We dodged that one... but there's more

We have a 2-week reprieve from his threat of utter destruction. Time enough for the congress to put a stop to his unbridled, lawlessness. But where are they? Why, as the saying goes, they're fiddling while Rome burns. Doing nothing, saying less than nothing, while his billion-dollar tantrums cut the... Sign in to see full entry.

Freedom? Liberty?

I don't know about you, but I've had all I can stomach of Make America Groan Again. Trump's threat to murder civilians, including little children, by bombing a nation's power grid, bridges and residential areas, is the opposite of what America has stood for during its 250-year history. He is not a... Sign in to see full entry.

SISTER LELA - REVERSE MISSIONARY

I believe my disgust with sanctimonious finger-pointers began with Sister Lela of the community church in Salkum when I was in 7 th grade. We were new in town, and had been invited to attend. They had a bus to pick up kids for Sunday School, so the three of us kids started attending. I paid... Sign in to see full entry.

Donut Dollies

Said hello to a Navy veteran in Walmart this morning, shared with him that my father was in the Navy in WWII, a gunner's mate on the USS Saratoga. He knew it was an aircraft carrier. The original Sara was one of the first ships to be equipped with radar. The vet told me he'd served for 20 years... Sign in to see full entry.

About the weather... (lyrics from long ago)

"It ain't gonna rain no more, no more. It ain't gonna rain no more. How in the heck can I wash my neck If it ain't gonna rain no more?" 😁 Sign in to see full entry.

Song Lyrics -- "Tulips and Heather"

From 1952, sung by Perry Como: A spray of tulips and heather Tied up together I sent my love today A spray of tulips and heather Asking her whether Love's dream had gone astray For there's a meaning to all the flowers They tell a story that never lies This purple heather means lonely hours And...

The Bachelorette

The news channels showed video a few days ago of a domestic violence incident involving the chosen bachelorette for the fall season of that TV show. She'd been involved in a violent confrontation with her boyfriend (?) two or three years ago, and if memory serves, had faced charges. In promotional... Sign in to see full entry.

Gas Price$

I was concerned a week ago when gasoline prices had risen about 40 cents a gallon. Then, Trump's posts about the war began to focus on the Strait of Hormuz. He demanded the USA's Nato allies and others should jump right in and help out. He was unhappily surprised when they informed him this was not... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally, a break from winter weather.

Right now, it's 64 degrees and sunny, feels even warmer out there. The After Schoolers are on the playground across the street, swinging, chasing, tossing a ball around - and not a one of 'em has on a hat, coat or sweater. It's just the day that would have been perfect for all the St. Paddy's Day... Sign in to see full entry.
