"I don't approve of political jokes--we've seen too many get elected" (ta rump bop)
POLITICALLY SPEAKING Which is how I preface having breakfast with ex-Governor Snyder last week. He didn't know I was coming; I didn't know he was coming but we were connected by a booth seatback, so I think that counts. Talking politics of course. Well, he was, I was just straining to listen in to him and his buddy. Caught the words of being an example which really leads to some fun speculation. Good or bad example? Dumpf or ,la? Weird Vance or Tampon Tim? (for reference, I have had feminine products around the male gender all my life and none of them died). The active gun range and wannabe terror camp near the lake or just life in general?
Speaking of felines and supporters; this election is about cats and their rights to exist as substitute children. Their inability to provide their "parents" with extra privileges is just the tip of the whisker. However, their ability to slide into tight spots like boxes and cupboards do make them excellent spies. The intelligence garnered may or may not be provided to their owners depending on their moods, because, well they're cats. Basically, teenagers for life.
APROPOS Been trying to figure out the best shopping days when there are actually lanes open and less people to play grocery cart bumper tag. Apparently, Tuesday is not the day, though how so many people have the day off in the middle of the week I have no idea. But they were armed with children and full carts of unhealthy processed items-so much for all the whining about "the economy". And although I have made my share of snide remarks about how I should pay less for the groceries as I check out and bag them myself, I am getting rather good at it. I have even mastered 2 for 1, coupons and cash sales. Not having to send up the little red neon "smoke signal" when I screw it up is the grocery award of honor. I saw one lady signal at least three times. She should be banned from the self- serving world unless it was a distraction to smuggle a watermelon out under her shirt.
You know, to get serious for a moment. We have the technology and resources in this world to feed and house everyone on earth yet we find it, apparently, more moral to build character through struggle. Meanwhile, the middle class carries the burden for both the rich and the poor, though we chastise the poor for being that way rather than demanding the wealthy pay their fair share. During the Eisenhower years, the wealthy were taxed at a 90% rate and the economy kept booming. It is now 35% as corporate backed politicians repeatedly slash taxes. And they want to blame the "other side" for ruining the economy? Too bad we don't teach history anymore.
FLASHERS A whole new meaning to lightening round occurred last week for the OH. After finishing 10 holes with a threatening dark sky, the thunder started rolling. Retreat sometimes being the better part of valor, they hit the gas for the clubhouse. Which is relative as those little carts do not have a tremendous number of rpms. Except when the 12-year-olds in our lake neighborhood zip around in obviously souped-up versions. As they trundled towards the cart shed a tremendous flash made a close encounter of the nasty kind almost on top of the cart. I asked which one voided first? Apparently neither.
After a short respite in the clubhouse with proverbial buckets coming down, they made the next dash to the truck on foot. The OH figured he was already soaked so why run. Still outside while his screaming (internally) friend was already ensconced in the truck the second flash hit the ground trying to finish the job. He should have bought lottery tickets.
Now I must break for the Closing Ceremony-Thank you world for the sports, love and togetherness if only for a moment.
AND FINALLY "The word politics comes from poly, meaning many, and ticks, meaning bloodsucking parasites" Peace Out.....💚 💙💛
