I can’t remember when I first heard it. “We won’t need any special allowances.” However they have and they do.

You ask to whom am I referring. Many know or have suspicions. Everyone should know.

As women complained that they were not getting equal pay. I, and others tried to explain, women always need allowances. They need more time off. They frequently quit when they marry. Some work requires strength, sometimes much more.

Now, just as anticipated, women need, what, 8 weeks paternity leave. Don’t try to tell me they carry their weight. I worked in a computer room with two women and there were two of us men. Guess who carried all the 40 lb boxes up two flights of stairs. I am sure the man already there was glad I hired on. His load instantly decreased by half.

It does make me wonder, though I never had the courage ask, what would they do if the 2 of us men had to leave. My best guess, they would find someone from another department.

Don’t get me wrong. I am the first one to yell, equal work, equal pay. Only, if women do less work, they should get reduced pay. The instant they demand special allowances, it is not equal work.

They keep asking the ludicrous question, “What if the president orders….?” The assumption is that the military will obediently follow any order issues, which just is not true.

You see, the American military is radically different. After WWII, the German soldiers repeatedly used the excuse, “I was only following orders.” You see, the German soldiers of the day were obligated to follow orders regardless. American soldiers are only obligated to follow lawful orders.

If a senior officer orders a murder and the subordinate follows the order, he is just as guilty as the senior officer. Therefore, most senior officers won’t make unlawful orders. Indeed, it is highly ingrained in his training.

Provided the dems did not mess with this discipline, generals and admirals will not follow unlawful orders. A president would be foolish to try it. Very likely, it would quickly become public.

Krystals has had an open dining room for quite a while. I used to sit in there for hours working on my books. I worked knitez and I stopped on the way home. Most times, I had a chicken salad, then sipped Diet Coke as I made sure my hero won the day. Unfortunately, they stopped making salad a long time ago.

Still, they had corn dogs, but no more. Well, they still make Kristals and I had four of them, 1 more than I should have. My wife quickly downed 2 of their chile dogs. The service was fast, professional and friendly.

I am sure we will be back. It has been a while since I had one of their wonderful little chicken sandwiches. Then too, their breakfasts are so much better than McDonald’s. The hitch is deciding.

It gives me another reason to be angry at Fauci. It has been a long time since I was able to sit down and enjoy Kristals at Kristals. Come to think of it, he may have had something to do with the downturn of McDonald’s and Wendy’s. Fact is, I do believe he wanted to destroy all restaurants, especially the smaller ones. I’m sure we all know some family operated restaurants that did not make it through the pandemic, especially in the blue states.

I am so glad Kristals is back, even if I never went in there again. Fauci is the one who needs to be put away… in prison for a thousand years.

I’m sure someone already said what I am going to write. Someone must have. It’s so obvious, so simple, someone must have said it. Yet, in my 76 years, I can’t remember anyone saying it, not directly, anyway.

The longer you put something off, the less options you’ll have. The more you make the wrong decisions, the fewer options you have.

Conversely, the more time you prepare, the more options you’ll have.

Think about it. I wish I had, about 60 years ago.
