Rex Tillerson's Comments to VMI class on Wednesday

"If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom." Rex Tillerson, speaking to Virginia Military Institute graduating class on Wed., May... Sign in to see full entry.

NOT-SO-"QUIET TOWN"…

All kinds of improvements coming to Quiet Town, but for the past couple of weeks it’s felt more like a disturbance in the force.

"1200 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE" THE REALITY SHOW

Looks to me like the current show in the White House is being staged by the same "genius" thinkers that bring us real housewives catfights and other time- waster 'reality' programming with no redeeming social values. One difference is, its "sponsors" funnel their money directly to the 'talent' by... Sign in to see full entry.

THE LAWN MAFIA...

Funny the stuff you find in folders as you sort and pitch, things filed for safe keeping years ago and found now. I’m asking myself the question we sisters asked each other after mother moved to assisted living. What the heck was she thinking? Why’d she keep THAT? “THAT” in this case is an ad flyer...

My Favorite Things

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, … " Woke up from a dream in which a friend had given me a ride to some waterfront area, and we stopped at a pre-dawn coffee shop/bakery on the way when I realized I’d left my purse in the car. Ran back to the car, to find it wasn’t there either and so I... Sign in to see full entry.

TALKING TO MYSELF

What to write about? No idea. Something weird? What are you thinking? How about that story on this morning’s news about the turkey that flew across the road and crashed into lady’s windshield? Left the poor woman a bloody mess, turkey feathers all over the inside of the car, not to mention the... Sign in to see full entry.

COME-UPPANCE - (warning, adult subject matter)

I don’t like bullies, never did. Had some experience with being the target of violent bullying at more than one phase in my life. When I was 12 Mom bugged out of our home town where we had kith and kin to take refuge in a remote location at the ass-end of the world. My sibs and I ended up running... Sign in to see full entry.

OLD SONG THAT CAME TO MIND

"Let me call you sweetheart, I'm in love with you. Let me hear you whisper that you love me too. Keep that love light glowing in your eyes so true. Let me call you sweetheart, I'm in love with you." I believe this is from the 1920s, it was a pop song on the radio in mom's kitchen. It was sung by a... Sign in to see full entry.

THREE-POINT DADS

Some men make better dads than others. While I was working at a post-retirement job at Seattle Central College (1994-2003) I got to know all the faculty in the Humanities/Social Sciences division. I was an office assistant. My job was to order textbooks for the faculty, keep track of applicant... Sign in to see full entry.
