I read that he looks forward to it. Something about "come into my den, said the spider to the fly" - but people don't realize that Trump is the spider and these fuckwits are flies.
This is refreshing, because it confirms what I have felt all along - I do not trust her. There is something about the way she is so cool, so calm, so collected, and that in itself is unnerving. My brother, a Vietnam Vet, lived in Hawaii and met her, and when he moved back Stateside to live with us before he died a few months ago, couldn't stop gushing about her. I tried to tell him, Bro, do your research. He didn't have the slightest interest in doing so. He's not around anymore so he won't have to worry about it, but still, there is something about this woman that just gives me bad vibes.
Still don't trust her. She might be a rising star in some circles, but there is more to this than meets the eye.
Weird dream the other night. Was sitting in a USO club overseas with some buddies of mine whom I knew on the Eisenhower in the 80's. We're shooting the shit and buying each other rounds, then it gets really quiet. Then, President Trump walks in and we all snap to attention and render a firm salute. One of the guys says "standing by, Mr. President" and he comes over to us, says "at ease" and then says "Let's go fix this shit."
That's one way to make a point. Holy Toledo.
What are you still doing on Facebook?

I'm more into Native American spiritualism, but thanks for the sentiment.
Native Americans used to use bison droppings, so there's that.
I enjoyed that movie, but I do have to admit that after a while Forrest became a little annoying.
Looks like a cameo profile.
I saw somewhere recently that she is really alive and was last seen at a Trump rally.
I have a feeling that some of the clowns who feel it necessary to pay homeowners a visit aren't going to get a very warm reception.
Sure hope our silver is going to be worth something, but hey, what the hell, I've never seen a Brinks truck or a U-Haul following a hearse, and you can't take it with you anyway. I just want to die in bed, glass of scotch in one hand, cigar in the other, wife by my side, and I'm cranking Frank Sinatra's My Way, and then check out with a massive heart attack 😊
Just noticed your name, lol. You know what used to freak me out about Gumby? He used to drive around in that train that made its own tracks as it went along. I watched that shit when I was four and it used to freak me the hell out trying to figure out where those train tracks were coming from 🤪
I miss my old flip phone. That thing was cool. You pick it up and you call someone, and you could look like Gibbs in NCIS while doing it.
I think Tennessee did, at least in certain counties in the eastern part.
"I am a sick, demented, pedophile who showers with my daughter and likes pudding." Wait, that's fourteen words. Sorry.
Always felt there was something off about that service anyway. Even though they backtracked recently, I still think they're done.
At the rate things are going, it is all going to end up on the plains of Megiddo. If Iran is successful in building a nuclear bomb, they've already stated their intent is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. I'm not a Bible person, but I do know that Armageddon is talked about a lot.
Start finding another outlet other than substances you put in your body. There are those who tell you meditation will work, or yoga, or walking, or something like that. Find something that works. I did. I never really abused substances or anything like that, although I had every reason to because of physical, sexual and emotional abuse as a child, either from my mother or from the Catholic Church. My recommendation, and it's not for everyone, is classical music. Use headphones if you don't want to bother anyone. Start off with some popular pieces, then graduate to the ones that aren't played very often. I have a hundred examples and won't list them here, but here's one: take a listen to the Adagio from Mozart's 23rd Piano Concerto. Listen to how the piano beckons to the orchestra to come in, and when it does, listen to the gradual and increasing level of power as the orchestra takes over. The piano then responds, and they have a back and forth. They're talking to each other but the piano controls the flow. You have to realize that Mozart created this all in his head and had it completed before he put it to paper. Try that with other pieces. Listen to how Beethoven's music changes as he grows older - it becomes louder, more forceful, as he copes with his increasing hearing loss. Listen to Piano Concerto No. 2, a happy piece, and then No. 3 [my favorite] and you will notice a change to solemness and sorrow. Let the music get inside you and you may notice an overall change in your mental acuity, for the better. Just a suggestion.
Took a drive today with the wife, we went to walk in downtown Knoxville around Market Square. I can't remember when the weather was that perfect. Yesterday we went up to the Cumberland Gap and drove up to the lookout. The view was fantastic. For both days I got to thinking about what I do for a living, teach math in high school. 25 years so far, but I didn't start right out of school, I worked in private industry for about ten years after I got out of the Navy, then went back to get my degrees. All this time I thought I would teach past retirement, and told myself when it wasn't fun anymore, I would find something else. Well, it isn't fun anymore. Parents don't hold their kids accountable. Administration caters to them. Kids are hyper-sensitive, and most don't seem to care. I have noticed that teachers don't care anymore either. That cracking sound you hear is my heart breaking. It's such a shame. You work the majority of your whole life and realize you haven't made the difference you thought you would. I often think of Johann Sebastian Bach, one of my heroes. On his deathbed he is purported to have said: "Forgive me, my God, my only hope was to educate them."
I actually met him once in Rogersville about two years ago. Shook his hand. Seems like a nice guy but I don't care for his policies.
I wondered about that...tonight is the Hunter's Moon. It rose big and bright here in eastern Tennessee, and it was cool to see Jupiter close by. Maybe that was the October 8th event?
EDIT: I just had to throw this one in there - did you hear about the new restaurant that opened up on the moon? They say the food's great, it just lacks atmosphere....😜
No disrespect to your liking for popcorn, but I am going to have the Scotch and Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey ready.
