HE BLAMED THE DOOR!!!

-

My heart has been so heavy all week.

I’ve listened to anguished parents wail in horror as they spoke of their beautiful murdered children.

I drove past a funeral procession for those murdered here in Buffalo.

And I’ve tried my best not to listen to the:

“Forks don’t make you fat,” morons.

But Ted Cruz, man.

It’s hard to miss him.

He’s tried to get in front of every microphone on every station to tell us how ‘fervently’ he’s praying for answers to this real pickle of a question.

A couple of years ago it was because there weren’t enough Christians.

Texas is 93% Christian.

Japan is 2% Christian.

Guess which place has more mass shootings?

So, he needed a new talking point.

The doors!!!

I’d say watch the video but you probably don’t want to because Ted Cruz is in it, but he tries his best to sell his new theory.

“The back door was unlocked!”

Yeah.

“We need to have a front entrance and an armed guard seated there.”

That’s what we had in Buffalo.

A security guard with a pee shooter has zero chance against the weapon and the attire of a man intent to kill as many as possible.

The security guard in Buffalo was immediately killed.

So what happens then, Ted?

The gunman is marching through and no one can exit any other way except by him?

And the SWAT team?

They have to come through the one door that the man is standing in front of?

Insane.

What about regular old fires?

They also brought up the armed teachers and armed lunch ladies again.

Teachers are quitting the profession in droves.

Suddenly they need military training?

SWAT let that man alone for an hour because they were concerned for their safety!

But Edna the lunch lady is supposed to take him out???

Will Edna be forced to wear body armor as she dishes out the jello cubes?

It’s the guns, dummy.

But we most likely haven’t heard the last from Rafael from Canada.

I’m interested in seeing his next theory.

“What if we made someone really be Batman? We could send up a bat signal and everything! I’m telling you! It could work!! Batman! He’ll throw that thing from his belt and knock the gun right out of the bad guy’s hand! It could work!!”

Moronic.

My Lord.

Please, please, please…

…tell me it will be different this time.

I have doors all over my house!

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!
