Great & Unmatched Wisdom

-
Well, now it’s dangerous for our allies.

Even the GOP is upset about the Kurds being in harm’s way now because Trump has decided to yank the troops who were helping the people who were helping us in the fight against Isis.

It’s a decision that will cost lives...

...and Trump, who sets policies on Twitter...

...tweeted a couple of real beauties.

In one he threatened to go back and blast them if they didn’t cooperate.

Then he bragged about his ‘great and unmatched wisdom.’

I don’t follow him on twitter, but I don’t have to. His unhinged tweets eventually make their way to me and I read this one in real time.

It turned my stomach.

He’s the president of the most powerful country in the world and his words can result in markets crashing and lives being lost.

Great and unmatched wisdom?

And it has become downright disturbing.

When he asked China to interfere in the next election everyone agreed that it was impeachable and despicable...

...even the most staunch of his supporters didn’t see a way to spin his words to make it seem not crazy.

So, they said that he was joking!

Yeah.

‘Cause he’s so funny.

The farmers just received billions more in welfare because of the tariff war with China.

Every day Americans are paying the price.

This lunacy has cost suffering.

Now, it will cost the lives of one of our allies.

Great and unmatched wisdom.

Make it stop.

Somehow, some way, stop this insanity.

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,”
