   My older son, as an elementary school child, affirmed that if he wanted to eat fungus he would lick his toes.

   Nice comic. A year ago I decided to try to start writing the funny stories of my life for my granddaughter, have about 15 so far. I then asked my 92-year-old dad to do the same (he started using a computer when he was 80.) He allowed me to read his drafts. Interesting how his stories mostly revolve around growing up in the depression. Then there was a little about his 4 Navy years in Korea, and barely a couple of lines about his 30 years working when I was growing up, and nothing on his retirement travels.

   All we really need is another Paul Harvey. 5 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes at lunch.

   A couple of years ago I visited my son in Jacksonville. I left around 24 hours before a hurricane was coming in and the ocean waves were impressively strong.

   My son and I were exchanging notes yesterday; I sent him a baseball meme, “Nolan Ryan laughing at the idea of 4 pitchers needed to throw a no-hitter.” I argued the best baseball game ever was Warren Spahn (age 42) vs Juan Marichal (age 25), somewhere around 1963. Scoreless after 11 innings or so, Casey Stengel purportedly told Spahn that he was pulling him, and Spahn said something like, “If that kid can keep going, so can I.” Complete game for both pitchers, 15 1/3 innings for Spahn, 16 for Marichal.

   No disrespect for Harvey Haddix intended, nor for Koufax/Bob Hendley.

   Seat belts were available long before bureaucrats were involved; air bags kill more people than they save; there is no Federal standard requiring cars to drive on the right, and that was the custom before there were any laws. If you try to rob me and flee to another state, my solution is to shoot you before you leave. Almost no Fedeal law is needed.

    Automobile standards? Crime is a local problem, and the political corruption in the FBI Washington offices is the strong argument for their abolition; not persuaded crime is a national problem, localized as it is in large blue cities. State Department is the best example of an unnecessary entity, other than FTC. States need to spend whatever they need to spend for the local quality of life and quit relying on Federal largesse.
