Stormy ⛈

It’s hard to believe that the story about the President of the United States paying hush money to a porn star that he had a year-long affair that began a few months after the birth of his youngest son...

...is hardly a story.

We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?

I am old enough to remember Dan Quayle being pretty much bounced because he couldn’t spell ‘potato.’

Howard Dean was hammered out of the race for a yell.

Who was the guy on the yacht?

Gary Hart?

He got bounced so fast that I don’t even really remember him.

Yet, the truest thing that Trump ever said was that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his base would stick with him.

“Thank God for President Trump,” one woman wrote in the comment section of the Donald-Stormy story.

“God has chosen Trump as our leader and he is in charge of where we are heading together as a nation. God Bless this man!!”

I laughed.

People believe what they want to believe when it makes no sense at all.

Of course, there was someone there to answer the woman.

“He was busted with a porn star! He cheated on his 3rd wife a month after his child was born!”

The woman who wrote the initial comment about God-Trump-Love  cleared it all up for those of us who are skeptical:

“He surrendered himself to God,” she wrote. “God forgives all who ask! Our president has been saved!”

Unbelievable!!!!

What’s hard to believe is that the story has been sitting out there since 2011. What’s even more troublesome is that ALL of the stories were there...

...but millions chose to ignore them.

Those same people are ignoring this one too...

...because God has chosen Donald...

...evidently.

These are Stormy ⛈ days indeed.

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,”
