Read (past tense read pronounced as the color red) the Book

Saw the movie. As usual the book was better. I don’t have any inclination at all to see the remake of Dune.

With all the ‘going woke stuff’ Hollywood stuffs in their work these days, I can’t imagine the remake being nearly as good as the original.

Regardless, I see no point to doing the research. I think I would rather watch reruns of NCIS.

Oddly Strange

Almost to the person, people holding major office have really good reasons for not having term limits.

Certainly, to be sure it could not have anything to do with self serving purposes, like gains in power and wealth.I wonder if they would feel the same way if their wealth were somehow limited. I mean who wants to continue to work for nothing more than a representative or senator’s pay, especially with the inflation as it is.

There ought to be a law

There was, at one time, a newspaper comic by the name. Maybe still is. It was one I looked forward to. Maybe I have one that should be added.

I keep seeing these adds on TV with men in military uniforms. Is there no law. There ought to be. Certainly they should not have men on active service in TV ads. Why should they be permitted to make it appear that way. It gives the appearance that they endorse that product.

I hope that is not true. I hope the government is not now or at any time doing such endorsements. It’s not right.

1 final word. Do not expect me to respond positively to such ads. Moreover, I would hope other veterans and active duty people will. I certainly hope that those now using such ads will cease. We who have fought should not be forced to appear to say things against what we believe.

THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW! Why are there none?

Mind Readers

I am currently watching Columbo on COZI TV. They started running that commercial about wrinkles under the eyes, but then as I reached the remote the commercial changed suddenly. Do you suppose they read my mind? Do you suppose they didn’t like all the repetition.

Naw. Even I know better. Still, it does make a person wonder.

regardless , it was good not to listen to all that gibberish for the millionth time.

Speaking of the Lottery

News flash. Woman just won millions in court by accusing Trump without proof. Who needs the lottery? Lots of millions floating around here, that is if you’re female and you have no qualms lying through your teeth. I mean the wopper form of lye.

Teasing cats with lasers

I’m sure they love it too. I keep it on a Keychain and they know the sound when I pick it up. I can’t take it within hand before they look at me ready to go. And they will chase it till they drop. I am not that mean to them though. Only 3 or 4 minutes at a time.

My guess is that it’s good for them. Just wish I had a little more room for them.

Truth is, I don’t know which of us enjoys it more. No, that’s not true. I do.

I Suppose it is a Matter of Time

As with most, I like dogs, especially border collies. Then again there are those who get angry when you group border collies with dogs.

Regardless, it is something about timing. Had I been born a century earlier I’m sure I would prefer a horse. Walking is no fun.

I know it’s not a direct answer. Still, I guess things do very. A border collie would be pretty handy if I hearded sheep. Not only that, I would have a happy dog. Nothing makes a border collies happier than a few sheep.

Thing is, being 76, it would be a bad idea to get any animals. I could drop over and orphan them at any time.

Even so, we have a few felines. They keep me from floating up off my recliner while I’m napping. I guess that serves an important purpose.

Been Keeping an Eye out for Jessica Fletcher

Ever notice, when Jessica Fletcher shows up, someone gets murdered? Actually, I’m far from first to notice that. I am likely the only one to make the connection between Jessica Fletcher and Memphis.

I am confused. To the best of my knowledge, Jessica never visited Memphis. Yet here it is, an average of over a murder a day and Jessica is no where around.

If she is not around can someone please explain to me why Memphis has so many shootings car robberies and store break-ins. Who is it that seeks the record of the mid-south.

Well, I can make one guess. It might have something to do with the dems running the city government. It might have something to do with the George Soros selected DA.

I don’t believe any of this though. Too easy. I am still looking for Jessica or maybe another one of those TV-sleuths.

The Only Thing

Among others, Vince Lombardi said that winning is the only thing. Coach Lombardi was talking about football, a game.

There are those Old Joe has invited accross the the border who really believe that winning is everything and the only thing. They will gladly give their lives to destroy yours. It’s not a game but it’s called terrorism. Moreover, there are no rules. They will use any means to destroy you, me and this country.

Only then will those folks be happy. It makes me wonder if that will also make Old Joe happy.

Oddly I Had to Think About This One

I say oddly because it should have been really obvious. I spent 7 years doing it… teaching. If I didn’t have personal needs, you know. Shelter, food, clothing etc, I would teach without pay.

There is just something about seeing results. It is worth more than salary. Unfortunately, I would never be allowed to teach the complex stuff like is taught in public schools. I was limited to the more simple things like radar.

Nonetheless, I must admit, I did have a job for about 15 years just before I retired. Even more importantly, I worked for a good company and boss. Not many can say they enjoyed their twilight years at work as I did.

I was a computer operator. It was neat for me. While it was a little challenging, I was not a leader. I don’t like being a leader.

I had a difficult time figuring out what my dream job would be because it wasn’t my dream. It was for real. That made it all the better.
