Ho-Hum, He Did It

-
So, Tuesday brought 4 witnesses to the impeachment hearings.

The Republicans actually wanted to hear from two of them...

...one of the others was a Purple Heart veteran who was quickly bashed by the GOP quiz masters...

...they like soldiers who don’t get hurt.

But the afternoon session brought Volker and Morrison. The GOP was happy they were included so the witch hunt could be fully exposed.

Uh, nope!

They backed up the story everyone was telling.

The money was being withheld until Trump got his investigation of Biden.

It happened.

Like we all knew it did.

Now what?

There’s no spin left.

Quid quo pro - check.

Extortion - check.

Bribery - check.

Abuse of power - oh yeah.

There’s more to do.

Sondland will drive the final nail in the case tomorrow...

...and then what?

Some are saying that the trip to Walter Reed was to bring about the resignation for health reasons in an effort to avoid the possible indignity of getting tossed.

Others are saying that there will be no conviction in the senate because all those above checks are just fine with this group of Republicans.

I was on a plane...

...checked the television sets all around me.

About 10% of the sets were tuned to the hearings.

Everyone else was watching “The Big Bang Theory”.

So many people are simply tired of the constant chaos and never-ending whining and crying.

No one is even reading the 270 “everyone is picking on me” tweets.

Ho-hum...

...what else is on?

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 be...

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...

Eyes on the Horizon

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
