In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

I'm Seeing Some People Mistakenly Expected Integrity

Biden pardoned his son. Some people appear to be shocked, or can't quite grasp the action. Integrity would demand Hunter bellied up to the bar and faced the consequences of his actions. Biden doesn't have that, most people know this, and expecting anything else is foolish speculation.

This Article Made Me Laugh

Bill Clinton states he couldn't sleep for two years after Hillary lost. He doesn't admit the real reason, but his excuse probably keeps Hillary from nagging him day and night. In most situations, I might feel a little compassion for someone with such problems, but with him, if it's like being in Gitmo with loud pop music being played for 24 hours each day, it's only a small sample of the punishment he deserves.

It Would Only Take a Payload of Rocks

From what I've seen about the hypersonic missile strike, nuclear weapons will be a thing of the past. A payload of rocks, breaking apart a few thousand feet above the ground, at multiple times the speed of sound, would destroy huge sections of a city. There would be no radioactive after effects, and the destruction horrific. With the added fact missiles of this type are too fast for protective measures, those that have them can call the shots.

Salted Pecans and a Lesson Learned

Years ago, probably when I was around 12 years old, I started dipping into the salted pecans at my grandmother's to satisfy my appetite while waiting for Thanksgiving dinner. I would eat a few, go back for some more, ate too many, and they came back up. I made it to the bathroom unobserved, and hid the evidence with a toilet flush. I never told anyone, since such things were frowned upon...or at least I thought they were. I really don't know. I do know I had my first encounter with heartburn that day, and the dinner wasn't quite the enjoyable event I envisioned. 

Since that time, salted pecans are something I avoid. I've tried them, but liking the taste is gone, and will never return.

Early Thanksgiving

We're celebrating Thanksgiving on Wednesday due to some out of town ventures by family, and hunting. It will be good, but a reminder of my family is all gone, and all I will have to celebrate with them are memories. For those that have family still around, savor the day, and never forget every Thanksgiving may be one of their last.
