…..It has its moments…..but the things that nags me….is all the mail I’ve been receiving offering me…..one of those chairs you can put in your house….and it helps you get up the stairs just by pushing a button…..I don’t need one…..yet…..I still run for the bus…..right after Nicole takes off and darts for it…..and then there’s the ads….for my hearing….like I can’t hear Nicole screaming from the bedroom….for me to bring her another cookie…..plus, I have “eternal parent-hearing”…..I raised kids…..parents can hear a fly fart….and how can I forget the offers to buy a “walker”…..really?…..when it comes to walking with me…..I kill socks…..just ask Nicole…..and I can have my food delivered if I have a problem getting it myself…..there’s only one person on this planet I cannot out-shop…..and that’s my mom….the woman wears me out…..and that’s hard to do……now the walking canes they offer I can use those…..I can’t find a good baseball bat to leave by the door to greet stupid people…..so two of those would do…..I mean hey,……thanks for the offers but I’m just retired…..not old!
YOU KNOW WHAT?…..Let Donald Trump run for a third time….seriously, let him run for the presidency again….because I want Obama to run for a third time too,
A.I. MUSIC…..Is the new trend…..and maybe the end of “Tinkle-Toilet-Tunes”….that’s when you take your laptop with you into the toilet…..and while you sit and dispose of waste products….you tap out a catchy tune….and for some reason….many become the new tunes of ear-splitting garbage…..coming through that thing designed to spit out noise in your car or home…..it’s nothing we can do about it…..it’s coming….just like disco did…..I’m not worried about A.I. music……because since the beginning…..whether it was the lyre player during medieval times…..Bach, Beethoven, Mozart playing in front of Queens and Kings…..Coltrane jammin’ in East St. Louis…..or The Sex Pistol’s trashing CBGB’s…..one of the reasons it will never surpass “real musicians” is something we call…. “Chemistry!”
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS SEND A WARNING TO ALL TRAVELERS…..And you should heed it….the government shutdown has forced air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers….to work without pay for the past several weeks….with many controllers officially missing their first paycheck this week…..and this has led to staffing shortages and strain….on the individuals whose job is to ensure safe air travel….and that could make travel a little less safe….Nick Daniels, president of the National Aie Traffic Controllers Association said this strain put on them makes air travel less safe….. “America’s air traffic controllers are now having to focus on how they put gas in the car….how do they take care of their children….how do they pay for childcare…..that makes the system less safe”…..Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said….. “My job is to keep the airspace safe….and so, if I don’t feel like I have enough controllers or enough controllers that are focused….we will slow down traffic….we will stop traffic”…..and that’s what Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) did recently….they shut down the airport……have you seen the videos of passengers waiting in lines….to pass through the TSA check point?…..good luck…..I can’t wait to see the madness that’s gonna happen….in a few weeks when it’s Turkey Day.
NATIONAL FOOTBAL LEAGUE 2025……COMMANDERS/SEATTLE SEAHAWKS….I’m not sure if it’s still called RFK Stadium…..but one thing is for sure…. “THAT STADIUM IS INJURY CURSED”….do you have any idea how many football players have been injured in that field?….Jalen Hurts was nearly crushed…..Gus Frerotte had a concussion….Jayden Daniels elbow went in a direction it wasn’t designed to go in….Joe Burrow ACL…..Adrian Peterson ACL….RG III ACL….Chase Young ACL….Alex Smith had his leg shattered….Ryan Fitzpatrick’s hip….Kyle Allen busted up his leg…..and let’s not forget the ultimate injury of all times….when Lawrence Taylor of the NY Giants tackled Joe Theismann’s and made his leg resemble the letter “L”…..y’all need to smudge that place…..call in a few Catholic priests to do that Lind Blair Exorcist thang…..something, anything……because that place is injury “cursed.”
I LOVE JAPAN……In Japan….a creative response to educational gaps is gaining momentum….. night study buses for teens…..these mobile classrooms travel through neighborhoods that lack access to libraries or tutoring centers…..offering free homework help right where it’s needed…..each bus is equipped with tables, lights, and comfortable seating…..creating a focused learning space on wheels……tutors ride along the entire route….offering personalized support in math, language, and science….some are university students, others retired teachers…..all volunteering their time to uplift local youth…..the buses park at familiar public spots for fixed hours…..allowing students to hop on after school…..especially those whose parents work late or whose homes lack quiet space…..inside, Wi-Fi is available for online resources….and shelves hold donated books and supplies…..the atmosphere is supportive, not formal…..many students come just to study near others or ask a single question…..there’s no pressure, no judgment, only guidance and warmth…..this initiative isn’t just about homework……it’s about providing consistency, mentoring, and a safe place to learn…..especially for teens in low-income or rural areas…..by transforming the humble bus into a rolling classroom…..Japan is proving that education doesn’t need grand buildings……just access, wheels, and people who care.
A WILD ELEPHANT….Broke a man’s legs during an attack….and I’ll assume it went to lunch….or hung out with his crew in the herd…..something…..because later that night..…he came back and killed him…..you do know elephants “never forget”……maybe it was revenge for all his friends….who are now intricate parts….of a piano…..elephants and dolphins….still my favorite mammals…..humans…..a dead last!…..Sri Lanka did ban “Drunk Driving” on elephants….maybe the dude was drunk and fell off….and the elephant quoted Erykah Badu.
DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU…..But if states want to force women to watch videos and ultrasounds…..before receiving an abortion…..than states should force gun nuts…..to watch videos of kids being murdered in schools…..before buying firearms…..just sayin’.
