On the count of 3, let''s all get upset!

 

 Original typed on 4-30-24

My reaction, each time I see a teevee commercial for:

Blue and pink bears who bought a home in the city so they wouldn't have to poop in the woods

The doctor who punches a patient who asks about a new drug no one can pronounce, but costs a ton

All the commercials that make everyone look stupid because that's what the dark money wants

Most political candidates who try to convince you they care about you and will work for you

Most political candidates who try to convince you they're not lying

Most political incumbents who want you to believe they believe the candidate they're endorsing

Bull tweedy infinitum

Have a happy 1th of the month tomorrow!

 Today ONLY is a numerical Palindrome    4-24-24

It won't happen again until, never mind.  It won't matter.

Another numerical Palindrome is Newton Falls, Ohio, the ONLY Zip Code with the same number 44444

That won't happen again until ice cubes are available in Hell, not the one in Michigan or the Cayman Islands

If you even care somewhat or not at all, please catch the following series:

A brief history of the future illustrates how we're effing up our once beautiful planet and what people are doing to lessen and hopefully discontinue the abuse.  We've become too greedy, disregarding all else!

I believe I have an open mind...such that it is, according to some of my acquaintances. Based on all the reading I've done, conversations with intelligent people on both sides of the pulpit, meditation, etc., I'm convinced about re-incarnation. That's a sharing for another day, although some of you have already heard parts of my journey. 

 Today is about afterward. One of my questions is, "Do we retain our brain patterns and conscious minds?" Based on what I've absorbed and what I currently see, there's GOT to be more intelligence in a better place than what we've allowed to abuse the beauty our Gods have provided. Will it continue or will the plug merely be pulled, ending it all? 

During my 2016 prostate surgery, I spent some time in the oft told story of, "The White Room." I had zero fear, just awe and wonder. Cool was experiencing just THAT! No people, time or music. No walls, corners, floor, ceiling, ergo, NO GEOMERTY! 

 I had no body...only the eyes to see the wonder and the brain to absorb and retain it all, allowing me to share with everyone. Did they feel what I saw? I ask that only now, because, back then, it didn't matter. For today, whether you "buy" it or not is your choice. As has been said many times by others, "I know what I saw!" I'm glad I was "there" and kept its memory. 

 To me, it's proof of happy, safe and good. once we go beyond, "The White Room."

So far, there's been zero response to the 4-1 enigma I posted yesterday. 

Purposely made simple, even I understood it!

Say, kids! How's 'bout the latest rounds of political mud-slinging, from ALL sides?  I fired up the dusty time machine, auto-piloting to my childhood playground and heard more intelligently traded barbs from pre-teeners than those bandied about the Dee Cee 'arena.'  Incidentally, the playground kids shared laughs, made up and engaged in a fun game of 'choose sides baseball.'

Results you've been anxiously awaiting: Thanks for your undying patience!

CURLING 2024 WORLD MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP At Schaffhausen, Switzerland

Competition can be quite intense, therefore, don't hurriedly eject from your "Lazy Boy,"  thereby regretting a missed Vjoookkschtedd, while you were re-filling the cheese & sun-parched herring charcuterie!

Secret Science? OR, MY "Open Mic" theory of relativity

 Most of us know 'Murphy's Law,' stating, "If something can go wrong, it will!"  Some of us can still recall the 'Kilroy was here' cartoon character who showed his fingers and only half of his face posed over a picket fence, concocted by the ever comedic soldiers of World War 2, perhaps even earlier.

I update those historic/hysterics into: Imagine 2 Kilroy terrestrials perched upon said fence, one being God and the other as Saint Peter. St. Pete offers, "Looks as if Bob is having a nice, happy day."  Noting the comment, God responds with, "Oh YEAH? Watch THIS!"

Can you see how time can evolve most situations, other than 2 plus 2 equals 4?  That is, until artificial intelligence determines a way to be more 'meaningful' way to add.

If you know anything regarding DNA, you're aware that science has determined content modification. Question is, evolution or intervention? DNA science is quite new, so, it's obvious more time is required to research its complexities.

Alright class, please turn your 'Blue Book' to chapter 51, titled, '1947 Conspiratorial Considerations,' wherein, we'll discuss the possibility of DNA manipulation in the 1950s. If research proves modification, it probably explains the non-committing, low moral, sub-par performing generation of elected officials. Further, should we somehow determine a parallel performance that led to the fall of the Roman empire, we'd certainly be awarded a Nobel Prize!

Class is dismissed for the day. Remember to verify quality and operational ease of your mental seat belts!

Current Events March 14, 2024

 Speaker John Mikeson sent a proposed bill to congress, requesting all citizens lining up to watch the eclipse on April 8, 2024, are asked to not use hair dryers, vacuum cleaners or leaf blowers during the sun's blockage.  A recent study of 7 impatient seniors at a bus shelter in Tucumcari, showed 57.1% believe wind moving appliances might interfere with natural air movement and cause dangerous wobbling of the sun, moon and earth, resulting in a kaleidoscopic appearance of the atmosphere.  Doctors at sohighsniff.unorg warn that there's currently no cure and advise all to not look any higher than their knees during the event.  This information was overheard at a truck-stop diner in Threecumcari, by someone not authorized to tell stories that might make little Johnny sad.  A phone call to Cancel Culture went directly to voice mail.

A recent notable quote from a newsmaker in  The Suns Newspaper communities:  

Parma Heights Service Director,  Robert P. Sepik on the city raising fortune-telling fees from $25 to $50 a year: "They should have seen this coming.”

If you run into Albert Einstein today at the coffee shop, don't forget to wish him a "Happy 145th!"

Holy MACKrel dere, Andy!

If you don't recognize the above statement, you haven't celebrated many candle blowouts. Hint: It's from an old radio program.  If you don't recognize the word, radio, even GOD can't help you!

Regardless, looking out the window, it's obvious that 1 hour "Spring Ahead" wasn't enough to leapfrog us into some balmy weather.  Hint: Snow is falling!  Typically, when the flakes fall, the bottle of snow block is hiding somewhere w-a-y back in the medicine chest.  

You have heard of medicine chests, haven't you?  No?  C'MON, arreddy!!!

Even though I was a good boy and accomplished my share of DST prep, it didn't work!  I did arise quite early and shot off to the local mega grocer to take part in their ''7 for $7 specials."  Good deals to be had, if you get their before the soccer moms.

So far, the snow isn't super thick, as I can still see the neighbor's house across the road.  Getting to the store early was its own blessing because I didn't have to search for the Sunday edition of my newspaper.  Some of you might remember those.  Hint: It's that wide foldout thingie your Grampa hid behind as the rest of us sat at the breakfast table, exchanging taunts!

Enough of this.  Go on about your day.  Ask for guidance from above, toss a smile and hug someone.

If you're of the persuasion, may your Ramadan begin with hopes of peace for all.

Blessings~~~
