It’s been 6,574 days since I watched the Pentagon burning through the office window – two wars and billions of “borrowed†dollars gone down the rabbit hole – Al Qaeda, Taliban, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Arab Spring, NSA, ISIS, Syria, Iran. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Year: 2019
75 Years Ago Today
Today marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the beginning of what General Eisehower called the “Great Crusade.” This was a time when all Americans – left, right, center or otherwise pulled together to achieve a common goal. Today, we find ourselves divided and not willing to work together to leave a better world for our children and their children. Some of us are fond of embracing slogans such as “Make America Great Again” while others contend that we never were that great, or that we’re already great. The truth no doubt lies somewhere in the middle. Maybe we should instead all work together to “Make America Better Than Ever.”
3730 Days
Just like last year, better late than never. My bionic left hip was 3,672 days (10 years) old on 29 March 2019. Today, on its 3,730th day of service, it has yet to rip, bust, collect dust, roll downhill, or unravel.
The Shorty
Miss Piggy (aka Piggy), our Jack Russell Shorty went to live in Doggie Heaven on 23 April 2019.
Piggy moved in with us and her late stepbrother Gunston in November 2004. She was a typical Jack Russell – full of energy and ready to chase her beloved tennis balls as long as one was willing to throw them. she was not a hunter like Gunston. But she was always willing to join in to help chase those pesky squirrels.
She will be sorely missed by all.
RIP Piggy, 20 March 2002 – 23 April 2019
Corrupt News
Seen this morning on Twitter…

President Obama’s top White House lawyer, Gregory B. Craig, was indicted yesterday on very serious charges. This is a really big story, but the Fake News New York Times didn’t even put it on page one, rather page 16. @washingtonpost not much better, “tiny†page one. Corrupt News!
Those of us who realize that front page news articles typically have a headline and a few lead-in paragraphs and are also intelligent enough to figure out what the “See Craig on A4” means will have discovered that the this article consumes almost half of Page A4 of today’s Washington Post.
Yes He Does!!
Do you know anyone who exhibits these traits? Although I’m sure I’ve met or heard of more than a few, there are four that I’m sure possess these traits. Three are people I’ve known for a number of years. The fourth I have never met nor do I wish to.
I love myself…
I think I’m grand!
I go to movies…
and hold my hand.
I wrap my arms around my waist.
When I get fresh.
I slap myself in the face.
