Sarcasm lives:
Music takes away the pain,
And yes, worry and disdain.
So, when I'm feelin’ blue
I always play a soft refrain.
When old time preachers spoke of taking us to the land of Milk and Honer t obvious they probably weren’t worried about Lactose Intolerance and Diabetes.
I’m thinking that Hell is like shopping.
How about a little romance today: Today is National Moon Day, as in “By the Silvery...” and rhyming with spoon!
Uh Oh – Scott Bessent says, “that the entire Federal Reserve needed to be examined as an Institution and whether it has been successful. That ls one way for Trump to get rid of his latest perceived nemesis, abolish his function in life. “Whether it has been successful”. The question is who is setting the standards to which success will be measured.
The Question:

If you are a fresh corn buyer around here, you should know the designations. Local Corn is grown in New England; Native Corn is grown in Rhode Island. All other corn is foreign and stooped at the birder by ICE – Illegal Corn Exterminators. Yet we know that a large volume of Local corn is grown within inches of the RI border in Conn. So, it is kinda, sorta native corn. Of course, the key is, when was it picked.
Trump has just got to stop telling businesspeople how to run their businesses. The government is not the guiding light in a free enterprise society. Though, it does play like a soap opera.
Today is also, “National Get out of the Doghouse Day” Yikes! Maybe a stroll under the slivery moon would do it,

Scottie Scheffler will be tough to beat for at least the next ten years. He has the gift of inner peace and control which is so valuable to winning golf. I have the burden of constant mayhem and distraction in my golf mind.

One day shortly thereafter while sitting there reading his generous Kingdom of Heaven Condo docs there is aa knock on the door. “Are you Mr. Lazarous?” “Why yes, I am.” he answers. Well sir, you are being called back to the desert. No, Lazarous, he didn’t say dessert.
Remember old western movie yarns about settlers feuding over water rights. How big could the feud become if China's damn blocks water from flowing into India and Bangladesh? Wait a minute, Trump may do that to Mexicoand Canada,
The Answer:
Other than Platoon, we have Amelle, Lorenzo’s Oil, The Elephant Man, El Norte, Sicko and Kevi and Perry Go Large, Note: While AfS was not used in Harry B Potter, Baber’s tune was the inspiration for the main themes used throughout the Harry film.
