    Wiley the prophet. It’s uncanny how he’s been right so often. I fear he’s right again

    I recently had a birthday. A few people have taken notice when they are required to ask my birth-date for ID purposes. I tell them, “I is just another day.” It has always been this way. And with most holidays! In many places I have worked… someone will want the holiday off. I will offer to work so they can have a nice day. Yah… I got more pay. But I get to hear how much they had a great time! Christmas is no different. I think most holidays this year will be extra special for most people. They get to spend it with their loved ones. Independence Day is going to be more in the Back Yard… instead of going to some field to get stuck in the sand. People are making the holiday nice in their own little ways. By the time Christmas rolls around… people might actually be devising home-made gifts to ship off to loved ones! So… yes! barbecue the Reindeer… flavor it with pine tree wood! Ship sections of it along with a quart of Moonshine! And don’t forget the recipe for Eggnog to go with it! Either… we go all out and find a way to enjoy the little parts of life… or… it is just another day. It is up to you. You just have to get through the year and find out what the next will hold.

    I never did understand who paid him to do that. But whoever, I guess they’re not doing very well during the pandemic.

    I realise that we owe the whole North Pole and reindeer fable to Clement Moore, who embroidered out of all recognition the Germanic and Slavic adaptation of a story about a kind-hearted RC bishop who lived during the late classic period in what’s now Turkey.

    But the idea of Santa slaughtering and selling the flesh of his reindeer, who are his pets as well as his sleigh-pullers, is somehow quite distasteful (to me, at least) even as a cartoon.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures but a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

    Wiley is right in predicting a deep downturn in most of what we call normal in our lives and in our businesses. Incredible unemployment means unpaid rents, mortgages, car loans, and credit card debt – the biggest bites out of our income. After 3 to 6 months without real income, no new job will ever pay enough to overcome built up debt, especially with the accrued interest and added late payments.

    A question of priorities: recent news articles announced a company has paid an enormous price for several nearby acres, on which they plan to build apartments and condos. Suggested future rents are higher than what is being currently paid in this market.

    Are they completely blind to the current situation? Who will be able to afford them?

    What a world.

    Okay, that’s sort of dire, but in truth our pets are someone else’s barbecue. Sorry, but the world is a big place and some people need food more than nose boops.

    I wasn’t sure if the main point was the economic situation due to the pandemic or the environmental situation due to climate change. News today tells of more record temperatures in the Arctic circle so Santa’s workshop may have to move soon. I wonder if he has flood insurance.

    Years ago, Boom Chicago, an Amsterdam, Netherlands Comedy group, did a video where St. Nicholas’ helpers revolted and rapped about dining on croquettes filled with meat from the good saint’s horse.

    This just in. It’s a miracle! Michael Flynn is innocent…even though he admitted, in open court, under oath, to the crime. Court says “He didn’t do nuthin wrong.” Amerika what a country? Another NAZI trick, corrupt the courts. Laws don’t matter, if the courts are crooked.
