What? 1500 pages.

No. It was actually 15 thousand pages. Do you have any idea how long it takes to read that much legalese, let alone digest it properly.

OOPS. I apologize. I made a mistake. After checking back over it, I realized it is 100 thousand pages. this paragraph has been added after initial publication. Again I apologize.

At any rate, the state discovered it and just turned it it over to President Trump’s attorneys. It makes me wonder if Trump will be able to read any of it.

Properly, Trump’s lawyers asked for 90 days. The judge said 30. I hope they all had speed reading courses. Moreover, I am wondering whose bathroom all those papers were stored.

We are talking 150 pounds, likely more paper. It prompts the question, what does a person put on 15000 sheets of paper? Is it typed? Is it hand written? Does this mean all hand doodles are included.

It does make me wonder, if it takes that much cellulose for one trial, I now know where all our trees are going.

I do wonder, though. are these records going to become public. I wonder just why they had to get so wordy.

Oh. One more thing. If the judge were to be given a test on the content, would he pass it.

Stupid Rhetorical Question to Consider

If you have a tough problem, would you rather have help from 10 advisors or one man willing to fold up his sleeves and provide help.

Slightly different question, 10 men from FEMA or one strong man with a chain saw.

I suppose it can be considered a dozen ways. You know, like ten democrats or one republican. 10 college grads or one man with a good willing heart.

Mostly, I got the idea because I do have a problem and it seems the only thing I can find is advice. I can tell you from experience, that doesn’t help much.

My Job Was Technology

Most of my life was spent working with technology in some respect: electronics, computers, and the instruction of it. It is one profession where you cannot relax for a minute.

One minute, I’m thinking “someone needs to build something….” The next, I hear how someone has built it. It never stands still for a minute.

Mostly it’s been good. I never was fond of finding square roots on paper as in the 6th grade. Much better on a phone.

There are, however, drawbacks. It has really destroyed our ability to maintain our privacy. It has also made it easier for people to steal and destroy the lives of others.

It has certainly put the world on the brink of utter destruction, what 2 or 3 times. Who’s counting? Planes, boats and rockets are generally good productive things, but not always.

There are big advances in the field of biology. On the other hand we have monster scientists who use the knowledge to kill millions. Who would have thunk?

I do believe, however, that one place where technology has helped the most is to help those who have been crippled; to help those who have lost the use of their arms. Think of those who were born deaf and now they hear and speak.

If only we could permit the one use of of tech and not the other. However, I am convinced that this side of heaven, that is not going to happen. It takes a twisted mind to figure out how to turn a big jet passenger plane into a very destructive weapon. It is why those of us with normal minds never considered it.

Add a Smile or Two, or 3

How do I go about doing that? I almost always complement the staff, especially when they deserve it. I don’t do it for this purpose, but they are far more likely to remember me when I take a second to thank them.

I have made myself the unofficial baby inspector. To be sure, considering the type of people they let rome the streets these days, one must be careful. A parent can get the wrong idea.

Nonetheless, I do ask if I can say hello to their little ones while complementing them. I don’t think there is much that will bring a bright smile to a parent faster than a compliment to their child.

Holding a door works too, or thanking another for holding a door for me.

You might find this odd but some people don’t like my attempts at brightening the atmosphere. I look at this way. That is their problem, not mine.

Disabled British TV From My TV

Some folks have this idea that British programming is far superior to American. At first I did see some good programming coming from across the big pond, not so much anymore.

Decided to disable all 3 feeds on public TV. We already have all the junk we need. No point importing one bit more. If I am to watch junk, I will limit it to American junk.

Dealing With Pain

Something I learned a long time ago. If I am hurting, go to sleep. Don’t laugh. It has worked every time. When I was 23, I had my wisdom teeth removed. From what I understand it’s common.

The dentist had to break both the lower ones into 3 parts to remove it. Fortunately, he had the wisdom to work on each side about 2 months apart.

Nonetheless, each time, he prescribed Tylenol 3 and bed rest. I guess the meds helped but it wasn’t until after I shut my eyes that pain went away completely. It was the same for my gall bladder removal and multiple bypass procedure.

Sure they had pain drugs going into an IV. However, it was only while I was in slumber when the pain left completely. I am not an expert, but I suspect God has given us sleep to allow us a way to deal with pain. This seems to be for mental anguish as well as physical.

Well, since the blood clots have started, I have had plenty of chance to perform research on it. Also I have been doing lots of sleeping. So far, the theory has held true.

The problem is, I keep waking up. Every time I do, the pain returns with a vengeance. Wouldn’t mind a little Tylenol 3 about now… only if legal.

Just another reason to get that Fauci, given a chance. Just another reason to never believe that government medical establishment that is trying to force us to take those horrid shots. (I refuse to call them vaccines. They have 0 effectiveness.)

It is a shame some things can only be learned after the fact. Nonetheless, now they know and no one issues an apology and they still push the poison they call “the shot.”

I guess, as like me, others will only learn after the fact.

Color Me Spoiled

I was brought up in sunny California. It is an accurate description. The Christmas that I got my bicycle, my friends and I spent the day after riding all over the neighborhood.

The sun was busy doing it’s thing; there was hardly a cloud in the sky and the only reason we were sweating was because of our riding.

I guess I would have to say that that southern California weather is my favorite. Obviously, I was not alone in my opinion. During the time I spent in the area, property values skyrocketed.

It does somewhat remind me of one of my favorite Yogisms, “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” He was talking about one of his favorite restaurants. I’m referring to my favorite place on earth. Considering the weather, it’s hard to imagine people leaving, but they are, for a number of reasons, not the least of which it’s too overcrowded.

Too be sure, there were rainy days. Occasionally, it did get uncomfortably warm, but they were the exception. Most anywhere else they seem to be the rule.

So, alas, I spend the remainder of my life in a place with hot humid summers and cold windy winters because I chose a place not so crowded over a place with the ideal weather.

If One, Then Both

Here’s the way I figure it. If the prosecutor is guilty, then so is the DA. Looks to me the DA escaped one a big one. Well, maybe not. I guess it depends on if she can convince a jury that Trump is guilty. If not, she might start looking for another line of work.

Defending Democracy

The concept, of course, of democracy is one citizen, one vote. If some get more than one vote, or if some don’t get the opportunity to vote, it is no longer a democracy.

For this reason, we should guard our vote process carefully. We should go way out of the way to make laws that guard the process. Moreover, these laws should be very carefully enforced.

If this is not done, democracy will cease, which is just what the dems want. First the democracy fails and then The Constitution. Then we have a country like Haiti, just what the dems want. Then they can take it over and make it into what they want, not a democracy.
