Walking my dog

 

Walking my dog tonight I couldn’t help but notice the sky was crystal clear. The half moon was shinning and was bright enough to light our way. And…the air temp was still in the lower fifties. That is pretty, awesome, for the last part of January here in northern Alabama.

 

While many like me will agree we are blessed to have warm spells during our winter months, others will likely produce a conspiracy theory of why we shouldn't be happy about this. There are those that will attribute this to climate change and that we need to begin to put all our houses on stilts because we are about to be flooded. Others I’m sure will say that Trump set up the good weather just as he was leaving office.

 

While to me and most Americans with a little common sense all this seems far, fetched, and ridiculous. Millions of people all across our nation believe in stupid crap like this. This is what the social media generation has become. Our news is coming from writers that make a living from fueling what ever side of the public they can get a rise out of. Many believe “Memes” are real.” Surely none of my readers actually believe Bernie Sanders was spotted on Inland lake today in a bass boat. Well, in his defense if he was it probably the best thing he’s done in a really long time.

 

I truly hope that 2021 will be a better more productive year than the last one. We need to become a nation that does smart things again. Elon Musk can’t do it all by himself. If you think our system is broken then lend a hand to fix it. Lending a hand to fix it doesn’t mean bitching about it online, constantly posting about the political party you don’t like, or trashing cities. You want to make a difference, find productive things to focus and work on. Otherwise, you’re just part of the problem.

 

I personally think the beautiful Alabama weather is simply because we live in the south and we have warm spells during the winter. RIP Eddie Van Halen, 2020 sucked and we missed you. PS. Say hello to Neil Peart for us.

Civil War Talk Is Foolish

 

Civil war talk is foolish…and is spoken by fools. The only ones that receive a pardon from this label would be our current and former military members. They have been there and done that. They have seen what happens to nations at war. They know first, hand what is coming. So, if and when, the majority of our military members think its time to fight, only then would I be prompted to do so.

 

For the rest of you screaming to take our country back by force, you have obviously not thought things out completely. Most of you are bitchng because your kids aren’t back in full time school yet due to the pandemic. Spoiler alert, during and after a civil war they won’t be going back at all. You won’t be going to work everyday. You won’t earn a paycheck or receive your unemployment check.

 

Food supplies will be cut off or localized until they run out and people you know and love will be hungry. Some will starve. People will die. Sounds like fun huh. Not to me it doesn’t. Some across this nation cried and needed a safe place after Hilary lost the election, there will be no safe places. Many people I know could live off the land for a while, many I know wanting a war have never even camped out overnight in a tent. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, but you are not ready for this kind of a war.

 

This civil war you are wanting is not the same as going to a rally or a protest. You don’t get to go raise a little hell for a bit and then go back home. Doesn’t matter if you like the rules of engagement or not, the other side isn’t going to care. If you have something they need they will take it. I hope for some of you this message sinks in. This rage spreading across our nation has got to be chilled somehow. Otherwise, we will destroy ourselves. It is very, sad to see such a civilized people act this way.

 

For many of us we have left a mess that our children and grandchildren may never be able to clean up. It is time to take a step back, take a deep breath and relax a minute. Do you really want to put our children through this or is there a better way? Your comments as usual are welcome. We don’t even have to agree. If you like or don’t like my common sense approach to things, I still invite you to follow my blog. Maybe it will not be banned from the internet. Like, share, follow, and I’ll see some of you next time.

Awesome stuff!

Donald Trump's Downfall was himself

 

Like all United States presidents both before and those that will come after, Donald Trump had a chance to do great things. He had a chance to push America forward and bring unity across the land. Instead, he chose to make his four years in the Whitehouse all about himself. This was the beginning of his downfall.

 

One of the things that stands out so strongly in my mind was Trumps use of social media. Nothing wrong with a president using social media, just use it for the right reasons and in a manner that pleases more people than it pisses off. After all, he was the president of the United States…not a blogger or a social influencer living and dying on how many views he gets. Tweeting or posting accomplishments should be fine for a president unless they just plainly come off arrogant or sound like bragging. No one likes bragging.

 

A president that for first time in history was doing all the things he promised out on the campaign trail. But for the life of him he wouldn’t or couldn’t tone things down, and act like a grown up. He did way too many things unbecoming of our president for millions of people to overlook.

 

He used his four years to cater to only those that voted for him. Neglecting those that didn’t find favor with him. Had he put the same time and energy building on both sides of the political arena, he probably would have been a two, term president. Instead, he leaves the office in a whirlwind of chaos.

Hello My Friends

 

Hello my friends. Many of you I know personally, many through Facebook only. To each of you no matter how I know you I would like to wish you a happy and productive new year. For so many the old year sucked and I am happy to put it in the rear view mirror.

 

Todays blog doesn’t really have a set direction. For the first time in a long time, it just feels like a lazy Sunday morning. My dog can’t decide whether to stare outside at cats or just lay in the floor in a sunny spot. That is what you call having it made.

 

For me, I know I have a million things I need to do, but if I do them remains to be seen. What will you do on this beautiful day? It would be an honor if you hit the Follow button on my blog so that you never miss one. Likes and shares are great too. If you do, or did something interesting, please share it in the comments. Have a great day!
