the sentiment today. So, the worrisome outcome is that if Biden and Trump allow their egos to rise above public sentiment, there is a strong possibility of a third party emerging. And then all bets are off.
But why are we talking about a Prez now when all energy, at least from this singular point of view, is to get the Repubs back in power.

Former advisor to President Obama, Van Jones, said last week, “Joe Biden has done a good job if you eliminate the nutty stuff”. If that is the new standard for evaluating presidents, then you have to say Domald Trump did a great job if you eliminate the nutty stuff.
A priest, a rabbi, and a monk walk into a bar.
They all get a drink because bars in America are legally required to serve people of all religions.

The LIV golf experiment just seems like an extension of the “Trophies for all” mentality. What have we become?

One of the real problems with most liberal ideas is that they rely on the exclusion of reality that exists and will exist.
I’m thinking I don’t want to plug in my electric car standing in a flooded parking lot during a rainstorm.
Currently, generations seem to be redefining institutions and concepts and simple generally accepted terminology. Lately there was a bit of ado about what definition should be used to constitute a recession. One of eth classic redefinitions that has bothered me is the reorientation of what exactly is a beloved Martini. Obviously, a Martini is gin and white vermouth and olives. And in the past when this basic Martini was altered, say adding small onions instead of olives it was also renamed, in this case to a Gibson. But now a martini consists of anything thrown into clear alcohol which now, btw, is almost always vodka over gin. Except when somebody orders Bourbon martini.
I liked the world when things were what they meant, and life was simpler. Does that make me a Dinasaur or just a good old fashioned rational person. I wonder if they make “Old Fashions” with Vodka now?
The Answer:
Though everybody seems crazy about Mangos these days, an even more popular member of this family is the Cashew. Pistachios are also a part of their plant group as are Poison Oak, Poison Sumac, Poison Ivy and the Chinese Lacquer Tree and Mastic Tree (For varnishes and glues)
It was real nice to awaken to a gently falling rain this morning.
