Out!

-

 So, Cuomo resigned.

I got so many messages and beeps when it happened I thought it was an Amber Alert.

Thing is:

I don’t care.

Maybe I should, but I spent so much time and energy on the political games of a corrupt mess over the last four years that I got truly bored of it.

Crimes being committed all around and hopes being raised that someone might be held accountable…

…and not much happening to punish the slobs who were pretending to govern.

But Cuomo couldn’t withstand it all.

Okay, he got what he probably should have got.

I was creeped out when he did his press conference saying that he grabbed and kissed people because that’s what he does.

He probably shouldn’t.

Imagine someone just grabbing your face and kissing your lips.

Ugh.

But it does amaze me that some people have strutted through that storm with zero accountability.

I know some politicians who have 25 or 30 or 50 women stacked against them…

…while admitting it on a bus…

…and zip.

Some women wore shirts that said “He can grab my…

Makes zero sense.

But it’s about being a decent human.

The politicians, sports stars, and in general rich dopes feel entitled to behave as they wish.

Cuomo was front and center every day during Covid. He wrote a book about how great they did about two freaking years ago!

We still have plenty of Covid.

He might have been better served by being less in everyone’s face about his greatness, but that’s how it goes.

I don’t care much to worry about it.

The next set of politicians will be corrupted and entitled as well.

It’s the system we built.

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,”
