A SIRENS' CALL (March 31/198)

SCAMMY SHAMMYS  In a brilliant move, one step up from the Nigerian prince needing money, I received a fascinating letter from a Solicitor's office in Ontario. In it I was the recipient of a ten-million-dollar bank account left by a Dr. Maria with no heirs - hoo hoo. Well, I had to give 10% to charity but I am perfectly fine with what's left. Being the curious type I looked up the attorney and there is actually a law firm of that name and partner of the right name.  Again, I am impressed with the scammer's attention to detail.  So of course, I wrote the attorney and sent him a scan of the letter for their amusement or concern as I put it. He, of course, was happy to pursue fraud proceedings against the letter writer.  I had also apologized for the orange clown and extolled the virtues of his beautiful country confessing to relatives from his area of Canada. He turned out to be a fan of Red Wings, Lions and Tigers (as a border town dweller) and assured me this too shall pass. Thank goodness for the ever-optimistic Canadians.

PLAYING AT WAR Who knew grown men/women would revert to cutsie emojis while they're, supposedly, raining down hell on the bad guys. Serious plans hatched in Signal chat like a bunch of Valley Girls setting up a shopping adventure on Rodeo Drive. The head of the CIA, National Security, National Intelligence (oxymoron), Defense, State, Counter-Terrorism and the White House (among others) must have fired everyone who could have instructed them on how to play Stratego or Sink My Battleship -take your pick - without totally exposing their proverbial backsides to the "other side".  Incompetence, arrogance, unexpected and inappropriate humor prevail while our soldiers are being compromised or killed. Big fun. 

Showing the merit-based competence that got them their jobs we can imagine "Do I need to save these coordinates on my phone?" asks the clueless head of Intelligence (Gabby) who probably just passes everything on anyway. "Boom-Boom" chuckles Mr Natl Security (Walz) while Defense's blue boy (Hogshead) arranges the after party or did that happen before the boom-boom? Ratcliffe (CIA) just whines "we are so misunderstood. We were just chatting about the weather". Meanwhile the only one with integrity and who practiced discretion is the journalist who was accidently put on the circle jerk.  At least until they started to malign his integrity. Surprise! He just happens to be editor-in-chief of a prestigious multi-platform magazine and possesses a brain. Again, intelligence fail!  I feel so much safer now. 

IT'S ABOUT LIFE STUPID After feeding his adoring slack-jawed adherents that vaccines cause issues, like life, Rkay, not a doctor or immunologist, promoted mass doses of Vitamin A for nervous parents. Leading to several cases of liver failure because Vi- A in large doses is a direct toxin!! Kind of makes you long for the old Fauci days, an actual doctor-scientist-immunologist, when we bitched about all the washing, 6-foot rule, masks and vaccines but we lived. Sad, I know.  

But pretty much that's the future when you lay off thousands of people who actually do know what they're talking about and close down all research and prep on the next epidemic or disease. I know if I was a germ I would definitely be taking note. When I was researching the aids/hepatitis program for police and fire I could actually pick up the phone and reach someone at the CDC for advice. You know not go on my opinion, or worse, the employees who wanted no muss, no fuss. Well, you have your wish and again my catch phrase. I feel so much safer.

SPRING BREAK Took the boy to the lake for a couple of days as he had the week off. Bowled a couple of times and a quick visit to the Air Zoo in Portage to replace his beloved WWII flight jacket. Kids insist on growing. Cold but sunny which was Joe's point when I caught him out on the dock fishing pole in hand -no coat and no shoes. I insisted on shoes but have given up on coats. Update -- the song JP sang at the talent show was "In the End" by Linkin Park. He said he couldn't sing like Bennington and I tried to explain that every artist has their own style. You might sing the same song, but it is your own rendition. Upshot is he signed up for both choir and acting for his "enhancement" classes this next term. Hmmm.

Ever curious what a frozen Coke can looks after it blows? Outside of coating the entire fridge from its resting place in a drawer it becomes a work of art.  See Pic. Ok Michigan State-give us a heart attack one more time tonight!  Peace out.....💚💚💚  💙💛

                                                                 



P.S. Money saving tip of the week. How much did the government save by just parking 20 truckloads of food costing one million dollars when marmie cancelled the food bank program in Cleveland.  Cruelty is the point.
