Damn Scammers

 Damn scammers.  I had my first experience today of believing that I was communicating via email with a friend who was making a request for help only to discover that her email had been hacked and I was communicating with a scammer and not this friend.  People can really suck. 

Happy Presidents’ Day

 Happy Presidents’ Day to Presidents, citizens and patriots of the United States of America! May our country always find its way way through times of darkness and light to fulfill its destiny as a nation of freedom, opportunity, and equality for all men, women, and children.  May the beacon of America’s light never truly be extinguished and may this light always shine its way toward a bright and promising tomorrow.  ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸🙏  🎉 I’m sorry about your enlarged head, Mr. Trump.  This is what the AI image generator gave me.  I guess it has a sense of humor. 🫢😅

A Tree For All Seasons

 We can always count on the RGV to see trees for all seasons.  Alas I have no Irish ancestry.  I had hoped to find some to give me a reason to identify with and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but I have non. 🌲 ☘️ 

Hilarious 📬 😂

Well Damn Again

Image
 An older couple just passed by in front of me.  As they were walking by, the man looked up to me and said something that I couldn’t understand and gave me a thumbs up signal. What the hell?  I have no idea what he said.  Maybe I need to stop appearing as though I am sitting in a red wagon and talking to my phone and probably laughing at my phone also. 😲 Can’t a person sit on a beach in a semi tropical location in February and find it to be more quiet?   Well bah humbug.  A person should be able to sit in a red wagon at a beach and talk to and laugh at their phone if they want to.  There, I moved to the top of the beach.  The waves aren’t loud enough here to drown out words spoken into a phone.   I have another thought.  “Dear high school typing teacher.  I live in the year 2026.  I really do, do most of my typing with my thumbs only.  For real. 😂  It is true though that I do also type the old-fashioned way on a com...

Well Damn

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.

Ronald & Donald

 “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. 

Bad Bunny

Image
 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

Words Of Former White House Attorney

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

Elections

  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. 🙏 

Trump’s Presidency?

 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????
