The News!!!

Melania Trump was asked what she thought when she heard the old tape. Her first response was (she said):

"Donald, the language is inappropriate."

Who actually believes that it went down like that?

I can imagine what Kathy might say!

"The language is inappropriate" might take a back seat to "Get the hell out of my house, you creepy bastard."

She went on to explain that the poor 59-year-old guy was egged on by Billy Bush.

Damn!

She has to start watching who her senior citizen hangs out with...bad influences can stunt the growth of an adolescent mind.

And to be fair and balanced:

Don't you think that Hillary needs an IT guy?

She certainly comes across as someone, like me, who is challenged by technology. I can imagine asking my wife or kids.

"Why is there a big 'C' on all the damn documents? Does that stand for Clifford?"

How about the guy who shot at Zimmerman getting 20 years?

Isn't it ironic?

Zimmerman showed up to chastise the guy about being reckless with human life.

How about the dude who was being interviewed and flat-out stated his attentions to kill Clinton if she became president?

If you didn't see that interview, look it up.

Guy might be the dumbest human ever!

He was pressed by the reporter and he made a complete ass of himself by saying:

"I'll be a patriot if I have to."

Brutal!

Watching a lot of baseball around here.

My kids are also fired up about the Bills and Sabres.

Yet I must be completely lost at living life because I can't understand how or why anyone would watch an NFL, NHL or NBA game and think that baseball is boring.

The baseball games have been epically entertaining and although I have watched very little football this year...

...I have often spent the latter portions of the games wondering:

"How much freaking time is left in this garbage?"

That's some of the news from here.

Anyone else sick of the election coverage, or hearing from a friend about how he or she will ruin us forever?

Whole bunch of nastiness.

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
