Friday’s summary

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I have been spending a lot of time looking over Lee’s posts.  The last few years (roughly 2020 to the present) were really hard years.  Not just for Lee and me, but for other members of the blog .  It was almost as if we were all being tested.  I am truly hoping the test is over.

There is still a problem with smoky air–you can’t see it, but the air quality is not good.  Hopefully we will be having showers for the next few days and that will help to clear it out.  Between the bad air and the heat (which actually is not too bad) I have been avoiding doing much outside.

Tomorrow I have to go to the little store downtown and things should be better by then.  I always enjoy the conversation with the owner of the store.  They are having their issues with the powers that be.  It seems they go to town meetings and are more or less told to be quiet.

My daughter and her husband are having a weekend getaway.  She deserves it.  She works in retail–to me one of the hardest ways to make a living–so she is always working (or so it seems).

That about sums things up.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

This is a very interesting reaction.  The horse is most definitely participating.

Joe Collidge at rest

I’m a little daunted by the inexplicable success of Friday’s “Joe Collidge” post, “Trumpt he Is Finnished.” It had only seven views the day it came out: “Laid an egg with that one,” I thought. But Saturday it had 27–unheard-of! And this morning, ten more.

Just for the record, President Trump is not “Finnished” by any means, although we can surely hope the freakin’ Democrats are. Here in New Jersey, one of our Democrat Congressman is so disgusted with the dum-dum on Capitol Hill, he has announced his intention to turn Republican.

One of the perils of writing satire is that someone might take it seriously. I try to stay outside the bounds of credibility when I write satire, but the boundaries of real-world silliness are expanding all the time. What’s satire today may well be news tomorrow.

The “Joe Collidge” pieces are written with satirical intent, as a commentary on the blustering, blithering twaddle that calls itself “higher education.” If Joe ever says anything that turns out to be true, it’s pure accident. He certainly wouldn’t do it on purpose.

So don’t be afraid of anything he says. But be afraid of an “education” system that cranks out liberals. Be very afraid of that.

As for today…

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Another quiet, non-ambitious day.  It is far too hot and the air is crappy.  My neighbor told me about the wildfires in Canada, which have given us an overcast sky and bad air.  It’s not as bad as the time a couple of years ago, which went on for a few days and the sky was a very creepy shade of burnt orange from horizon to horizon. It scared me to look out of the window.  It was really bad.

Going over Lee’s posts today I had to laugh because I remembered the time when he did not know what spam was.  He truly detested change and technology.  I remember explaining spam and showing him some of the stuff our computer filtered out.  He nearly fainted at some of the subject matter.  He actually got very good using the computer and once he got used to the keyboard, was just fine.  Lee was one of the fastest typists I’ve ever known.  He was as fast on a manual typewriter as many people are on keyboards.  He loved his manual typewriter, which he had used for years.  He truly did not want to give it up.

Somewhere in this apartment there is a picture of Lee at about 9 years old, seated at a typewriter.  I hope I can find it eventually–if I do I’ll post it.  I have no idea where it is, and  I hope it turns up eventually.

Well, that about sums it up for today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

The click language (one of them) of Africa

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I find this group of languages truly fascinating.  I hope they do not disappear like so many languages have.  There are quite a few that use the clicking and popping sounds.  Thought you might find it interesting.
