Strange Timeline

-

Doesn’t it seem like the whole freaking timeline has gone around the bend.

They say that a show has ‘jumped a shark’ when the writers of the show run out of ideas - a reference to when Fonzie jumped the shark on ‘Happy Days’.

America might have jumped the shark.

- Herschel Walker is about two days away from being found to have run an abortion clinic.

He’s a guy running on his deep love of Christ (which is hard to argue) but his past is kind of unraveling on him. His kids are rebelling. Women are popping up with abortion receipts.

It’s an amazing story…and he might still win! Which is insane because he can’t string three coherent thoughts together.

But that’s not important in a senator. Plenty of evidence showing that dumb-dumbs walk those halls.

Not to be out done the investigations into the former president are ongoing and equally insane. They still haven’t found all the classified documents and every time he speaks he yells, ‘I want my stolen documents back!’

Jumped the shark!

West Wing and VEEP have nothing on whoever is writing this script.

There’s a war in Russia and OPEC is talking about holding back oil…

…and some Americans are rooting for that to happen!

So that the other party might look bad!

And we are heading into election season and a cold 🥶 winter.

At least when you’re watching a series and the writing goes in the crapper you can bail.

We can’t bail right now.

We have to see how it all plays out.

We need new characters soon…

…the old actors are getting tiresome.

I long for the old days when no one followed politics every day.

Before we jumped the shark.

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,”
