The Real Story

-


While we’ve all been back in the O.J. in the white Bronco days as we watched the alleged criminal former president travel by plane from Florida to New York and back, there was a really important news story being completely ignored.

Look at the anguish on the faces of those children who were refusing to enter the classroom because they’re afraid of being gunned down while they’re learning fractions.

And the Democratic lawmakers who stood with those children were removed and threatened to be tossed out of the government and perhaps in jail.

I say it again:

Look at the anguish in the eyes of those children. Think about the fact that all they want is a chance to make it through the freaking 6th grade without bullet holes.

And it’s way well past time to do something about it!

It’s not a taking all the guns away from all the people.

It’s about trying something to stop crazed, desperate people away from weapons of war.

Those kids are yelling at the adults:

“DO SOMETHING!”

And you know what the adults were doing instead of even giving that protest the attention it deserved?

They were following the plane carrying a bloated, sad excuse of a human who is in trouble for paying off a porn star and falsifying every record he could so he could steal.

He tried to write off the payments on the taxes he doesn’t pay!

Is this even the real world???

Check the faces of those kids one more time.

They’re begging us to do something.

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...

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!
