Just A Thought

Well, damn.  I’m sitting here at the beach in a sand chair next to my red beach wagon.  I like to believe that when I spend time at a beach by myself, I can just pick a spot and pretty much be invisible and unnoticed.  Well, a lady just walked up to me who was amused and told me that, from a distance, as she was walking down the beach, it looked as though I was sitting in my wagon.  Well damn, I didn’t know I was making a silly optical spectacle of myself. 🤪  And then I was talking into my phone, thinking no one could possibly hear me or what I was saying because of the wind and the sound of the waves, and I glanced to my right, and there was a lady standing right there very close to my wagon! 🫢 Why was next to me her chosen place to stop to stand?  Well, damn again.  A lot of people go to the beach here even in February.  When you sit by the water, there is a pretty steady occurrence of people walking by.

 “Donald Duck is here.  Donald Duck is here.  Ronald, Donald.  Ronald, Donald.  Donald Duck is here!” I’ll bet I am the only one that remembers this little song even though I am not the one who once sang it. 😁 🎤 🎶  Oh shit, it’s a Donald Duck theme.   As a side note, it’s tough to get old.  I just for a moment thought that Donald Duck was one of the Looney Tunes characters.  No, that was Daffy Duck.  I do remember that Donald Duck is a Disney character.  I was never really a fan of the Looney Tunes cartoons when I was young.  Maybe I would appreciate them more now.  I have no idea.  I do know that I am a fan now of Looney Tunes.  I mean the Looney Tunes of my own mind though. Normal is boring and being a bit crazy is a lot more interesting. 

 I never heard of Bad Bunny until the recent Grammy awards and then the Super Bowl.  This is my feeling about the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show.  Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, so why shouldn’t Puerto Rico ever have the opportunity to be included in American cultural events like the Super Bowl and to also do so in their own cultural style and language.  Contrary to what some would like to be the case, culture is an ever evolving thing and cannot always maintain its status quo from bygone eras.  New generations will bring about new cultural changes and norms.  Sorry, old timers who don’t like this, but you just can’t stop the evolution of humanity and culture. https://youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8?si=qAoKNUSi5e6s5ZSK

It’s good to hear some words of truth and honesty from a former White House attorney, Ty Cobb, from Trumps first term.  The clip starts at 3:57.  If only everyone in this country understood and treated the truth of everything that is taking place for what it actually is.  https://youtu.be/XnJPrtFOfq8?si=eHqKJabu615wjjsd

  I believe that elections are the recourse and power still left to the people of the United States of America in determining our future.  May we all be wise and armed with accurate and not misleading information. 🙏 

 What will happen with Donald Trump and his presidency now that the 3 million new pages of the Epstein files have been released.  It will be insane if the answer is nothing and things just continue along as they been as if this is just one more outrageous thing added to Donald Trump’s years long list of outrageous things.  These are so not normal times.  Will there be a normal and appropriate response from the government to this new bombshell against Trump???? 

Secret Mall Apartment.  This is a cool and interesting documentary. 🧊👍 It reminds me that there are lots of good things to watch instead of always looking for news about what is going on in our presently very messed up country. https://www.netflix.com/us/title/82677429?s=i&trkid=258593161&vlang=en&trg=cp

 Calories and prices of food in the year 2026 have something in common.  They both add up very quickly.  

 I think very often what human beings lack that could make a world of difference to humanity is better information.  I like that thought.  I like ideas that are just nice and short and sweet. 

Why does everything in life have to have 500 million papers and be so complicated and confusing?  🤯

 I have a short Trump tale.  I thought of it myself with no AI assistance involved. Here is the brief tale.  During his life, Mr. Trump needs self-aggrandizement, dutiful subservience, military power and millions and billions of dollars.  At his life’s conclusion, he is met by the gatekeeper at the entrance to the kingdom of heaven.  The gatekeeper replies, “I’m sorry sir your lifetime’s currency holds no value here.  This is the realm of expanded awareness and connection with states of greater love, understanding and empathy.  Heaven’s currency can only be found in a heart’s desire to feel and comprehend its teachings of higher love.   I guess I also have a United States and NATO tale.   A message from America to NATO as it should be.  “We have failed to cope with our presidential, narcissistic, power grabbing and vengeful self appointed dictator and almighty king.  We are bareft of recourse.  It is America’s turn to be in nee...

  Yay, I can write anything!!  This is the glorious thing about having an online writing place that nobody ever looks at or sees.  Wow, such freedom of expression!!  Hakuna Matata!

 I miss winter ❄️ 🧊 and colder weather when I can’t even wear a pair of sweatpants around the house in the month of January without being too warm.  Our spells of cooler weather are very infrequent and always too brief.  

 So NATO allies have conducted meetings to come up with their plan for standing up against Donald Trump.  Well, good for them.  I sincerely hope they don’t chicken out.  Someone on the planet needs to stand up to Donald Trump.  It boggles the mind really.  Aren’t like millions of other people enough to stand up to one man?? 🤯  Yes NATO allies.  He cannot be allowed to use force and threats and the United States Military to obtain and be in control of whatever parts of the world he would like to add to his dominion.   I previously missed seeing these images that Mr. Trump posted on his Truth Social account.  The third image is my own cropping from the second image. 

 I appreciate that the Daughters of the American Revolution is a woke organization of women even in Texas!  They/we are committed to remembering and honoring all who are a part of our nation’s history.  DAR also acknowledges that without the much needed aid and assistance from France, Spain and other countries, we could not have won our battle for independence.  

 This is evidently by his own proclamation.  It is completely inappropriate for him to joke about such a thing.  It wouldn’t by surprising though if he actually does believe it. 

Great. 🙄 Mr. Trump’s MAGA ambition has now expanded to include him controlling and doing the same with other countries. MAGA  MVGA MIGA And then there is Greenland, the Panama Canal, the Gaza Strip and Canada.  Did I forget any other parts of the world?

 I forgot about and missed an appointment yesterday. 🫨 I get the dumb shit award for that.  

 Our ancestors who lived before even the time of telephones had only one way to communicate with family members or friends living at a distance from them, and that was by writing letters and waiting for them to be delivered through what we now call snail mail.  That is a striking difference from the world that we now live in when you really stopped to think about it.  There is also another striking difference in the present that I have thought about it recently.  Our newest human beings in the world will have no memory of an existence without both the Internet and artificial intelligence incorporated into their lives.  It struck me that this is a huge and striking difference.  To us older generations, there was a time when these things could only be science fiction.  Now for the world‘s newest human beings life without these technologies is just a story from the past.  It is just an idea of something that they know once was that is foreign from th...
