One Week to Go

-

I can’t imagine that there are many undecided voters, and I am loathe to stuff my political opinions down anyone’s throat, but I’ve always been honest about my thoughts, and I believe that faithful readers of this blog are well aware as to how I voted.

What I think those who might be wavering should truly think about:

1). Who is mentally fit.

They’re both old white men and I often hear about speaking gaffes related to Biden.

Do me a favor, though, just listen to a Trump rally.

Tell me what, if anything is true. 

2). Working as United States

I have never heard anyone govern - out loud - in favor or against a state based on whether or not they voted for you.

Blue states and red states?

That’s not a way to go.

3). Covid response 

The virus doesn’t have any idea who is a democrat and who is a republican.

My question is in regard to who can best solve this, or at least control it.

We don’t have cases and deaths only because we do a lot of testing. That’s simply NOT why it’s spreading.

Listen to the plans of each man...

...they’re out there.

We are either following the advice of medical experts or we’re going to wish it away. 

You decide which guy is for which option.

4). Division

We can’t handle much more in the way of political division. 

It’s crippling us.

One side is against something because the other side is for it, and vice-versa.

It’s been going that way for a long, long time and the gap is huge.

It has to be bridged...

...in the next 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 40 years.

We have to start working in that direction.

Which guy promotes division?

Those answers were clear to me.

I voted that way.

If your answers are different, and you trust the information, vote that way.

But fake this and fake that and everyone is against me...

...woe is me?

Day after day of absolute chaos?

I’m done with it...

...pray we all are.

It doesn't matter who your vote is for because of the state you live in. Sadly there are about six states that will decide this election.

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!
