Me4

Guy from southern Indiana Free

Born in '54 near the bucolic, pastoral town of Hitchcock, (also known as "Oxonia") in southern Indiana, in earshot of the celebrated Monon railroad ("The Hoosier Line"). Admiring my perpetually drunk, brawling, leg-breakin' WWII Battle of the Bulge veteran uncle, I grew up as a hell raisin', fist fightin', hard drinkin', drag racin', jail-bound ne'er-do-well teenager. But I soon learned the err of my ways, before any major tragedy occurred, fortunately. Today, I am widowed, repentant, reclusive and retired, just barely living off of Social Security, near the idyllic, sylvan town of Furnessville in northwest Indiana, within earshot of the historic South Shore railway. My final goal now is to try to outlive and take care of the stray cat and her three kittens that my beloved late wife and I rescued back in '19. They are the last of the many dogs and cats that we rescued over the years. Lots of jobs, many lessons learned, far too many regrets, but even more stories.

    That reminds me of Pete Best, the original drummer of the Beatles. After he got kicked out of the Beatles, he released a solo album entitled “Best of the Beatles”.

    And that’s why rockets are launched as close to the Equator as is practical…they get a little more bang for the buck.

    “VOTE BLUE! Don’t let it happen.” That’s for sure. Don’t be complacent! “Take it to the bank: Donald Trump will NOT be elected President!” — Nancy Pelosi, 2016. “Donald Trump will NOT be our next President!” — George Clooney, 2016. Such smug self-assurance led to Trump being elected. “People have told me, ‘I would have voted for you, but I didn’t think you needed my vote!” — Hillary Clinton, 2016.

    Is that a Yugo?

    Trump will probably bring back lynching. That’s what his whackadoodle followers tried to do to vice president Pence on January 6.

    Trump backs Louisiana’s new law which requires that the Ten Commandments be posted in every classroom. Trump committed adultery with a “paid woman” while his own wife was pregnant. He is hypocrisy personified.

    My favorite coffee is from a local truck stop. I can’t stand Starbucks… their coffee is overpriced and bitter. I suppose their fancy concoctions taste fantastic to some, but I want plain coffee, not something that drowns out coffee flavor with who-knows-what, and turns zero calorie coffee into 400+ calories.

    The Supreme Court just upheld a law that barred domestic abused from owning firearms. Only one Justice dissented: Just Clarence Thomas. How can he possibly justify that domestic abusers should have access to guns?!? Is he in the pockets of the NRA?

    The key to happiness in a world of pain and suffering is schadenfreude.

    Yes, I’m getting that error message from GoComics occasionally as well.
