Different

Elvis Presley’s house is within bicycle range. However, to see it I would have to go to a part of Memphis I avoid these days. There was a time I would not have hesitated to strole down the part of Highway 51.

These days, I make sure to maintain a good 5 or 6 miles from the area, even while in a car.

The hitch is, I am a little different. I have no desire to see the place anyway. Hence all I have ever seen is what I can see over the fence. It will remain that way even if someone offered me a free guided tour. I never was a fan.

Politicians Who Seek Personal Power

In the series of books I have written about floaters, I call them controllers, sort of like Old Joe and a number of senators and representatives. This would Include city mayors who like the prestige more than the job. That includes the brass in the military more interested in their news headlines than the mission and the good of his men. And then, of course there are those George Soros district attorneys who, for personal gain, have released untold numbers of the bad guys.

Need I really continue? Is any of this new to anyone?

Ant Hills

Mt 17:20, we are told if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can command mountains to move. Maybe it also takes patience and practice.

As for me, I am still working on ant hills, though I must admit I was surprised with an occasional mole hill. In fact, if you want that type of help, you would be far better off finding someone else. Time and time again, I pray for A and I get B instead. I don’t have a good record but a negative one.

Obviously, the problem is me. I have hopes of improving. The hitch is that time is running out, and I really do need to move more than an ant hill.

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.
