Asleep & Gassy

-

They really should be televising the court case.

For the 3rd time in 4 days the defendant fell asleep during the trial.

There are reports going around that the courtroom was cleared by the defendant farting in his sleep.

Your GOP presidential candidate, ladies and gentlemen!

The sad part about the news of the day is that you really can’t be sure what is true and what might be exaggerated.

Yet, this particular story?

Most certainly sounds true. There was a clip of a meeting in the White House where poor Diane Feinstein was seated next to Donny Dumps in his Depends and the microphone picked up the sound.

A split-second later, Feinstein, who wasn’t really all there at that point in her career, turns and flashes a look of pure disgust.

As the courtroom drama of the day ended, the defendant stepped in front of the microphone and made the case for lifting the gag order so that he could attack the jurors, I guess.

Those poor jurors are in some serious trouble. Their names haven’t been released but their professions, hometowns and ages have been made public.

A man set himself on fire outside the courtroom to protest the case against the flatulence king of the party.

Do you think the jurors are going to be safe?

A couple have quit already.

As insane as all of this is, it is also truly sad…

…America has devolved into an absolute mess.

Once again, there are people who are going to disappear into the voting booth and pull the lever next to his name…

…that is if all of his lawyers don’t quit because they can’t sit at the table next to him.

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,”
