This Place Rules

-

We watched the documentary about the lead up to January 06, 2020.

It’s a quick watch that is often funny - by accident - as the rage and insane reasoning of the conspiracy theorists are documented.

It is absolutely insane what some people believe.

Evidently there is a globalist effort to turn the nation into a pedophilia country where babies are eaten and blood is devoured to do something or other.

The crazy part of it all is that there was supposed to be a savior.

The video shows groups of people chanting Jesus name to spread absolute rage and hatred.

And all along there are clips of fringe media ‘stars’ inciting that rise up.

What I have never understood is that people who broke the windows of the Capitol and destroyed property were wrapped in flags and screaming about being patriots.

Didn’t they see the hypocrisy?

Don’t they see it now?

We laughed at the man who proclaimed himself to be the voice of reason in exposing pedophiles.

He’s a convicted sex offender!

He explained that way by saying that he pled guilty because he couldn’t win the case against him.

Jake watched it all with us.

“It was good, right?” He asked.

“It was sad,” I said.

And that’s the bottom line.

It’s sad to see what some people have become…

…filled with misinformation.

And so full of rage.

I hope that we eventually get beyond it, but just two years later, we’re still in a little trouble.

Watch the doc.

It’s well done…

…even if it makes you sad.

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,”
