If you boil a funny bone it becomes a laughing stock. Now that’s humerus!

I’m so old that I can remember when Aunt Becky wasn’t a criminal.

Ironic that US election day is also Saint Hubert Day, Patron Saint of the hunter.

yellow and red leaves swirl in the november breeze chilled and free falling gently apart and together in bunches and separate i heard him take his finally breath ragged and labored till his soul did snap away and become wild once again and into that changing of greater space and as i opened my eyes to see and as i opened my mouth to cry a single droplet of blessed rain filled with all that the world can give and that God does create danced on my dry and flaccid tongue and yet and yet my thirst for knowledge never slaked and how my eyes burned with liquid fire and only now can i feel that near-blue sky as it collapses over earth and me into that majestic hue of orange and purple turning black as the coat of the dog and friend i lost in this early mornings quiet and so when you cry bitterly for him cry a bitter tear for me too

hot shower, clean clothes
work set aside today
mourning for old dog

After hours of searching, I cannot find any actual video footage of the Biden bus being stopped or attempted to be pushed off the road in New Brunsfels, Texas. (If I am missing it, please paste a link, because I haven’t seen it.)

What I do see is a small white car try to force a large black truck off the road, but the driver of the truck pushes the white car out of its lane. I think we are once again seeing a propaganda job, being told what to see, rather than allowing our eyes and brains to observe and seeing what really happened.

And I’m even using their footage because none of the social platforms are allowing an unedited copy of videos to be shared. When are we gonna turn off the unethical media and social media?

Also, note how quiet the media/social media has been about a US Spec Force operation that rescued an American citizen from terrorist/kidnappers a couple of days ago. Don’t want to let the current administration have any real ‘good’ press. I mean, God forbid that the truth be told by anyone in the news department.

To prove my point, I went to YouTube and the only US published video of the story comes from FOX News, and that ain’t saying much.

Are you tired of the bullshit, yet?

As I sit here checking my FB, waiting for Nevada’s number one legal sex-worker to reply to me, I can’t help but tap out a few meaningless words about my early morning.

As for the sex-worker (we don’t call them prostitutes anymore,) she’s my new hero as she is suing Nevada Governor Sisolak because he is disallowing the brothels from re-opening. And I’m fairly sure you know how I feel about Herr Sissy-lick.

Brothels are legal in 15 of 17 Nevada counties, though not all have them. So, since it is a legal trade plied in the state, it is a business that needs rightful consideration when it comes to re-opening.

Even Sunday mornings are full of interest…

My Samsung not only has me perplexed, it has every technician at AT&T scratching their head, too. It doesn’t ring when someone calls me, unless it is my wife, my son, daughter-in-law or a friend who lives in Arkansas.

Neither does it show the phone number of the caller, save for those afore mentioned persons above. This means I cannot respond to most texts, because the phone has no idea what the return number is and if anyone leaves a voice mail, unless they state their number, I cannot call them back unless I know who they are and I have their number on hand.

Case in point, I have a friend named Barb Y. Her husband died last August and I’ve have been trying to help her by getting her connected with county and state welfare.

Problem is that she changed phones, phone number etc., and though she keeps calling me and texting me, I have no way of returning her texts or calls. Worse yet, the last I spoke to her she was being moved and damned if I know where.

So, Barb – if you by chance read this – no, I am not ghosting you, but please, could you leave a phone number in your next voice mail or text. Also let me know where you are physically so I can come to you.

Then there is this…

The elderly Italian that lives east of us, the one who collects military memorabilia and to whom I sold my United Nations beret and crest to, passed away yesterday. Piero was 89-years-young.

His daughter, Alessi came by to let me know and to return the beret and crest. I offered to return the money he paid for it, but she declined stating that he’d want me to have it because then I’d remember him.

Damned shame, he was a joy to talk too, though I had a hard time understanding him as his accent was so full. Alessi is going to take him back home to New York (I thought she was going to say Italy) to be laid to rest in the family plot next to his two brothers.

I know I keep saying it, but…fucking 2020!

Ugh or aargh? I cannot make up my mind which incoherent sound my life is more like right now. So many things have me by the short hairs that I find myself turning in tight circles.

First is the big thing, the worse thing, the so-called 500-pound gorilla in the room, which is actually a 16-year-old lab/chow mix who weighs about 50 pounds. Sadly, I’m tasked with the job of taking him to the vet one final time.

I hate it and I hate myself for the fact that I gotta do it.

All I keep thinking, aside from fucking 2020, is why me and why alone? SHIT!

This will happen on Monday. I cannot watch this good dog suffer anymore and I need to swallow hard and do what must be done.

done…

Next, over the last three weeks I’ve had this recurring dream. A woman named Doris, who I went to high school with, and I run into each other outside an ancient building, perhaps a church or a very small castle.

While I don’t know were she is walking from, I am passing through a grove of pink and red roses.

It feels as if we are running from something and so to escape whatever or whoever it is, we go inside the large wood door. Once inside it is like walking down and down and down a never ending hallway.

There are open doors on either side of the wide expanse, but there is no light to see what is inside the rooms. However, we are left to feel as if there is something evil in each room and while we want to run away we are stuck in slow-motion and can only walk.

Through several nights and mornings, I have revisited this dream in full. Time after time We were never able to get to the end of this hallway and the door that we could see.

Then like that I stopped having the dream.

Three nights ago, I realized that this dream was no longer haunting my sleep. But I think that because I thought that, the damn thing returned – only she and I made it down the hall and through the door.

The doorway emptied into a bazaar or open market, with fruit, vegetables and all variety of colored clothe. As we stood examining a bolt of silk, a man dressed in the older 1940’s and 50s style of a French gendarme with his light-blue kepi and cape.

While I watch him enter and pass through the market, I notice that my friend Doris is doing everything she can to keep her face hidden from his eyes. But he sees her anyway and grabs her violently.

As the pair tussle, I stepped in and started kicking him in the head. And it is there, that I keep waking up.

Stress, that is all I can chalk this up too.

Finally, an admission of sorts as I need to get this off my chest:  Biden is about to be elected president.

There are too many things that happened between 2009 and 2017, and into today, that I could never have imagined — from a president and vice-president violating the law, a dishonest media lying and hiding the truth, that a so-called pandemic would lead to a single-minded and illegal nationwide ‘mail-in’ voting scam, and that half of this nation would condone absolute evil in pedophilia and corruption, simply to get rid of a man that they hate, but cannot explain why their hate.

So, is it ‘aargh,’ or ‘ugh?’ Maybe you in the waking world can answer my question.

Who needs the Bermuda Triangle when you have all the rest of 2020.

Heading into the last week of the presidential campaign swing, Vice President Mike Pence delivered remarks during a rally last Thursday at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Meanwhile, Eric Trump also made a campaign stop Tuesday in Reno at the Atlantis Casino Resort.

Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris also stopped in Reno on Tuesday to campaign for herself and Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden. Senator Harris spoke to an audience of about 100 at the Bartley Ranch Regional Park’s Hawkins amphitheater.
