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.

Trying to Make Some Sense Of It

 The Strait of Hormuz is open, and then it isn't, and then it is, and then it isn't....it's never ending. Some report say we bombed Iran's military out of existence, and others state there's so many hiding places, small boats, and armed military, it's almost impossible to find them all. With nobody really knowing who's in charge, the best description is it's total chaos. 

What will happen next? More corrupted intelligence will appear, large insurers will have bowel problems, the U.S. military will continue with thinking you can win a war by cherry-picking targets, NATO will continue to be a money pit, Europe will sit on its hands, China will threaten, Russia will threaten, North Korea will launce some missiles into the ocean, fuel prices will remain high, Australia will be low on fuel, Democrats will continue trying to destroy the United States, the media will continue publishing propaganda, and Iran will be another huge pit where billions are thrown into the building of bombs, so they can be dropped into the pit. It's good times for arms manufacturers, oil producers, politicians, and terrorists. The rest of the world will just have to suck it up and continue watching the madness.

  1. Jess...You are spot on. And because I know that nothing I can say or do will change anything, I choose to continue living my life and enjoying friends and family.

    1. Time will tell how this works out, but it's looking like it will far longer than the original announcement.

  3. And the stock market keeps climbing. Huh?

    1. It climbs, but I wonder how it would be reflected if the actual costs of inflation were factored. I doubt it would look so grand to investors.
