Never Thought About It

I guess, as long as I get to dream, which cost nothing, what I really would like; what I would really prefer is a staff of two and room for the 3 of us.

I need people with whom I can consult. There are the simple things, to be sure. Are things spelled right? Have I used the right punctuation? Sometimes I leave things out. On some occasions, I use far more words than I need.

However, sometimes I spend hours in research. I guess I should write more about what I know. It just is, sometimes my characters, all by themselves, decide to take off for India. Now, in view of the fact that some of my readers are from India, I really don’t like to admit it but I know very little of the country. Well, I have seen a few old movies.

Then too, I would like a good fact checker. I hate it when, in my blogging, I get facts wrong. Right now, I am my own fact checker and sometimes I get it wrong.

The dreams, of course, cost nothing. However, a staff of 2 would cost real money, which I don’t have.

1961 Oldsmobile Starfire

I don’t know how to say it, but it just looked to me the way a car should look. over the years, cars as well as the starfire went through changes. To me, they were not improvements. They got smaller, more expensive, but not as good.

The Starfire had a distinctive look. When you see one, it is instantly recognized. No other car ever looked similar before or since. Now similarities seem to goals.

Yeah. What a shame. Oddly, it is what we let our government do to us. Cars used to represent the owner. Cars now seem to all be designed by a small group of people to represent the government’s idea of the ideal transport. Individuality is being qushed, and not only with cars.

My car was was designed and built by Nissan. Yet, since I bought it, I found it has many resemblances to other cars, designed and built by other manufacturers, in the US & in Europe. I don’t understand that.

I guess, if the trend continues, all cars will look the same with a different logo on it.

Which begs the question, just who is copying whom.

Just Not Right

As mentioned earlier I am sleeping a lot due to illness. So I wake up and I see NFL Sunday. Not only that, they say they are coming from Los Angeles.

My first impression was, just what happened to Saturday?

I mean, I am in something of a fog these days but how does one lose a Saturday.

Then, another thing occurred to me. It was snowing. When the realization hit me, I figured they had a snow machine. No one on the set was dressed for cold.

Then I was somewhat reassured as the camera backed off some so I was able to see the snow machine. Now I’m not even sure it’s snow. After all they are right next to the land of special fx.

Now, as for the missing Saturday. Let’s face it. No form of special effects can pull that off. My handy dandy tablet was right next to me. I picked it up and it said that today is Saturday. And unlike TV programs, the computer never lies.

Now I feel so much better.

Under the Weather

I am doing a lot of sleeping. Then when I awake, it takes quite a while to determine if it’s night or day. I don’t much care for the confusion. And, oh yes, there are the coughing fits. Every time I cough, it feels as if my head will explode.

Three days now, I think. I am really ready for this to be over.

At the Dinner Table

Those who have read my posts know I do get flippant. I guess this is another one but let’s please look at it a little deeper.

When I was in boot camp, we all looked forward to mealtime. It was not just a time where we could eat, it was also a time when we could relax. Other than when we slept it was virtually the only time we could take it easy for about 15 minutes.

Far more than that, us humans are social. We never like eating alone. When we look across the table, we prefer to have someone looking back. I would suspect, besides my own experience, most everyone will agree with me, even those psychologists.

Most of us also agree it is good for a family to sit around the table at least once a day, preferably twice. It strengthens bonds and provides a feeling of belonging.

I’m old. It won’t be long I will be with the master, the creater of the universe. I will be able to dine with Him. I think that will then be my favorite place of all.

Impossible, but What if?

California is so far left, they’re going to start bumping up agin the curb. That is why I call it impossible. Nonetheless, I propose a situation that just might cause the party of dems to explode.

Let us say the California dems take their vote for granted and stay at home. Assume there’s some bad weather. I don’t know. Maybe Joe or one of his friends says something that hurts their feelings. (not difficult)

On the other side, there is a 100% turnout of the California Republicans. Then the impossible happens.

I wonder just what that would do with the dems. Now, let me see. Just how many electors does California have.

Hint to California Republicans. 2024 presidential election…vote. NY Republicans… vote. Then you can go home and watch as the dems start going stock raving mad. 

Education or Indoctrination?

Strange as it may seem, some people actually believe that schools should be a place to learn. You known, reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and science.

On the other hand, there are those that think we should ignore the basics and go right into the indoctrination. You know, sex (regardless of how distorted), communism, and, of course, methodology of election fraud.

Now, of course, our third graders might have difficulty reading in a 1st grade book. However he or she will know all about advance sex and, well if the are really the right gender.

History might not be their strongest subject. However, they will absolutely understand that Trump supporters charged the Capitol building in an attempt at insurrection, regardless of any proof otherwise.

Then, of course, the most important thing. None of us should own or possess anything. All should be shared and distributed among everyone. It is the perfect communism. Though it has failed every time it has been tried, we need to just keep repeating it till it works or we die… Whatever occurs first. Even should it become casual to the most obvious observer that it will never, ever work, we must keep trying, no matter how obviously insane it is.

Sounds like a very good reason for private schools. Why should all of out children be indoctrinated with such nonsense?
