I Suppose it is a Matter of Time

Posted in Uncategorized by

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

Posted in Uncategorized by

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

Posted in Uncategorized by

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.

Kould All my Guesses be Rong

Posted in Uncategorized by

Yupp! I’d have never thunked it but guess I was.

I’d heard the thinking that they were going to put another bridge over the Mississippi near Memphis and rote bout it earlier. If I rememorize right I suggested 3 maybe 4 places, all wrong, apparently. Shows what I don’t know.

So where will it be? Apparently where the old I55 bridge is now.

That’s not a guess. They will replace the current 4 lane with, likely a 6 lane. Already they are working on the west approach. Incidentally an 8 lane won’t be nough.

Unfortunately, that means us Mississippians will have to wait. It means we will need to go through Memphis to cross the river or go down to Helena.

I wonder just how much it would cost to set up a ferry. Bunch of folks down here south of the stateline willing to go through a lot to avoid one of the most dangerous cities in the country. ( I’m referring to the drivers as well as all that shooting… Almost 1 a day for 2023. )

True Story, Maybe

Posted in Uncategorized by

Actually , 3rd hand, maybe fourth. I don’t know. Of course I know enough to know better than repeat that which I don’t know as true, especially when I have absolutely no proof.

Nonetheless, I did hear it on the radio and it was implied to be true. That is at least as good as stories I’ve heard from dems as absolute fact.

Besides, it could be true. It very easily might be representative of who knows how many untold true stories inside and outside medicine.

The man said his wife had 2 high blood pressure pregnancies. Oddly, her 3rd pregnancy, her pressure was normal at the doctor’s office and high at home.

The husband brought this to the attention of the doctor at the next office visit. The doctor looked at the chart and saw that the nurse again noted the pressure as normal. The doctor measured her pressure and saw it was high.

The doctor called the nurse in and told her to check the pressure again, afterwhich, she announced it was normal. It seemed she never learned how to take a pressure manually. The doctor immediately dismissed the nurse. Then after the appointment the doctor started checking on the many others the nurse saw.

Is the story true? I don’t know. Howsomever, do you want a nurse checking your blood pressure when she knows not how? For that matter, any test?

Do we want nurses hired by their skill or their color? Just where do we want the priority.

A plane stood ready to take off and lost a wheel. That actually happened. It shouldn’t make me wonder but it does. Was the mechanic that last worked on it hired because of his ability? Or was it something else? Maybe he was the cousin of a brother-in-law.

I have no right to judge. I did work on F4s and I can’t claim a perfect record. I can tell you first hand it is easy to make serious mistakes. It is all the more reason to chose excellency over fairness.

The Chair Dispute

Posted in Uncategorized by

When I approach my chair, I wave my arm and tell the cat to get down, she just looks at me. Actually, I do know she understands. She’s just stubborn. I end up having to physically remove her. Then she goes walking off with that body language, I was getting up anyway.

Win Lottery?

Posted in Uncategorized by

Well. I would be very surprised. I don’t participate in such. My small fortune is far too valuable to my wife and I.

If I may, I will explain what I might do if, as in the “Fidler on the Roof” song, I Were a Rich Man.

I guess the first thing I would do would be to guard it from the dems. I am sure that there are the 100s who would all know all these wonderful places for money. Did you know there are over a million registered charities that would be glad to take small, or larger sum from you. They are all wonderful organizations, I am sure. Only thing is, if I started with a million and gave each a dollar, I’d be penniless.

Some might want to sell me gold. That might be nice to have, but I can’t eat gold. I think I would rather have a year or two of survival food. Moreover, gasoline would be more useful. Did you know gold is very soft. That makes it a pretty sorry material for building. I think steel and aluminum would be far more useful.

A small plot of land seems a good investment. Old Joe and Obama seem to like the idea ocean coast property, despite the threat they keep telling us about. The ocean is about to rise 10 feet you know. Well, I’ll just make sure I’m 20 feet above the current tidal levels.

I think I would really like to start a really good school for teaching people of all ages to read. It would not be expensive. Rent a little space, hire a few teachers and pay the electric bill. If I didn’t have enough for teachers, I would just start teaching. Perhaps, I could find a volunteer or 2, or 3.

Of course, none of this would ever happen. I don’t buy lottery tickets. I have not once been in any of the local casinos. I have no desire.

It is likely because I never could win at gambling as a kid. I learned very young. Gambling, even if you win, is a bad idea. Besides, I do have a good understanding of math. I know my chances. Don’t like giving money away.
