Time Flies When You’re Having……Dread!

It’s been a while. I bet you all thought you were finally rid of me. Nope. I took a break. A fairly long break in turns out. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to say. Quite the opposite. I’ve had so much to say that I was paralyzed by what to write about next. So much fodder for the mind.

How about that State of the Union? Wasn’t that great? I just loved the way the “President” jutted out his chin right after he would say how great he is. Another take away is just how bland the Vice President is. So bland that he is beginning to fade away. Just a blur now. Soon, who knows, maybe he’ll become the first invisible Vice President (wait, wasn’t that Dan Quail?)!

I really didn’t pay attention to much that he said. Figured it was all bluster and lies anyway. Though I did have one good takeaway; when he said that if it wasn’t for him we would probably be at war with North Korea now. That’s what he gets from his self-proclaimed love of Kim Jong-un and their “talks”? Just makes me wonder if there really is anything working under that mop of hair and behind the orange spray tan.

Okay, enough of that. What about all the democrats running for president? Anyone make you happy? Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Cory booker, Sen. Kamala Harris, ex-San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Rep. Tulips Gabbard, former W. Va. state Sen. Richard Ojeda, former Rep. John Delaney and former tech executive Andrew Yang. There are more, too many to list here. It’s a good start but it is really the force we need to bring radical change to our country?

That’s a bit of what’s been on my mind. Just a bit. There’s more to come to be sure. When? You ask with baited breath? I’ll do my best to be a little more consistent in the future. But it’s hard to find time to fit in both my golf days and my writing days (or ranting days). Remember, I don’t do this for a living. Believe it or not I do it for fun. I work at a real job for a living (just so I can do this and play golf and hang out with my granddaughter.

Back at you soon!

Goodbye 926F

With all the crap that has been going on in our country this story may top them all. Here is a link to the Huffington Post story. Thank you Haley Miller for bringing this to light. Everyone, please read this. Then think about why something like this is okay with anyone! What sense of accomplishment, thrill, etc. would any human feel by shooting an innocent animal. Not for food, not for the good of community but for pride! Maybe anyone who want to hunt for wolves needs to fight them on even terms. Fight with what you were born with, if you win I’ll be okay with your feeling of pride. But if you lose, well, you won’t be mourned.

Here is an excerpt from the Huffington Post:

A wild wolf beloved by wolf watchers and biologists who visit Yellowstone National Park has been shot dead by a hunter.

The 7-year-old female wolf, known to scientists as Lamar Canyon Wolf Pack member 926F, had wandered just outside Yellowstone last weekend and was legally killed by a trophy hunter.

Nicknamed “Spitfire” by wolf enthusiasts, the slain she-wolf was the daughter of famous alpha female 832F, who inspired the book American Wolf: A True Story of Survival and Obsession in the West.
